Thanks Terry - I think we were looking at the same pictures at the same time.

Another find - She’s here for a 2 week drydock as she prepares to depart on 30 Oct 2023 from Rome, Italy for her inaugural repositioning cruise to her new homeport of Sydney, Australia via Dubai and Singapore! Will you be sailing on Celebrity Edge soon? We can’t wait to welcome her into Singapore! Photo: h.ricardosouza

Credit to Kostasway Theodoris for this wonderful picture.

See you aboard we are on the Singapore to Sydney and Sydney December 9 also. I'm searching daily and so far haven't found any more mention or pictures of dry dock. Usually the crew, dock workers or captain post some pictures.

Living in Silicon Valley and being a techno nerd I always find a way to get things to work. I do use VPN and found NordVPN works best for me. If you get the message that you are out of Country either VPN not turned on or they have blacklisted the particular server. If you go to Nord's site and in the help pop up type YouTubeTV it will popup 3 servers that have been validated as working. In the past year, Celebrity has also included a selection for Streaming to your TV for Computer, Tablet or Phone on the main menu- Very easy to follow instructions.

I have not taken either going to a cruise but have used both when on B2B for a day outing. The Bus Terminal is about 1/2 the distance to the port as to Train Station. We took the train to Windsor and was very efficient. If I recall it was about 1 1/2 comfortable walk. Cabs and Uber are readily available for both. I would check the timing of both and choose the most convenient location and shortest transit time

Surprised to hear. What ship where you on. I've been able to use all ports on all classes of ships. In the older days you could use a Samsung Remote to change the source but no longer you have to use the room remote and follow the instructions given to me by IT.

Surprised to hear. I haven't been on Infinity in quite some time.

Curious if you had the Basic or Premium Wifi?

I have done Zoom calls on M S and E class ships with Starlink and had no problems. Some have mentioned having bad experience and I have to admit I was only using it in CS and above suites and most of the time they have a router in the ceiling of the room. Speeds and reliability will be dependent on where the router is located in relation to where you are using the internet. My experience has been that Celebrity has throttled the internet to speeds of approximately 5meg Up and 3 down. I will admit at times there are certain areas where the satellite will be dropped for a couple minutes to a couple hours. If I recall correctly the internet was pretty solid off the coast of Spain.

There is no standard. They say 30 days but I have seen as far out as 75 days and down to about 25 days. Typical of Celebrity - inconsistent.

Yes they reduced both the minimum and Max. Like I said this has only happened twice out of over 20 bids. In the last year I've seen minimums that were obscene.

Also love it. The other one that would have me in hysterics was One Foot in the Grave with Victor Richard Wilson as Victor Meldrew and Annette Crosbie as Margaret Meldrew.

They do have on demand movies. It is kinda quirky when you search and you think you are pay per view but actually there is a pretty good library of free things. When you choose them you go to a screen that shows zero charge. Not sure if they have gotten rid of them since I was last on in April/May.

Not at all I said BBC is wonderful especially if you have a British Husband but on both Sky and BBC there may be some U.S. news but nothing about California and especially Northern California which is were we live. Also like all other National broadcasters there are regional bias e.g. watching the Olympics on either.

In the email the say it will be posted BY November 14 -- which causes ambiguity as to exactly when we should check.

Having lived in Ireland - Double Cream is incredible and not available in the U.S. It is around 48% Butter Fat. An luscious Clotted Cream comes in at a artery clogging 55% I was doing a Software install at a Dairy Company (DairyGold) in Seattle and learned that many states have stringent regulations on the exact butter fat content of 1%, 2%, Skim and Whole Milk. I was surprised to learn that when the raw milk first arrives it is separated into Skim and Cream and then it is remixed and homogenized to the various states specification.

I was just taking a look and it looked like there was a single Veranda cabin available when I looked then looked back and it was gone and showed Sold Out again. This will possibly shift as cabin's being looked at, on hold or cancellation.

The Tuscan Restaurant on the E-Class is the same as the other 3 MDR. Each have a signature Appetizer, Main and Desert representative of the theme, but you can order any of the 4 from any of the MDR's.

Personal opinion Eden is top notch and in my opinion much better than Murano. I've not tired Le Voyage yet as I have not sailed a ship with it aboard. To me Le Petite Chef is one and done and more into entertainment than food quality and prep. Fine cut was OK but due to location the sound pollution from the Atrium Martini Bar and the "Show" is beyond loud and distracts from the potential it could have.

I have seen them reduce the price a couple times. Must agree with other it is unusual. On the particular instance, I had bid on an Upgrade I really wanted near the maximum amount. A couple weeks later I looked and the Maximum price had dropped well below my bid. My bid had not changed so I had to manually modify the bid down. BTW I won the bid

I had the alternative recommendation (requirements) from IT and Legal Council. Due to my role I handled sensitive data and often there was litigation and I was not permitted to delete any email or throw away any paper, scratchpad work product. All the paper would go in a box and when full would go into storage until litigation was finalized. Maybe because of this I never delete e-mails. While I understand others constant cleaning up. I'm surprised how often I access very old emails as the president of our HOA.

Yea.. they originally had a bar in a room behind the hot/cold station and would mix your drinks there. They originally left out wine in a wine / beer refrigerator for self service but understand they had to eliminate because of you Tweens sneaking in and drinking.

I was trying to check and since their last update I can't see a record of my CC that include the power up. I looked up my invite and find the following - Bottom line says will be awarded by November 14, 2023

Ahh....I thought you had applied it. In my case they sent me a certificate via e-mail with two FCC Numbers. I had one for a cancelled cruise and had not received the e-mail I called Zenith Deask and they first asked me to check my junk and spam folders which I did. When I replied there was nothing there they took my details and said would get back to me. Next day they sent me the Certificate Numbers. In my case the refunded the total amount of my cruise back to my credit card and were issuing a FCC for $400 as a concession for cancelling the cruise. You then go to https://www.celebritycruises.com/future-cruise-credit From there you can apply to an existing reservation or book a new cruise.
