I have had something pop up that requires me to log in for a two hour call while on our cruise.  We will be at sea that day. 

Does anyone have experience working/being on calls while onboard? 

Thanks,

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone had experience with the pullout bed in the living room of the celebrity suite on the edge series. Is it comfortable enough? Do they put a mattress topper in it?

Thank you in advance!!

We are considering putting 4 adults in the millennium class penthouse. The group would consist of myself, my husband, and my parents.
 

Can anyone speak to their experience with 4 adults in this room? I know there is plenty of space. However, I’d be interested in hearing about privacy/comfort for the couple in the living room. 
 

Reason for putting 4 people in the room is because the retreat is sold out. Can’t get access to luminae/be in the same area of ship.

Chip was our butler on the summit San Juan on a December cruise in 2018. He was wonderful and is the main reason we continue to cruise retreat class. I believe he was from Romania and I know he preferred the millennium class.

I was wondering whether or not anyone knows who I am referencing and whether or not he is cruising. .

I have tried unsuccessfully to reach out to Celebrity for confirmation.

I’m concerned that my PCR test will continue to be positive leading up to my sail date. I understand that antigen tests could provide a negative result. However, I’m a bit dubious of the antigen tests as I have several anecdotal accounts of false positives.

Does anyone have experience sailing 4 weeks after a positive result?
 

Do we know if celebrity accepts a note from the doctor confirming successful recovery from covid 4 weeks prior?

Thanks in advance for your help/guidance.

Hi all, 

I'm working on a memory book for a cruise we went on in 2019 ( a bit of a backlog...) and can't remember the name of the acrobat show in The Club while sailing on the edge Transatlantic. 

It was a very cool show, cabaret/cirque de soleil style. 

Can anything help me out with my failing memory?

I was very much looking forward to this experience but ended up walking away disappointed.

The presentation of actual food was not timed with the show (and in one course we had to actually move our dirty plate to a different table so we could see the next animation).

It was absolutely cute and the food was good (not great....like murano!) but was not a value at $40 a person in my opinion.

I was just told by the pre cruise concierge that monogrammed robes are not being offered on the summit.  We sail next week. 

We just got off the trans atlantic Edge.  The Elite cocktail hour is held in the club.  There are hors d'oeuvres passed.  However, we thought the best benefit was the ability to get a "good" seat for the 7.15pm show.  

There are also unlimited drinks from the captain's club cocktail menu from 5-7pm in most bars (does not include Magic Carpet). 

We are also interested in the responses to this query.

Adding my two cents... despite food being subjective. 

As a bit of background, I'm a young professional who lives in a larger city with many restaurant options.  My preference is farm to table restaurants with craft cocktails :) My husband and I consider ourselves foodies and have dined at Michelin starred restaurants all over the world.  We do not cruise for food but for the overall experience.  

None of our meals on any cruise line compare to a Michelin restaurant.  However, we never expect them too. At best, they may compare to a land based restaurant. 

Below would be our categorization of service. We dinned in each of these venues in December of 2018. 

MDR = Wedding Banquet Food with Mediocre Service

Tuscan Grille = Olive Garden Quality with Great Service

Murano = Land based Restaurant Quality and Great Service (would eat here every night)

Qsine = Trendy Restaurant with Applebee's quality and Mediocre Service

Luminae = 50% land based restaurant quality 50% applebee's with FABULOUS service

Like many have said... food is extremely subjective.  I've tired to provide my background and a fair (but honest) assessment. 

Hello! 

I'm wondering if Celebrity ever unassigns or switches your cabin assignment when booked in a guarantee. Has anyone every experienced this?

My parents are assigned in a guarantee cabin for a cruise in December 2019.  I was surprised to see that they've been assigned to a cabin already and in a very desirable cabin with a larger than normal balcony!  I'm trying to assess what the chances of them getting reassigned are and trying to understand why Celebrity would assign guarantee cabins so far out.  They could have held out longer and potentially captured more revenue for this desirable cabin.  

Thanks in advance!

Does this work with any of the big online TA’s and the OBC you receive from them?

Is the retreat sundeck open for lunch while in port. We’ll be on the summit I’m December. Hoping to try out the lunch but only have one sea day.

Thanks in advance!

I'm onboard in December and am also interested. I'm excited to try LPC but am concerned about the lack of specialty dining on M class.

The Molecular Bar! Still some of the most exotic, glamourous, fanciest, quality cocktails I've ever had!

I agree.  The world class bar just isn't the same.  Bring back the dry ice drinks!!

I'm trying to understand what premium suite amenities (penthouse and royal suite) we can expect on a revolutionized ship.  We're familiar with the old benefits having sailed on an S class in February and an M class in December (both royal suites). 

I'm aware that the biggest change post revolution is the retreat sundeck.  

What about peloton bikes, were those added?

They mention premium chocolates at turndown.  Are these different than the chocolates we've had in the past?

I noticed that some peoples reviews show monogrammed robes.  After searching the internet, this only seems to be a stated benefit in the royal suite on the new Flora ship.

Anything else that is new on the revolutionized ships?

Thanks in advance for your answers! 

Thank you for the review and pictures.  The dinner looks like a fabulous time!!!

Also boarded at 10:30, went directly to the Retreat Lounge and requested to book the Magic Carpet dinner with Cali.  Followed up with her a couple of times, and she gave some wishy washy excuse as to it being full (despite us being among the first few people to try and book).  

A bit off topic but worth noting... unfortunately, we've also had disappointing experiences with Cali (but on a different ship). There was a lack of follow through and she would tend to make excuses for things (or get defensive) instead of attempting to resolve them.  

Chip was our butler when we were in a Royal Suite right before christmas.  He truly made our trip extra special! Glad to here he is doing the same for you!!!

Have we heard if the special lower price available for port day treatments is ceasing fleetwide too, as it has on Edge?

We just got off the Summit on 12/22.  The spa confirmed that port pricing will be going away. 

We are sailing in an RS this Saturday on the summit. We received a call last week from a woman who is covering for Eric the concierge who has been emailing me.

it’s a bit odd, the emails from Eric have misspellings and spell our names wrong. He is also booked our spa appointments for the wrong day.... scheduling us for 10am on the day we disembark!

Not something that we were expecting from our shoreside concierge...

We ordered ours four weeks ago. Didn’t receive them in 2 weeks so called Celebrity who put in a manual request. We received both sets yesterday on the same day.

we did both and it was fabulous!!
