I'm just watching a talk that James gave (July 2022) and he did mention that he tracks the RCG's 60 ships. RCI only has 24 ships so he must provide (maybe not directly) forecasts and advisements to Celebrity and others. 

I am cruising on the Beyond this Sunday and as I am an amateur meteorologist I was checking the weather and sea states. It looks like there are some rough seas around the South East of Florida and the Bahamas. 

I then watched James Van Fleet (Chief Meteorologist for Royal Caribbean / Celerity) on his Twitter and he also has concerns. It may only affect Saturday but there may be fallout.

Can I ask where the Beyond was sailing when this menu was available?

I'm asking because many, many drinks are above the Premium limit so I wondered if the ship is in Australia or the UK where gratuities are included in the price.

This is directly from the app for my upcoming sailing on Feb 5th. 

One thing that bothered me was that I could only find the Drinks menus on the app. So I took things in my own hands and screen grabbed all of them an uploaded to a Google Doc. 

Please feel free to share this.

Perfect.... Question answered.

Does anyone know the dimension of the shower in Aquaclass on Celebrity Beyond? I know it is a corner shower with a rounded door and from pictures, it looks around 4' x 4' but what I am wondering is how tall it is.

I remember when I was on Disney ships the height was not full height. 

Asking for friend who is 6'4" and traveling with us.

how much salt will you need

Yeah, I forgot how much salt you need... In my mind, I was thinking of a teaspoon, but in reality, it's more like a 1/2 cup. 

I will probably just put them in the ice bucket for the day and hope they get cold enough (which they should).

At the end of the night, I will put them in the fridge so that they stay "cool"

The way I was thinking of "freezing my stones is similar to making Ice Cream by adding salt to the ice in a bucket and putting stones in a ziplock bag.

ask for it neat and a "second glass".  Add your whiskey stones and transfer your drink.

That's what I was thinking. 

OK here are my questions. 

1. When drinking things like Bourbon / Whiskey are they able to serve it with a sphere / single 2"x2" cube. 
2. If #1 is a no will they serve it over my own Whiskey Stones?

Please do not judge but I don't like watery drinks. 

I love cocktails and I have not found many of my favorites on the menus. If I wanted to order one, how does the charge work? 

Here is an example. A Bourbon Sidecar

• Bourbon whiskey (could be Jim Beam which is in the Classic Package)
• Cointreau (exists in the Premium Package)
• Lemon juice

My guess is it would be $15 (like a Martini) due to having Cointreau in it and ignoring that I want the "cheap" booze.

Does anyone have insight on this?

Thoughts and prayers

I just got one of my tablets and sideloaded it with no issues. It looks great on a big screen.

Thanks, I'll do that. I don't know why that didn't occur to me!

One more cut back by Celebrity Corporate, next will the wi-fi only work on phones and not laptops and tablets?

It does not cost more to publish to both but it would come down to testing. I work in IT and when we publish a new app we get everyone possible to test as there are so many flavors out there. 

This is an android problem only. Just think of how many different devices there are but with apple they are all the same.

How do you side load?

I would search YouTube / Google for - How to sideload apps on an android tablet

You need to jump thru a few hoops but it is possible. 

If you know a techy person you could side-load the app on the tablet.

I have loaded many things that were designed for the phone platform and installed them on android devices that say it is not supported. 

Thanks for doing this, with all the changes "rumored and true" it will be great to hear about it 1st hand. 

We are on the Beyond Feb 5th. 

I was just looking at the bar menus on the app and noticed that some drinks are listed as Premium but only $10. If I wanted Baileys on the rocks it would be $10 and on the disclaimer on comparison it says "Includes drinks up to $10." So would this be included in the Classic Package?

What sort of over the counter medications are available onboard. My wife has heard that there is very little if not any available. 

Examples:

• After sun lotion
• Allergy (Benedryl)
• Lip Balm
• Lubricating Eye drops
• Aspirin/Advil
• Tums

My Check-in date is coming up on the 22nd and I was wondering aside from my passport info is there anything else that I will need?

Also what time am I able to start the Online Check-in (midnight, 8am...) and does it affect what time you get to board (like it does on Disney)?

Yeah - I signed up and it is really not worth bothering with.  Agree with @patty1955 - like a really badly designed game.

The concept is cool, but it is really clunky. 

@lexmiller I was wondering if you know about the fitness classes that are included with AquaClass. I am most interested in F45 (it is normally at 9:30am), is this included? Aside from signing up are there things needed?

@Stealthdog I was wondering if you could find out (don't go out of your way) about the fitness classes that are included with AquaClass. I am most interested in F45 (it is normally at 9:30am), is this included? Aside from signing up are there things needed?

Cheers.

@Stealthdog how are the seas, I see they are a bit rough at 9' / 13 seconds?
