If you're asking about tender ports no, unless you are Elite and above. And that is even subject to change based on the CC concierge for that specific cruise for priority tendering. Priority disembarkation at the end of the cruise is a concierge class perk.
Depends on the CC concierge and the number of Elite, Elite Plus and Zenith onboard. On our March Apex cruise we had CC priority tendering. If the CC concierge is doing priority tendering for your cruise you'll receive a notice in your stateroom as far as times and the meeting place.
Whether we have TD or MTD we always go to the MDR when we first board the ship and search out a table for two in a location we like. Then we request that table with whoever is taking dining requests at that time. Our requests have always been honored.
On our March Apex cruise most nights we had our predinner drinks at the Martini Bar. We didn't sit at the bar but at one of the tables in that area. We ate at 6:PM each evening so we would be there at ~4:45 and leave ~5:45. Never had a problem with timely service or finding a table. Also each evening there was live musical entertainment while we were there. We did the Eden two evening. No where as many people.
I'm on the walking track NLT 6:AM and walk (cross between power and speed walker) for 1.5 hours. By 7:30 I'm gone as the track is getting way to crowded with all styles and those that don't know proper track etiquette. The best cruise ship track that I've ever walked was on Celebrity's Apex.
Agree about the mesh bags. You believe but don't know for sure. I don't either. It's only underwear and socks. No biggie. We aren't around when the bags are picked up and returned. Not worth my time questioning the staff about it. When we use to bring formal wear I would send my white dress shirts out to be washed and pressed and they never looked off color when returned. We'll continue separating the darks from the lights. Two bags why not.
We separate based on what we do at home. Most of our underwear and socks are dark. Few lighter colors (not white). Are you saying, you believe they wash all colors together?
I always carry our corkscrew in our checked luggage because we fly to all our embarkation ports. Part of our first aid kit. I've read on CC that some pack the corkscrew in their carry on as that's all they travel with(carry on). Your stateroom attendant can/will provide you with a corkscrew if you forget yours.
Any signage at the entrance of any venue that says something to the effect that's it's a elite, elite plus and zenith event. The elite and above continental breakfast is not held in the MDR or the Oceanview Cafe.
If we were to bring wine onboard at the embarkation terminal we would be using Celebrity's U.S. website as our guidance as of "last updated, January 2021". I take that as no changes have been made since then. Call Celebrity or if you booked thru a TA call them and have them call Celebrity for any additional guidance. Cheers. 🍷
