I have attended several veteran get togethers !

I am retired Army and you are so correct, its not about the discount, its the fellowship meeting other vets !

On our card the wrong date we were vaccinated was entered.

2012 was entered on card instead of 2021.

I did not realize it until a few days prior to embarkation, I was worried we would be denied.

Upon check-in at port, personnel did not notice it also, but since vaccinations were started in 2021 it was accepted.

Very funny situation !

The first time we cruised many years ago on HAL and booked using military discount for this cruise, ever since we have cruised strictly with X somehow they knew I was retired military and always applied a military discount without asking.

Not sure how X knew.

We were on the Silhouette a couple years ago for Thanksgiving and it was not that great, just average at best but, our dinner companion made a joke to our waiter about turkey legs, apparently he did not comprehend the joke and served us actual turkey legs along side of our regular turkey dinner !!!

I tried to view the Constellation in the port of Tampa today. 
1. It was raining cats and dogs, camera was obscured. 
2.The camera rolled left and right, could not see anything, not sure where it’s docked, I could see some sort of channel and RJ Stadium. 

I was curious as to what is the latest port info in Nassau.

We were in Nassau port back in July and absolutely nothing was opened.

The port was under extensive construction, no kiosks or stalls selling souvenirs, Señor Frogs was closed.

We will be porting in Nassau for our next cruise sometime during the itinerary, Celebrity Constellation, Nov 22-Dec 3, 2021.

Any info would be much appreciated !

If you have Concierge Class you can eat in the MDR.

I am sailing on the Constellation in 25 days, November 11. My reso online still says, "Check-in unavailable. We'll email you when you can check in”. I called today and the X rep said check in for the Constellation is not available and that in the event that I never get the email, I can check in at the pier. Any idea what's going on?

Lol, I was told the same thing.

If you are not able to check-in online, just show up at the port on embarkation day.

WHAT ???

I wonder how that will work since you are assigned times to be there.

We dined in all the MDR's on the Edge in July, and there was no established social distancing but due to the decreased occupancy it was not an issue.

We have always sailed princess before so this will be our first time on celebrity, so can you help me with a meal question? It looks like we are "any time dining" on our Caribbean cruise but some  people reserve a time in the main dining room anyways? can this be done before the cruise? Not sure if I want to do that as I dont know what I may want to do as far as evening activities so how has this worked for you? And how soon before a sailing can dinner reservations be made? We will be on the Reflection if that makes a difference.  thank you!

We are a group of 4 that dines together nightly.

What we do is on the first night, after dinner, if we like our table and wait staff,  we contact the Maitre D and ask to be seated in the same place and time nightly. it has never failed.

Please Help !

I have cruised X several times, my last on the Edge.

I am not the brightest when it come to tech things.

I had all kinds of difficulties using the MyTv and navigating the menus.

I didn't know how to order room service or making reservations for anything.

Is there some sort of guide on usage I could review before my next cruise ?

Thank you !

My husband and I have a cruise booked on the Celebrity Edge on October 23rd.  I am attempting to reach the Blue Chip Club with a a question and have been on hold for more than an hour.  Anyone else having this issue?  I have tried to reach out at different parts of the day to no avail.  I am frustrated!!  Emails are not answered so I am at a loss as to what to do next!  Certainly, I am aware of delays that are unavoidable due to staffing shortages, but it has now been nearly 2 hours.  I am done!!

Lol, this is par for X.

I am very upset with X this morning 😡

Today was supposed to be the day to check in for the 11/22/21 Constellation cruise.

We are 45 days out.

Cannot complete online so I called X and was transferred to 4 different departments, 1 of them was very rude, not knowing anything.

Finally, I was told that IT has had a problem with website, imagine that.

I was told maybe at some point today online check-in may work, not for sure.

Also, they still have no idea concerning the itinerary, representative told the present itinerary is still correct, even though we all know, except X that Grand Cayman is closed until 2022.

We have cruised a couple times on X with Concierge Class, we stopped. 
The only perk I enjoyed was being able to eat lunch in the MDR on embarkation day.

This has been our experience with HAL. DH and I are both retired Navy and were hoping for the same type of consistent discount that Celebrity gives. Fortunately Celebrity is our cruiseline of choice, so it's mostly a non-issue anymore.

As I have stated previously that since the first time I presented my DD-214 in 2011 with HAL I have always received a military discount with X over 6 plus cruises with them and not presenting anything else, not sure how they know, maybe you should contact X again, thank you for your service !

I am retired military also.

My very first cruise, on HAL, I got a military, all I ever had to do was provide a copy to cruise line, and fill out a form, via email, with pertinent info, (SSN), blacked out.

Since then I have been on many cruises and got discounts and never went through that again, it just happens, good luck and thank you for your service !

Can you order whole pizzas before 11PM through room service ?

Lol, on our last cruise in July we ordered luggage tags, did not get them prior to cruise, but, we printed them out.

A week after we returned from cruise we got the tags from X, lol 🤣

Love your positive outlook!

Last time we were in Nassau in July it was horrible, lots of port construction, nothing opened, I wouldn't get off the ship.

Which sailing are you on? 

If you're on the Reflection on Nov 6th, I'll bring you a tee shirt or hat from a GOOD university in Michigan 😉

Wow, thanx !!!

The best university in Michigan is in Ann Arbor, Go Blue !!!

Have you tried reaching out to X about this?

 

If so, what have they said?

 

bon voyage

Bo, you are pretty knowledgeable guy, love your posts !

I contacted X and they stated the delay is due to itinerary changes not being finalized.

Can't We All Just Get Along !!!

Why is this an issue ?

It's all spelled out !
