Travel insurance is important 

I don't think so if you have Chase Sapphire Reserve.

@LeafsFanNL enjoying your TR!

I am obsessed with E-class after 2 weeks on the Edge last summer & a week on the Apex this spring.

Beyond tentatively booked for February.

 

LOL Iove that you thing Sunset bar doesn't have shade. 

You should see Edge/Apex with NO shade AT ALL.

This looks amazing comparatively!

I like you.Beyond is one of th best ship Celebrity ever has.

It will be hard for me to cruise on Solstices and Millennium Class ships again.

Question for long time Celebrity cruisers. I just booked a 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise on Beyond for Jan. 23 taking advantage of this promo  

 

What do you thing the likelihood of this or a similar promotion reappearing next year?

 

The current promo only covers cruise thru the end of March `23 so so. I can only afford to cruise once every 9 -10 months so was thinking of booking a Fall `23 transatlantic cruise if they run similar promo next year. I know it's dependent on their load counts next year but did they run these types of Solo promo's pre-Covid?

Because of the popularity of transatlantic cruise there is no solo supplement charge.

When I look at it, I see nothing about S1 or S2.  I don't want the S1.  Maybe I'll watch and wait until that is gone.  Then put a bid on an S2.  It's a Med cruise so maybe not rough but since my partner is sensitive I want to avoid that location.

The corner cabins are listed as S1 and they do have a few S2 at aft. on Solstice class ship.

As I mention you can move to S1 or lower category S2 on mid ship if there are cabins available.

Here is a Sky Suite on deck 6, ship is Reflection.  Yes there are some Sky Suite on deck 12 midship which is what I'd prefer.  But I don't want to take a chance and get this Deck 6 AFT Sky Suite.

 

 

Thats the S1 cabin.Its higher category than S2 at mid ship.

You can request a mid ship S2 or S1 if it is available. 

Would be nice if we can get together and have a drink from 6:00-7:00pm at World Class Bar as the bar is always empty.at that happy hours.

There are a few that posted here was at my party at the bridge.😀

I disagree that all Zeniths know each other.  I'm Zenith and on my last few sailings there were other Zeniths onboard. I only know this because the shoreside concierge gave me this information.  I have no clue as to their identities.  I could have been sitting next to one of them in the theater for all I know!!

 

When I am in the Retreat Lounge, not only do I not know if the other folks in there are suite occupants, Zenith members or Blue Chip members, I personally don't care. 

Yes on my last transatlantic on Reflection.if there wasn't the Zenith's party organized by the officers, I don't think I have met the rest of the Zeniths onboard.

I am not tech expert, all i need to know is TURN OFF the devices and then turn that back ON.

I think your cruise documents will show the time you are looking for.  When I saw your arrival time, I was immediately concerned for you.  Things are pretty chaotic at airports lately.  If the 1pm arrival time can't be changed.  I would,  

 

1 Bring carry ons only.  Baggage delays were pretty long in  Barcelona in late June.  

2 Take a taxi directly to the port.  It should be about a 20-30 minute trip.

Ok Thanks.

Hi,

 

I wish I could help, but I am not sure of the answer to your question.

What I mean is when the check in counter close.

I will landing  in Barcelona at 1:00pm the same day as sailing.

Hi there.

 

I was fortunate enough to be on the Beyond from July 2nd to the 11. I’ve been back a while and have had some time to reflect.  
 

In this review, I might mention comparisons to a July 2019 seven night cruise on the Infinity from Civitivecchia to Venice.
 

Pre cruise.  
 

We arrived in Barcelona five days before departure. Upon arrival, we met the other two members of our party,  another couple who are related to us. We really liked Barcelona and almost didn’t want to leave.

 

next.. day 1 departure 

You did the online check in would you please tell me what is the latest check in time?

I will also embark in Barcelone in September.

Hello,

 

I find on my Xpress Pass after ELITE this: PEARL. I my memories I have the idea that this might be the code for the drinking package. But it can`t be. Because on the Xpress Pass from my DW, this "Code" isn´t printed. Or myby they forgot. But we have exact the same package.

 

Does anyone know what PEARL means?

 

Maybe it is the code who has to pay at the end of the cruise 😉

Its the tier you earned from the Casino.

It’s still June. The TAs are months away. Much can change between now and then. What would you have Celebrity do now, based on pure speculation?   
 

 

Thats funny thinking.

Would you not to pick up the $40.00 bills that is laying on the floor if you see it?

IMHO If every couple cruise as Solo there will be less passenger  on the ship  and there will be less crews needed and there will be less covid cases on the ship.

I'm annoyed. I was looking at some of these trips and messaged Celebrity to see when the good deals were set to end. They told me they had no end date and that it was based on availability. Now every trip itinerary I try isn't available anymore. I was planning to book something this weekend. 

Is anyone else having any luck?

I am a solo cruiser.It all depend popularity of the sailing.I have to pay double for my transatlantic cruise and I get a good deal for next year sailing with no supplement charge.

Without repeated customers the stock will go down more.

Lisa Lutoff- Perlo  wake up the cruise line can't depend on the revenues from the suite guests  to keep alive.

Does this apply if you're in a Suite and want to self-disembark or only if you set your luggage out the night before? TIA! First time in a suite in Celebrity in December--looking so forward to it!

Self disembark are not allowed to leave luggages outside the door even you are suite guess.

You need to carry with you when you leave the next morning.

Disembarkation in Europe is not the same as Caribbean cruises.

Before  the cruise end Celebrity needs to know what time you need to disembark of course the latest is 9:30 if I am correct.

Getting Covid booster is not Covid Proof.

Don't they understand?

Here's mine, if it helps. I am the only one who drinks soda and "good" coffee, so only one classic non-alcoholic drinks package needed. We would share one internet package if we end up needing it. We are both Elite, so there are some savings there.

When I think of Celebrity targeting younger passengers... it makes me think of when I worked on Lilt Home Permanents back in the day. I described our demographic curve as a toothpaste tube...where we were losing on the back end and not replenishing on the front..or younger end.. guess I was right..since I haven't seen home permanents on store shelves in decades.... While we older folks make up a large percentage of their loyal users...they need to generate more younger people and the earlier they can get them ..the more likely they will hold on to them as customers for a long time. Since Celebrity has not gone the flow rider, ice skating more active way of Royal..which is interesting to families...it makes sense that Celebrity target DINKs (double income no kids). Like an earlier poster.. I don't mind..I expect that...I just love the visuals of the ships. Now I will say that I prefer the S class ..with its old fashioned libraries and card rooms.... mostly I like these areas and additional public spaces to use when I don't want to sit in the sun or go to an activity.... sometimes it is nice just to sit and read someplace outside the cabin and not in the middle of everything.. I too miss the 14 day itineraries..but like the 10-12 days ... love getting to the southern caribbean.

Knowing your customer demographics are important.Celebrity gathers older clientele.There is no need to worry about those younger passengers.they will come automatically as they age.Remember people get old.

Cruise line  will never make profit if their cabins are  not filled.

Have you pay attention to the cruise lines stock market lately?

One of the analyst predicted Carnival will go to ZERO.

I agree with everything you said, but…

I disagree with your thought that those of us who are not X's target (under 40's) are less valuable financially. Overall, our age group has more disposable income and more free time available to fill cabins than those who are still working full time jobs.

Do I care that X doesn’t represent us in their advertising? Not one bit. When I watch their ads on TV, I'm not looking at the impeccably dressed Models, I'm looking at their ships and wishing I was back on board. 😉

I totally agree with you most Zeniths have more disposable and more time available to cruise.

Celebrity has nothing to gain by banning Zeniths from the Retreat Lounge.They have a very generous offered by Celebrity. so far.

I do understand if they banned during the Covid pandemic but now after 2 years it seem we are force to live with it.

As a business owner before I strongly believe  business will never succeed with repeated customers.

The recent promotion of Celebrity will prove me right.

Hey I should thanks to the new direction of Celebrity heading.

I used to pay 12000 for a Celebrity suite and now is only half of that.

I still think removing Zeniths from the Retreat is not a good move and its totally base of no reason and will never bring them and gains.
