I have been using Google translate at home while I am planning my trip and it seems to work very well with Japanese language. I love the picture scanning feature.

You do not even need an adapter, they use the same plugs we do. Except as stated above if you are bringing anything with the 3 prong.

I think you need to check your specific sailing. I believe some ships actually dock 1 day in Kobe and another in Osaka. It all depends on the ship and sail date.

I booked on this website with this company. We are actually going to have them do a 4-5 tour and then drop us at the airport since our flight is not until late afternoon. https://gowithguide.com/supplier/33482

Where is the information for this?

It sounds like the person who responded doesn't have a clue to how the tiers work. Unless they are also changing those but I find it hard to believe it would ever be based on what each individual previously earned.

I believe that is exactly their point. People have booked Celebrity at prices and past experience that they expect and now are finding out that may not be the case.

Have you looked at any upcoming sailings on Solstice to see what is on the menu? From what I can see the new menu has eliminated all of these. That is why so many have issues. Most of the beef selections are lower grade and the appetizers are basically soups or salads, no real appetizers.

Which ship?

The issue is the menu's were just updated in mid August. What you experienced in July may not be the same now. If you look at the current menu's they have been downgraded.

It looks like Eclipse still has the old menu on the app. Not sure if that will be the case on the ship, if so you are lucky. You need to look at the new menu on another ship like Solstice or Millennium and see what you think.

When you say recently exactly when? There have been menu change since Mid August.

It is not just Silhouette. Celebrity updated their menus in mid August and most options seem to be downgrades. I am on Millie next month and the menu shows mashed potatoes every night with at least half of the entrees. Not sure if the app menu used to show other side options but I see nothing as far as individual sides.

Sorry I should have also updated this. I was called back by BCC and found out they will still offer the friends and family on a 2nd cabin but the discount will be based on prior play. I had them reprice 2 bookings I just recently made and both would have been more expensive.

I sail next month and will see. Have you sailed since the menu changes?

The problem is with the new menu almost every entree has mashed potatoes as the side. There does not seem to be many options anymore.

BCC is a mess again. They just recently as of last Monday made other changes. I was told we will no longer get Net20 off a 2nd cabin. They will give a discount to the 2nd cabin somehow based on last play. So I had the person reprice 2 cruises I just booked a few weeks ago and the first one was only slightly more but then the 2nd he said would be over $1000 more. Neither cabins base price has changed since I booked. The first person I talked to said no 2nd cabin discounts at all.

Also on Celebrity website link below for Sky Suite benefits it specifically says https://www.celebritycruises.com/things-to-do-onboard/staterooms/suite-class/sky-suite?icid=xplrsh_wrnssn_sky_hm_other_173

On the APP under dining and Loyalty & Suites it shows the Room Service menu for suites and no where does it say there is a charge. It shows it on the Regular room service menu not the Retreat Room Service menu. The retreat room service breakfast menu also has more options.

What are you pricing for $130? Isn't that just a bottle without the setup?

I just called BCC to ask a question about the Friends and Family discounts which I just recently booked on 2 separate cruises for next year without an issue, and I was told they discontinued this as of the beginning of the week. Has anyone else heard about this? Just another lack of communication on their part.

I was on Beyond this past February and we always just went and checked in and waited. Usually it was not a long wait and if I remember they gave a buzzer so you could wander off a bit.

Why do you think you will lose your deposit if you just change cabin category? Even if it is a downgrade you should not lose your deposit as long as you are staying on the same sailing.

From what I can see when you are booked they can specify early, late or select dining. Even though the restaurants on the E class do not have early or late times. But if you are booked as select the app and online allows you to make reservations for specific times. I have no clue if they honor them when we board but I was able to do this for my sailing next year on Ascent.

Also maybe you can try emailing this department? celebritydining@celebrity.com
