And in practice, the required proximity is adjacent OR connecting OR directly across the hall.

 

My kids were across the hall on several cruises, from ages 12 and 14. It was never an issue booking it that way but we always book direct with the cruise line.

Brilliance arrives in New Orleans April 10 2025 then there is a 2 day gap before she leaves Miami for the TA on April 12 2025. Seems too short of any kind of service and 2 night NOLA to Miami would be an odd charter. Any ideas? She goes to a two week dry dock immediately following the TA.

I have cruises in May and August. Can I use unused punches on the next cruise too?

We did Sawgrass this week and saw zero alligators and 2 interesting birds. Not sure if it matters but it was 90 degrees in October.

Are you aware if it is a refundable OBC?

I did not ask. I only redeemed enough that I knew I would use.

You can have your wine already boxed up and secured with tape and your stateroom category and turn it over to security for safe keeping When you embark.  They will store if for you until the final night of your cruise. 

Exactly what we did on a previous cruise. Took a little time because they had to get a ship security person to come check it in for us.

I just had to call today. Called the Captains Club number because mine had not showed up after two weeks. She told me that "You have to call us to have the credit applied". She just needed my Credit card number and reservation number. It showed up in my cruise planner after about 15 minutes.

We sail 10/14, looking forward to your review. Could you please post the costs for the glass blowing items? Thanks

We cruised once during a shut down. TSA and Customs were there but I was sure to say "Thank you for being here" to every one of them we passed.

On one of our pre-cruise days we will take the water taxi. Are there any decent bars and restaurants near stops? Nothing fancy. Maybe stop for a drink and get back on, repeat. Then stop for dinner.

Does anyone have current prices for the available items? How much is the Pumpkin or the ornament? or the bowl?

could we catch 11:15 am flight? 4 of us so  taxi van or larger Uber - TSA pre check. Also global entry but I don't think that matters at the port.

We are taking a snorkle tour in the morning but the ship is in port until 9PM. Any suggestions for what to do in the afternoon or evening?

We stayed one night and it was fine. Air BNB was next to a Grocery store (with descent wine selection), 1/2 block from Laundromat and walking to other shops and restaurants. I would stay again one night pre-cruise, But I would not want to stay a few days there. Tarquinia and Ostia Antica are Etruscan sites nearby and I hear the latter is a nice choice of a couple nights, check them out.

We rented from Hertz at Florence airport. The return is at the train station in Civi and the shuttle direct to the port picks up about 100 ft away.

People should look to their cruise line.  🙄

Tri but people also should not intentionally mislead on cc

Isn’t that what the whole bidding process is? If this happened a week or two before the cruise AFTER your bid was accepted and paid for that is different. But when you bid someone can always outbid you until it’s final. I have changed it removed my bid in the past. I always bid low and assume I’m not going to get it.

If I have the drink package would I be able to see all the  drinks I ordered, using the Celebrity app?

Not all of our drinks have showed up with the 0. We could go to martini bar and have two each and only one of us has a single $0 charge.

The mandatory disembarkation on the Constellation's TA was not COVID related. It was related to another illness and the six consecutive sea days ahead.

I confirm that also

Onboard now and asked at the future cruise desk. They only said “end of November”

On embarkation day for our transatlantic there were people insisting that Celebrity no longer required testing. They didn’t read the full info in the emails or in the web page that clearly listed TA testing requirements. They had to pay for expensive dock side testing. 
 
People come to CC looking for info and we should try and share the correct, full info and not headlines that may mislead people.

Nonstop. Right at the ship. 

I assume if there were others on the buss they would have stopped at each ship. But Connie my ship was the first one we came to and at 10am we were only ones on the bus.
