I have the full 15 day rotation published on a blog https://cruzinjim.blogspot.com/2022/03/luminae-dinner-menus.html

I think the driver has to show some type of paper identifying him as a Ride Share driver and If I recall we had to flash our Passport from the back seat

Theoretically it is possible but if you order more than one drink in a certain amount of time it alerts the bartender and also may be blocked out. Also your picture pops up on the cash register when you present your card. I personally don't think it is appropriate to try to cheat and abuse the package. A possible alternative might be to order her drink between the CC free drinking hours if a qualifying CC member.

I see those yummy Lemon Tarts top shelf right corner.

I agree... I absolutely hate the Penthouse. It took me 10,000 steps just trying to get my suitcases unpacked. I keep forgetting which walk in closet I put something. 🥸

I've never needed anything to get into the port except maybe an ID that we flashed. The transit pass allows you to get through the front door of the terminal and then when you show it they will direct you to a special desk for in-transit. Port Everglads is pretty easy from my experience but some non-Florida ports have been a challenge. No one knew what an in-transit pass was and kept trying to send us through the regular checkin.

Same for me. Last night I checked and was able to bid on two cruses but never received any invitations. The cruises are as much as 45 days about which really surprised me. The ships are only about 65% sold which may be the reason. Suites are fully booked but lots of opportunity for most other classes

One other thing. If yo wish to see other ships and/or sailings besides your reservation. At the very bottom under all your reservation there is a selection to add a reservation and another for "See Ships We Support" I use this often if I want to see activities and figure out the Chic nights

At least in suites you have a show shine bag in you closet with the clothing bags. YOu just hang them on your door at night and your butler returns them the next morning. I'm pretty sure the stateroom attendants would handle shoes in other class.

You really don't need to do Checkin for the second cruise but I usually do as it speeds up the B2B process by about 15 seconds. It also came in hand once when we did a B2B Celebrity tour and forgot our transit pass. We just used the Express Pass to get past the front door. As others said you will get an invitation to the B2B meeting along with instructions and transit pass. If the same room you don't have to do anything with room. If a different room you will need to pack up things in drawers and the Room Attendant will move hanging items and suitecases to new room. You can either go ashore anytime prior to final call and tour on your own. You will use your Transit Pass and be processed with new card at the terminal at the B2B desk. You will not be able to re-board the ship until general boarding begins around 11:00 On B2B day you will be instructed to meet other B2B's in a Lounge like the Sky Lounge at 8:30-9:00. Once they zero out the ship they will either process B2B's either on the ship if immigration is on the ship or will take you ashore if immigration is in the terminal. You will clear immigration and then be issued your new SeaPass. Once all the B2B's are processed (about 20-30 minutes) you will be escorted aboard and have free access of the ship until general boarding begins around 11.

I hope it works for you.

It could... if you drank enough of the rum. 🤪

I've never seen one posted. I'm sure if you have a large group of members traveling you could probably ask to use a room and announce it on the community bulletin board.

I've really been enjoying the review and enlightening me about Cunard. The idea of taking Cunard back from Europe instead of flying is becoming more attractive with the spiraling cost of First Class transcontinental air fares. I thought about it last year but our stay in Europe didn't match up with a sailing.

Zenith status was a reason not to sail other lines. Originally it included Retreat Access regardless of class sailed, Free Internet, Premium Drink Package and Free Unlimited Laundry has been diluted by having most of it standard in the suite pricing. They also took away the Retreat Access if not in a suite. It was a good privileged when you could book without perks. We always sail in suites no longer much of a perk. About all you get now is usually a luncheon with Senior Staff and/or Captain.

Ahh... I thought it was the content of all your suit cases. LOL

Another quiet location is on Sport Deck forward of the outdoor movie area.

In my opinion one of the best locations is on Deck 4 Port (non-smoking side). Generally very quiet and very few people -

No - not possible. If in a suite you can invite a guest in a non-suite and pay about $50 pp. In Blu they do not permit the payment for a guest.

Depending on when your cruise is but normally if within a week of sailing and one goes pending and one expired it mean you are about to be upgraded. An additional indication is that if you go in using the original confirmation for the pending room and no longer have the option to cancel or change it is almost certain you won. I hope it works out for you.

Sorry to hear. I understand they have sea sick pills at guest service. If you want a more natural remedy - Ginger is suppose to help (ginger ale also seems to work). I believe they still sell that pressure point bands in the gift shops.

Reflection just came out of Dry Dock and no retreat deck was added. They painted the hull, did normal maintenance and sea trials, refreshed soft goods and looks like some work in the OVC. Celebrity currently has all future Revolutions on hold until they return to profitability.

Thanks for taking the time to post a Live Post. I definitely will be following along. As others have said it really helps survival between cruises by reading Live Posts. Hope you have a wonderful cruise.

Abby - Sorry to hear you had such a difficult time trading in your old notes for new ones. I think the old ones went out of circulation in September of 2022. Good reason to minimize holding on to foreign notes. We were lucky enough to have Iain's sister come to the bank for us as a customer and they exchanged them without a problem. Also being in Scotland they had no problems exchanging both Scottish and British notes.

I set my phone to Airplane Mode when on the ship. As many others I turn on Internet Calling. Once on the ship I create a WiFi account by connecting to the ships wifi and then use the ships wifi for both telephones calls and wifi. I have T-Mobile which has free international roaming in 215 countries. While roaming the cost for a phone call is 25 cents. Once in Port I turn off airplane mode and when connected to the provider I get a text message confirming free roaming, the option to pay more for faster speed and the cost of telephone calls. It is best to check with your carrier to understand their conditions and prices.
