Booked it! Many thanks to those who helped with this decision...I'm excited to be a Princess cruise "returnee". 😀

1) Thank you tonit964, I didn't realize that this "Sky" cabin was essentially the same as the "Discovery" cabin, and the YouTube video you site is really nicely done. 2) Thank you, too, Snaxmuppet, my DH does a lot of editing, I'm sure he won't mind fixing the blue!

Thank you, Cruise Raider. I had hoped there would be a small window (unseen in photos) that might open. Maybe we'll book it anyway, the views look so inviting and unique.

Despite searching , and not having cruised Princess in some years, I have a couple of questions re these Discovery Window Suites S107, S108: 1)Is there a window that opens for fresh air? 2)Is there some serious negative about these suites? It seems odd that these 2 cabins are still available despite the cruise we are considering being less than 6 months away. They have no balcony, but we find we rarely use balconies anyway, except for fresh air and photos. Many thanks for any available info.

This was our first time buying Celebrity’s insurance…..sadly, I was feeling lazy so I just clicked on the insurance rather than using our usual company. The stress of Celebrity’s having deleted the insurance wasn’t worth the ease of my click! I ended up ultimately being charged 3x for the insurance and refunded twice. Never again!

Oh my! This happened to me, too. I received an email that I’d cancelled Cruise insurance and was told I did that on the date that I started the checkin for our Aug. 25 cruise. I didn’t see how I could have possibly made that error…fixing that got a bit cumbersome, I’ll skip those details, something about it was after final payment so they had to make special arrangements. Particularly upsetting because my husband was unexpectedly in the hospital at the time! Thank you for posting.

We’ve never been charged on Celebrity for the Bi-pap distilled water. Last Celebrity cruise was last summer, I doubt there has been a change.

My husband uses a bi-pap. Despite my requesting an extension cord and distilled water in advance, on board we’ve had to ask the attendant to supply both. But that’s always been done quickly, no problem. Also, I bring a couple of small battery candles so I’m reminded in the night that a lumpy cord is in my path.

Many thanks for the responses. sptrout, yes my husband uses a humidifier and it's a bi-pap, so I may have to skip the battery idea as I expect his machine uses too much power....the charger I was looking at is $400, maybe it's much $$ to experiment with. Mahdnc, I'd read in my searches about the magnetic ceiling hooks...very clever! Now, I just need to know if there's a plug behind the bed in the Sky Suite. I'm sure we could get cruise staff to pull the bed out for the European plug.

Can I assume that the Solstice Sky Suite will need to have a c-pap/bi-pap extention cord taped down? Or perhaps there is an outlet behind the bed which could be used with a European outlet? Our previous 3 cabins always felt "tacky" with the dirty taped extention cord. We're also considering purchasing a portable battery which could be charged at the desk during the day. Any info is appreciated!

This is SO helpful! Thank you! Seems you were a good sport about being selected for random testing. At least I have a plan in place for if this happens to us, tho I might not be quite so pleasant about it. 😀

Well, Ashland, THANK YOU so much for getting this 2nd ArriveCAN requirement clarified. Though I've followed (I thought) specific requirements and thought I understood everything, I hadn't noted that after arrival at an airport hotel I'll need to do the 2nd ArriveCAN. No one on the Celebrity boards has been talking of this, at least I hadn't seen it. Have a good cruise!

Again thank you all! Just spoke with Celebrity (NOT Customer Support, a different much faster number) and I'm told to try daily for an arrival time, more are released every day or two. Things sure have changed in the several years since our last Celebrity cruise!

Thanks all. I'm unsure whether I started out with the laptop or iPad, but switched mid-stream to i-phone because I used it for the Covid and Passport photos. Now I"m awaiting "Customer Support" but doubt I'll endure the long wait....

Thank you Canderson. Not a suite, it's Aqua 1....
