Anytime time and traditional dining are in separate areas or floors of the dining room. If you show up at 6 you won’t be waiting for those with traditional dining to be seated, just in line with others with Anytime dining.

The Classic includes Premium Coffees, see below link https://www.celebritycruises.com/things-to-do-onboard/onboard-packages/beverage-packages/compare-packages

We have only done Alaska once and I can’t remember the latest departure time. Other itineraries where we have done B2Bs the non B2B passengers have been offf at 9 and B2Bers at 9:15.

Didn’t get the email for this one and the link isn’t working. Hope I get the post live link to watch. Within striking distance of making Zenith next year but every point counts.

Remember how you wanted to get on as soon as possible? Well the folks boarding want to get on too, so unless you leave others can’t board.

The Martinis bar type martinis here are are about the same as on the ship, other things a lot less.

You upload the vac card and photo when doing check in on the app. You also select your boarding time. He might in normally opens 45 days before sailing.

Probably a lot more than I pay at home. Every spa service price (before the 18% gratutity) is at least 2x higher than what I’m accustom to paying.

Clarion Root Touch Up. The colorist told me which would be best. But it is pretty easy the color on the box is pretty accurate. After doing the roots wait 5-6 mins and then comb the color through your hair and leave it for about 4-5 minutes.

They are available on the app. If you have a cruise booked you can check the app for all menus & wine lists.

Maybe in a cool climate. But not in warm or humid weather.

My condolences to you and your family. Don wisdom and humor will be missed on here.

I can login but all my cruises are missing - no big deal, happens frequently on the weekend. They are all showing on the app.

The only thing I see listed that might not be on the Classic package is the Courvoisier VS. The VSOP is on the Premium package and the VS isn’t listed on either package. The cocktails can all be made with Classic package liquors.

Look in town. On port days not much open on the ship.

System maintenance and updates are done on weekends so not uncommon to have things not available.

With all the schedule changes and flight cancellations the airlines are doing, not to mention strange weather, I would not recommend recommend flying in the same day. We have cruised twice out of FLL this year both had flights were to get in a day before departure. On both trips we had multiple schedule changes and on 1 the flight cancelled after we were at the airport and our luggage checked. We had to drive to another airport to get the last 2 seats on very early flight that if all went well would allow us to get to the ship. We could not retrieve our checked luggage until 24-48 hours after the flight cancellation was announced so we had to trust the “we will get your luggage on the 1st Flight to FLL”. It all worked out but it was a stressful, and costly experience. We ended up with paid parking at 2 airports, paid hotel in FLL & at new departure city and the last minute airline tickets cost us $480 more than the original air fare.

I just bring a root touch up kit and do my own when traveling. Takes less than 25 mins start to finish and costs about $5.

Back of the hump shouldn’t be windy. The front of the hump can get windy.

Yes, unless the edocs update. Porters are used to people needing luggage tags.

Your dining room is Luminae, no reservations taken, just show up hen you are ready. You also have access to the Retreat Lounge and Retreat Sun Deck. If you booked with the Always Included you would have the Premium Beverage Package ( covers drinks up to $15, Stream wi-fi, prepaid daily gratuity, and On Board Credit. Some fares are cruise only or Sail only fares and those fares and some Guarantee cabin fares do not include the beverage, wi-fi, gratuity or OBC. if you booked with a TA then they can tell you if you have the Always Included items. If you booked direct with a celebrity it show show on your booking confirmation, although it is in code so not clear to new Celebrity cruisers.

Did you check the luggage tag in the edocs? If that isn’t correct and the system haven’t updated them porters at the pier can put tags on your luggage with tge correct cabin number.

With the dining package it is best to go to one of the restaurants as soon as you board and set up your days, times and restaurants for each of your 3 dinners. The computer system requires a day , time and restaurant for 1 meal in order to process the transaction. You are not required, or expected to keep that reservation. Prime times fill quickly so book sooner rather than later to get the best choice of times. As for the beverage package you can go to the cruise planner and look under Order History and at some point the a premium beverage package will show there. Some times a few weeks after booking other times after final payment.

We have stayed in both. On a 7 N cruise we rarely drink the bottles of liquor. may go to a specialty restaurant once or twice depending upon the ship, rarely Oder Room Service so the dining table doesn’t get used and personally I would never used the jetted tub on the balcony. The half bath in the & separate shower are a plus for the RS. But more often than not I can’t justify the price difference.

If you bid is successful you keep your Always included perks( Classic beverage, surf wi-fi & gratuities) BUT you do not get the Always Included perks of a Suite (premium beverage, stream wi-fi, on board credit) and you may be charged the extra $3 pp pd gratuity). You would have Luminae as your dining room and access to the Retreat Lounge & Retrear Sun Deck if the ship has a Retrear Sun Deck. If you bid & win your credit card will be charged and you will be notified, you do not have a choice of cabins and after wining you can’t change your mind. To place a bid move the sliding scale until you see the amount you are willing to pay, then submit your bid. Before bidding check to see what it would cost to pay to upgrade without move up. Occasionally the cost to Move Up isn’t much less than just paying and getting to select your suite, getting the suite perks including OBC and the extra Captains Club Points. Good Luck.
