  1. interesting. I wonder if that means Celebrity is going to move another ship to do S America.
  2. It does seem like the PUP earning opportunities have tailed off this year. I looked back at my earnings history and compiled this table to see for myself:
  3. My Club Point total has advanced by one! I can now go about with my work day!
  4. We typically book out about 2 years in advance (when the schedules are first released) because we have a specific cruise date, ship, and cabin in mind.
  5. When mentioning that during the call he also added that he wants to reduce that value gap between land vacation cost and cruises so that it is closer to the pre-pandemic days. My guess is that he is not going to work on reducing land vacation prices....
  6. The second bedroom has a single bed on the floor and a bunk bed that folds out of the wall above it. The main living area has a couch. The same standard couch that is in the veranda cabins. Solstice FV 8107, Dec 2019 Reflection FV 8107, Jan 2019
  7. Our young adult kids (daughter and son) have slept on the couch and the lower bunk bed in 8107 and 8108 (family cabins) on Solstice, Eclipse, and Reflection. They found it to be pretty comfortable. Our furniture may be a little different than what you are looking at.
  8. It still appears that the EU will be implementing the ETIAS requirement next year. You will be doing it online and it will cost 7 Euros. Authorization is supposed to be pretty quick. It sounds similar to the e-visa application that we had to make to travel to Australia and New Zealand. I don't think it will be a big deal--you just have to remember to do it.
  9. That technology has been available for quite some time now. You would think that Celebrity would make use of it.
  10. I think you are quite correct. If pricing was on a need-driven basis, I shudder to think what kind of prices and fees that Celebrity Space Cruises would have 100 years from now.
  11. For a long time I have found when placing an order through the phone that Celebrity's calculation of the stacked discount Wi-Fi price differs from mine. Every time I ask for a breakdown on how they calculated it I get an answer that I don't quite understand and I realize that they would have to resort to using hand puppets to explain it to me. Fortunately their method yields a lower price than my way although I have to fight my engineer's urge to be right when I conclude the call.
  12. Our best experiences were at: 1. Olympic 2. Normandie 3. SS United States Never had a chance to dine at Ocean Liners.
  13. It's a reference to either indoor plumbing or an Elite perk that I've never had.
  14. I don't think holding future Celebrity bookings over their heads would make much difference or this problem would have been solved a long time ago.
  15. I presume you are trying to cancel this by going to your order history, pick out the specific order, and then clicking on "Cancel" (which yields the screenshot below)? There is no name removal that I am aware of.
  16. Lol. That happened to me as well on my last cruise (Oct 2022 Constellation). It was our first cruise since the COVID shutdown and so I was out of practice--I forgot to ask for a second lobster tail during the sailing's last evening chic night. I remembered it only after the waiter had finished taking our large table's order, walked away, and was gone. I didn't want to chase him down, so I figured "oh well". But, as you said, our waiter actually showed up with a second lobster tail for all the people at our table who ordered lobster for their dinner. It was a smart thing for him to do near the end of the cruise.
  17. I think you are saying that you don't have the Guest Ticket Booklet? It should be among the online cruise docs that are available for download. It is possible that this doc appears later like a month before your sailing date--so that would be on Aug 10.
  18. I will answer what I know off the top of my head: 1. luggage tags are usually on the last page of your Guest Ticket Booklet 2. I don't think Elites get free bottles of water 3. You will find that magnets will stick to the cabin doors, walls and ceiling. 4. Printed express pass is sufficient in lieu of the app. One time I was able to board with neither the app nor the express pass (not recommended). I hope you find your first Celebrity cruise an enjoyable one.
  19. During one of my Celebrity cruises some 20 years ago, I ordered a second lobster tail and I apologized to the Assistant Maitre d' because he was having to take the tail meat out of the shell twice. His response was very gracious of course as he told me it was not a problem. He then mentioned that there was a passenger that evening that had ordered 8 lobster tails....
  20. There is a publicly accessible information website that is actively maintained by Celebrity: TheCelebrityCommitment.com The website is intended for those in the travel trade which includes travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers, online retailers, etc (I am neither). The website is chock full of information It includes flyers such as the one that I just posted. The only problem with it is that it is cumbersome to wade through all the information and there is no easy way to tell if something is new since you last visited the site. Nevertheless, I am sure you will like it.
  21. Here is the flyer for the Flash Sale. There is nothing that says the sale is limited to certain ships. However it also doesn't mention that the sale is restricted to aby geographic region like the United States.
  22. Yes, I totally understand what you are saying. I guess it is because the Upgrade 2 Device option (2nd option in your post) does not have the flash sale discount.
  23. Yes, you are quite right. It has been noticed by others.
  24. I apologize, but I did not completely understand your question--or maybe it is better to say I didn't know exactly which question you were asking. For two passengers, you have these options to connect to the internet: 1. Buy a single device package and share that between the two passengers. Only one passenger can be on at a time and they will use the same login ID to access the internet. The system is smart enough to detect if a second user is logging in to use the internet in which case it will give the second user a warning message that if the login is completed, it will log the other user off. In that situation, the system is not polite enough to warn the first user that they have been kicked off the internet by the second user. The internet just stops working for the first user. Early on, my family of 4 would share one package leading to, "Mom/Dad, can I have the internet?". Or sometimes they just took it. 2. Buy a single device package for each person (a total of 2 packages for a total of 2 people). Both passengers can be online at the same time. Each passenger has their own login ID to access the internet with. 3. Buy a two device package for one passenger only. Both passengers can be online at the same time. Each passenger uses the same login ID but the system will allow two devices to access the internet simultaneously through that login ID. In my experience, option #3 is slightly cheaper than option #2 even though they are essentially equivalent. And of course, option #1 is cheaper than both #2 and #3--but you get less for it. I hope somewhere in there, I answered your question!
