If you have a reservation for 6,8 or whatever in specialty you’ll all be seated together. MDR is the only place where you’ll need to check in each night and give cabin numbers and names. Again, much easier for one person to do this than drag the whole group. Each time my husband went to check in for the group, he couldn't just give a number of people, he was asked who was dining.

We had a group of 8 on Eclipse (Dec 2022) upon boarding we all went to the MDR to be sure our reservations were linked. Each evening we would meet up at Cellar Masters or Martini bar and one from the group would check us in with the hostess and get a pager.

The check in person needed the names and cabin number of those dining. After about 3 nights (11 night cruise) we had the same table and servers but also dined later. Since you already know times and who will be dining where and when you’re a step ahead 😆 perhaps can make a reservation when you board.

If I remember correctly Mercury was Century Class. I remember the Mercury, it had an escalator. The 4 ships were the Century, Mercury, Horizon, and Zenith.

Galaxy was also C class. Century had an Escalator.

I think Horizon and Zenith were The “class” prior to C.

Thank you. If I recall Uber has a separate pick up area at Pier 91. Do you know if that applies to Uber Black as well?

Looking for recommendations for car service from the Pier to SEA, not Uber/Lyft or taxi!

Thanks

Looking forward to following along, we join Summit in LA to Vancouver then in Sept do the E Bound PC. Haven’t been on Summit for almost 10 years back when Captain Kate was at the helm!

Did one 7 day spring break cruise 8-10 years ago, we avoided the pool deck which was where most of the drunk young people were so didn’t impact us too much!  Have not done a spring or 7 day cruise since! If Feb works, go then!

Have they given more information? Is the drink over the limit or if classic perhaps not included? Surely there are more details? 

Tryng to stay on top of all this, am I reading correctly that SS once again have the dedicated butler removed after saying they are bringing them back? 
 

We generally fly from YVR around noon. We collect our bags in the terminal and catch a taxi, usually arrive at the airport by 9ish

We did Uber once, won’t  do it again, flat rate taxi in the terminal was easy and convenient. 

I would chose an OV guarantee over an inside especially with so many sea days. I prefer some view vs no view! Once assigned and based on availability you can always ask to have your cabin switched within the same category.

Have you sailed in an inside before? If you have and don’t mind the lack of natural light, 8214 should be quiet.

Hi Lovecrusin. I am still in touch with Tuggers but she has not cruised in many years. Good people!

Ahh thanks so much for letting me know. 

We have friends disembarking after what looks like an amazing Antarctica trip. Funny, when she told me they were on Eclipse, I automatically thought Celebrity since Eclipse is in the same region.

I look forward to reading about your adventure and am happy you’re taking us all along.

What an awful experience.

Use the QR code in the daily to comment and ask for the hotel director to contact you. Are you a Captains Club member? Go to the host onboard and ask them to have the HD contact you.

You are very generous not asking for compensation, heck people want OBC if their cabin curtains are torn or the AC goes out! If nothing else the clothing should be laundered and perhaps some OBC for the trauma and time that you have spent dealing with this.

I hope they aren't charging you for the the medical.

It was very confusing calling the retreat host for something, and having the stateroom attendant show up. I was wanting the butler or retreat concierge to handle something for me, not me annoying the already overworked attendant. 

Exactly! We were in a SS on Eclipse, we didn't meet the head butler, but the assistant housekeeping manager stopped by a few times. Any requests to him were passed on the stateroom attendant/host. Felt bad for him, he was just back from vacation and getting into the swing of things.

Hi, that is not me and we did not have the same name. They have us confused.

My error. Tuggers was Gail.

Bermuda got me thinking about her!

Hi, my screen name? Been this way for years(and years)......I have been on CC for 20 years....I have used my name for maybe all of them but 1. When I first logged in I think I used my initials but I asked the moderator to change it.

Who was asking about me?

I changed cruiselines in 2017.

Tuggers? Guess a different Lois.

Hi stranger🙂it has been 7 years since I sailed on X. I just booked for the May 26th Bermuda cruise and got a fabulous price on a sky suite and that is even for a solo. It would be great to see you again!

Lois who previously went by another screen name?

You were mentioned recently by a couple of us who wondered what happened to you. We met on Horizon going to Bermuda and several cruises after.

All of us W Coast folks want Pacific coastal or Mexican Riviera cruises and when they have them they don't seem to sell well. In my experience lots of availability less than 60 days out. 

Our first cruise was on Horizon. A few years later we were lucky enough to cruise to Bermuda (her last summer) in one of the balcony cabins they added.

Loved the Martini bar, back before martinis were popular!

We have done 2 independent excursions with Nativeway watersports in GC. Both times a great experience and back to the dock in plenty of time.

Our experience with overnights (4 with a similar itinerary to yours) is the tenders do run 24/7 less frequently overnight. You may have a 30-45 min wait.

Deja Vu…didn't this happen 5-6 years ago as well?

So now its BYO beach ball?

Thanks for the response.  Is she just not posting anymore?

I have no idea! I hope someone knows more than we do.

We cruised with Gail a couple of times including Horizon last summer in Bermuda.

I think of her occasionally, she seemed to be one of the original Live posters.
