  1. Can't really tell you without knowing when you are cruising. If within 3 days or so you likely got your bid. If 30 days out who knows. There are lots of threads and hundreds of replies If you do.a search that cover every scenario
  2. Absolutely no idea for you. As someone from Arizona- no. We would also never ever lay on a lounge to sun. Impossible to predict sun or clouds, rain or dry. Bring your suit and cross your fingers.
  3. If you have a drink package silly to buy a bucket and spend $$ as they are not included. Have gotten 2 beers with 2 cards and asked them to only open 1. Sometimes yes and per policy usually no. Rarely see a bucket on Celebrity. Not that sort of clientele. When I have they open them all, but am sure they would not if you asked. Bottles or occasionally cans.
  4. Get to the airport tired to Stay up.the night before your flight - get to the airport tired and sleep on the plane after breakfast. As said a NAP - not over an hour - at your hotel in AMS. Go to bed that night at your regular time. You should be fine the next day. PS - no alcohol the night before flying.
  5. It includes pretty much everything except premium water, the "smoothies", and red bull type drinks.
  6. Lots of threads on this. After reading my reply do a search. Simply go to customer service desk on board and NICELY ask. Thats it. You might ask again late the day you board. You really cannot tell if there are vacancies because last minute cancellations are possible, but would c likely be filled via MoveUp 48 hours before. If there are no shows and they have not contacted Celebrity with travel delays, an upgrade is possible. Check out the MoveUp page so you could have an idea of the $ and if you are even interested. They happen rarely on a ship 90% full. But possible. Good luck.
  7. Take a deep breath. No need to shout. If your sister booked the reservation you pretty much cannot change it on line. You change prepay the gratuities after you board. Simply go to Customer Relations desk with a credit card and pay them. You also probably can buy/gift OBC on line that can be used to pay for the gratuities.
  8. Not surprised at all. As long as more than a year out you can't have any international air booked. Understand disappointment by I keep saying one needs to be flexible or stay home. We aren't pleased that American Airlines cancelled a flight that now requires us to overnight in Chicago. The offer was to refund what I paid last May. Fare has gone up $800. Are staying in Chicago on our $$.
  9. Yes. With a drink package no. Clearly explained under frequently and questions. Recently Changed
  10. They usually have private shore excursions available. Those are pretty much only limited by time. Completely custom are a problem thru Celebrity because of insurance. If much of your OBC is from your TA it will be refundable.
  11. Yes. But a few $ to the servers will get you fast service when things are busy.
  12. Obviously no. Almost meaningless to use the app much prior to boarding. No menus showing for cruise next week.
  13. Actually UK residents can use a US TA but need to also provide a US address. We provide one for several friends. Just lots harder.
  14. It actually varies. Check in early in the morning and you will get any time you want. Usually had it midnight Eastern time. And the 2 are not synced so one will likely open maybe 30 seconds before the other.
  15. No point in discussing as do not have date of reservation, deposit and the date of the cruise. The language feels wrong. A lost dream! Never able to see the ship! Really. Every Celebrity ship makes multiple Alaska cruises with the identical itinerary. Absent hearing more from the OP, I agree with others. PS the OP joined in 2022 and has made exactly 1 post. Will we hear back with details?
  16. OV on Summit was always far superior to Windjammer. Know things were cut in January. Hope the cook to order stations are all back. Windjammer selection was always lacking IMO
  17. You need to examine the Pride of America and go to the Fourm for that ship. As for weather, there is a reason other cruiselines skip August. Besides being 32C and lows 27C with humidity at 90% it is the middle of hurricane season.
  18. The plus for Celebrity is non smoking except for a smoking area outside. Buffet has more cook to order stations. Plus for Princess is laundry facilities and minsuites on many ships at appordable rates. Thus decide but we do it now on the itinerary. In 2024 Princess has a more interesting TA. With the destruction of loyalty benefits unless you have many cruises decide on that basis. FWIW on recent Emerald Princess cruise smoking in the casino was a non issue as the casino was so uninviting almost nobody there. Both were dreadfully short staffed so dinner service awful. Shows and speakers good on both but timing difficult on Princess - needed to eat really early or really late.
  19. There is food available from about 6ish till 1am. You won't starve. Room service after that for a few $.
  20. Cannot imagine your cabin steward would take a laptop. Way too easy to see who went in your room and when. Never ever heard of things stolen like that. Personally I just take my phone,but understand some of us have work needs.
  21. Would definitely not call them smoothies. Discussed in several threads. Neither my wife or I liked them. What is your question?
