I've seen that it's midnight in the time zone of the departure port.

I would instantly fire any agent who tried to foist insurance on me. This is when it pays to have a good credit card.

You could also simply decline the insurance.

We only cruise once a year and seeing the Sheriff’s boat come down the canal at a high rate of speed with lights flashing and stop the other craft was a first for me. 

Usually it's the Coast Guard with the guy at the gun in the front of the boat. 😉

On our way with an assist from local law enforcement. Guessing someone got to close to us as we were leaving Ft. Lauderdale. 

That happens every day when the ships leave.

Bon voyage!

DAV plates are not enough to get free parking. You must have a vehicle that a handicap modified vehicle such as hand controls and other things. Handicap plates are not enough anymore 

According to this page, a DV plate is sufficient.

How about curmudgeon or termagant, depending on gender? Why do iget the feeling that you are the angry neighbour' who stands on the porch yelling at everyone to get off your lawn?

No, that'd be me. I'm looking for the word for you. 🙂

Per the Celebrity website:

*Solarium kid’s hours available from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm on select itineraries – Antarctica, Alaska, and the Baltics.

 

So, this affects only 3 out of all of Celebrity's  itineraries, for 2 hours a day. If you are such a misopaedist that you can't cope with this, then I'd recommend choosing a different cruise line to cruise those places.

I shall wear that word (although with the American spelling) like a badge of honor! 😂

Do you know the word for "people who hate parents who think their kids belong everywhere"? If I could capture that in a single word, my day will have been made. 

P.S. It affects more than just those itineraries.

But if the rules state that there ARE family hours, then they aren't breaking any rules, are they? 2 hours a day, when most adults are preparing for dinner, is not too much to ask, IMO.

The website says "the adults-only Solarium pool." I therefore expect only adults to be in that space, and there's no reason for parents to expect children to be allowed to swim at all.

I have no issue with it, especially since it is a small part of the day and adults have plenty of time to swim outside kids hours.  Moreover, the kids prices are not cheap on Celebrity and it is unfair if they could not enjoy a swim inside.

As my father says, "Life isn't fair." Parents should be able to tell their children, "Sorry, that pool/area is for adults. We're not going to break the rules."

yes I ask this on Disney ships all the time.  I want some fun too. 

Disney has open house hours in the clubs; you are welcome then.

I am repeating myself, but I spend the late afternoon/early evening in the Solarium precisely because few people are there. I'm a hard pass on changing it at any hour or any itinerary for children.

Yes, I have read all of this but it doesn’t mention anything about an airport stop. 

Then I'm guessing there isn't one. That's the info about the trolley.

According to this website, Jetty Park opens at 7 a.m.

and what Terminal services Silhouette?

Depends if an E-class ship is also in port that day. The E-class ships get Terminal 25. If the Silhouette is the second Celebrity ship that day, it'll probably be at Terminal 29.

Same here. We have the beverage package so this is not really an 'event' then, correct?

Correct.

I am confused by the responses.

 

Is it the .Midport garage  right across from ships OR the one near  Terminal 25 ( which we dislike)  ?  Our Silho cruise is a short cruise , so we will not be burdened with much luggage..like we were for Ascent.. For that we pd  $ 20 per day and had a wonderful.porter take everything right to our car. A godsend!    

As noted in the info in the link, the Palm Garage is for Terminals 19, 21, 25, 26, and 29.

You'll park in the Palm Garage, formerly the Midport garage, for $20/night. There are handicapped spots, but they might fill up.

The pool in the Solarium on the M-class ships is a thalassotherapy pool.

From a consumer experience point of view that is not good.  If one books 2 Celebrity cruises on different classes of ships we could make Anytime dinner reservations before boarding on one of them yet could not on a different ship?  That is enough to end my relationship with Celebrity.

Okay. 🤷 But the E-class ships have an entirely different dining room setup, with 4 MDRs. I've been on Apex twice and never had to wait for a table. Reservations aren't necessary, which will mean I continue my relationship with Celebrity. I don't want to plan what time I am going to eat 9 months in advance.

I'm pretty sure it includes the thermal spas on the e class ships. 

It doesn't. 

"The Spa multi-use discount applies to most treatments; excludes MedSpa and retail. No complimentary access to Thermal Suite on Edge Class ships. Persian Garden pass only available on Millennium and Solstice Class ships while ship is in port."

Edge-class ships do not have the Persian Garden, so you can't use that benefit on Edge.

The "security line" is the area where Celebrity personnel "ding" you off the ship one last time. There is usually a line waiting to exit so if in the Retreat you bypass that line and are taken right to the sea pass scanner. Depending on the terminal you might just use facial recognition so there is no immigration line to stand in.

You'll have to wait for the facial recognition scanner with everyone else, though. Does it move quickly? Sure. But once you're off the ship, there is no priority.
