Never mind.

The OP's questions have been answered here: Duplicate posts.

Great itinerary.

"without having to spend the night in Fort Lauderdale."

I'm not sure what your question is. Are you worried about taking resources from residents who need them? 🤔 We've got so many tourists in FL at any given time that two more aren't going to matter. Enjoy your cruise.

He can drop off you, the scooter, and your luggage at the curb near the entry and then park the car. Depending on the terminal, he may be parking at a garage across the street.

Concierge on Celebrity is not like Concierge on DCL. You get lunch in the MDR on boarding day (maybe--reports are that sometimes it's during the cruise), extra Captain's Club points, and on some ships, a slightly larger cabin. That's about it. Yes, there's a Concierge team, but they work limited hours and are available to more than just Concierge cabin travelers. BTW, most "veranda" cabins on Beyond are infinite verandas: not a veranda but a window that opens.

I did a Google map for the distance. Not sure how long you're staying pre- and post-cruise, but there are more interesting places to stay.

I'm not sure why I'd expect menus for 2024 to be available in 2023. Given the changes Celebrity is making, the menus may change several times before your cruise.

Yes.

Probably Port Arrival Time.

You'll need a passport if you are sent by plane to Nassau to catch up with the ship. I'd book flights a day early.

Right. Exit the cabin with the sleeping spouse and enter the cabin with the companions. Of course, the IV means no one is sitting "out" anyway.

Parking at Port Everglades is $15/night. You can drop your luggage, then park, or park and take the luggage to the drop-off spot. It's a bit of a hike to the drop-off spot, though, so drop it before you park if you have a lot of bags and/or mobility issues.

The safety reference seems to be in relation to moving the drydock to a later date.

I think you have a couple of date typos, but regardless, this is good news for me! 😀 Thanks for posting.

The two seatings have been eliminated on the Edge-class ships but not on the computer system. Equinox is a Solstice-class and should still have two seatings in addition to open.

Question #2: yes.

I asked for a callback in April and am still waiting.

Have you thought about renting a car? I wouldn't want to spend Saturday at an airport hotel. Rent a car, drive to a beach area hotel, turn the car in on Sunday morning. For 2, the cruise line's transport back to the airport is a good option.

I'd be less worried about the cabins not being together and more irritated that one cabin was downgraded. Someone is due a refund and/or some OBC. I'd keep on Celebrity about this.

Fortunately, the dining rooms have a/c.

I've sailed HAL (first cruise was on that line, and I was in my 30s), and they also have a mix of ages on shorter cruises, much like Celebrity. Why everyone is angry that younger people are being denigrated but then have no problem doing the same to older people and/or other cruise lines is beyond me. I've never had a bad cruise. I don't care how old the other passengers are, and I don't care if they care how old I am.

Keep in mind (as you noted) that as others are moved up, additional suites might become available. Make the bid only if you'd be happy with any cabin in the MU category.

I decided to book a HAL cruise for December after not sailing that line in 10 years. And I'm close to booking a Princess cruise for next May. While I am sure those lines have also had cutbacks, I want to check them out myself to compare.
