Same with ours but of the 3  Xpress passes two state CALL, PALL and one states PALL, CALL, but all of us have the premium beverage package. Weird imo

Thank you-understood all but the pearl, although I thought classic was our Captains Club level since we have the premium beverage package. Guess my sister achieved that after her “big” winnings on the slots last year-lol ;-)

Anyone know what this means?? The other Xpress Passes only have Concierge-Classic.

Thanks everyone. We went ahead and bid on a few different Retreat categories but doubt we’ll be upgraded since both of us are only Classic Captains Club members and put in low bids. If by some miracle both of us get an upgrade that would be great, but I’m not holding my breath-lol! If only one of the bookings gets an upgrade we’ll deal with it then.

Keep getting emails with discounted Move Up minimum bids. It' so tempting and would love to try, but the problem is not knowing if both bookings would get the upgrade. Not sure if we should take the chance. Currently we both are booked in Concierge IV on the Ascent and want to try for the Retreat. We had a Sky Suite on Apex and loved the larger room, sun deck and lounge.  Has anyone with linked bookings both gotten the upgrade? I've read that's it completely random. Thanks

Has anyone stayed in this cabin? On the deck plan there’s a little part that sticks out. Not sure how that might affect the view from the window.

Does anyone know the dates for the dry dock in December 2023? I previously read that it was to have taken place in March/April 2023.

It might be easier to have them download the Celebrity App.   Select the Current Reflection Sailing -   The Cruise Planner lists everything for the entire cruise.    The default filter is Recommend but  if you choose all will show everything.   Just click on the day # and will show each day's activities

 

If they see something they Like the can click on it and it will set up a reminder in their individual daily planner

Completely forgot about the app. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll definitely let them know.

I am currently on Reflection (Eastern) and have the dailies. Once I get home I will try to take photos and upload them.

That would be fantastic! Thanks so much.

Does anyone happen to have these to post? My brother and sister-in-law are cruising for only the 2nd time (first on Celebrity). Their only other cruise was an NCL Alaskan cruise way back in 2003. They would like an idea of what they can expect as far as daily activities for their cruise in March. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything recent. Thanks

Thanks, appreciate the info. I’ll look again then later this month.

The other day I was looking at an 8-night British Isles cruise that left on 4/30/23. Wanted to share the info with my sister and when I looked again, it was gone-absolutely nothing for the Emerald Princess in Europe next year. Does anyone know what happened?  Thanks

Thanks Euro Cruiser-confirms our decision to spend a little more and take the 9:16 Frecce train.

Great to know-thanks again😁

pikwe012 - thanks so much for the great info. Can't wait for our cruise!!

Thank you everyone for the great info - so excited for our trip!!

lovesthebeach2 - we're taking a private transfer from Rome to the ship

bonsai3s - we're planning on the taking the port shuttle to the train station.

Not sure where to ask this question since it’s specific to the Odyssey, but here goes: Trying to book train tickets for our upcoming cruise. We’re doing a private transfer from Rome to the ship, but will be taking the train back to Rome after the cruise. If we are self-carry, what time can we expect to be allowed to disembark? I know there’s an FB train at 9:16 and 11:16 and regional trains in between which take longer. Would we be able to make the 9:16 train? Thanks

Thanks jwlane - that's definitely changed since the last time I looked. If that's still the case when I cruise, I'll just have to keep checking the protocols since things are constantly changing. Hope they offer more options as my cruise date gets closer.

We've been debating whether or not we should upgrade from a Sky Suite to a Celebrity Suite to have the separate bedroom. There will be 3 of us sailing on a "girl's" cruise so we need to be able to have 2 twins. After watching numerous videos, it doesn't look like there's enough space in the bedroom to separate the king bed into 2 twins (bedside "tables" on both sides). Does anyone know if the bed separates and if so, how much space there is between the 2 beds. The bedroom area as a whole looks tight. I have seen photos of the beds separated in a Sky suite but can't seem to find any of a Celebrity Suite with the bed apart. Thanks 🙂

Over the past month, I've had the unique opportunity of sailing in 3 different types of suites on Edge class ships: Iconic (Edge), Penthouse (Edge), and Villa (Apex). I don't have time to do a full blown review of each, but thought I would just highlight some of the pros and cons. All of these accommodations provide high-end, luxurious experiences, and any criticisms are really very minor first world problems. I'm extremely grateful to have had the chance to experience them, and am completely sold on X's Retreat product on E class ships.

 

Villa (Apex 15100) - 1 bed, 2 bath, Sq ft:739 interior, 211 balcony

Pros

• Quiet and private
• Super convenient location, integrated into retreat sundeck
• Amazing views with floor-to-ceiling glass on both floors
• Great indoor / outdoor integration with large balcony 

Cons

• Unreliable hot tubs that don't always work as designed (ie - achieve and maintain high water temp).  Few people on the ship seem to know how to maintain / fix them. 
• Poor bathroom lighting
• Very low hanging chandelier in living area 
• Only 1 bedroom with beds that split, but do not separate. 
• No / limited streaming capabilities that reduce the benefit of the huge TV
• Lower quality Lavazza coffee machine that wasn't well maintained
• 2 story room that can sometimes be inconvenient if you leave something on one level

GMoney - Would you please clarify what you mean by split vs. do not separate. We were thinking of upgrading to either a Royal or a Villa, but definitely need the beds separated. Thanks

Not now.  Only way off the ship are Celebrity excursions.

Last time I checked, St. Thomas you could do on your own.

Yikes… I am sorry to hear that.  Are you not able to see all the videos?  I wonder if I need to upload them again?  I checked on my phone and it seems like it’s working.  Sorry about that!

Same here - I can view them on my phone, but not on my computer 😞

ChicagoPaul-we'll be on the Apex Eastern Caribbean cruise in March. Would like to know what shore excursions for St. Thomas are being offered on the ship. On the website the options are very limited and don't appeal to us since we've been there numerous times. Just want to go to a beach and chill. I know we can hop on an open air taxi to take us to a beach which we've done in the past, but we have shipboard credit to burn. Thanks and have a fabulous time 🙂

Thanks for the info on the Carambola Beach Break shore excursion. Appreciate it :-)
