If you can't get the points for the past cruises, Celebrity also has a program that gives spouses the same status as long as their sailing together. I had cruised on Celebrity a few times before I met my husband, so after we booked our upcoming cruise I called the Captain's Club number and asked for him to get the partner match. Basically, anyone two people living at the same address can share the higher person's status. He's never been on a Celebrity Ship, but his boarding pass for next month's cruise already lists him as Elite.

I was in Bali in March (but not on a cruise). The e-visa was very easy, so we did that. At the airport, the line to purchase the entry visa also moved very, very quickly. If Celebrity doesn't arrange the visa - they did back when they had St. Petersburg sailings - I'd recommend the e-visa just for your peace of mind, but you can easily purchase it on arrival.

Thank you so much for sharing your adventure - and for checking out the GoPro for me! Your posts have made me even more excited to be on the infinity in August! Safe travels home!
