The nine Celebrity Cruises’ ships now offering pickleball include two Edge Series ships—Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Apex; plus Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Millennium, Celebrity Solstice, and Celebrity Summit.

Our recent Global Entry renewals took 48 hours after submission for approval (and no additional interview needed).

Nvm about grats.. I now see they are going up to $18 on 11/11/23. Our cruise leaves 11/10 so didn’t realize! (Our docs say $16). But would be $16 if cruise booked and prepay grats before 11/11!

Thought tips (non suite) were $16 pp pd for Royal. Figure WiFi on sale about $17-18 pd for one device at a time. And drinks as mentioned vary, but seem on sale $70-75+tips pp pd (but may be higher on shorter cruise)

The Beverage Package selection for 12 waters lists the size as 1-L in the description. At least for our upcoming Adventure cruise. No 12 waters in gift area, just the cooler option.

I’ve seen this too recently on Adventure. Check upgrading directly and make decision. Also, if open to Guaranteed cabin much more likely to be able to do (and move up is a guaranteed cabin!). And just check periodically, and act quickly if something unusual comes up, it can disappear fast! Just know ur limits and be patient, u may be rewarded. Depends on many factors…

I still see 15%..

Recently upgrade price was $20 pp pd. So, they’ve changed some pricing. We were lucky and had a flash sale of $10 pp pd + tips. Haven’t seen it cheaper, and only saw that price once. If u have any status, may want to call Captains Club and see what price might be…. May be cheaper or in addition to the 5% off. I know for Flash sales could not combine.

Wow. We went Apr 22 and saw MANY turtles. The snorkeling was great - tons to see…

We went on Expedition in 2022 and loved it. We were in Jr suite w balcony. Family was in Outside cabin. All enjoyed, but they mentioned after the week so many wet clothes and no fresh air it was a bit bit damp in their room. Loved the room of 48 passengers on ship made for 100. Various options on hikes/snorkels/zodiac rides. Food was good, service fantastic. I would say helps to be more active, love nature, and water, and it is my favorite vacation!

We made it through! Woken up several times by scraping the bottom overnight (as they predicted) but all went smoothly. Now we are on way to Nuremberg after nice time in Regensburg.

On way from Passau to Regensburg. Will be slow overnight due to water levels but they hope all goes well. Plan to stop b4 Regensburg and do buses for 45 min. Then hopefully boat goes very slowly and meets us there to continue on. We r happy if goes to plan. Would hate to switch ships but will go with flow…Onward to Amsterdam…

I would try to start w your free minutes, but just logon for a minute, then log off. Then try your package. Then hopefully you can toggle which you want to use going forward. That worked for me in Feb. I was told you need to log on to your free minutes first (just short time), so they don’t disappear.

Same price for us showing… $3.99. We previously bought last sale at 50% off $5. So believe not a mistake.

Depends on the pricing of future AI. Now, I always compare with and w/o AI. And the first thing I do is remove the tips from AI. Then say is $xx pp pd worth it for WIFI and Drinks? Compare those numbers, and thoughts from other cruises and lines too. Then decision.

Four. Up to $14 drink price.

That’s how it worked for us. It would then give you menu of both options. Once in package, you don’t need to log off until you want to use the free minutes. But definitely log off the free minutes when done or it will keep counting them down…

When you first go to log in… you should choose your free minutes. Just log in for a minute and then log off. Then going forward you should be able to choose between free minutes and the basic WiFi AI. If you do the Basic WiFi AI first, then the free minutes option disappears. We too had this happen and that is what we were told at the Internet help area. I got mine back and then could go back and forth the rest of the cruise. Not great IT functionality…

Yes, big difference between the two….

BUT…I’d advise to before using the AI minutes, log into the CC free minutes first (just for a minute), then log out of them. If u start by using the AI minutes, the other option totally disappears (at least it did in Feb 2023). This happened to us and that is what they told us at the Internet help area. They gave me back my CC option/minutes and I used them as you want to over the course of the cruise - logging in and out when wanting faster connection.

Or Solstice has TP to Australia w the French Polynesia. Then the next few go and end up at Hong Kong.. in 2024..

We booked the Edge Sept 2024 Vancouver to Hawaii on Nov 29, 2022. Not sure exactly when it opened. At that time we booked the last sunset Veranda. Not much left now on verandas in general and price higher. If you want AI (All Included) I’ve notice it seems to be cheaper at the beginning. Cruise might go down (but so far not on this sailing) but AI goes up…. Just some personal observations.

Cannot do Flash Sale and Captain’s Club discount. Although I read of someone doing CC discount on low WiFi, and Flash Sale on upgrade to premium which was about a $2 less per day. Know your pain. I was on hold for over 2 hours, got through and discussed a repricing and amounts would be as I thought. Then got disconnected before repricing was done. Called back the next day and waited and finally got it done for two cruises…

Our Tampa cruise this Feb had fog concerns at the end. Ended up we docked early maybe 9pm? And spent night at dock and did normal disembarkation in the morning. Only issue for some was the casino and stores had to close.

On the Constellation in mid Feb they had Prime Rib. But later in the 11 night cruise. (Now I did miss the rack of lamb… that wasn’t offered)
