... maybe they were just adhering to the addage.... Thou shall not kill...

yes, i am definitely going to have to go shopping!!! Far be it from me to tell you wjhta you have and need... but seriously I wouldnt go over board...Look at the examples of evening wear from the Celebrity web site...

When I was on the Mercury our MaitreD said in response to their guests they would drop informal nights and ENFORCE the no jeans and other issue more stringently..

Debbie I would say 98% adhere to the dress codes..

looking over your shoulder at what the possibilities could have been just inside the door there..... i can just go.... WHEW!!!!

Personally I don't understand it either...

Steve Steve Steve.. The good guys the guys in The white hat so to speak...only kill as a last resort!! didn't you know that pardner

I just couldnt see them pulling into a port "knowing" there was an active outbreak... to me that would be scandelous...

Maybe they were just giving the NE a chance to miss them... I hope so... I wish them well especially with the run out of B'More.. The quiet elegance is what i too like .. having tea or wine in the cova and listening to music... nothing is more relaxing.. I may have 3 pots a tea a day on a sea day...

MaryLou.. what is it about celebrity that you noticed and that you are looking forward to again?...

A captain of an Italian cruise ship has given a dramatic account of how his crew fended off a pirate attack near the coast of Somalia. Capt Ciro Pinto said six pirates in a speedboat approached his Melody ship and opened fire, but then fled after private security men fired in the air. He said his crew also sprayed water on the gunmen when they tried to climb aboard using a ladder. No-one was hurt in Saturday's incident. Some 1,500 people were on the vessel. Capt Pinto said that the pirates tried to hijack his ship late on Saturday, about 290km (180 miles) north of Victoria in the Seychelles. "One white small boat with six people on board approached the port left side of the ship and started shooting." The captain said the pirates fired some 200 rounds of shots on the vessel. His said "our security started shooting in the air... and also we started spraying some water" to beat off the attackers. Capt Pinto said the pirates were forced to give up after about five minutes of shooting and a high-speed chase. Tabitha Nicholson was on board the ship during the attack and said the situation was "pretty dramatic". "She noted that there were lots of passengers on deck watching it unfold and they even took action themselves by throwing chairs overboard, trying to hit the pirates," Samantha said. "She said there were lots of bullet holes in the ship but that they were not serious enough to force it to return to port." The head of the Italy's MSC Cruises, which owns the Meloday, credited the captain for his "cool-headed" handling of the incident. The ship was on a cruise from South Africa to Italy. It was now headed as scheduled for the Jordanian port of Aqaba.

Andrea....Personally I hope its not a cruise of a life time! .. but the next cruise in a lifetime love of the sea!

Cruise line cruise contracts clearly state that the itinerary booked by the guest may change at any time solely at the discretion of the line.... With the current global outbreak of Swine flu do you think the cruise line will begin to make last minute changes to their itineraries based on "activity" CDC reports.. and how would that make you feel?

did you go somewhere...? don't hurt my feelings, OK??? I would never intentionally do that...... i hope u know that..
