Update.  Apparently my assignment to an obstructed view Verandah (while paying for a Ocean View Guarantee)was NOT the result of a Move-Up bid, but was the assignment I got.  Credit card was not charged an I got an updated bid offer that started at Concierge.  I'll stick with my Veranda and save the money!

We have a 6pm dining time, which is during the 5-7 happy hour.  Can HH drinks be ordered in the dining room during the Happy Hour?

Surely they can disembark in Barcelona and continue COVID protocols in a hotel……even at there own expense and claim later from Celebrity or there Travel Insurance.

 

Wishing them a speedy recovery.

We were given the option to get off the ship in Barcelona. Were told Spain has no mandated quarantine so we can go ahead with our Barcelona hotel reservation.  I am quarantining with my husband who tested positive and is symptomatic. I tested negative but have not been tested since. My Vitals are normal but I have a headache. Our concern is testing requirements for our next cruise out of Copenhagen on May 15. Still. Waiting to hear when we will be "escorted" off the ship.

Why would SOME passengers then get to stay in their own cabins? I get the isolation, but inside rooms 24/7 are a bit much, don’t you think? 

I am also in quarantine time on the ship with my husband. I am not aware of anyone given a choice to stay in their room. I tested negative and was given a choice to stay in our room but elected to stay with hubby.  Lucki.y for us, it is only 2 notes. We a.ready had reservations in Barcelona so can finish quarantine there

Has RCCL still not released testing reqs for Europe cruises? Their site still says TBD basically. Anyone booked with April/May cruise hear from them? Also- I assume it’s fine, but will they accept Pcr tests taken in the US if the departure port is in Europe?

We are on Voyager, leaving out of Copenhagen on May 15.  Just received an e-mail from RCL, indicating we needed a test within 2 days of embarking.     On April 18, we leave out of Tampa for a TA, arriving in Barcelona on May 3.  We have to have a test within ONE day of embarking in Tampa. 

All covid entry requirements have been lifted as of Feb 12, 2022

Voyager is currently sailing to Limassol and due to arrive on 25th February, however there are no cruises listed until April 15th from Barcelona. Does anyone know what's happening to this ship in from 25th February to 14th April?

I heard some kind of sewer upgrade.  We are on it May 15 out of Copenhagen

I am pretty sure the date to do that has passed.  I had a B2B2B in 2020 cancelled.  The deadline to request cash for one was Dec 31, 2020 and the other 2 was Dec 31 2021

Are there options for internet that do not involve unlimited day pass? We'll be on the Serenade. Thank you

thanks, everyone!

Can anyone tell me if there is a retractable clothesline in the shower on the Serenade? Thank you

Thank you. Do they have a per minute internet rate or only the unlimited daily rate?

Hello. We have always sailed with Celebrity and will be doing our first RC cruise on the Serenade later this month. Does Diamond status offer any discounts on laundry or internet? Thank you Sorry about the missed key strokes on "Diamond". Should have checked first

Is there a way to know, before boarding the ship, that your OBC has been credited to your account?

Does this restriction apply only to other credits or OBC provided by Celebrity? How about OBC provided by a TA?
