I have been trying all mornign to get on X's website and it keeps freezing.  I have no issues with any other website.  As we all know, this is nothing new.  Anyone else having problems this morning?

Works fine for me.

I absolutely agree on the dining chairs.

Different stokes for different folks. I actually prefer the buffet layout on the S class to the M.

I thought about it…I really did. Genuinely curious, what would you have said?  I think this is where I’m stumped. 

I guess it depends on your relative sizes🤣

Cruise docs are not usually available until check-in is completed. This has been around the 45 day mark.

Absolutely bad etiquette. Solarium and any other public area, indoor or outdoor, should be earbud use only. .

Booked an Aqua room on the Silhouette and I just wanted to do a price check and it shows this category is sold out. Is it possible to figure out the current price? I did read on CC that Celebrity will not reprice your room in a sold out category.

 

By the way, I spent way to much time searching CC and Google for the answer. Google was just Celebrity PR links and CC gives you results for every word you put in the search. I tried clicking on "all search terms" and that was no help.

 

Thank you for your help.

There is no "current" price because there are none to be sold.

The cabins are the same size.

Just to clarify... if the numbers are high, is it not offered at all?  Or, are you saying, if the numbers are high you wind up waiting a long time with the other "elites" and it's really not that great of a perk?

Sometimes  it is not available at all with the exception of suites, and you just end up waiting in a meeting place instead of the tender area.

Not sure about how the number of Elites and up impacts this privilege, ...

When the numbers are very high it only transfers the wait line to the gathering spot instead of Deck2. You are escorted in the order you came, but if so many have the status there is no advantage.

The tender priority is dependant on the number of Elite and above passengers. When the numbers are very high then it becomes a moot point.

Something new?? or a UK thing?? I have never seen that.

No, not at all but people should realize it’s impossible to enforce or deter passengers from vaping in their cabins or anywhere on the ship with some sort of privacy. I suppose security could inspect every bag and confiscate any vaping items they discover upon embarking. 
 

What ideas do you have to stop passengers from partaking in this activity? 

Well one place to start is the cabin attendant. They are in every cabin every day and are sure to be able to smell the lingering odours. This could lead to warnings to the offenders. They may be hesitant for fear of losing any gratuities though.

I don't understand the problem. The transfer window was made clear, and you clearly knew the deadline but chose to wait. They should change the requirement due to your timing?

Can anyone tell me what is included with this:

 

"ALLINCBOGO50"

"CYBER OBC"

 

 

 

You have classic beverage, basic wifi, and gratuities included, as well a  bonus OBC.

I believe the only restriction is non-commisionable cruise fares.

We booked the 10 night Equinox  cruise but have been to all the ports several times before. We have the bevarge package and we might decide to stay on the ship. Has anyone done that, just enjoy the almost empty ship?

I always enjoy a nearly empty ship in Grand Cayman. No problem getting a chair in the shade and beverages.

Per Celebrity and the State Dept, since it is a "closed loop cruise" starting in a US port and ending in a US port, you do not have to have a passport.  You will need a government issued ID like a Driver License and your Birth Certificate.

 

From the Celebrity website on documents needed for travel:

 

U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same port in the U.S.) will be able to enter or depart the country with proof of citizenship, such as a government-issued birth certificate and laminated government issued picture ID, denoting photo, name and date of birth. A U.S. citizen under the age of 16 will be able to present either an original or notarized or certified copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad issues by DOS, or Certificate of Naturalization issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Note: Baptismal papers and hospital certificates of birth are not acceptable. Voter registration cards or Social Security cards are not considered proof of citizenship.

While true that it isn't required for leaving or  re-entry into the US, that is not to say that it may or not be required in foreign ports. You can take your cruise, but could possibly be denied entry at any port that is non US. The requirement for a passport is totally dependent on the foreign port you are visiting. All that is not to say that it will be asked for, but...

... Also, which is more preferable, the bed by the balcony or the bed by the door? 

...

Only you can answer that. Some prefer bed by balcony for the extra room when entering the cabin and some, like me, prefer the sofa by the balcony door.

No longer any point to booking a suite onboard then. 

Other than the additional OBC.

I never heard of X doing $25.00 deposits. Maybe I've been sleeping.

I made a few of these in the 2015/16 time frame.

Now that suites have a percentage deposit, how does it work for Onboard Booking?

 

I'm just weighing my options for possibilities for next summer's cruise (a lot depending on if the new contract gets ratified) and pondering a Sky Suite/Magic Carpet Sky Suite but want to be prepared for the deposit if I decide on that.

From what I recall seeing on the display board on the Millennium the $100 deposit applies only to non-suite categories. Normal deposit amounts are required for suites.

When you receive the 10% bonus via Cruise Excursions before boarding you are only able to cash out slot winnings. If you load $100 + $10 (bonus) you must continue to play until all the $110 has been used - any leftover amount will be lost .

 

This may be what happened

No bonus, and as stated they paid out the winnings, but returned the balance to my folio.
