Malaga and Cartagena ports are quite walkable and do on your own. Barcelona port is distance from main points of interest. With crowds that target main attractions, recommend either Hop on Hop off bus if never been there to get a good grasp of area and pick your points of interest you desire to explore. There are good independent companies like Spain Day tours and Liv Tours that have great options for Spain. Majority businesses take card for payment.

Just did Bermuda in May and no issues whatsoever. Left on time and roughly 1 hr til under bridge. It does scenic around Statue of Liberty as you sail south. We did see MSC and NCL sail in distance. Enjoy your cruise

Looks like amazing weather. One would assume there was time for shopping at designer stores... What was name of this tour thru Liv Tours? Being private is it flat fee or per person? How was crowds and traffic from Port?

Gonna need another cruise just to recover and purely relax without leaving the suite

Hopefully everyone has recovered from the crud sickness Ready for next inheritance sailing

Well just other day mention of Delta food in the blog and there was story where a Delta flight from Detroit to Amsterdam served spoiled food and some passengers got sick. I can't even imagine. Definitely eat in the new lounge.

6p was early and 830p was dinner seatings on last cruise unless did mytime

Just did Delta flight and food came out cold with ice crystals.... Better plan to indulge in the lounge before boarding

Should we ask how mom will handle rough seas... There goes more funds from the inheritance Let us know how the casino is and hope you didn't forget to bring winning color of panties

Time for a lava flow and some ranger cookies How are the crowds?

Be prepared for it to be quite expensive getting to Bayonne from NYC. Average ride can easily be anywhere from $95+ with Uber. Ubers/Lyft are known for price gauge and coming over bridge they love to tack extra fees there could be issue because some drivers cancel last minute. It's probably better to plan a schedule car service plus you never know what other events are in NYC that timeframe.

None of us really are the brightest but more the coolest living life to the fullest making rewarding memories and best part all of us get to come for the ride each time someone does a live blog as if we are right there for all the shenanigans and laughs day to day. We can be who we are suite snobs or not staying in suites down to the drenches going to Coastal Kitchen or over to the WJ but at end of day it's being on ship and allowing us all to come along as you live blog. Couldn't ask for a better community of connections. We have gained great friendships and grew together. Now think we can all venture together retirement years sailing the seas. We are just one big happy family seeing so many milestones from each person's family....let's hope the freeloaders can carry the torch of blogging their cruise travels as they set venture into adult life Hope everyone is packed for a fun filled European vacation and safe travels across the pond

Europe is well worth adventure across the pond. That is one thing, Europe itineraries are so port intensive that you are on a floating hotel because you want to capture and see everything since it's not a cheap flight and logistics to get there. You don't need all the bells and whistles with ship but as long you have Ranger Cookies with proper bottled water you should be good since majority time eating some great food in port. Who knows maybe after this sailing you will be more into WJ ...... I will admit WJ on Europe sailings has more options and tons of seafood. After a long day in port you might just want to crash anyways and relax

No mention of tattoos yet? Seems piercings and tattoos are what kids do these days Guess our life as a teenager would be considered dull to teenagers today Somehow i ended up with tattoo after a night of ....

Hmm Sabrina has her own Oasis Lagoon island to enjoy while being in dry dock to read all the blogs. Hopefully it's warm enough there to enjoy since it's HOT and humid here

Had similar experience with Effy on Celebrity and when told sales guy he was clearly nickel and diming me over his BS speech. Didn't like words NO thank you and replied to me i don't care if he makes his quota to support his family. If you could have seen his pale face turn red with such snippy remarks and attitude. Honestly was worst than being at the dealership looking for a car. What happened to days of girls just window shopping Believe me i am major Effy collector just like Sabrina and only will buy from certain sales people at Effy.

It would be interesting just one time if you would blog your NCL cruise for us to get some inside of their brand. Way rates continue to skyrocket, if we all want to continue to sail high seas, one has to weigh all options or stay in dry dock way too long YOLO book NCL Joy for August

Isn't ship going into dry dock soon? Looks like needs some TLC. I have sailing booked later this year and need to prepare for smaller ship options..... Does ship seem crowded? Let us know statistics from Top Tier event

To think Sabrina didn't even add to her agenda, her live blog which should be hitting the press release being a month out from sailing..... The suspense waits.... I truly enjoy sailing Celebrity. Much more relaxed vibe and you can actually venture into the buffet to grab a snack without the usual craziness on way to Sunset Bar. There was tons of fresh seafood during lunchtime and Ranger Cookies. Can't forget the Cafe for afternoon sweets and tea. Just got back from a Bermuda sailing and hitting high seas again in a few weeks....

What a color name for the nail polish. Can't wait to see pictures of nails holding a Have a great time

Lord if that rate isn't crazy.... Might as well book NCL Joy instead whether Batman likes it or not...he might huff and puff NOW but once on the ship he will be singing a different tune with those cocktails and hopefully packed underwear

Any spotting of the Amish again? Some people need etiquette cruise 101 even on Celebrity... Passed thru Ocean Buffet to the bar and a brawl over crazies hoarding the cocktail shrimps like their last dying meal. Surprised forks weren't flying with the raised voices of others over a snotty lady cutting the line to basically take the entire pan... Chair patrol is in full force and they are mad when come back and poof go to guest services to retrieve their belongings

Batman hold up his bargain and whip up the cocktail like he said? Is there confirmation, he forgot anything? Maybe modernized Amish since on cruise. Think this is only beginning of the shenanigans.

Day before go to lounge to let Concierge know you need tender ticket. You will be able to pick up directly from Concierge night before. Your ticket will be first group off with ship excursions.

Well while at Martini bar a person griped couldn't bring a steamer onboard so instead steamed up bathroom so badly, alarms went off bridge called and here came security to their cabin...... I thoroughly enjoy sailing Celebrity. As you see shenanigans happens over here as well
