The country involved makes a huge difference….the OP will be in Greece

No way to put in a “standing order”.  It must be done one day at a time.

No Jim here🤔😳😀

Yes, many are —— Princess, Royal Caribbean to name two

Closed loop Caribbean so birth cert and Driving License are sufficient to cruise

So is there any benefit to using a TA for my next cruise?  Because I understand that TAs are no longer giving OBC but Celebrity is doing that?

 

How much OBC are they giving?  Is it per day or does it depend on the cost?

Not all travel agents give it but some do

Do you have an original birth certificate (not photocopy.) that plus a US driving license will be sufficient

Just skip that part.  You can take care of it in person at the pier.

They never did

Would they charge us for that?  For my own budgeting I’d want to know and pay my share if you will.

Whether or not, they charge you for it, you should generously tip the Butler who serves it.

Sometimes the pier staff DO enforce the arrival times.  They work for the port, not Celebrity, and they watch for traffic flow and overcrowding in the terminal and they can, and do, enforce the arrival appointments when needed.

That might not work in Southampton or Barcelona

Constellation has a guest lecturer now talking about using DNA to solve murders and other mysteries and he is quite interesting.  Sailing out of Tampa, western Caribbean.

I think you might be in one of the rooms that was added after the ship was built and in-service from many years. Those rooms are newer than the other rooms and are equipped differently.

Not to discount anyone else’s experience but I will just state again that Special Needs at Sea will not rent you a scooter that will not fit in your cabin as they deliver and leave the scooter in your cabin.  I rented a scooter from them that easily fit in a non accessible cabin on Celebrity Equinox.

I was in one of the far forward cabins on Silhouette in December, I think it was 8106, where there is a sharp turn to get into the stateroom and the scooter couldn’t really do it. They did not have the scooter in my state room— When I arrived, it was in the hallway adjacent.  Since  it was out of the way and there was a plug right there, after consulting with my steward that is where I parked it during that whole cruise.  

All of this makes me wonder, what about e-bikes?  Could you bring one of them?

As the stockholder who wants to see the ships sail full, I hope somebody likes them, but I sure don’t👎🏻

Anyone know how long it takes to get the captain points for this webinar? TIA

They were awarded in mid January. If you don’t have yours now, you will need to telephone Captains Club.

The kids club seems to be a success

If I remember correctly, a number of years ago the drinks were unlimited in the Concierge lounge during cocktail hours, which was something like 5 to 8:30.  Then it changed to four a day for Diamond, six a day for Pinnacle and the drinks ordered during the cocktail hours counted against those numbers.  That’s how it is now.  Oh, and Diamond Plus get five a day.

Tuscan is where you would go to wait for your number to be called. It’s not for walkoffs.  Don’t go there if you are trying to be the first people off the ship.

No one in the office will go out on a limb to answer your question, Sanjay

Does that explain what the TDC9 code means?

Maybe just wait to see if they come through with putting it in writing.  How long has it been since you were promised that?  When is the cruise?

Ostia Antica is just a little bit out of the way and worth a visit
