  1. I did do another account but that did not work. Until this morning when I received an email to verify my email. Then I tried to click on account and it said temporarily unable to connect. Then I click on second link and that did not work either. I believe this only went to Zenith and then will roll out to all CC members.
  2. Yesterday we received an email from Celebrity asking us to join this new celebrity experience. I think tried to register and they did not recognize my email. As we all know X systems are not the best. So I stopped trying. This morning I received another email confirming my registration. So I clicked on the link. Now nothing on the page. Has any other Zenith tried to register or link to the site? For the record, I tried on my Mac and my iPad. The experience looks interesting, so if someone was able to get connected I would be interested on what you think.
  3. Hi, we brought large clamps used for paper reports. We saw this suggestion on cruise critics. Works well when you have a curtain problem. Every room is different depending on ship and age of curtains.
  4. I took survey. Terrible survey, but I was so angry at them for treatment during Covid and loosing 800 dollars. The interface between X and BOA is none existent. So I will be cancelling this card after all charges clear.
  5. Just off the Silhouette last week and the Equinox last month. Silly had it three times and one in the retreat. Equinox had it at least 5 times on a 10 day cruise
  6. We were on Equinox in Oct in MDR and Equinox in July in Blu(our waiter got anything off MDR Menu). We usually do Blu on most cruises. When in MDR in Oct we had a great table for whole cruise, outstanding service and great food. We like the Blue service and view in restaurant. It really is a toss up depending on what you like and table you get. In May we were on edge blu and that was not good, no view, and service was not as good. I would either do retreat or mdr on Edge class. M class is another story, I agree with others Blu or MDR is good. Any choice is great other than E class Blu, not worth it. It depends on what you are willing to pay and what table and service you get.
  7. It is supply and demand. Aqua is preferred on S class ships and not so on E class ships and so so on M class. So price diff between CC and A is affected because of that.
  8. We once thought we would never get to Zenith, but during our next cruise starting on Nov 21 on the Silhouette we will cross the 3k point mark and become Zenith. So there is hope. I have no idea what will happen and when, but we will enjoy the benefits on the next cruise in January .
  9. We will be sailing on the Silhouette on Nov 21 and have a lot of OBC, does anyone know if they have replenished stock in the APPLE ILounge yet. When we were on Equinox in July the person in the lounge said they were expecting stock in September. Thanks in advance for the information.
  10. I use promo chips on every cruise. I usually do 100 dollars at a time, last cruise I did 150 at a time. all $1 chips. At the roulette table you bet $5 minimum. Also, you cannot play red/black, you must use real cash $5 for that match play for elite on up.
  11. I have been told on several ships that you have to use elite plus minutes before using the free minutes. On one of our cruises used the minutes first because they are for the fast internet and could watch a game and use FaceTime.. Then I used the all internet, regular speed rest of cruise.
  12. In this time of celebrity I do not think it is worth it. you can buy elevate and get Bev package etc. if you do not every get the beverage package then it is a different story.
  13. I always use computer to cash in points. Never had an issue with that part of program. I used for both X and RCL cruises. Sorry for not answering original question.
  14. We were on the Equinox last month. We left in Terminal 25 and returned to 18. Infinity was in 25. I always use the parking garage. I have a walker. I drop off my wife and luggage and go park. I take my time and it usually takes 15 minutes. Wife gets a wheelchair for me and meets me at entrance. On the return last time my wife and I got a porter which takes us to the curb. I then went to shuttle van and I was only one on and he took me to parking garage. Took 5 minutes and I went back to wife and luggage.
  15. I have also experienced many problems with this card. I was planning on getting rid of the card and then they, X, inadvertently used it when I was on the last cruise. I did not even give it to them as the X card to use. now I must keep for another couple of months until it clears. The main issue was when I had several cruises canceled in March of 2020. At that time I had over $800 dollars of OBC credit on two cruises. Much of it was lost when the cruises were cancelled. I spent hours of phone time with CC, Boa, and X's department that handled cancellation problems. I vowed never to use the card again. Again this year, a cruise on RCL was cancelled due to us getting Covid. On this cruise we had $150 of OBC that had to be moved back to our credit card as a credit. However, they then took credit back as to the amount of the cruise value because the cruise was cancelled and we took cash. I know they have the right to do but they never tell you anything about what would happen. Lets just say the process is not one.
  16. The auto tipping for specialty dinning started a few months ago. I was on the equinox last month. We went to Tuscan and Murano and in both cases we did not get a bill. Charges are now just charged to your room with gratuity included. We booked on board and got our CC discount at least. I do know that to get special price of CC you must call ahead of time, otherwise you will not get it. If you go to restaurant or GR you might get it but they could turn it down. We have a cruise next month and I booked an excursion and they charged me on my credit card instead of using our OBC which I did not give them. They had it from our last cruise I guess. We have not checked in yet. I will have to call or cancel to straighten it out. All I know it is not right to do this.
  17. All edge class aqua class have showers not tubs.
  18. Hi, I tell you what we do in Fort Lauderdale. Every port is different. You are picked up at curbside by someone from port. Then taken thru security and to desk checkin. Then you wait for someone usually crew person who will then take you to ship and to your room. I give each person $10. I have never asked anyone else but having been doing this for several years.
  19. We did a similar thin in April. It was 6 days out. We had hardly any symptoms. We called and got advice by Royal agent to do either. Take test and hope the day before cruise or stay home and get money back. We opted to get money back and not spread it on ship. Your choice. The agent had similar choice and went. So it is up to you. Are you feeling luck?
  20. First night only on board. After that it depends on demand on that cruise.
  21. We just came off a b2b on Equinox. Both cruises we were in Blu and both cruises they ran out of wines that my wife and then I on the second. My wife drinks Mer Sol and KJ Chardonnay and they gave her other Chardonnays that were premium. Our sommelier was very helpful. On second cruise they were out of many premium wines like Decoy. A different sommelier gave me a lot of choices, many were very good and only available by the bottle. In both cases they really tried hard to please us. The real question is why are they not have enough of the popular premium wines available. That is a corporate issue and someone in logistics should start being held responsible.
  22. I thought you needed a negative PCR test and a COR to board without the rapid test. I just recently went thru this three weeks ago. Decided it was easier to get a rapid test than take the chance.
