You just need a third one to get XXX (or tic-tac-toe).

For the win...

.

We ordered this from Amazon and have used it on many cruises.

My question is, would you consider adding another level between the top tiers? I.E. Elite Plus / Zenith and Diamond Plus / Pinnacle, there is such a vast gap between the last two levels you lose interest in gaining points because it is too big of a gap.

I loved this site and am also sad to see it gone.

Are they allowed? No. Have I brought it before? Yes, many times and never been bothered. I just pack it in my shave kit in my carry on. 

Note: Your results may vary. 😁😎

I've never understood the need to exhibit decorations on cabin doors,. This is not your home. Do these same people do this on hotel doors?

Just because "mom says" doesn't mean I will listen.....😎

Royal Caribbean sign in is messed up too.

We keep it simple....

Apparently they did, by walking over to Celebrity.

Um, not at all. I found it humorous that he thought that extra 5 inches made a difference. Before I retired a couple of months ago I was a "Essential Worker" for the electric utilities and flew weekly throughout the lockdown and then some. I have been on six cruises since the restart, all unmasked, and have had the vaccine along with two boosters. I am not worried in the least.

There is nothing negative about being prudent before you travel, fly or get on a cruise. We will be just as prudent before our 34 days of cruising and land trips in August in Italy and Greece. The biggest stressor was the test to fly home. We have only been flying in first and business class post Covid to avoid sitting next to strangers and have more space to help socially distance ourselves. I am 50/50 about the preboard testing as it may keep some asymptomatic people off the ship but who knows if it really makes any difference. I also suspect we will never fly again in coach seating as we have gotten so use to first and BC now.

I never knew that you couldn't catch Covid in First Class or Business Class! I am flying to Alaska to start my cruise tour tomorrow so I might have to upgrade to stay away from the diseased peasants.

250 people packed like sardines in a plane with  no masks, no tests, no incentive to be cautious for 10 hours.  Sounds like fun to me. 

You do you. Stay home, as for me, I am cruising.

From whom did you receive this information? Do you have personal experience? Which ship?
 

According to the Celebrity FAQ, they are still testing B2B pax. https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/faqs
 

I would love to see that change but thus far all I see is that some ships aren’t testing and some are. 

There have been many posts and threads stating differently.

Interesting. We’ll wear ours anyway. Our next cruise adventure is a b2b and we’re hoping to avoid testing positive between segments. 

They are no longer testing between cruises on a B2B.

If you don't care to open the window I would just book a Panoramic Oceanview. It is exactly the same cabin except the window does not open.

We sailed on her over Christmas and New Years, and it looked great. 

I have a B3B booked on the Infinity in July, and I booked 3114 because of that amazing big window! I was glad we could book it for all three cruises so we can unpack once and settle in for the 21 nights.

You need a negative Covid test result before getting on the cruise ship (has been required since 2021)

 

Bring  a couple of home tests along with you (which most folks do anyway)

We know this, we are talking about the land portion of the cruisetour.

I bought 100 shares when it bottomed and got in at $20.64.A lot of folk right here on CC thought I was crazy to buy it when I did. I have been on 6 cruises since the restart and have received $750 in OBC so far. I have 6 more cruises booked before the end of the year, another $600, so I think it will pay for itself rather easily.

We are leaving for our cruise tour next week and we received this email on JUNE 2nd!

Bring a test with you and take it onboard the day before disembarking. If you test positive, tell medical and now you become Celebrities problem.

We have used Park "N Go many times and it was great.  Contact them.  We just returned from an Equinox cruise and as opposed to $15 a night at the port, we paid $77 for the entire 9 nights.  They do have covered parking but not sure of the cost.  They shuttle you to the ship and back so I would check if they take you to the airport.  Worth a shot.

They go to the Airport as well as the Cruise port. 

I have used Park 'N Go for years without any problems. Also if you book online you get a nice discount. 

I had a similar problem and after weeks of getting the run around I went to the top and sent an email to the CEO, in less than an hour her assistant called and fixed the problem. I hated to bother her however, enough was enough.  lLutoff-Perlo@celebritycruises.com
