HThis is the third or fourth time that I have seen mention that things are not being done on Apex which are being done on the other ships.hmmmmmmm?

Three people with luggage and 4 PM flights from Fort Lauderdale. Any ideas what to do from disembarkation time to airport check-in time?

On embarkation day it is only open for concierge class passengers and back to back passengers and zeniths. Otherwise, it will be open for lunch on Sea days, but closed on port days at lunch

Yes I asked the waiter last night and was told no. will try asking a higher up tomorrow night.

It’s going to happen again tomorrow in Grand Caymen

They do still reference power up points on their website. But maybe the person who was supposed to remove it, has also been cut back😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Currently on Equinox and very pleased. I have the upgraded plan. No issues at all.

Perhaps the pool grill?

It is confusing because you are elite (compliments of Royal reciprocity) and you are working toward it so you can continue on from there and work toward Elite Plus

You have the elite status due to a courtesy enrollment crossover from Royal. But the points start back at zero as far as Celebrity goes. While you are earning points on Celebrity, you will keep that elite status and only after you have enough celebrity points will you start to work toward elite plus status. The reciprocity match only goes as high as elite/diamond. Even if you would have enough oil points to be diamond plus, the reciprocity match would only get you elite status on Celebrity ??

I would look first to the Pool Bar and the bars at Oceanview Cafe. They are likely to be the first ones open on your arrival on the ship.

The same has happened in France for years and I don’t see people avoiding cruises that go to France. Perhaps they are and I’m just not aware of it.

I hope you will write a letter to Celebrity explaining what you have done and why. They need to know the reasons behind switches like yours, in order to understand that their decisions definitely have created consequences

The Points Guy covered the new fee for room service earlier this month

You can’t depart any later than anyone else, and you can’t board any earlier either. You can be the last off, that’s pretty easy to arrange, which would be about 930. But there will still be a lag before you can get on the second ship.

I believe that some things have been covered in the “cruise news” I read on Apple news. I seem to remember the charge for the second lobster being featured in a new story. And I think there have been other things there as well.

Currently on EQ and it isn’t on the kids menu but I will ask tonight at dinner if it is still available

That was never the case. AFAIK. I am afraid you were misled, but it all came out OK, I take it. Aqua class is limited to two passengers per state room. But there have been many single parents who brought one child with him over the years.

Luggage Valet is not offered on Celebrity except in Seattle

No I think it’s a very different principle. It had to be paid by every passenger no matter the nationality, for one thing.

While Cruise Critic is a wonderful site, postings here can’t fix things like this. The only way to get it fixed is to give immediate feedback while you are on the ship, to a supervisor, who can work with the crew members who may not be doing their jobs effectively. It may require reassigning a crew member, or giving them additional training. Coming home and writing about it isn’t going to make any difference to the crew’s behavior on the ship. We all love to vent, but it won’t effect any change to write about it here.

Yes, It had to be paid by Each Passenger on their credit card. Not refundable. So if the ship didn’t make it to that port for some reason, tough. There was lots of discussion about it back in October when the repositioning cruise from Boston to Florida stopped there. It wasn’t even a multi day stop, and a lot of passengers didn’t see the point of going to Shore for so few hours, especially when the ferry wasn’t even running.

M and S class ships only, AFAIK
