Looking forward to all the above and am really enjoying a positive topic.   We just love being at sea.  It’s mesmerizing.  We live in the desert so really enjoy our cruises. 

I’m just excited that we are back to discussing what to wear.  Does this mean cruising is far behind?   Take care.  Louise

OK. So no one actually knows what will happen in 2 months or 12 months. I don’t think  it helps to flame others for their

hope for cruising to start. Vaccinations are going well in a lot of places. We are a group of cruise lovers. I appreciate positive comments.  The only negative comments are all guesses. This has been a horrible time for all and looking forward to coming cruises is a good thing.  No need to rain on our parades.  

We would have a hard time cruising there is a requirement for vaccines. Want the roll out of cruising to go smoothly and I don’t see that happening unless mandatory vaccines. Louise

Enjoy your cruise if you’re decide to go. I do like Blu and Aqua.  We are doing Aqua on this cruise but got a great deal. Louise

Loved New Zealand.   Would like to spend more time in Alaska.   We also enjoyed DaNang Vietnam.  Loved Italy especially Tuscany.  Could visit any and all again. So many places so little time.   

i think we should stick to the question asked by the OP.  I would go for the upgrade.  Sounds like a reasonable price. 

We stayed in 6903 and we loved it.   My husband maintains they are a lot bigger.  We have been them twice.  So convenient.  If you want a good inside room they are the best. 

We were on the Millennium in June to July southbound. My husbands favorite excursion was the halibut fishing trip in Icy Strait.  He absolutely loved it.  The other outstanding excursion was in the glacier.  We did the smaller boat that took us closer to the glacier.  Saw some incredible calving. Loved it. Those were our outstanding excursions.   We also enjoyed the whale watching trip that ended at a lodge with a salmon lunch.  So good.  Only did Celebrity excursions. We are OK with those.  We really enjoyed this cruise.  Did our own thing from Anchorage to Seward. Loved both Anchorage and Seward.  Such a beautiful state.

We have used both WhatsApp and Wifi calling with good success.

4 days out, no info still 

There are people to help with any problems on the ship upon embarkation.  It really wasn’t that helpful until on board except for checking in.  It had info but not all of it until onboard.

On the messaging feature, can you ONLY message people on your reservation?

Or can you "add" other users outside your reservation to stay in touch? 
Also, is there a group messaging function (we are travelling with two other couples)? 

Thanks!

You can add more people.  Once on the ship they had a couple people helping set it up.  Very helpful. 

You don’t get the correct info until about a week before your cruise.  I had ordered several excursions and several were not on the app until about a week before our cruise. It was pretty good once you were on the ship. Enjoyed the app. 

In December we were on the Millennium in Aqua Clasd.  We got the nice heavier tote with the zipper and pocket.   In July we were again on the Millennium in an Ocean view   We just got the lighter tote.  They are both nice to use for excursions to bring extra needs.  We love all classes on Celebrity.  

I always get some Euros from the bank before I leave so I can get a cab or transportation to our hotel or any immediate needs upon arrival.  I always contact our credit card.  Once I forgot they wouldn’t approve my purchase until I called them.  Not always easy when you are overseas. Once you are there you can use credit cards and ATMs for money. Have a great cruise. 

We had them on our Alaskan cruise on the Millennium. The revolutionized has a bakery and we had some from there and also small open faced sandwiches in another part. Very enjoyable.  

We were just on the Millennium out of Seward.  Our muster drill was at 7:15 PM. Sail away at 8. 

Had a German chocolate cake in Cafe Bacio that was to die for.  

Also App was handy to see daily activities.  You can also text roommate.  

We used it on our Alaska cruise on the Millennium.  It didn’t show all our excursions and specialty reservations until the week before the cruise.  Before that it wasn’t complete.  Checked in with the App. Checking in went so fast.  Took our pics and onto the ship.  Able to drop off our carryons right away but wanted us to leave so rooms could be completed. Room cards on door.  Loved the new decor. So much brighter.  Beds comfortable. 

You can always bring on 2 bottles of wine at Embarkation.  That way you could have a couple  bottles that you know you like. 

A couple things.  I second the suggestion to go to the roll call for your cruise. There will be a lot of people setting up private tours and can give you ideas of options.  Also know that Celebrity will add more excursions the closer to the time of the cruise.  

We took this cruise last December before the revolution.  It was reasonably priced at the time.  We loved it.  Halong Bay was incredible.   Weather was good.  A little hot in Bangkok but incredible sights.  Hong Kong and Singapore were great.  One of our favorite cruises.  We will be on the Millennium in a few days for an Alaskan cruise.  Looking forward to seeing the new ship.  Timing when to put in your reservation is always difficult.  I like being able to pick certain cabins on certain decks so I like to reserve early and start planning.  Our December cruise never dropped and in fact was higher after we made our deposit.  There was some upgrades offered after final payment but we were happy with where we were.  We also had a very active Roll Call and lots of good info learned on it.  

No she doesn’t. They indicate who has a beverage package on your seapass card. 

Thanks for the info.  We were on the Millie last December  

before the revolution. We were in Aqua. Class then.   Picked an Alaska cruise this June and will be in Oceanview.   Thanks for the pictures.  Feeling good about our choice.   Looking forward to seeing all the upgrades.
