Very well done.

You should be able to use your OBC to book now and get the discount.

I would drive south to Ft. Lauderdale if given the choice.

Hope everything goes well.🚢 Have a great time 👍

I would contact the HAL resolution department in Seattle. Let them know your concerns, I have found them to be quite helpful.

What about a pick up for a group of 4 people ( one of which is handicapped ) and their luggage after a cruise to go to Delray Beach ? Any suggestions on the best option for this situation ?

I did not book our cruise through Costco, so I will try calling them . When I tried to book online , the premium looked quite reasonable. Thanks again.

To obtain a Cover More policy did you have to purchase your cruise from Costco Travel ?

I pay online. No issues to this point, we have cruised HAL about 5 times in 20 years.

17 th street in Fort Lauderdale is very close to Port Everglades, many hotels and restaurants there.

Your TA should provide you with a copy of your cruise statement showing all the pertinent information concerning your cruise. Drink package, WiFi cabin # etc. Sometimes Celebrity runs a sale on Premium Drink package upgrades, your TA should be on top of that , but if you notice it on Celebrity website and or cruise critic let your TA know asap. You can always upgrade at the going rate before or onboard. Once again, if you tell your TA what you have in mind to celebrate they can give you a few options. Finally , once onboard go see the maitre d , see if he can help you secure an earlier dining time. I have found they do their best to accommodate you if possible. Good luck 🍀. Hope you all have a great cruise 🚢 Happy Birthday to your Mom.

That waiting a long time for a drink is a direct result of all the prepaid drink packages. The drinks and tips have already been paid for so from Celebrity’s position, why rush on the delivery? There used to be servers every 10 feet all over the ship asking if you wanted a drink.

I have yet to sail on an edge class ship , my wife and I enjoy walking on the promenade deck which is not an option on the edge class ships. That said we have cruised on the s class and m class on numerous occasions and very much enjoyed our cruises. Last but not least , there will be complaints from many folks consistently on these boards , However the name of the boards is “ cruise critic . “ 🤣

We sailed on Equinox in December of 2023. A few of the crew members told us Equinox would be doing a Trans Atlantic cruise in April of 2024 and then going into dry dock for 3 weeks.

Hi Jamie, Celebrity is a fairly good cruise line , unfortunately, like many other companies they are not offering as much of a quality experience as they once did. Blame covid , high interest rates ect.... it is what it is. That said, they still offer a pretty good product for the price , a lot of enjoyable things to do and pretty good food ( that is included in the cruise fare ). Hope you enjoy your cruise, only you will be able to determine if Celebrity works for you after you have taken a cruise with them.

No worries. 👍 All good.😎

Does anyone know which ship Captain Hook 🪝 will be on after his vacation ? 🤣🤣

My bad. I should have said all included.

It is no longer all inclusive. it is a basic drink package and basic WiFi. You may wish to wait for the features you want to go on sale and buy them separately. For instance a non alcoholic drink package…..etc.

Hope you have a great cruise 🚢

Thanks .

Unfortunate for sure. In 20 cruises lifetime, 6 on Celebrity, we had a horrible stateroom attendant one time . While it didn’t totally ruin our cruise , it sure made it less than memorable.

I agree with the original post. My instincts say that RCI knows the main clientele on Celebrity is not looking for the floating amusement park experience. ( Myself included ). There was an earlier time in life that many X cruisers would have enjoyed that experience, but no pun intended, that ship has sailed.

Hope things get better soon for you to enjoy the rest of the cruise 🚢.

Hi Everyone, Anyone who has TMobile as their cell service provider willing to share their experience when cruising on HAL Rotterdam ? Does the WiFi provide calls and or texts onboard when in airplane mode ? Thanks in advance for your replies .
