We got to the pier at 10:30 and snagged someone pushing wheelchairs. They rushed us in and check in took a matter of minutes. We did pass the lounge as they rolled my wife on board. It appeared there was some snacks and beverages there. They asked if we wanted to rest in the lounge and we said no. A few minutes later we were in our suite ready to head to Luminae for lunch.
My wife and had the super high tub in a Sky suite on the Summit. I struggled to get in the tub but it was impossible for my wife to negotiate. Our butler arranged for my wife to use an unoccupied room with a shower for her to use. Celebrity definitely needs to add one or two grab bars. We reserved an accessible Sky suite for our cruise in March.
I asked my butler to replace the sparkling wine with a bottle of chardonnay and it was not problem. When she saw we had finished that bottle she brought a 2nd bottle.
I was not able to book seats on the website. I went to the airlines website after I booked the flight and was able to pick my seats. I could do this for United but not AA. I called Celebrity and they booked my seats. Remember you do not have a confirmed ticket until after your final payment to Celebrity.
We normally stay in a suite and if it is delivered by our butler we give a tip when we leave. If it is someone else we always carry a bunch of $2 dollar bills for extra trips.
Please don't depend on this but I renewed my wife and my passport in September and received them in 2 weeks not even expedited. I figure that had to be a fluke.
We will be ordering an electric mobility scooter for mu DW on our cruise on the Summit 3/23 out of Miami. We are using the company suggested by Celebrity. On some previous cruises on NCL it delivered to our suite. Does anyone know if it is delivered to the cabin or you have to pick it up portside in a designated area.
TIA
