Thank you. 
 

Celebrity Constellation January 26 

Is this a port that you can just get off the ship and walk around?  Is there anything near the port that is worth going to and is it a safe walk?

thank you.

What time do they put out coffee on Deck 7?  I always go up to the buffet - coffee as early as 5 am.   Thank you. 

I believe the elevator sounds may be for the sight impaired.  
 

Here is something I learned on our last cruise (probably #16).  We like to have a drink on our balcony, however I like to have some kind of munchie with my drink.   Now I know, I can go to the Martini Bar and ask for snacks. They serve little carafes of bar mix (nuts, pretzels, etc).  You don’t have to sit there and drink you can take it away.  

Our last cruise was January 2024 in a Sky suite.   We received a call from concierge and an email.  One request was  go green program (needed the extra points to get over to elite plus).   After cruise I was told I did not sign up for go green.  They  finally gave me the points. If, you are interested in the extra points make a copy or screen shot of your request for go green.  

There is a separate check in area for suite guest. Make sure you go to that area. Once checked in you will be taken to a suite waiting area with coffee, etc.   When the ship is ready you will board immediately.   

Considering the weather, which month is better - February or March.  Thank you.

Would like to book Patagonia and Argentina.  Considering the weather is  February better than March? Thank you.

The weather during the past two sea days has been terrific.  Smooth seas and blue skies!

 

Could you please tell me what cabin this is?   Thank you.  

Check the ship class, that probably has a lot to do with it.  You can always call customer service.  

Unless they moved it, It is on deck 10 and even there it is not that much of an issue.  We will take deck 10 if it is the only one corner left. But, prefer 8 or 9.  

We are thinking about taking a Celebrity cruise out of Port Canaveral.  Since we are about  an hour driving distance to the port, we would like to give it a try.  The cruise terminal in Fort Lauderdale is so easy to navigate.  Can someone tell me about your experience with Port Canaveral.  Is it easy to get to, is there plenty of parking and transportation?  Thank you for your help.

sometimes if you do a gen search you can find ads or info abt groups..hit or miss!

 

we will also search for  the huge ICON of Seas by Royal  C in  our ports..

I remembered from years ago there was a website that listed some of the ships that were booked for large groups.  Took me awhile, but I found one.  There are only a few charters listed for Celebrity ships.   I think there is another website I will keep looking.

Would you please tell me where I can get the information for Charters?   Thank you

How do you research whether there is a large group on your sailing?  Thank you.

I just mailed Laura Hodges-Bethge. Catering to travel agents who can bring them future business is obviously much more important than individual customer concerns. 

Could you please post the email address for Laura, or tell me where I can find it.  Thank you

Were you able to get your go green points.  I am still working on it.

Has anyone had any problems getting CaptainClub points applied after participating in go green”? I’ve received my points for the cruise,but not the go green points.

Absolutely having a problem, not just with the go green, but also with getting points for the past web-bar (December activity)  and recent questionnaire.  Have been working on this for a long time.  It is important to me because it will put us into the Elite Plus Category.   I have faith in the representative I spoke with today.  Here is hoping it gets resolved soon.  

Just an FYI, I was asked if I took a screenshot of my completed email signing up for going green to prove I actually did!  Next time I definitely will.  

Thank you.  Buying the water is fine, I just don’t like the cans.    We will be on a southern Caribbean cruise next week.  

Does Celebrity still provide a bottle of water (plastic) when you are leaving on a shore excursion? Have they switched to cans? 
thank you.

Dinner was at the main dining room. We have select dining but made reservations every night. I had a fish cake appetizer that wasn’t on the menu on the app  It was excellent  then had a shrimp scampi that was served with rice (also not on the app menu) and a steak Dianne which unfortunately was inedible. Very chewy. The shrimp scampi was very good. Tonight dinner is at Tuscan grille

Just wondering, if items are not on the menu - do they give you a paper menu in the restaurant, or does the waiter tell you additional items without your asking?  Thank you.  

Thank you both.  I am going to make a reservation now for September.   So glad, I asked about this early.  Two weeks ago we  flew out of Jacksonville and luckily we did a dry run to the airport a few days before our flight and all the parking areas were full.  Having to make a parking reservation in advance is new to us.  Luckily we were able to do a park and fly at the Doubletree and it was very reasonable.  

Looking for advice on where to park and leave car for 14 days.  Thank you

I did bring a heating pad and put it on the very top of my clothes in the suitcase.  It went through security with no problem.  I did use it and left it out (unplugged of course 😁) where the room attendant would see it.  There were no  issues with my having a heating pad in the room.   We were on the ship for 3 weeks, so there was plenty of time for the room attendant to confiscate it, if it were an issue. I have a travel size pad.  It is about 12” by 12” I bought on Amazon.  The iron is definitely not allowed.  I don’t use a curling iron, but I believe they are allowed.    Happy cruising.
