Already briefly mentionend here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2960513-basic-wifi-package-cost/ For what it's worth; I booked a Cruise Only yesterday and I can confirm that no Basic Wifi option was available as package, only Premium Wifi. It seems that things changed when Starlink entered the Celebrity-fleet 🙂 More info here: https://www.celebritycruises.com/faqs/wifi-onboard

Haha, nice! Happy to help you out! I was walking around with I think 2kg of coins on the first day of the cruise 😂

Thanks for all the tips here for solo travellers! 🙂 🙋‍♂️ 1. For what it's worth, it really does make a difference in pricing if you book via the US/UK/EUR-website. I checked an Alaska cruise for 2 persons, including taxes, cruise-only, concierge class: (All prices converted to USD, total pricess) US: 2135 USD UK: 2400 USD EUR: 2320 USD 2. As a solo traveller I am willing to pay a bit more, but 200% is crazy. So, let's say I book a stateroom (cruise-only) for me and John Doe. John doens't show up, taxes are refunded. But I want to buy a drinking package in advance. Celebrity FAQ says that all persons of legal drinking age in the stateroom must buy a package. Preferably I only want to buy myself a Premium Package (heavy drinker) and nothing for John ;). But that doesn't seem to work. Is the only work around here to get a Zero-Package for John and simply 'lose' that money? Any other creative ideas are more than welcome 🙂

Back from the cruise and I feel I need to give you an update/confirmation 😉 There are two ATM's in the casino to withdraw money, one in USD, one in EUR. At the cashier desk they indeed do take coins, but only in USD. I was expecting to get the coins converted into casino credit, but they were low on coins, so cashier seemed pretty happy with me, and offered banknotes bak. Eventually I managed to exchange coins into 45 USD banknotes 🙂

Just arrived back home after an 8-day Barcelona-Rome Med Cruise. There were two Production Shows, something called "Circles" I believe. I was op Apex last year and it looked a bit their 'Tree of Life' show. Kind of 'Cirque du Soleil'. And there was some sort Disco/Back to Motown/Diva music show. There was a comedian called 'Al Ducharme' which I really like. He did two shows. There was a cover song singer Andrew Derbyshire who did great covers of Queen and George Michael for example. And there was a Rock-cover singer Salvatore Hasard. | am a great music fan, so I prefered the music shows. The Circle-show was nice, but simply not my cup of tea. I was on MSC World Europa last year and on that ship there was almost no live music. That's why I really like Celebrity, they really have live music in de Martini Bar, Eden, The Theatre (and sometimes even in the Club). I spent every night in the Theatre. There is a 0730 pm show, generally about 50-60% full, and a 0930 pm show, generally 80% full. Just one night it was 100% full.

Indeed, if Celebrity booked your flight AND transfer from the cruise terminal to BCN airport, you have nothing to worry about. I arrived end of April in BCN after a cruise with MSC World Europa. We docked at 0600hrs, allowed to disembark 0700hrs, but I was allowed to stay in the room until 0900hrs. I did self-disembarking (at 0900hrs) and took a cab in front of the terminal (about 30 EUR for 1 person), I was at check-in at about 09:45hrs. I had a flight at 1300hrs. Ergo; you shouldn't worry. For other future cruisers: Keep in mind that BCN is a pretty big cruise terminal, with 4 cruise ships to dock at the same time. If you are unlucky and 4 ships disembark at the same time, you should really really book a transfer to the airport in advance. So if you are able to disembark at 0700hrs and book a transfer in advance, a 1000hrs flight departure wouldn't be a problem.

Great! Thanks for the swift answers! Let's try my luck next month on the Edge ;)

Hey guys, Maybe a very stupid question, but does anyone know if the cashier at the casino of Celebrity Edge accepts coins? I know from my cruise with Apex last year that the cashier accepts EUR and USD banknotes, however, I am not aware if they accept coins. As a European, I have a lot of USD-coins left from previous trips, but coins are hard to exchange in Europe. So I was wondering if I could burn some USD-coins at the cashier in exchange for some play money 🙂
