Cruising is my passion

For those of you who may have had to fly into PBI(West Palm Beach Airport) and then had to get to the ship in Port Everglades, without renting a car for the day, what transportation did you use? 

The bed will be by the bath. The cabin is just off the forward stairwell and forward elevators. Good location, however, you will have a nice walk to the dining areas. But that will be good, too.

I feel obligated to let everyone know that I too have received a webinar link with potentially 50 power up points. 

For every 10 points you earn 1 point toward your next tier. They have never offered 50 points.

Did anyone notice that she never mention the Silhouette, Reflection or Eclipse? Not in any of the itineraries.

On a different note, does anyone know what these barrels are for? Or what’s inside them? They’re strapped to the side of the ship in front of the lifeboats. Just curious……

I believe they are inflatable life rafts. They inflate when the barrel opens and the life raft hits the water.

Speaking of shuttle options. Any idea what Celebrity will be charging from Port Canaveral to Orlando Airport in December, 2024? Or others?

It is inevitable after COVID that every cruise line would be facing a

tricky financial future. Nevertheless, Celebrity decided to press

ahead with building more Edge Class ships. Personally, I would have

preferred X to have built one or two less Edge Class ships and

spent the money on revolutionising the whole fleet and keeping up

standards in the restaurants. I am assuming that the new build 

contracts could have been renegotiated. Maybe keeping up

standards would have been a better way forward, Just a thought !

Excellent point!  I agree.

Thank you all that posted. We made a reservation at Movenpick. We have stayed at another hotel but cannot remember where it was nor the name. This will be convenient so the part as we are only coming in the day before. Thanks again.

Looking for Hotel recommendations. Thanks.

So, could these offers be forwarded to me or for they only for the person who gets the e-mail?

I do not understand how some of you are getting multiple offers and I have never been offered even one! My husband and I are both members in BCC though we are only Pearl on the tier. ???? Why???

It has vanished since early this morning. They gave been having crashes with the website over the last couple of weeks., especially if you are using An iPad with Safari.

Husband and I are Pearl on our Seapass cards. We have never received any communication regarding a free cruise. Does it come via e-mail and does it state from Blue Chip or something else. Maybe they look at someone’s Celebrity cruise history and don’t send to someone with a lot of cruises. They know we are already repeaters and don’t need to lure us. However, I would be glad to take a free cruise! (Knowing we would pay gratuities, taxes and fees.). Feedback appreciated.

You won't get a 1099.  They have a basic charge for the cruise and then a discount.   My cruise fare was $70pp then discounted $70pp.   My husband's cruise offer fare was $1pp then discounted.

For some reason, I am not receiving my emails from Celebrity which means I have not received the September Power Up Point email. Can someone offer the link? Tgberlin@comcast.net

Thanks.

All of a sudden I am not getting any emails from Celebrity where I used to get anywhere from 3-5 a day. Until it is rectified can someone send me the Power Up Email for September? Tgberlin@comcast.net. Thanks.

Anyone on Equinox…..is the crew/staff still masked? 

Anyone currently on Reflection who can identify which deck is being used for either crew or guest isolation?

Lots of discussion to be had, for sure. Our FP is due in July and I am sure we will not have an answer by then. I do not believe Celebrity wants to have 2800+ guests tested at Celebrity's expense with a strong possibility of guests testing positive and needing to isolate that they did not expect. Thank you all, however, for supporting what I had interpreted.

Talked with my TA who called Celebrity. As of now, the Bermuda Visitor form will need to be completed no later than 24 hours prior to embarkation….with the $40 pp fee. Currently Bermuda is also asking for a negative Antigen test. Confused because the form gives requirements for cruise passengers arriving in Bermuda more than 4 days after embarkation. Leads me to believe that I highly doubt they will accept the negative test taken for embarkation in Barcelona, but don’t know if Celebrity will be testing all guests for Bermuda. That would be opening a Pandora’s Box. I am sure there will be changes. Lots of hoops!

I agree with Grandma and Larry. I have no need to get off the ship in Bermuda. I could deal with another Sea day…..no problem. The issue is that if Celebrity isn’t dealing with it now, then when? When it is too late?

We are booked on Reflection TA 10/31/2022. After the stint across from the Azores, there is a port stop in Bermuda before the last Sea Day going to Fort Lauderdale. How will Bermuda be handled for guests? 

Got an e-mail yesterday, with a link to watch the Italy Webinar to obtain 30 PUP, (aka 3 points). However, the Webinar doesn’t turn on. Anyone else having that issue?

This on yesterday's Celebrity Website under Healthy Protocols. Please someone currently onboard try to verify this.

"All crew and guests who are eligible to be vaccinated must be fully vaccinated with all initial doses administered at least 14 days prior to sailing. Effective April 15, 2022, this will include all U.S. guests 5 years of age and older for all sailings globally.

All guests 2 and over must present a negative Covid-19 test result in order to board a Celebrity Cruises ship."

The underlined part is new and does not state a timeframe in which a test must be procured. Typo? Missed information?
