No not always. I am currently on silhouette back back from the transatlantic to Norway. They were 300 back-to-back guests, we were told that we would overwhelm the dining room and the B2B were not invited to the lunch yesterday. wow, they are having a special cocktail party for B2B passengers. Not quite a one-for-one experience but it is something.

If there is not a kettle, request one when sailing out of Southampton. If there is not a hairdryer, request one. And sailing out of Southampton, your drinks will include the gratuity.

To be complete, whenever lunch is served in the main dining room, it is always a limited menu and always limited hours

No only to Concierge and Zenith and sometimes consecutive cruisers but not Aqua

I do not wish to hijack this thread, but I wish to point out that the cruise line does not necessarily refund port fees for missed ports. It’s a complicated issue. Port fees go up and down. The fee for one port may go up. If another port is missed, that money might be applied to that increase rather than refunded. There are other complications which might come into it to, including the day you booked and your nationality.

Unless there will be different menus for sailings out of Southampton, and I assume there will be. For those sailings, the price will be inclusive of the gratuity.

Yes. That price is what would be paid. I think the decision was that if a glass of wine cost $27 they will list it as $10 so you don’t have to do the subtraction of 27-17.

Big whoops on the date but this was NOT from the sundeck. It was the Retreat Lounge. I will see if I can get the moderator to fix the date

Yes that water is potable

In the oceanview Café (Buffet), there are water dispensers. They ask that you not put your personal water bottles under the spigots. Instead, fill one of their glasses and then transfer to your water bottle. This avoids the possibility of having your water bottle touch the spigot and possibly contaminate it

Yes there are. I am on one this coming spring. It circles Japan and also visits one port in S. Korea. But there may not be much availability of cabins left at this time. and there may not be any that only the Japan without that South Korea stop

I have sent the mid-cruise survey in to compliment specific workers and I have been told that one of the things they get are “scratchers”—-scratch-off cards that contain various rewards and gifts. One crewmember saw me later and said that he got extra Wi-Fi on his card.

I am currently on silhouette and I also have not seen a laundry bag special on this sailing.

I’m on one starting day after tomorrow on Sillhouette

We have eyewitnesses posting here in Cruise Critic

I’m still confused. Say you have a Venetian number and you are going to cruise on Celebrity. What level would you be? What would it get you!

What would your Captain’s Club status have gotten you?

Since none of us know her, I’m not sure we can answer, but there are plenty of daily activities pages from Celebrity Cruises that you she can look at online and make a determination.

Many thanks!

There is a big difference between a front facing view. “there’s a lovely waterfall up ahead, get your cameras ready. “ and a rear facing view “ we just passed a waterfall, hope you got to see it”

There are no front facing public rooms on any of the E class ships

Probably not but it doesn’t hurt to ask

Have you been on during Christmas or Easter? That’s when Celebrity bring clergy on board.
