I had to go back and look at your photo because of the lobster tail on the menu. When I had originally viewed the photo, I mistook it for a shrimp. It looks rather small. Was it tasty at least? Would you recommend the Seafood lunch? I am really enjoying your review and thank you very much for taking us along.

I think that I will reserve voicing my opinion on this subject until I return next month from my first post covid cruise on Celebrity. I will be able to compare it with my other post covid cruises on Regent and Carnival so it should be somewhere in the middle even though it is far more expensive than either due to the itinerary (Antarctica). I am not liking that Celebrity introduces a new reduction in product almost weekly but I will reserve judgment until the experience is complete. I am hoping that all the negativity hasn't jaded me already and that I can sail with an open mind.

Thanks. I also just received confirmation from our airline that testing is not required.

I am aware that, currently, a negative covid test is required to enter Brazil. However, I am having difficulty finding out if one is required simply to change planes in Sao Paolo. Has anyone done it recently? Is anyone familiar with current regulations? Even my TA is having difficulty getting the information.

I believe that the question was in regards to Puerto Madryn not Buenos Aires.

Hi Julie, Thanks for doing this live review. We will be getting on as you disembark. It will be our first M class ship and first cruise in this part of the world so really excited. Enjoy your cruise and post when convenient for you. We'll appreciate all your efforts.

I'm currently reading "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. It's a great read!

We did a Northern European cruise this summer (Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium and Amsterdam). While we loved it, be aware that many European ports are very far from cities and require a lot of time and effort to actually see the cities you are supposed to see. Paris, for example, is a 2 1/2 hour bus ride each way which really doesn't leave you much time to enjoy the city sights. Amsterdam is also a 2 bus and a train ride each way. While you do get to see the countryside on the journey, if your intent is to savour the city, keep this in mind.

Really enjoyed your review and your photos! Thank you for posting.

We are staying at this hotel pre cruise. It was booked by our travel agent and is included in our package so I am confident that all will be well.

Will do.

That is correct. For our 14 day cruise, I approached the Casino Hostess on Day 2 and made arrangements with her for the slot pull to take place near the end of the cruise.

Give it a day. Our check in opened 24 hours later than expected and everything worked fine.

Perfect! We're in cabin 7084. Looking forward to meeting you onboard! I've made a note to give you a call in case we don't meet up ahead of time.

Hi Debbie, We ended up booking through GetYourGuide. We should try to meet up and travel to the office together. BTW, I have snorkeled in Alaska and was not overly cold. My concern is what change of clothes to take? What will the temperature be when we get out of the water? Still need to do some research but so very excited to be doing this!!

Hi Debra, So glad to see this. I had almost given up hope when nobody responded to my post on the roll call. We were given the option to pay cash in person rather than pre pay a higher amount. This is what we will do. Glad we will be able to share this amazing adventure with others on our cruise. Anne

I would love to do this with Celebrity! Loved it once on Princess. I'm sure we would love it more with Celebrity.

We are looking at snorkeling with sea lions with Madryn Buceo. Has anyone done this? Do you recommend it? I loved snorkeling in Alaska and with stingrays in Grand Cayman. I feel that this would be a similarly exciting adventure. Madryn Buceo says their office is located about 1500 metres from the cruise port. This is certainly walkable. I'd love some information from anyone who has done it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the clarification

Thank you for the clarification.

Was the basic wifi referenced here purchased with the all included package? Seems to me that if each passenger pays for it, each passenger should be able to use it. I did not realize that it was shared between devices. Am I reading this incorrectly?

Was that for 1 person or 2? Trying to decide for our January cruise.

I'm having the same reaction of unbelief. We just did a Carnival cruise with the kids and grandkids and was thoroughly impressed with the Carnival app before and during the cruise. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that Celebrity's app is this way but I am disappointed after using such an intuitive and helpful app. I was really hoping for more.

We just returned from a cruise out of Dover. There was a train strike on the day of our arrival so had to do a last minute pivot from train to car service. We used 247 Airport Transfer. They were a little late picking us up both ways but the service and price were very good.

Am I correct to assume that they will also be made available for the Antarctic cruises? I can picture myself sitting on the balcony wrapped up in a nice, warm blanket, sipping on a hot beverage while watching the amazing scenery and wildlife.
