Also, when there is a 'sale', the price of purchasing two "One Device One Person" packages can be less than the two device option you are looking at.

Yes, two people can use the 2 device 1 person plan. You sign in using the plan's password that you have chosen. You can communicate with another person through the Celebrity app.

Consider yourself fortunate. I was in the Caribbean and no photos could be sent on the Basic Plan. I had to use my Premium minutes.

I recall the cooking demonstration classes that were held in the Grand Foyer. Recipes were passed out at the end and you got to sample the dishes. Miss those. When I came home, I made one of the recipes: Creme Brule. It came out really good. I also got some great tips from cooking my meal at the Lawn Club. Did that twice before the changes.

Some cruisers just don't show consideration to the hard working employees who have to get rooms ready for the next cruise.

We were able to move to a different category but did not receive a refund. I had to call.

We have found the Reflection as feeling more crowded. It was especially noticeable in Blu. Longer waits for service to such a degree that we walked out twice. As mentioned, the reduction in the size of the Sky Lounge was disappointing.

Add the last sea day to that when they have this special lunch at the Oceanview. On those days, the behavior of some cruisers is just sad. Hygiene issues, cutting in line, etc.

I had spent a good deal of time making reservations at the various MDRs on E class. When we arrived, we were told it was Anytime Dining. It was good to know but frustrating that I had spent all that time trying to plan when it was not needed. Just show up where and when you want to.

Raw on 5 was open on embarkation day on the Ascent. The others you refer to were closed.

I second Le Grand Bistro for lunch. Very good food and you avoid the feeding frenzy. You also have the Mast Grill and Raw on 5.

I am able to get my status discount on dining. The only problem is that it is for Fine Cut at 12 noon when it is not open. Go figure.

Yes, the San Pellegrino lemon drink is available as well as the virgin drinks you mentioned. Soft drinks are from the Coca Cola line and include root beer, Sprite and ginger ale.

Yes, slippers are provided in Concierge. Also, robes are provided and the robes are NOT petit sizes. Fit us just fine. I am 5 feet 10 inches and weight 190 and it fit nicely.

Restaurants opened at 5:30 pm on our Beyond Cruise. Shows were at 7:30 and 9:30 pm. There are themed dinners up in the OceanView. Mexican night, Great Britain night, Italian night, etc. You may get some noise from the buffet above you.

In addition, you may get a card in your room with an assigned MDR and suggested time to arrive. Ignore and go where and when you desire.

On the Ascent recently, the times were 7:30 and 9:30 p,m in the main theater nightly.

Take along a set of noise cancelling headphones. Been on Beyond but lucked out as we had a quiet room. But others we met lost sleep.

Do you have to tip on cruises leaving from Southampton?

On the first day when you board, they were offering guided tours of the facilities of the spa. The sequence of using the rooms of the Thermal Suite was explained. It was well worth the time to gain a better understanding of all of the rooms.

Are you referring to Specialty Restaurants? Then the answer is 'YES' if you are using Celebrity OBC or if you are paying by credit card. As for the MDRs, it is Anytime Dining. Just show up to whatever dining room when you want to.

When we sailed in Alaska, there was a posted dress code in the daily. It said. 'Long sleeved dress shirts'. I only brought one long sleeved shirt. I was worried when I wore a short sleeved shirt- but not a problem. I felt relieved when upon entering the dining room, it looked like a lumberjack convention going on. No utility belts though. No offense intended to all you lumberjacks or those aspiring to be lumberjacks.......

Be advised that there are NO Specialty Dining benefits for Elites. However, there is 15% discount for Elite PLUS members. That is a different tier. You may have been given some incorrect info.

Also, many zeniths are hooked on Celebrity and no need to get feedback from them. Many are guaranteed bookings. But I think it is more related to numbers.

Most are told to wear long pants if they arrive to eat dinner in Blu. You can wear a baseball cap and sad looking jeans and get seated. Go figure....
