    Suite guests - concierge contact pre-cruise?

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    We are sailing on Constellation on 7/21 in a RS. I received an e-mail from the Shoreside Concierge on 7/4/18. It may have been a bit early as she indicated she would be going on vacation between 7/7 and 7/14.

     

    The shoreside concierge was very efficient in getting back to me taking care of the items I had arranged and some questions I had.

     

    If for some reason you don't hear from her you can contact:

    Concierge Desk at 1-877-290-5881 seven days a week between 7:00 am to 7:00 pm CST

    Thanks for posting the phone number! Ironically, I posted that I wasn't worried about being contacted, but were leaving this Sunday, 7/22 and no one had called or emailed yet! I called and the woman I spoke with was shocked no one had reached out yet, especially at less than a week out.

    - Babysitting is only for 12 month+, so you're right there (though we got VERY lucky and got the babysitting for every night except Day 1, which we were told is very unusual --- useless for you this trip, but good to know for future haha)

     

    -They open up a room in the FunFactory (kids club) for most of the day for open-play - adult must stay with child, but its a nice open space with a bunch of toys and things to play with. IIRC, it was only closed from 12-2.

     

    -In that play-space, they allow you to "check out" any of the toys your child likes. They had a ton of cups/shovels/buckets, so we checked out a few on Day 2, and returned them on Day 7. No charge, just had to return before end-of-cruise to avoid some fee.

     

    -We brought our son a blow-up pool/tub, and he used the toys we checked out while playing in that. We brought the tub up to the Pool deck, plopped it next to our loungers, and filled it with water from the pool showers. He was happy for a bit just playing in that. We also set it up on the Veranda a few times and used the shower to fill it up. Good purchase with that, you will love having it.

     

    -We had the Family Veranda -- HIGHLY SUGGEST IN THE FUTURE FOR YOU -- though I'm sure the RS will be equally spacious/divided. The Family Veranda though, has a massive balcony and door dividing the living room/bedroom area.

     

    -Re: favorite spots, our son is pretty social, so he was happy to just be anywhere near people/action. We brought him to the Sunset Bar every morning for breakfast and evening for (his) dinner. During the day, we made sure to keep him on his nap schedule and brought him back to the room for those; usually I'd go back, put him down for nap, and relax on the balcony. Mid-way thru his nap, my wife would make her way back to the room (from the main pool, spa, solarium, etc) with a couple of drinks, and join me on the balcony until he woke up.

     

    Hope this helps -- if you have more specific questions or general thoughts on how we did things, feel free to ask.

     

    For reference, we drove down from Boston on the morning of Embarkation, so we "overpacked" knowing we wouldn't have to lug stuff around airports or anything. Even brought his own pack-n-play since we had no real "luggage constraints", and he slept 13 hrs a night (literally, every night...normally does 11-12 at home, so this was even better haha).

    So not to get too logistical, but with the baby pool on the pool deck, where did you dump the water? I'd assume back in the shower area like I saw on an older baby pool post, but the haters that came out of the woodwork were crazy! As if adults don't pee in the pool. Did you encounter many baby-haters onboard? Or do they just live online?

    Hi! We're planning to do the Summit to Bermuda with our then 8 month old in July! I know at that age babysitting isn't an option, but did they have any little kid activities? Were there places that you seemed to hang out more than others - both on and off the ship? How much beach gear did you end up bringing/using? I picked up a little bucket and shovel combo, and I convinced my husband to splurge for an RS, so I got the baby a mini blow up pool for the balcony [emoji4] I'm sure I'm way over doing it, but first family vacation with first baby, I'm sure that's expected lol.
