All balconies on Aloha and Baja Deck. Caribbean deck are half covered half uncovered.  That's for standard balcony cabins.

Mimis, only the Sweet 16 aft on Emerald.

Otherwise, they're all completely uncovered.

 

Thank you reedprinces.  Can you explain which cabins are the Sweet 16 aft on Emerald?  Does this mean the minis on Dolphin Deck mid aft are uncovered?

Can someone please advise which balcony cabins and mini suites have a covered balcony?

Can anyone advise if the lifeboats interfere with the forward and aft views for Cabin 5218?

I have tried looking at pictures, but I can't be certain if any of the pools have steps into the pool versus only straight up and down ladders.

Can someone help me?

The Celebrity give Veterans a discount like Princess?

Does anyone know when Carnival will release 2024 dates for Norfolk to Bermuda Cruises?

I am concerned about the water temperature for the washers in the self service laundry.  Is it only very hot water that fills the machines?

How long does it take to walk through the city center of Puerto Plata?

Who do I contact to request boarding assistance in Fort Lauderdale?

TIA

On our previous visits to Half Moon Cay, lounge chairs in the shade were plentiful immediately after going down the steps and turning left.  Has that changed?  I am looking at photos and videos and there seem to be clamshells where the loungers under the trees once were.

Thank you so much for this!

Both on a 7 day cruise!

Oh!  I thought only one night on a 7day cruise.

So it could be either one?

Tonight is a "dressy night".   We will be having a Tuxedo Junction at 7pm in the Ocean Bar.    The Gala Menu tonight is what you have come to see on Gala Nights on shorter cruises.   There is nothing on here that you don't regularly see on daily menus.   

 

 

The Baked Rigatoni is good, but it is available from room service:

If you have wine left in a bottle you buy in the dining room, can you take it back to your cabin?

We have the same situation and we booked a tour with Barcelona Day Tours.  They will pick us up at the airport take us on a tour and then drop us off at our hotel in the afternoon.

Thank you.  We are considering the same idea, but I am afraid I will be too tired to enjoy the tour.  Will you be sharing the tour?

We booked a flight that will arrive in Barcelona the day before embarkation.  The arrival time is 9 a.m. and the check in time for the hotel is 3 p.m.  We are wondering if we should book a flight that would arrive later in the day.  Would appreciate any feedback.

Don't know your mobility level or how current this guide is, but perhaps you will find  some helpful info for your day in Naples.

I think I would pick one or two things of interest in Naples, then use either public transit or taxis to get there and back to save your energy.

 

Naples has two "grand" museums, the Archaeology museum and Capodimonte art museum.  There are a couple of dozen smaller museums as well, including the Cappella Sansevero, where you find the amazing Veiled Christ:  Museo Cappella Sansevero - Museo Cappella Sansevero (museosansevero.it)

 

My personal favorite museum in Naples is the Certosa di San Martino, up on the hill overlooking the port.  It's relatively small so it can be seen in a couple of hours.  Part of the reason I like it so much is the eclectic collection, everything from paintings to ships and carriages as well as an amazing group of presipi, the nativity scenes that Naples is famous for. 

 

Another favorite spot for me is the cloisters at Santa Chiara, an oasis of peace and quiet in the middle of the city.  English - Chiostro di Santa Chiara (monasterodisantachiara.it)

Thank you so much!

What kinds of things interest you?  Naples has a bit of everything.

I have limited mobility and I am not certain what I would be interested in.  Suggestions are greatly appreciated.  I did think about the ferry to Capri.  My husband plans to go to Pompeii on our first port stop there.

Is it doable to get off the ship in Naples and walk around on your own?  Maybe get some lunch?
