Arzeena

In all the excitement I forgot my cell phone aka my camera on the ship, so these pictures I posted are from RJ's phone🙃

L and J were going to the West Deck for lunch. I was absolutely thrilled to meet them yesterday.

I could see the airport from the island. And lookie.... captain Mike (Mr Renee) is waving at me from that cockpit!😁

Is he beating me to that hammock?

It starts with this:

Hello from Aruba. Oh its HOT HOT HOT! We had day passes for Renaissance Island. We docked at the pier behind the regular pier, the old container terminal. where the old control tower is. There were shuttles to take you to the port entrance. Never ever docked at this pier in my ten thousand times before. Was told that now if there are two ships, one will be docked here. Pictures to follow.

Enjoy your cruise! I will look forward to your cruise reports!

These are very nice. Mine are Minnie Mouse and a pair of cellophane ones, which are very light and work well.

I wish the same Dani. Take care.

Those are the ones!

We met J and L today at the Captain's Club event. It was our pleasure! Laura is just one of the nicest ladies I have met and I enjoyed our conversations. Both are lovely people! We had lunch together. I am SO happy!

Plastic poncho would be good to cover you and belongings under it. And not make you hot And you can just drape it anyway around your neck so hands are free. Fashion statement

I see the shopping bag. I better go fast!

Yes you do. I forgot to mention wine tasting.

😆 yes yes! I have been "admiring" that section every two hours! It is becoming dangerous!

I hope to meet J and L at the Captain's Club thing this noon, unless they are elsewhere. Will check at Martini Bar in the evening as well before 6.30 pm. Tomorrow in Aruba we have day pass to Renaissance Island.

That's what I thought too. Till it was clarified and resolved. It's nice that you get some benefits. In my opinion, there are no benefits that match up to Royal's C n A benefits such as the 5 drink vouchers loaded to sea pass, the d lounge, the balcony discounts, and some other small stuff. Plus the casino people tell me that Royal's Club Royale has far more benefits and easier to get to tiers than Celebrity's Blue Chip. Celebrity elite drinks can only be used bw 5 and 7 pm. Drink list is pathetic even to a teetotaler like me. Lounge is not dedicated like Royal c n a or diamond lounge. I am not complaining but any means. I am only trying to explain different benefits.

No. Celebrity's equivalent is called a "one category upgrade". Which does mean that you book ocean view and get upgrade to a Balcony. It means that if you book, for example, a Balcony 2 category, you get a Balcony 1. The upgrade is a cabin within the same category you book that is within Ocean view or within Balcony. You cannot book ocean view to get the Balcony. You book a lower Balcony and get a one up from that Balcony you booked. ....within the general category of Balcony cabins. Have I confused you enough?😊
