The 850 was glorious since they seemed to be adequately staffed for the much bigger crowd on the preceeding 5 night. Service was truly amazing with about 1:1 crew:pax ratio. They were looking for ways to make our experience more memorable, and definitely succeeding!

Yes, we were there on the 'restart' cruise, too. Dropped to just ~850 pax for our 10 nt that followed.

Just marking this thread to track...

For the 31 October Reflection westbound TA, about 26% of cabins remain available for booking at the moment, which is all you can say when doing mock bookings on the X site. Still 10 or so SS available, which is surprising for a TA.

OP is recalling M class "bubble" benches, I would imagine.

You say "Celebrities provided WiFi?" but don't specify which grade of service. Had 'streaming' service on Connie, Nov 2021. Was able to fully utilize WhatsApp. Based on other posts here, sounds like the 'surf' level is a non-starter for photos.

You were talking 'to the ship', not X's servers. Those of us on dry land were SOL for most of the day.

No idea how this will play on the screen once pasted, but here is the last *published* list: Ugh. Not well. Here's an Excel directly. Can't get rid of the original grid. Bath Products.xlsx

Surely did for the majority of us. Several threads here on the topic. App login attempts produced a 'come back later' message.

Ditto. It's not that much paper. Covers everything from transport to the airport to transport home, and each step on between, including copies of Celebrity invoices.

You have time for passport renewal. That said, here's what you can do without one: U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same port in the U.S.) will be able to enter or depart the country with proof of citizenship, such as a government-issued birth certificate and laminated government issued picture ID, denoting photo, name and date of birth. A U.S. citizen under the age of 16 will be able to present either an original or notarized or certified copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad issues by DOS, or Certificate of Naturalization issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Note: Baptismal papers and hospital certificates of birth are not acceptable. Voter registration cards or Social Security cards are not considered proof of citizenship.

Hope those boarding yesterday had screen shots of their Xpress passes while the X site was down for the day. I wouldn't arrive at a dock depending upon connection to any web site unless I was in the mood for a potential 5 yard delay of game penalty.

Indeed. It finally seems to know who I am, but not why I might be visiting.

The apple cobbler is to die for!

It isn't just their authentication that's jacked ... I go to look at a cruise, it shows cabins available across the range and their prices (except where it shows SOLD OUT for some cruises) and keep getting this for all of them when attempting to book: If someone at corporate hasn't used the expression "conditions of employment" in discussions with their CTO in the last 24 hours, they certainly should have.

Only if you finish your supper! 😁

Yes, we've sat on the bench once or twice. Is any of your experience specific to Reflection? No question that the pax:tables ratio is higher there than any other S class.

Ditto, though we're about to take our first Reflection cruise where there are a lot more suites and same size Luminae, and with suites heavily booked. Will be interesting to see how that goes.

It's logins that are impossible at this time.

You're not alone. Seems RCG's entire system crapped out this a.m.

I've always read that while laminar air flow along the sides might provide a minor improvement at the relatively slow typical speed of a cruise ship, that hydrodynamics play a vastly (orders of magnitude) larger role vs aerodynamics when it comes to fuel efficiency, and as aerodynamics go, that the CD of the frontal cross-section is the bigger factor there.
