It is confusing. You have run into an artefact of the Celebrity booking system. It makes it look like you can reserve dining times in Trellis but you actually can’t. If you are in Aqua class your dining room is Blu, not Trellis. Just ignore any references to Trellis.
as to Blu, it does not take reservations. It is walk-in only.
I have never seen the list to be delivered to the cabin. It is however, available at all of the bars which do the happy hour almost every bar does it except for the world class bar and perhaps one or two others on a ship. Your instructions will be in the state room. Here is the menu.
They have it but not on the embarkation night. And never was.
so the Captains Welcome never had anything to do with not having the Happy Hour on embarkation night
The OP is OK because there are two different ships, and a day in between. So it is not a back to back situation.
but your general statement about back to back’s being OK is too broad.
No, this would not be OK because you are on one ship going from one US port to another, and a Canada stop in between does not satisfy the PVSA. If you are on two different ships, only then you would be fine.
Both Ensenada and Vancouver are foreign ports. Neither one is a distant foreign port the law differentiates between ordinary foreign ports and distant foreign ports. But in the scenario you proposed, the PVSA does not come into account at all, because you were on two different ships with a days break in between.
I feel very bad for these ladies, if it happened as reported, but I am curious how someone who has cruised enough of Celebrity to become elite was unaware of the size of the state room that was booked?
