Thanks all! Not sailing until October 2022. Just wondering!

How many days before cruise sailing can you book boarding time?

We do also (Oct 2022 TA), plus a Bermuda cruise scheduled for July 2022. I'm not sure what Celebrity is offering. No even considering canceling this early, but I am curious.

 

BTW, I have non-Celebrity insurance on all three of my currently scheduled Celebrity cruises. I expect to be able to sail all three.....at least I HOPE we can!😎

Thanks Doug. Have not obtained trip insurance yet but will soon. Was hoping X would extend CWC tell end of year. I guess that’s not happening! At least not yet!

Now confused. We have a transatlantic cruise booked for October 2022, are we now covered with cruise with confidence? Not a FCC.

We are on the Silhouette on December 3. For quite some time, our Cruise Planner had shorex available for all ports except St. Lucia, but not too long ago, shorex were finally posted for St. Lucia as well.  It’s possibly just too early for your cruise. With the pandemic, things keep changing. 
 

As for learning more about the island, there is of course the Port of Call forum:

Thanks for the info. I’m hoping that is the reason just to early.  Just noticed that Royal Caribbean is extending there covid protocols through March 2022 for pre cruise testing and vaccinations. I wonder if that will effect Celebrity cruise line. We have another cruise 3-18-2022. I was so hoping we wouldn’t need the 2day pre cruise testing. Oh well! Just glad to soon be cruising again!!

I have noticed that on our sailing on Silhouette on 2-4-22 no shore excursion for day 5 ( which is in St Lucia) have been posted. Is Silhouette not stopping there? We have never been to that island was wondering what to do there. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks DCPIV. I’m getting right on it!

So,how far in advance do you make dining reservations for specialty restaurants? We never ate in any before but thought now with two 10 day cruises booked for February and March of 2022 we would consider it. 

I’m all for the sunnier side of the ship!! What about the wind? Is one side of the ship better than the other?

I’m afraid that would happen to us.  Would like to try a few speciality restaurants but may try and book them thru the retreat concierge. Is that possible? In a Sky suite.🤨

Thanks Den, starting to feel better already!! 😉  

Thanks all! Going west bound from Rome to Florida. Have a sky suite on the port side on the 10th deck. Did I do good? So concerned about the weather which I know I have no control over but still worry about it!!😗  Will definitely get on the roll call list. Love meeting new people! 

Always have a great time on cruises!! Never had that many sea days in a row.  Going on Edge ( our second time) in Oct of 2022 just need some help on what to plan and do.😗

Been on 25 cruises but never TA. Would like any suggestions or helpful hints of what to expect. Thanks!

Thanks for all the help everyone. A lot to” digest” and decide what is best for us.

Actually, you may not have that much time in reality, as there are limited number of packages available and once sold out, they are sold out.

 

And of course this is also dependent on sailing and ship as well.

 

Then again, you may have the time. There was a posting on another thread recently, concerning the posters in ability to book a dining package and it turned out no more were available and this was for a sailing Spring 2022.

 

bon appetit and bon voyage

Thanks again. Not sailing until February on Silhouette so I guess I have some time to think about it.  Not a problem for time but would like choice of restaurants. 

Thanks, now I wonder if choosing the three night package is a good thing to do. 

In Cruise planner under specialty dining reservations there is a three night,four night etc choice. My question is do I have a choice of restaurants and times or are they assigned for me?
