  1. wow. There's something that needs to be fixed. NOW. We were on her a week ago. That was our last Celebrity cruise.
  2. yes there should . Always has been. We never got robes either after asking our attendent twice. See my review of our Summit cruise last week. posted under reviews.
  3. we were on the week before. Total disaster. I thought we had bad service on deck 2. No washcloths or handtowels or kleenex until day 2. The last night steward took away the handwowels and washcloths leaving only 2 used towels for us at 8pm. We're off Celebrity for life. And this was our 21 cruise.
  4. What other platforms????
  5. No problems since yesterday. So hopefully your trip will be a good one. !
  6. We always put on airplane mode when we start moving. We got a text from AT&T. Although a passenger cautioned we may have been hacked via unsecured Celebrity WiFI
  7. Last on Celebrity in Dec. No international charges ever before this cruise.
  8. They were impossible to reach. Not until the 2nd day did a rep contact us.
  9. We got hit with $200 international charges thru AT&T even though we were in port docked in Miami. Then they cut off our phones. Apparently T-mobile & What’s App are ok….. we finally got the WIFi package to communicate with family at home but it’s just another money grab. 20 cruises we never experienced not texting or calling in a Us port. Never.
  10. And someone Please turn off the nasty musak in the stateroom halls. Totally unnecessary and intrusive.
  11. I highly doubt that. It’s the engines.
  12. The smell outside on deck 4 is sewage. We’re on deck 2. I’m totally pissed at the Captain who has gone AWOL , just a random voice saying ‘we’re working on it; see you around the ship’. My last sailing ever . Cruising is too different these days.
  13. Celebrity will and is doing nothing so far to compensate. The Summit will just get nasty reviews. Good luck future cruisers on this ship. Wouldn’t trust it.
  14. We’re on summit as well. If this was my 1st cruise, I’d be off cruising forever. It’s our 21st. First skipped port, first power outage, first water problems. Captain has been mum about any communication. Highly disappointed in him. He is the voice of the ship & he gets a ‘no confidence’ from me. He should retrain with Captain Kirk of the Silhouette. He is an amazing Captain. Fully competent.
  15. yes, we paid in full . And yes, they have told us the same thing--you've paid the price you've paid. It's lousy paying early but paying more. thanks all.
  16. Can we stay on topic and not involve US cities where guns are omnipotent.
  17. Booked on a Celebrity cruise, paid in full. Today I see the price has dropped $700 for same cabin category. Called Celebrity and she messed with our reservation wanting to charge us $1900+ then acted like she did us a big favor by getting us back to our paid cost. No explaination given or courtesy. I'm sort of mad about this.
  18. exactly. I'm familiar w/Chicago. I live there.
  19. The U.S. State Department on Friday increased its advisory level for would-be travelers to the Bahamas, urging "increased caution," as the nation's capital has recorded 18 murders this year. The elevation to Level 2 follows a security alert posted Wednesday by the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, which expressed concern that Americans might be victimized by gang violence in the capital. "Murders have occurred at all hours including in broad daylight on the streets," the embassy said in its alert. "Retaliatory gang violence has been the primary motive in 2024 murders." U.S. travelers were advised to be especially cautious in Nassau, use caution when out at night anywhere in the Bahamas, "keep a low profile," be aware of the surroundings, don't resist if confronted by robbers, and have and review security plans. The State Department added that short-term vacation rentals have the added concern of often lacking the kind of private security present at hotels. It said Nassau's gang crime is not fenced out of areas frequented by tourists. "Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas," it said in its travel advisory.
  20. We are sailing from Miami to Bahamas April1-6. Government is saying there have been 18 murders since the 1st of the year and are warning travelers to Nassau to be aware. and also to be aware of unregulated water excursion risks. Is anyone else concerned?
  21. we were also on this cruise. Booked a cabin on 3. we had the same one on Soltice in January and it was blissfully quiet. Not this cruise. Loud DJ in foyer and dance nights . I love having a window in the cabin which on one particular morning, the waves were hitting our deck. Scary but fascinating. We got stuck with anytime dining which was laughable, Vincent (a matire de) would not give us the same table for 2 at 5:15 for more then 2 days. After that we were still seated in the same section with Kristofer as our waiter. Food was good, beef being the way to go, Prime rib the 1st night was terrific. One night we ate at Sushi on 5 (very affordable) and the Lawn Grill. Cafeteria was jammed the last two seadays making me want to avoid people at all costs after that. Captain Kirk was very visable on this cruise. The $18 per day gratuities and the addition 20% added on each drink was enough for us not to tip on top. Disembarkation was a mess at the pier 29. Horrible. But Ft Lauderdale airport was even worse.......it was a refuge camp especially at Delta. All in all a good cruise but probably our last on Celebrity, This made #20 and things have definaltely changed for the worse.
  22. my husband is a teacher, he will need to be grading papers in Dec. aboard the QM2 transAtlantic. purchase day by day or a weekly platinum?
  23. We had to cancel because of positive pre board test. We had the trailers insurance so got a full refund.
  24. well thanks. still confusing. We're in Iowa too. Happy Sailing.
  25. Call Cunard--they will email you your booking itinerary including dining time. Such a hassle. Cunard also needs a phone app...
