  1. Thanks for your post. What a way to start your vacation. The positive is that it can only get better.
  2. Joan, Are you on Solstice TransPacific?
  3. Thanks Terry --- Gives us some idea. For our Solstice TP the Shoreside originally told me that checkin would begin at 1:00 since we were not leaving until 6:30. ChekIn opened yesterday and first time is 12:00 noon. I checked again last night and all of the 12 and 12:30 are now gone in less than 2 days
  4. They have it located on Deck 12 forward of the Movie Screen. It is shared with Basketball and Tennis.
  5. Yes... they dropped it as an option to buy about 2 months ago. You can still get it as a perk but not as a stand alone purchase.
  6. No... that isn't possible. As soon as you log on the second one the other gets knocked off the air.
  7. I've eaten at all of them and would vote for Eden. Personally we were underwhelmed with Fine Cuts. I do have to say we had lunch at The Bistro and was really impressed.
  8. Here are the top cruise lines for customer service in 2024, according to the survey: 1. Viking 2. Holland America 3. Celebrity 4. Disney 5. Seabourn
  9. @terrydtx I was looking for you Live post for Edge earlier this year and couldn't find it. I believe you joined Edge in Sydney for the first leg of your B2B. Was curious how embarkation was in Sydney. Specifically do they have a Retreat Lounge and if you know when Luggage Drop off opened. When I was there I was on a B2B out of Singapore so didn't go through the process..
  10. I agree with all the comments. I was awestruck when I read it. Definitely out of touch with reality. All they would have to do is read page one of CC Celebrity Forum to hear a totally different story.
  11. When you cancel the fee goes back to original form of payment. For OBC it is refunded to OBC within seconds for Credit Cards can take 7-10 days.
  12. Millennium and Summit both had a complete Revolution - All staterooms were updated to the driftwood color and all new carpeting and softgoods, Michael's Club converted to Retreat Lounge and both have Retreat Sun Decks. In addition the shops and Rendezvous were updated. If I recall nothing done to Cellar Master, Al Bacio, MDR, BLU, Luminae or the theater.
  13. We took one and Denali was the highlight of the trip. With @Northern Aurora reporting the road is closed would really be a disappointment. When we did the tour - Included Hotel for Each Night Bus Transportation Free Water and Hard Candy on Bus Train trip portion of the tour Guide and Driver Porter Service delivery of bags to and from your room each evening Not Included: Meals Drinks Tours except those included on the tour - Optional additional excursions are available at each stop. Gratuities Breakfast on the Train
  14. Hmmm... I got a chuckle out of this..... From the welcome drinks to the gift baskets on board. I want some of what they've been smoking. 3. Celebrity Readers liked Celebrity because it has a reputation for caring about the smallest details. From the welcome drinks to the gift baskets on board, the cruise line is a truly premium experience (and has premium prices to go with it). Behind the scenes, Celebrity invests heavily in crew training and ensures a low guest-to-staff ratio. Celebrity has also invested in technology to ensure a better customer service experience, including virtual reality excursions and smartphone apps that allow you to control everything in your cabin from the lights to the thermostat. And when it comes to complaints, my advocacy team almost never hears from Celebrity customers. https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherelliott/2024/02/24/these-cruise-lines-have-the-best-customer-service-in-2024/?sh=771a0bd3d3eb
  15. Just one warning. The new policy on the certificates is that if you don't book something within one year you loose your $200 deposit. In the past it was refunded.
  16. Those octopus cables are fantastic. Really cuts down on the number of cables I use to bring.
  17. I believe it was a CS. I've never traveled in a regular cabin and only been in AQ 1 time and a SS 1 time. I believe the photos were on a TP on Millennium.
  18. Ahh.... I use my Priority Pass all the time. We mostly use FLL and they only have "facilities" at terminal 3 and 4. At those they have one Takeout only and one Bar. Nothing at Terminal 1 that United uses.
  19. Love the doors..... You have a great eye. When living in Dublin, Ireland, Iain bought me a book - Doors of Dublin. Dublin is amazing and it is common that every door is painted a bright color - I guess to make up for the grey skies. Thanks for your wonderful post. I have been enjoying it with my morning coffee.
  20. Thanks much for taking the time to post. Really curious --- How did Turkish Airline Lounge fall into the mix? Sorry if you already mentioned.
  21. Fantastic. That was one of our favorite cruises.
  22. Thanks for the post. From my experience the Mirroring capabilities were build around Android Devices and don't play well with Apple. I've had a hard time mirroring using my iPhone and iPad but I have a Androoid Phone and it seems to work ok. When on Apex they have a menu item on the main screen to Stream. Instead of all the button pushing you just select the item and it has instructions to connect. I was surprise to see that on Edge the option wasn't there.
  23. Personal opinion is the E-Class are huge, but lost the personality of the S-Class ships. The ship is noisy throughout and most of the Specialty Restaurants are open air with no walls. To me Prime Cut is a disaster and if seated near the Edge overlooking the Martini Bar it is almost impossible to talk over the noise - especially when they do their light show. Instead of Retreat lounge being small an intimate it has the feel of a LARGE Airport Lounges.
  24. I posted some pictures. There is a 220V, USB and 3 120V next to the bed. Also at the desk there are (I believer) 2 120V, 1 USB and 1 220V
  25. You can use unlimited devices on each account. All you do is either logoff on one and log on the other or Just log on from second device and it will ask if you want to knock the other one off the air.
