Arizona Wildcat

Terry - the pool water is chlorinated. Other water is basically distilled water that is put through a UV and filter. Understand you do not like the taste. It tastes flat to me. I simply add a drop or two of lemon or my wife objected to Irish whiskey.

Celebrity does not understand "easy." Do not understand what information would be shared by Celebrity to Canada? Celebrity agreed that they would verify that each passenger complied with the testing (etc.) rule from Canada. Which is pretty close to Celebrity's own rule with small differences on a COR that someone else found. Passport info is on both. You certify you are fully vaccinated to both. FWIW each time you present your passport to Canada that crossing info is shared with USA CBP and vice versa.

You will need to check on board. Just remember the Celebrity app and website were originally designed several hundred years ago in Spain by the Marquis de Sade as a torture device.

Trying this again - Canada DOES require a negative covid test to board a cruise ship that has a destination in Canada. It also requires ArriveCAN to be completed and submitted. Sure seems like required testing to me. I am not debating the rule. I fully understand to enter Canada by flying, driving or on foot no testing is required, but this forum is about cruising. If you don't like the rule tell Canada.

You will likely get better information in the ports Forum. Also remember that tour operators and tours are mostly changed since cruising restarted and the tours themselves still evolving.

Or bring a refillable bottle and fill it at the water bottle filling stations for free. I hate the metal bottles. Too bloody hard to open without cutting my hands.

Also know that tours, tour operators and most everything else has changed since 2019. Use Google and emails. Good operators respond quickly.

Reports are anywhere between 3 to 8 weeks. Calling will only get you to a newbie agent who cannot assist. Celebrity is buried with more calls than they can possibly handle effectively. Presume you emailed the resolution department or the executive offices.

Good idea. I use a flat rubber jar opener that weights about 1oz. Use it to cover the shower drain.

Thank you for your opinion. Unfortunately countries such as Canada require testing preloading. The consequence of noncompliance is either the passenger cannot board or the ship cannot call on a port in that country.

I think you mean you spoke to a Celebrity vacation planner and not a travel agent. If you booked directly with Celebrity then simply write a short concise email or letter and send it to the resolutions department or to the office of the president of Celebrity. Just the facts step by step. I used jennifermorales@celebrity.com She is the director or the resolutions department

Should not be a problem for him with shorts. Simply use a lightweight throw to cover his legs. Remove as desired in the MDR. Same if one has a foot in a cast. Definately pants challenged. No problem

You did not understand. Zenith or Elite perks are pretty useless today with AI as the only real perk for Elite is a bag of laundry if in Aqua. In a suite Zenith gets zip meaningful except a different seapass. Zenith only gets a free cruise every 3000 points.

The tour operators are often the same except booking outside Celebrity will usually create a pickup and dropoff point outside the port area. Have almost always found that people cancel both pre and during a cruise. Get on the wait list is the best answer except for possibly a private excursion organized on Cruise Critic .

Bo. I looked for the same. The CDC list is excellent as are a couple others but they all are both a bit out of date and require clicking on each country to get an answer. Neighbor who is the house doctor for Raytheon uses the CDC site to try to track rules for employee travel. It updates a couple times a week. Hope that that helps.

You are not likely to get much clarity. Celebrity does not operate shore excursions and many operators are new to Celebrity. Thus you email Celebrity, they email the operator of the tour, the operator may or may not understand the question and may or may not reply. That continues. I might call or book knowing I can cancel up to 48 hours before I cruise.

FBC is a consolidator. They put people into groups- thus the lower fares that are often available. There is a tradeoff for those fares in that you often cannot easily change them and they are not ticketed sometimes until final payment. With all the flight issues and multiple people having issues I wonder why people continue to fly this way. Airlines are in chaos today. The changes are not the fault of FBC. Just be sure you understand the terms 100% before you book. Good luck to the OP.

Was different in March as ships were about 1/2 full. Every cruise is different and with the price match policy gone for cruises booked lately few cabins for MoveUp seem likely. But you never know. The upgrade faity used to visit every few cruises.

Depending on the ship exactly the same or very similar physical cabin. You get extra afternoon canapés that we personally asked not to be delivered. The biggie is extra Captain's Club points if near the next tier. Best to go to the Celebrity website and exactly what is offered is listed there.

Sad but true.

Celebrity encourages refilling water bottles. Are you telling me I cannot bring a plastic bottle on board and refill it at one of the refilling stations?

And the cruises don't go to any of the 50 something countries including Canada that currently require testing.

Celebrity Air is a consolidator. There are dozens of threads about this. One of the reasons they can offer cheaper fares is they block out groups of seats. Sometimes you are not ticketed until after final payment. Some airlines allow you to select your seat immediately others including Air Canada not until final payment. If you are picky about your seat ABCelebrity might not work well for you.

I would suggest you check the ports Forum for the ports where you are looking for excursions. Tours by Locals almost always requires you to exit the secure port area. This distance varies with shuttles often provided to either town or to the port entrance. Shore excursions are in a constant state of change today with additions and deletions. There are always cancellations on shore excursions. Get on a waiting list.

Again await the rest of the details. AON is able to sell without restrictions in some 12 states. 37 more have various regulations imposed by the states. Residents of other countries have again very different rules. It is very complicated and would require a licensed insurance agent to determine eligibility (almost all are eligible). What likely happened is AON got the details and rejected same. Seems Celebrity should through their resolutions department provide an explanation and the opportunity to cancel at not cost. To the OP - Welcome to CC as a new poster. Let us know what happens.
