Thanks, so if our port arrival time is later can we ask it to be moved eariler?
Also what is "first night discount"?

No, your arrival time is what it is. Check in ASAP and you should be able to get an earlier time.

"First-night discount" is just that: in the cruise planner, you'll see the specialty restaurants offer a discount for booking on the first night of the cruise. Other discounts are few and far between.

You'll check in 45 days in advance. That will get you a port arrival time, when you'll have a quick passport check before you board when the ship is ready (and priority guests have boarded).

• We dined in Lawn Club Grill last week and enjoyed it. Booked with the first night discount in the cruise planner and used some OBC.

It's for people who want to visit the Kennedy Space Center or one of the Orlando theme parks (yes, I think going to Orlando is a waste of time, too, but...).

A 1-9 port stop makes both of those ideas less than ideal. KSC needs a day, and it closes at 5 or 6. Orlando needs an hour on each end for travel, so that leaves maybe 6 hours for a theme park--also not enough time.

I checked in this morning about one hour after check in opened for my cruise. I got a 10 a.m. boarding time which is the earliest I've ever boarded a cruise ship. Very happy with the time and the check-in process on Celebrity. It is better than NCL and MSC's which is my most frequent cruise providers.

Just remember it's a check-in time. You won't be boarding at 10 a.m.

Here is the official flyer including FAQs on the subject published by Celebrity: link

 

Too bad Jim's proofreading post didn't result in the apostrophe being added here. 😉

You can take small bags on the Skyride.

The details of the excursion should show what's included. The entrance fee is $7. We paid $40 for two chairs and an umbrella last week (on our own).

I always check in on the website using my laptop.

If on an Alaskan cruise departing from Seattle or Vancouver, check in will be Pacific Time, not Alaska Time (one hour behind).

The port runs a shuttle between Pier 29 and the Midport garage. 

Otherwise, there is a flat taxi fare for between terminals. I saw it on the sign yesterday when we disembarked -- I think it's $8.

That's a new one on me...I was under the impression that *only* your sea pass card could be used, as @Jim_Iain states.

I've used a credit card in a shop in the past. Apex, if memory serves.

Probably, but no one knows for sure. Head over to your Roll Call and see if anyone's posted about passengers in his age group.

Have you asked Celebrity?

What are pedal pushers? Some type of athletic wear?

I've been on Reflection for 8 days (getting off tomorrow 😢) and haven't seen a single photographer.

Just a note: the last night of the cruise isn't usually Evening Chic because people are packing. It's normal dress requirements, which include no shorts.

Disembarkation info received today on Reflection.

Note that there's a difference between being out of your cabin and off the ship.

P.S. No one's waiting in line for an hour. When our number is called, we get in line with that group and wait maybe 5 minutes to get scanned off the ship and head for our luggage.

It is only for disembarkation?  Not for embarkation?  Thank you.

You have to be out of your cabin by 8 am on debarkation morning. The Elite lounge will give you a place to sit after that if you have a later luggage tag number.

On Reflection now and have a few, mostly minor, complaints. We've also sailed Silhouette with few complaints. I'd sail either ship again.

On Reflection now. In port from 8-6. Today's live music, in assorted locations at assorted times: 

Resident DJ

Arjam

Acoustic Duo Time Machine

Solo guitarist Ge Luz

can any one tell me how the valet parking works at this pier. Do they park your car for you then bring it back to you on departure date. I never tried this before and it would be a lot easier if they do because of our luggage and we both use walkers.

Thank you

Yes. Pull up, and they'll whisk the car away and then bring it up for you.

Typical veranda = actual veranda

Infinite veranda = a window that opens (not an actual veranda)

There's a parking garage shuttle from the Palm Garage to Terminal 29 (and the other way) because there's no parking at 29.

Suite passengers and Zenith Captain's Club (loyalty level) board when they desire.

They arrive when they desire. They board when the ship is cleared to board new passengers.

There are four MDRs; if there's a wait at one, head to another.

Shampoo conversation: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2996981-hair-dryers-and-shampoo

Probably 29.
