Our booking for our thirteenth cruise was done seamlessly through Vacations to Go. Booking shore excursions and amenities, prior to the sailing, through the Celebrity site was frustrating. On each occasion one was required to enter the same information to gain access. I don’t understand why the booking number wouldn’t have been sufficient. I found the website layout cumbersome and confusing. We were able to locate the docking location through the internet and thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to Amsterdam.
