I think that the OPP is asking about luggage valet from Fort Lauderdale and would be flying to Seattle. From Fort Lauderdale it is likely that you will have luggage valet. Unless it is the transatlantic arrival.  They have not set it up on that arrival yet. But on the subsequent Cruises, you it is likely that you would have. 
 

there are time restrictions and your flight cannot leave too early.

Hi

We are sailing on the Solstice in May in Alaska. Some of the port days are long, which is great to explore. If we get back on the ship after our early dining time, can we go to the MDR later? I know that the buffet is an option. 

Thank you!

All you can do is try and if it is too late, they will direct you to the buffet.  Remember that your table will be needed for those who have late seating so it is quite possible that it won’t be available to you

But no sky lounge, so no forward facing viewing lounge.

it’s the difference between “we’re coming up on a lovely waterfall so get your cameras ready” and “ we just passed the waterfall, hope you got to see it”

all that to say I still maintain that despite multiple threads that may occur, it’s impossible to see them all unless one monitors these boards 24/7. I made a post the other day and was told it was old news. But if wasn’t to me and possibly wasn’t to others either. Not trying to be argumentative, I just think there’s enough room on these boards to unwittingly repeat a topic and still attract new eyes. 
 

 

 

It’s impossible to See all the threads, but that’s what the “search” feature is for.

The infinite verandahs are not balcony staterooms.  Instead of verandas you will have a window that opens.  And when open, the room A/C shuts off.  Bottom picture is a standard verandah like you find on S class ship.  Top is an IV.  With an IV you are never “outside”

Not necessarily.  

and you really can’t compare across cruise lines and itineraries.

But in general, I would say that passengers on Celebrity tend to stick to the dress code no matter where in the world the ship is

You have probably left it too late😢

Follow the instructions😀

You could book a C1 and pay for a C2 (Concierge), or a higher lever veranda and pay at the rate just below what you booked. It does not apply to Aqua Class or Suites. You have to request it at the time of booking.

It does apply to Aqua per the chart A2 —-> A1

Hints and tips in this thread

a search will pull up other threads as well

 To the best of my knowledge and experiences, Luggage Valet, has only ever been offered in Fort Lauderdal and Seattle. 

 

And Miami but not cape Liberty

Thanks so much wrk2cruise - that was my assumption as well but when I went to Guest Relations I was told gratuities are different to service charges, so I left confused! 

 

He did say he could remove the charge from my account, and we could then pay gratuities as we saw fit, but I am not wanting to see the very dedicated staff miss out if the gratuities don't come to them to some source.

You are Aussies and presumably booked from home as such, but where are you sailing?

Different locations on different ships. Consult the paper that you will get in your state room on arrival day for the time and dates. Currently on silhouette it is 8 to 10 every morning in Tuscan Grill.

Drop your bags in your room and get your SeaPass card there

Does this perk also apply to the Second Al Bacio in the Oceanview Cafe on the S and E class ships?

You must’ve been posting simultaneously because the post above yours answers that

Yes Cafe Al Bacio

no limit

Is Capt Kirk still onboard? Think I read he was off to Reflection? Looking forward to following your crossing. I am due on the return leg in November.

He is not on board

 And often the waiter will just look at your card, but remember that it only shows the last three digits of your room number so then they will ask you what floor it is on or what is the complete number.

You definitely TAP your card on leaving the ship and reboarding.  It can’t be in a wallet for that.

Look at this thread. The first post has the form that the passenger received and yes, 10:30 is too early.  All the luggage requirements are here.

Whether or not you have a luggage fee from your airline, there is a cost payable to Celebrity of $29 per person for luggage valet service.

a 10:30 AM flight is on the early side. If you have no luggage to check and can go directly to the tsa lines obviously that will save some time.  Exactly how much is hard to predict.

I’ve been to HK and Singapore before but looking at a December cruise between the two that takes in various stops in Vietnam and Thailand. Whilst I’m happy with all the destinations being suitable for our daughter, I just wonder if there’s many children onboard those type of cruises? It will be around school holidays as it’s in December.

 

Also we’re both diamond on RC so get 4 free drinks a day, is that transferable to Celebrity? I seem to think it is and may well have asked before but can’t recall.

 

Many thanks.

 How old is the child?

Royal and Celebrity do their drinks offer differently.  Royal diamond gives you four drinks at nearly any location all day long, Celebrity elite has a 5 to 7 PM unlimited drinks plan good at nearly any bar.

I guess I might be safest to just hang out at the Disney terminal and not call an Uber until I think Celebrity will allow me to enter the terminal. 

Every terminal is different, of course but I doubt if there’s anywhere you can “hang out” at inside the Disney terminal. They generally shoo you out of the terminal buildings as quickly as possible with a “move along please”.  There are no facilities or waiting areas for departing passengers indoors.

Yes that’s the way it works.
