We’re on the Summit this coming Sept and have booked the Ascent for next Sept.  Would love to hear opinions from those with cruises coming up on other lines.  Great information. ( Maybe between now and next Sept Celebrity will read some of the comments regarding cuts and change things).  Thanks.

Can anyone refresh my memory how to check the status of a move up bid? Thanks.

We had Brent and his wife on our Hawaiian cruise this past May.  Both wonderful speakers.  He did say he would be on our Sept 10th NE/Canada cruise.

How do we check of our status is still pending?  Thanks.

We’re heart sick seeing the photos of downtown Lahaina and the loss of lives.  We were just there this past May on the Hawaiian cruise.  Our daughter’s friend lives there and lost her home.  Just so sad.

Where can one check their status?  Thanks.

Spoke with Celebrity this morning. Was told with the flash sale, elite discount would not apply.  Might try captains club to verify. Thanks.

Is there an elite discount if we upgrade to the premium beverage package?  Thanks.

Never had a problem with the laundry.  I do send anything that might shrink ( ie ladies pants or tops) to be dry cleaned if needed.  A couple complimentary for us, the rest I find the prices comparable to at home..

Denny01- I had a good laughs this morning at your comment!

Thanks everyone for the information on Cinque Terre.  We had planned on the train a few years ago but cruise was cancelled ( time of Covid). Planning in next fall.  My husband has slight balance issues since back surgery last fall so probably will pass on the train next Sept.  Looking at a tour with Italytours which transports directly to a few towns, minimal walking up and down hills.

Very much enjoying your review!
 

Question about the trains between the villages.   Does it involve lot of uphill walking , ie from the station to each village?
 

Also, how are the crowds early Sept ( going ,Sept 2024)?

Thanks!

Beth, 

So much enjoyed your live review.   Please let us know on these board when you are posting your Anthem review.

Looking forward to following along. Love Bermuda!  Can’t find more beautiful beaches.  We’re on the Summit in Sept.  Relax and enjoy!  

Will be following along as thinking of Alaska and cruise tour in the future.

Looking forward to “cruising” along with you.

So glad to near you have recovered and are doing well.  Thank you so much for the additional photos of Amsterdam, our favorite city!  We were supposed to spend several days there last Sept between cruises but husband needed back surgery so cancelled.  
 

Spent two days in Istanbul a few years ago on a Celebrity cruise.  Used a 

private guide (small group arranged thru our roll call). Saw so much!  Will look for the name and post on this thread once I get home ( out of town, home tomorrow).
 

Looking forward to your next review.

Spain day tours-excellent

What coffee drink is that?  Looks yummy.

Happy Birthday and looking forward to following along.  We will be on the Summit in Sept.

Greatest respect for special education teachers.  I’m a retired school psychologist and I worked at a preschool for infants and preschoolers with special needs so I know how hard spec ed teachers work.  Have a wonderful vacation!

Amazing photos!

Get well soon Norris!

Thanks everyone.  We’ve already booked Eden and Rooftop Grill even though our cruise isn’t until Sept 2024 on the Ascent ( we’re “refugees”from our cancelled Beyond cruise).

Hi everyone.  We have occasionally booked speciality restaurants on the first night on the S class ships for a nice discount ( once on board).  Does anyone know if this is available on the E class as well?  And which restaurants? 
 

Thanks.

Great review.  We typically dress somewhat on chic nights also. We both miss the formal nights.  Made the cruises feel special.  

Enjoying the photos- thanks for reposting.  Loved the Asian dress, looked amazing, and the matching outfits.
