  1. My April 9 cruise is now showing as “red” to the booking agents I just spoke to today on Equinox. They said that means “charter”. Did all of the March cruises and the cruise are now chartered. I would feel a lot better if one of our knowledgeable Cruise Critic travel agents could do a little research into this please.
  2. The only reason that I know that it’s a good idea to have your luggage tags attached ahead of time is on the off chance that you’ve become separated from your luggage they know which ship you’re going it should be going to
  3. Is it possible to get this thread back to the topic of power up points? There is a lot of thread drift going on and anyone who wants to learn about power up points would appreciate staying on topic if possible
  4. ShelleyL, In asking for a “Compass” and “theme night” I think you are thinking of some line other than Celebrity.
  5. There are parts of Los Angeles and Miami that aren’t safe at all as well. Just sayin’
  6. Yes, juice is included at breakfast in the MDR. I have never tried to order juice at lunch or dinner in the MDR so I don’t know about those meals. I am pretty sure you can get lemonade for no extra charge of in the MdR at lunch and dinner — the same lemonade that is served from the dispensers in the buffet.
  7. About two weeks ago I had to go to office to meet with someone who said, please have a seat. I said, no — those chairs are too uncomfortable and I don’t think I can stand up after sitting in one because they are so low. He said. Went back today, there are new chairs. Wish Celebrity would do the same!
  8. Santorini has a dock and sometimes it is used to drop people off to start shore excursions.
  9. The mast Grill should be open. once in a while the Sushi place is open. other specialty restaurants, no. this is on M and S class ships. What you might find on an e class ship, I don’t know
  10. Infinite verandas have windows that can open. Sunset verandahs have balconies Porthole verandahs have balconies that are set in the hull like this
  11. Sorry I don’t know which ship this was but this is one of the forward facing cabins. And here was my view of a helicopter evacuation
  12. The ocean view forward facing cabins have more square footage, but no more furniture than any other ocean view room. The window is at a slant and if you walk toward it to check out the view of the helipad, as noted, beware of bumping your head. You might be asked to keep the curtains across the window at night so light coming from your room doesn’t interfere with the bridge. If you have a choice, choose the deck eight rooms rather than the deck seven rooms. The deck seven rooms are above the exterior door leading to the crew recreation area and the helipad. You may hear noise when that door slams shut
  13. Follow up. I just went to an upcoming reservation for which I have select dining, and it now has a checkbox for accepting the terms and conditions. I looked at the terms and conditions and this is what is there. I don’t remember ever seen such a thing before for select dining
  14. I just saw this in another thread. I haven’t seen it mentioned before. Has anyone gotten this message? Does it refer only to select dining no-shows or for fixed dining no-shows or is it a total mistake? What is going on? I assume that the poster meant that they had not encountered this on previous cruises.
  15. You need to make a phone call to do this. The website portal is not functioning at this time. Call Celebrity captains club
  16. No. And if anyone claims to have such a crystal ball, they are lying.
  17. The connections party never seems like an afterthought to me. Celebrity set up refreshments, and usually several officers attended. The number always depended on how many had signed up on Cruise Critic, and 100 attendees would be a typical group from my experience. When the Start up began, Celebrity was trying to discourage groups from getting together. The connections party with just one example. They also discouraged the veterans get together, the service group get together, even the friends of Bill. Now that groups are once again allowed, the ships are shortstaffed and devoting a couple of staff members to setting up and cleaning up the connections party isn’t happening now. I think once the ships are back to full staffing, we will see the connections party return.
  18. I very much doubt they would make you move. You are already in a double occupancy Stateroom that happens to be able to be able to handle another person.
  19. Other than the seven night cruise to Alaska, you won’t often find a beyond the podium speaker on a seven night cruise. They need two or three or even four sea days to book speakers. So usually you find them on repositioning cruises, trans oceanic cruises, longer South America Cruises, and so forth
  20. I get the same message. I will give it a couple of days and try again later and meanwhile I will see if there is a way to do it at a website without using the app
  21. I agree that you will probably need to upgrade to the premium for Wi-Fi calling to work. I have found it to be a very good and reliable way to keep in touch with people and seldom have any difficulties with it. That being said I would be hesitant to tell anyone that I will call every day at a specific time because that might be a moment where the Internet is not working. So rather than saying “I’ll call you every day at 10” I would recommend that he say “I will call you every day at some point during the day “
  22. On board. Tell the stateroom attendant what night you want it and they will chill it for you and bring champagne flutes
