We had to book day 9 out of 12 to get our time in Eden. Plus booking in advance the gratuity was included in the price paid.

We are sailing APEX to Scandinavia next month and have pre-booked dinner at Eden. The final price included gratuity, so am I correct that nothing further needs to be paid after dinner?

It would seem you had a bad sommelier, or they were out of a product. The app for the MDR on Reflection on the current cruise shows a Moscato in the classic package for $10. It's hard to imagine it wasn't on a recent sailing. That's a common, inexpensive wine that almost everyone would carry.

 

Honestly, they show 9 white & rose wines by the glass in the classic package in the Reflection MDR and another 9 premium package wines. I'm not saying they're great wines, but 18 white and rose wines by the glass is a heck of an offering! It's actually several more than I thought they offered!

Could I see a screenshot. Thanks

Recently my husband and I were on the Reflection with a classic package. Our taste in wine is not cultivated, however we do like a Moscato. I asked the sommelier if it was available. He said no, we would have to buy it by the bottle (price unknown). We politely declined to add more money to the price we paid for the package. Just wishing the selection would grow just a little.

Just off Reflection ABC’s cruise, and it was wonderful 🛳🛳🛳

OK how many have booked the inaugural cruise for the XCEL. US👍🏼👍🏼

Hello,  I was just wondering if you still have your booking from Vancouver to Los Angeles.   We want to do the Coastal followed by the Panama Canal like you but still can't find the coast trip on 13 September 2024. Thanks for the help!

Never did see it online, but our Travel Agent found it. I would suggest calling the Captains Club number 844-418-6824, they are usually very helpful, and hope to see you onboard.

Sounds good, but not seeing that cruise on Celebrity's website.

 

We've got an Alaska Dawes Glacier cruise 13 September 2024 on the Edge out of Seattle and returning to Vancouver.  

For some reason it’s not listing, but out travel agent found it.

Agree. We're doing a Pacific Coastal 8 October 2023 on the Eclipse. Didn't realize nothing for 2024. 

We are doing

b2b with a Panama Canal on the Summit.

We are going in January 🛳🛳🛳

I do believe Celebrity is a premium brand, but I also believe they are trying to appeal to a younger family demographic. As we got older we moved away from RCCL and the amusement park atmosphere. Hope Celebrity can find a good middle ground. 

It’s the reason we book Aqua .

I find it a cheapening of the experience, even while they continue to raise the daily gratuities fee. We have always added extra for our room steward and our restaurant staff, but when I am being charged over 300 in crew gratuities, the word gratuities looses its meaning and we become someone forced to offset Celebrity’s labor costs. Our extras will also disappear.

Great find! I wonder why Infinity isn't scheduled to get it until Jan. 2024.

That’s the day we get off the TA…maybe they will introduce it🤞🏼🤞🏼

Did the Magic Carpet have a specialty restaurant, or only extra Raw on 5?

I just have one question, as the price that the cruise lines say are gratuities continues to rise, are we still supposed to tip extra to our room steward, restaurant waiter and sommelier. Gratuities were added to our speciality dining package. Who gets that, and do we leave an extra 20 for our speciality waiter? We do as they perform services for us, but I think there will come a time that all has to be included into the set gratuity.I have never seen a breakdown of who gets what?

No snow those months, but it will still be frigid. And if it's windy, it will be freezing (literally lol). Pack up the layers. You won't be disappointed you brought them.

Are you doing the one with the bike ride back down the mountain?  We did this and it is one of my favorite excursions ever.  Watching the sunrise while you are above the clouds is truly a unique experience and the 26 mile bike ride down to the coast was really nice--we removed layers as we would stop at different scenic views on the way down.

No just a tour ride up and ride down

Does anyone know if Celebrity keeps tenders running all night when they overnight in Maui. We are booked for a Haleakala Sunrise with pickup at 2:30AM. Many thanks.

On APEX, will they punch a hole in your key card to attach to a lanyard? Thanks.

My husband could not use a carry-on for an overnight stay🧳🧳🧳🧳🧳

Hi: we are on the Apex in October and have purchased the 5 night speciality dining package. Does this include dining at Eden, Magic Carpet and Raw on 5?

We have purchased a multi-night dinner package on the APEX,  however I See that Sushi on 5 is A-LA-CARTE. How does that work?

I am still a believer in masking in crowds,  one of the few in our supermarket. However, I believe that a Covid test is still only a snapshot at that time. For our upcoming cruise in October we will test Saturday morning. We will then take 3 flights to get to Rome, a car ride with a stranger to Civitavecchia, overnight in a hotel and at least 2 restaurants, and that’s before we get on our b2b. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
