I always go via the Celebrity Cruises FB page. Providing it’s not a weekend I get an answer the same day. This works in UK, not sure if it does elsewhere.

Do you have an update on the Captain, as the chart says Left on 19Jan 24.

Use the CelebrityCruises cruises FB site. They are very quick ( providing it’s a week day).

We have Plus built into our fare, so won’t be tipping extra. I agree, coming from UK I consider the tipping culture a bribe.

My advice is to book now if there is availability, as they do get sold out. If there is a ‘Sale’ you can always go into your booking via Manage my Reservation, then History and cancel and rebook at the reduced price. I’ve done it frequently.

On another thread, someone mentioned that their husband could no longer be insured, as he is now over 80. Fortunately, our bank still insures my husband and I. We are 80&82. if they ever refuse us insurance , then we will be forced to stop cruising.

No, they have stopped the tips( (October2023). Its Wi Fi and drinks in All Included.

Isn’t there sugar in fruit ?

Nothing to do with Europe either.

As Celebrity have taken tips out of the All Included, we have chosen to transfer our next cruise to Princess, who have them included in their Premier package, which came with our booking.

A deposit never has been refundable in UK. We once moved our booking date for free, as we are Elite.

We always enjoy the ‘Beyond the Podium ‘ lectures. There are also quizzes, but we don’t take part in those.

D4. Balcony Booked very slightly less than 9 months ahead. No it wasn’t originally booked as a guarantee, but we did use a TA. It came with Princess Plus.

I have been given a cabin number ( at the back of the ship). Is this unusual?

I am Dairy Intolerant, so any food is adjusted for me. This usually means no butter on the vegetables.

Fish was OK, but I am used to clearing my plate( I was brought up in the war and rationing ).I was told there are many starving people who would love the food, so we learnt to eat everything.

For the first time I have a true complaint. I was served chickpeas as vegetables with my fish on our most recent cruise. Along with the withdrawal of gratuities from the AI package, we have changed cruise lines for our next cruise.

I was sent an email asking what I thought about the recent webinar that I watched. This was the heading: ”We’d love you know what you thought of our webinar.” Well to start with, no one checked the grammar! The email continued: Why did I watch it- my answer to see if they addressed a question that I asked prior to the Webinar. No answers were given to any questions we were asked to submit. Also no Pups attached. I’m afraid that my final comment was that for me, it was a waste of time.

But, you can get a good deal if you are from UK: a) favourable exchange rate b) no VAT

Has been usual on every cruise and we always sail in balcony cabins.

We have been gifted a bottle of wine or flowers as Elite, but on Chic night. Last cruise we sailed as Elite plus for the first time and got nothing.😱

Personally, I would go for the Aqua room, so you can access Blu, especially if it is priced less. Just be aware that you may loose some perks, eg OBC ( if you have any).

Thanks for the link, I have taken a screenshot of page 1. We were last on the Crown Princess in 2016 and were then assigned a dining room. It appears dining has changed since then and it’s taking a long time to get my head around what is available to us for no extra charge ( we are booked with Princess Plus, as it came with the booking).

Last time we were on a Princess ship was Crown in 2016. Then we were assigned a table in the Main Dining room. Is this no longer the case? We are on Sky in September.
