Nope and Nope....

jtutak, you are sailing on a dream Itinerary of ours! Jim, Have a great time, Please Take lots of pictures and warn them “We will be sailing her in OCTOBER!!â€Â<]

Welcome home, Glad your experience was "educational". And welcome to the ongoing discussion of cruiseline squeezing nickels and dimes, I know the shock of realization that the cruise price isn't the only expense, but when you sit down and "crunch" the numbers it still comes back as a good "all inclusive" value. I have been a long time advocate of firming up cruise prices to include tips, and extras like sodas and specialty coffees. Paying one price makes it easier, and then if a crew member deserved extra it would definitely mean more to them than a "pre-arranged" tip. Cary177, remember just because they hand you a piece of paper that says you "should "tip a certain amount in no way means YOU HAVE GOT to pay that amount, you can always adjust it to meet the standard of service that was delivered. However by your own account that wasn’t an issue, glad you was treated so wonderful, and once again welcome back to reality!

Oh wow, That indeed is interesting jacketwatch, it appears that the summit is having some personnel problems. I do know that Celebrity is in the process of revamping that whole " end of the ..." thing, because of all the complaints. We have the Millennium scheduled for October, and Jtutak will sail her this week so we will wait and see how he reacts to service.. I certainly hope it is an isolated case It could be very well true that the summit does have some personnel problems.

Hi Clayzeegirl, Welcome to Cruise Crazies!! Hope to see you posting soon!

Hi Welcome to Cruise Crazies!! Hope to see you posting soon!

You guys are just too crazie... are you sure you guys arent part "Joey" :grin: Thanks for all you guys do on this board its good to see the enthusiasm

and I still think I'd like to do South America..... especially if I could go during Carnival....it's really amazing how many places we dont think of until we here the word Cruiseship :wink: or is cruise ship two words? :grin:

Hi JACKEL1618 Welcome to Cruise Crazies!! Hope to see you posting soon!

You got that right "Son" :grin:

Thanks guys you had basically confirmed my earlier findings.. I just wondered if taxis were availible at the pier 24hrs day when ships are in... are taxis metered or do you negotiate the price. The problem is on our return flight, it maybe a situation where we leave before Celebritys transfer option begins. :shocked:

I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on the ease or difficulty in commuting from the pier in Venice to the Airport.

you must be feeling better I was thinking hot orb not vessel :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: good one

Thanks guys that is a wonderful site
