Great review. We are on Apex in a week, really looking forward to it.

Wear your tux, look and feel fabulous, and let the other 1400 or so men feel out of place.

@Club ElevenThat is exactly what I do!!

Please join the well dressed minority.

Pictures show an extra bed as an upper (in the ceiling). There is also a sofa, which I am pretty sure pulls out into a bed.

Bon Voyage!

New rule seems to be "if YOU can carry them on, you can bring them".

No more cases with luggage tags for the room stewards to schlep to your room. 😀

Yes they do.

Bon voyage!

While we are talking pet peeves....

a dinning room must be a place to make noise,

while

a dining room is a place to have a meal 😉

You mean I cannot get them to use Dom in my free mimosa at the Tuscan Elite Breakfast? 😉

I thought that Florida State was playing Liberty for the national championship!?! 🤔

It's listed under Onboard Activities. It shows as Private Karaoke Party, Celebrations Lounge, Movie Night Deluxe or Ultimate Golf and Sports Simulator. 

Sounds like Dave and Busters comes to Celebrity!

On Tuesday, December 5, Celebrity opens new bookings for 2025-2026 cruises to

Caribbean, Bermuda, Iceland/Canada/New England and South America.

Are you planning on booking opening week, or perhaps waiting a few weeks until

"wave season"?

When will the best deals be available? The best rooms?

My list includes a free cruise on Carnival and NCL, done them once and never again.

Gee, we have the same list!

Just checked out the video and there ARE sandwiches in Al Bacio. They are pre-made, and share the case with the pastries. There appeared to be 3 different sandwiches. I'm sure they are served as is, like the pastries, so should not slow down service.

Nice to see Celebrity trying something new.

Currently on the Celebrity website:

Canada / Bermuda

Boston / New Jersey

June - Sept 2024

Eclipse is sailing every week. First to Bermuda. Then to Canada. Am i missing something???

@Jeremiah1212

Any idea how I can find which are the "selected sailings?.

Never got this email.

Thanks

Is the daily schedule of events still provided in printed form as well as the menus?  Or do you have the inconvenience of having to haul your phone around with you?

Events printed daily, left in your cabin each night.

Bon voyage!

That is Beef Wellington. Not sure they serve it anymore on Celebrity (for free).

That is not beef wellington  which is a filet. It is beef sirlion en croute. It is available at no extra charge nightly in the mdrs on the edge class. (Normandie exclusive. But available in all 4 mdrs on Edge class)

Infinite verandahs on Celebrity are neither infinite nor verandahs!

 We spend most of our free time reading on the balcony. Losing the loungers on the SV is probably the last straw for us on Celebrity. 
With all the recent changes, I feel that Celebrity just doesn’t want us anymore. Sadly, it’s probably time to move on.

We feel exactly the same.  We have one more cruise in an SV, then moving on  starting with HAL.

Seems like we are now 

being punished for not liking the absurd IV.    

I still wear a tux or dinner jacket. Why? Because my wife likes to dress up for dinner, and I do it for her.

Yes...and your luggage tags will also be marked with PRIORITY in a yellow box.

Thank You!

If you have priority boarding (Pinnacle Suite, Neptune Suite, 4 Star, 5 Star or Club Orange),

it that printed on your boarding pass?

If this is true I’m going to have to increase my daily alcohol training for my June 2024 cruise. I was in training for 10 alcohol drinks a day. 

It is always good to put in extra training anyway, just to keep the elbow in tip top condition!

Sure. The cruise line is making choices and people are reasonable to not like them. But I am pointing out the negative turn of this board and the way some things just seem to be harped to death. People are upset, but do we really need 15 pages of comments to complain about $2 cookies? People are allowed to complain, but are we not allowed to ask us to be better? Nobody has to listen to me and my feelings wont be hurt, but I may just stop coming here cause I come here to dream about my next vacation and not to be demoralized by constant complaining.

Well said. With you 100%. Leaving Cruise Critic until this board is under control again.

There is way too much negativity here. And... some of the leaders of these attacks on Celebrity still, according to their own signature, have over 70 days still booked with Celebrity. Seems odd....

Since HAL PCCs seem to be like magicians in some ways, just wondering if I  can book a cruise using a PCC and then transfer it to a TA for extra benefits?

TIA

Me too! I understand some HAL ships have smoke free casinos, but don't know which ones.
