Thank you

Someone mentioned doing the muster drill on the app?  We haven’t cruised since before Covid and I remember everyone jamming into one area for that?  

Thank you

Have you checked the S class cabin sticky?  EM

No I haven’t.  Where is that?

we have never sailed on Eclipse, only Summit so we are not familiar with cabins.  What do think of deck 8 midship veranda?  8245

What do you think of a veranda cabin on Deck 8 midship?  I have cruised six times on Summit to Bermuda, but she is not sailing to Bermuda in 2024.  
   Also, should I consider a consierge veranda?

I was the one who started this, and yes, she is the only one going to Bermuda.  Reluctantly, I booked after our experience.  I am hoping perhaps this tread will get the message to manage to take some action for this season and next.  Hopefully they can replace and clean up this ship where possible. I know that monies are an issue but not replacing soiled and damaged items are not good.  
 

I have photos but reluctantly will not post.  During our first three days our balcony was painted, balcony furniture was replace, and we got a new fabric sofa replacing our leather or leather like sofa.  The sheer curtail with foot long holes/rips were left in place.  The carpeting also was left intact and the badly scratched table remained. . In my opinion, the room steward should have reported most of this.  We also books dogged eared and wrinkled left from previous sailing.  I can tell you that a hotel manger and the concierge rep did all they could to resolve are issues. 
 

AgainI will say, we had an awesome trip In spite of our cabin disappointment.  As I have said before, we sail and take trips for destinations.  We had six superb excursions some celebrity and some not.

Are you booked for a 2024 cruise to Bermuda on Eclipse?  If you are, may I ask what deck and stateroom type?  We sailed on Summit to Bermuda 5 years in a row. Stateroom on deck 7 veranda midship, which was perfect for us.  

Summit will not be going to Bermuda in 2024.  Eclipse is.  I was getting ready to book it but am now concerned based on some of the comments I’ve read here about her condition.

Mid ship deck 7 or 8 would be comparable.

Thank you

In the past we have only sailed on Summit. We had a veranda on the 7th deck, about mid ship (7147) what would be comparable in location on Eclypse.  

Did I misread something or is Summit not going to Bermuda June 2024.  I think it said Eclipse?  
if so, tell me about how they compare.  

I didn’t use a TA. I booked online on the Celebrity site.  I tried every number I had at about 1am and the recording stiff said there was a 30 minute wait. 
   I called again early this morning from both phones and had them on speaker phone while I did a few things.  Finally after a 45 minute wait I spoke to someone and was able to cancel and will be getting my deposit back.  
  Thanks for your advice.

Log into your account, manage reservation, pay balance. You should see a link on that page to cancel your cruise.

I tried that. The cancel “button” is there but it doesn’t do anything?  
   I’ve spent hours on hold today.  I’ll try again early in the morning.  I have to cancel by 3/5.

Does anyone here have the Captains Club phone number?  

Thanks for all the replies.

I have been trying to cancel my upcoming cruise.  I have tried by phone several times today and keep getting a recording saying there’s a minimum of 30 minute wait.  Is there a way to cancel on line?  I booked on line.  

Thank you.  

Did you happen to use the gym while on Summit?  I’m referring to the weight lifting area, treadmills, not the spa nor the classes.  I read somewhere here that they limit the number of people allowed into this area at a time.  I called and the woman I spoke to said that they do, so,e times?    My husband is a real gym rat and the idea of not being able to work out on the cruise is enough to cancel.

Thank you.

Charles. Do we need a Bermuda Arrival card as mentioned in the link you provided?  We are sailing on Celebrity Summit.

Did you happen to go to the gym (fitness center)?  This is very important to my husband.  We sailed on Summit 6 years in a row prior to Covid.  This June will be our first time back and we’re wondering if it’s changed much?  

This may be the wrong place to ask but what do you think about Cruise Care?  I thinking anything can happen, especially when you pay in full so far in advance?  

We have done the Bermuda cruise on Summit 6 years in a row. And loved it.  We skipped a few due to Covid concerns.  We are now booked for this June.

for those who have sailed on Summit recently, what changes have you seen?  How are they handling the buffet?  Still self serve? And the fitness center.  Is it still open?

probably will avoid buffets or try to be the first one on line.  I like the idea of the staff serving the food.  Avoids those who eat on line, then lick their fingers then touch another utentil.

That’s disgusting, but I’ve seen it done.  Thanks for your input.

It is back to self-service and no to gloves.

Thanks. That’s a bit disappointing.

Nothing has changed from before. You can still workout on your own. Fleetwide. 

Thank you.  That will make my DH very happy.
