You never know what can delay boarding— a slower than usual disembarkation, bad weather, problems with customs and Immigration, or a raft other issues but you will probably be boarding around eleven as you predict only don’t be surprised if you are hung up in the terminal

Check the Mexican section and/or the Caesar salad section

You can go to your cabin and drop off your carry on an pick up your key lunch options vary by ship.

No but you can see your personal history of Captains Club points and the ones you have earned should show up there

Have you asked the F&B staff?

Not on shore…..

I bring an insulated water jug because I like icy cold water, and and I prefer not to use so many plastic bottles. Nothing to do with trying to cheat the system.

Some will fail to make Final Payment

Yes you can on Celebrity

Passport or whatever other identity documents you are using. Originals, not photocopies. Porters will make you luggage tags at the pier or you can print them out—your choice no need to print out rest of the edocs

I like them coffee at the buffet but no food after about midnight

Yes you can. Perhaps you are thinking of a different cruise line?

Hair dryers are NOT on the “do not bring list”. OP where did you hear otherwise unofficially? Here’s the FAQ

That works on some ships but not all. Meanwhile Because this gets asked so often I've compiled a list of things to spend OBC on. One thing I know of now that you CAN'T buy with OBC is a deposit on a Future Cruise. You need a credit card for that. Also, there may be some card game in the casino with a cash only buy-in. And if they do a fundraiser, like selling t-shirts to “save the reefs” and the like, expect to need cash for that. Otherwise, here you go: *Acupuncture *Airport transfers *Alcove Rental (some ships) *Apple products etc. and Ilo unge classes *Art Auction Purchases *Babysitting *Barber Shop services *Behind the Scenes Tours *Beverages -- Alcoholic, carbonated soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water — if not in your package, also beverages above your package limits *Bingo and Deal or No Deal *Bottles of wine *Casino *Chef’s Table *Corkage charged if you bring your own bottles of wine to the MDR *Duty free liquor and cigarettes *Extra cost entrees and other items in Main Dining Room and specialty restaurants *Extend Your Stay program *Fitness classes *Flowers *Gelato *Gift shop souvenirs, purses, watches, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc. *Gratuities, and extra gratuities *Guests dining with you in Luminae (applies to Suite Passengers only) *Guest entertainers' CD's and DVD's *Hair and nail salon *Hollywood hot glass experiences (some ships) *Internet if not in your package, also Internet upcharges *Laundry/pressing/drycleaning *Liquor Tasting events *Luggage Valet *Martini Flights *Medical Center purchases *Mini bar *Portrait photo sessions *Pay-per-view movies *Persian Gardens passes *Personal Training Sessions *Photos & cameras *Room service fees *Ryde spinning classes *Shore Excursions *Shuttle to town (some ports) *Spa -- massages and treatments *Specialty restaurants *Teeth Whitening *Telephone calls using ship's system *Transfer to another passenger's account *Voyage in Review DVD *Wine and liquor tastings *Zumba They will always use non-refundable OBC first, then refundable OBC, And if you run out of that then it goes on your credit card

Casinos don’t close during Federal holidays in the US

No charge for continental breakfast including coffee during breakfast hours outside of those hours there is a delivery charge order cappuccino and there is a charge even during breakfast hours

You will find yourself with a cancelled reservation so make whatever adjust you need to avoid this

Sorry this is unpredictable.

No it doesn’t. Blu is all open seating…no reservations…just show up

Well, you won’t be missing much. The chat function of the app is not very good.

The dinner menus will probably not reflect any local specialties, but it’s quite possible that you will see some interesting things on the Buffet at noon. I remember some delicious Portuguese specialties including unusual cheeses once sailing from Barcelona to Lisbon, and then into the transatlantic. There were local fish being served some days in the Mediterranean. Depending on the makeup of the passengers there might be rice, soup and other Asian foods at breakfast. But dinner menus are pretty well fixed.

They have different styles of service for different itineraries. Sometimes it is a Buffet, sometimes it is table service. When sailing out of the US, the table service is more common. Other itineraries typically have the buffet. Either way, they do not offer takeout service.

Here’s the menu, but I don’t know where you got the idea it was only two drinks per night.
