EXPLORER OF THE SEA---There were 780 kids on board (Nov.4th) out of New
Jersey.No school that week. We had no idea.. I actually enjoy
kids,except when they run wild like street gangs. About 40-50 kids were
out of hand .Jamming elevators,putting mustard on railings,disrupting

We have been notified that our outside cabin booked on the Celebrity
Constellation Transatlantic Cruise in April has been upgraded to a deluxe
balcony!  First time that has happened to us!  Thanks Lori!!!

What transportation is available to Port Everglades if we fly into Miami?
What would the cost be?  Is there a shuttle?
I know this has been covered in the past, but I didn't need to
know then.  :-)

Does anyone have experience with portable oxygen concentrators
on a cruise ship?  I have someone who is on oxygen bottles and
is interested in a cruise, but they aren't too sure about storing
40 bottles of oxygen in their cabin for the duration of the cruise.

It has been a very long time since I have had to be at dinner at a
specific time.  We are going to take a HAL cruise next month.  How
does it work?  
Does everyone line up at the door like at the Boston Marathon and then

Does anybody have any suggestions for local tour companies in Puerto
Montt, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, and Puerto Madryn for an upcoming
Celebrity cruise. I tend to avoid the shore excursions sold on ship if
I can.

We have previously used Travel Guard. Our travel agent now recommends
Access America. He seemed to imply that there might be some problems
with Travel Guard since the takeover. Looking at www.insuremytrip.com
and Travel Guard products seem to be running slightly less expensive

Hi ..
Does this vessel has internet access in the staterooms?
Thanks,
Bobt

Can anyone please tell me how you purchase the card for unlimited soft
drinks?
TIA

I just seen the NCL Dawn on the news, but I missed the story!!! What
happened??

From the kroooz-cams page, it appears that the Norwegian Dawn stayed
over night at the Passenger Ship Terminal here in NYC.  Is she just
getting back on schedule after her propulsion problems last week, or
is something else going on?

Perhaps I've been spoiled with "good" websites.  That is, website where
I can actually conduct business, obtain information or otherwise learn
more about a product or service. I have to say that the Royal Caribbean
website is one of the worst I've come across.

I received this press release from Holland America  and thought it
would be of interest.  If you have missed any of my news' postings,
they are available on my web site.  
Best regards,

Anybody had any experience with a balcony cabin on the back of a ship
(actually facing backwards). The balcony is a little bigger so we are
thinking of switching from the side of the ship. Pro & Cons ????
Thanks
