Lisa, I have no idea how many there were. The guest relations people kept refering to "the" concierge. The desk was in the main lobby and we saw the same gentleman there several times. Maybe he was overworked, but I am not used to a concierge using the word "can't". It probably is not indicative of celebrities usual service. This was our first cruise with this line. I hope your century cruise lives up to expectations

I would go without Ken, but not alone. I would have to go with friends or relatives. I'm not a very social person, so if I were to do a solo vacation, it would be to either a spa or a hotel near a huge library.

Hey guys, Just wanted to clarify... We had a great time on the cruise. The few negatives didn't ruin it for us. We enjoyed being together and relaxing with out the everyday business of working, hunting and gathering, and generally providing for others. We figured out that when it comes to places with ancient ruins, awesome museums and unbelievable architecture, we would prefer to just park ourselves in the middle of the city and stay a few weeks. It was funny... every night we would be saying to each other " why don't we just get a train to ( insert next port here) tomorrow and spend more time here in ( insert current port)" By the time we got to Rome, we were considering catching up to the ship in Venice. We are goofy like that. Oh.. I forgot another positive comment.... the sheets were not scratchy. I'm happy that we all had a bon voyage. :cool:

We take off tomorrow @ 3pm. I have yet to pack. See you all there!!!! :grin: :grin:

It's a good thing Ken is off to do all the work!! :grin: :grin: We will see you guys there!!!! The exitement builds......

Thanks for the weather report Joey :smiley: I just have to fit 6 more shifts into the next 4 days..... then relaxation.... :cool:

Thinking about a mid winter jaunt on the Celebration. Have never cruised Carnival. Any thoughts? How are the suites? Do they have nice amenities? I have heard that there are a lot of obstructed views (lifeboats). All input will be appreciated. Thanks.

I think I read in this thread about someone staying at the airport courtyard in Venice the night of the 9th. I think we may do that as well, our flight leaves @ 0635 on the 10th. It seems that getting from the ship to the airport that early will be a big hassle/stressor. Does anyone know how far it is from the ship to pzle. roma?

I'm right there with you Jackie. I was going to lose weight before this cruise but instead gained 7. aye caramba..... can i get back to the starting point before Barcelona? Will I have to purchase an extra seat on the plane?

Welcome Bob and Kirsten, we will see you there. Are you going to the get together @ Joey's hotel? Gail R- Here is the link to the costa brava web site- the Girona festival page. If it doesn't work just go to http://www.costabrava.org and search from there. Its the Sant Narcis Fair. http://en.costabrava.org/suggestions/detai...ABcADEANQA0AFwA :grin:

Hey guys. I just noticed that a suite guarantee is just a few dollars more than cc. what's up with that? are there some bad suites they can't sell or is this a real bargain? (2,999.00 pp)

Joey- Herculaneum or Paestum(sp?) plus the big museum.
