You can also ask for a second paper straw and switch out mid drink.

I haven’t done it, but on my recent Summit sailing the daily paper announced which was the last day it was possible.  I don’t know if they were offering discounts.

I like to add a good splash to orange juice at breakfast.

The only exception to the statements above is in Aqua Class.  Water is delivered to your room daily as part of your AQ benefits.

Someone wearing a tshirt or hat from your hometown or favorite team.  Can’t be a member of your group.

Good morning!  If you own RCL stock would you mind sharing what you think about your investment and whether you would recommend someone else purchase now.  If you would recommend it, what would you think is a good price point to buy.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

On Summit the steam and sauna rooms in the Persian Gardens are open.  Included in Aqua Class, fee for some others.

I don’t think I understand your question.  Did you book an accessible cabin?  Do you need an accommodation?

One of my favorite cruise memories is sailing on Infinity on a repositioning cruise to Hawaii.  I was sailing solo and sat at a table for 10 on the late seating.  By the 11th night together my table mates seemed like friends and we were usually the last to leave the MDR.  Someone asked what night they would be serving chocolate soufflé.  We were told it was no longer on the menu.  On the next to the last night our waiter brought out a large chocolate soufflé for the table.  The chef even came out to see if we like it, and to be thanked and congratulated.  It was delicious and made me feel special and privileged!

I hope you will come back on and let us know how you liked the items you chose.  Bon voyage!

Does anyone know what the upcharge would be for Pellegrino or Perrier?  I will have the AI Classic, but will order sparkling water from time to time.

Does anyone know if they still deliver water to the stateroom?  Is it possible to request sparking water?

Does Celebrity typically have Special sales in late November on cruise fares, excursions or beverage packages?  Thanks for any insight.

I sailed on a Royal Caribbean cruise out of Bayonne and it was the first cruise I have taken where almost everyone on board was from near the home port.  Other cruises the passengers have been from everywhere.

Thanks for the review!  Did you see any passengers dancing in the evenings?

Misguy, bon voyage!  I would be interested in knowing if you see people dancing on Summit.  We are not very good, but we like to dance a bit in the evenings.  Thanks!

My best tip is to wear things more than once.  On warm weather cruises  I like to wear a sundress to dinner with jewelry, a shawl or shrug, and dress shoes.  Next day I wear the same dress with flip flops and a simple or fun necklace.  One dress, two outfits!

I booked a cruise a few days ago.  It shows up in the Cruise Planner, but does not reflect the AI amenities.  I looked back at the paperwork from my TA and it says that amenities may take up to 10 days to be reflected on the website or app.  I will check back after the 10 days are up to see about possibly upgrading the drink package.  I think I read that it is only $9 pppd to upgrade.  I will do the math to see if it works.  Good luck to you!

I did this cruise on Infinity in 2004.  It was wonderful!  Each day it grew warmer.  We had some 25 hour days to accomplish the time change.  There were lectures and classes, time to read.  Best cruise ever!

Would it work to book a “friend”, who might be a no-show on sail day?

I think you can take a bottle of water from any source anywhere on the ship.  I have frequently ordered a large bottle of Pelegríno with dinner, taken the remainder to the the theater or my cabin, etc.  I have taken a water bottle that I carried on to the pool, etc.  Enjoy your cruise! 

Thanks so much for posting this!

Celebrity doesn’t separate the pups from trip points. The way I figured out how many total pups I’ve earned was to search my email for a captain’s club email dated after my last cruise. I then subtracted that amount from my current total. I know I’m missing lots of pup points, but there’s no way for me to determine what specifically is missing since I didn’t keep my own record of what I participated in and whether the points were actually awarded.

Kathy, I did the same and realized I have gained 35 points!  I didn’t do any of the social media activities, but most of the other ones.  Good deal!

Instead of a nightlight I bring a couple of battery operated tea light candles.  One for the bathroom and one for the table on the balcony, which we only use sometimes.

i love my over the door shoe organizer.  Sunglasses, flip flops, mini binoculars, aloe, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, scarves, etc., all in one handy spot.

I like the magnet hooks for hanging our straw sun hats.

Thanks for the responses and photos.  We booked it!
