If you used the Elite discount you have to use the free minutes first. If not you don’t need to use them at all and can transfer by giving the user and password Doing that can be very dangerous. You can log on and log off saving the minutes but you need to make sure that you are logged off and not just turning off. If you are logged on and think you are discounted you can very easily exceed the free minutes. You will be charged per minute over. Can be a very expensive lesson to the person giving away their minutes and the other party. I know that people have exceeded their minutes by mistake of not logging off and the employee in the internet lounge will waive the excess fee. It may be hard to explain if you give them away to someone. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Experienced the same. Was in the Caribbean. My wife was showering and I was sitting in the veranda area, bifold doors closed, and window down. My wife came out of the shower and started to yell at me because the cabin was like a steam sauna and she couldn’t dry off. I closed the window. Showered and it was still impossible to dry off. We did as best as we could and left the cabin to go to a bar and then dinner. They may be great for cooler weather cruises but don’t work in the Caribbean. The IV would concept would work if the bifold doors sealed better and when completely closed with the window down the AC would still work. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Take your own conditioner. My with and I have found the stuff on the ship leaves a lot of static in our hair. Don’t try to dine in a large group at the same time. Is it really necessary? As the previous poster mentioned you normally only talk to the people next to you. With large tables it becomes very loud and service is slower because of you are always waiting for the others to place their orders, and finish their courses. Best to dine at a table of 6 max.

There use to be an issue with those cabins on the starboard side under the gym because of the treadmills. On some ships they have moved them to the bow section. I have also seen where they put them out of use in the early morning. If it is an issue during you cruise talk to GR and they may do that for you. If you have are a captain club member you should be able to get an upgrade to a AQ1if one is available. They are under the pool area and could be noisy during the day time. Many also don't like them because of the large overhang. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The set of tickets you purchase are for one session. We have been on cruises where they have had 2 sessions. If offered you could buy a set of cards for each session. i bought 4 in my wife’s name. We were able to choose the session we wanted to use the cards. You cannot split the cards of a set between the sessions. When you redeem the prepaid package you play all of them in that session. There is a 2 hour window before the game to redeem or purchase cards. The line gets very long. You have to have the sea pass card that has the name of the person that the cards were purchased in. I found out the hard way. Waited in line and was told that I needed my wife’s card. Had leave and hunt down my wife as she was saving our seats. Was told that I could just comeback to the front of the line. Ended up joining many others that had the same problem. It was like standing in line again. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

When we were on the Beyond for 2 cruises in Feb we never had a chance to use the Solarium. The chair hogs had all of the chairs and loungers. We spent most of the time in other areas and a lot in our cabin using the IV. Happy cruising cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It has happen to me so give this a try. I would look at booking a cruise and most cabins were greyed out. I finally found the problem. The box for handicapped room kept getting checked during my search. Another issue is sometimes if you are booking more than 2 to a cabin some will be greyed out. Happy cruising. 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It depends on what you would consider vibration. We have stayed in the aft SS and other aft cabins. We have felt a constant fishtail effect when sailing. It can be irritating and nauseating especially if you had a few drinks or sensitive to motion.it also depends on the speed it. One time there was a vibration that was so bad that the glass vibrated off of the table. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I know many think that the move up is a great deal. Personally I have never seen it worth pursuing . I paid for a cabin where I am comfortable with the price that is in my budget. Paying more than I wanted because it is a bargain to me isn’t a bargain. That is my input and opinion. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I apply door murals. Dresses up the hallway Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Exactly. Example: If you booked a cruise for $1000 pp guaranteed. And now that same category guaranteed is $1500 and AQ is now $200 more or $1700 pp you would have to pay $700 more pp. The difference of the $1000 you booked at and the new price for AQ. It should be able to be done as you are upgrading. You will not get the upgrade for $200 more, the difference between new price of $1500 and $1700. Hope it clarifies it and makes sense.

It is best and easy to figure it out yourself. Every cruise has different demographics. The atmospheres in the bars also change with the time of day. There is only the two of you. Easy to wander around and find what suits you. Many of the bars do get crowded before dinner because of the Elite HH and get very loud. Some like the Magic Carpet or Sunset but both are outside and do not appeal to those that are ready for dinner but there are nice views instead of looking at walls. Can be nice if still in port and also for sail away . Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Sales are always suspect. Is it really a sale or a promotion? It is like the stock market., past performance doesn’t indicate what will be or happen. Book your drink pack. If there is a better deal you can always cancel and rebook. I have been able to do that but who knows? Things and rules may change. That is also what my wife told me. I once said something about some rules she told me when we got married. I wanted to do something according to her “rules” and she said they changed. 🤷‍♂️😱🙄 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Would you have rather be waiting in the terminal? I would gladly be able to get on board and be able to drop off my carry on in the cabin and then explore and enjoy the ship and my drink package. Celebrity also gives boarding times but many don’t honor it. They show up and board when they want. Just be happy that they let you on board ASAP. Maybe I didn’t understand what your post was about but I don’t see any reason to be disappointed. In the past you couldn’t get to your cabin to drop off your carry on. It is now a big improvement.

I have experienced the same. We were doing a B2B, A SS, AQ. I went to GR during the first and expressed interest in upgrading for the 2nd. I seen that there were a lot of suites still available on their website. On the 3rd day of the next cruise we got a message that an upgrade was available. It was also for more than the price prior to sailing and wasn’t prorated. We already missed 2 days and were situated in our cabin. Plus the difference in cost was the reason I didn’t originally book it. No thanks Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Don’t buy any Ulu knives. Take gloves, hat and ear muffs for standing outside when looking at the glaciers and ice flows Dress in layers. It will be chilly in the morning and hot later in the day Take a rain jacket. Don’t constantly sit by a window watching for wild life. There really isn’t any to be seen when the ship is sailing. If there is there will be an announcement. Chances are you will be on the wrong side of the ship. If you want to see wild life take an excursion. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The drivers are very accommodating. I think that they will be able to assist you. It wouldn’t be their first time dealing with that situation. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

There is a front passenger seat in the vans. You should be able to use that as you can access it thru that side door and not go thru the back door. It should be no different than setting into your Tahoe. It would involve getting up that one step and then sitting onto the seat. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We exercise almost every day. Living in Mi we take advantage of the weather and bike at least 20 miles per day. In the colder months we do Beach Body. P90X, Insanity, Max 30., Focus, and etc. We are in our late 70’s. When on a cruise we enjoy it. Don’t see the need to exercise. Our bodies need a rest. If you look at any exercise program your body need a rest period. They need to give their body a rest so just enjoy the cruise. If they do feel the need do as we do, use the stairs and do a lot of walking in the ports. It doesn’t really do much but it is better than nothing. We did try some of their free exercise classes and found them not to be very intense. In reality they don’t want them to be so intense as to cause a heart attack. There are classes that they can sign up for in the gym for fee. Not worth the cost. We get free classes because of our CC status. Don’t use it. Just enjoy the cruise and forget about it. RELAX. ENJOY Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Wear loose fitting comfortable clothes. Dress for the weather. Don’t violate the clothing police Happy cruising 🌊🚢🌅🇺🇸

I don’t know all of the facts but it appears as if it was a complimentary cruise thru the casino. If that is the case I don’t think there is a benefit. Read all of the questions in the link I provided. Also as others have posted apply for it 4 to 6 weeks before the cruise. Also in the link Here is the link for FAQ. In one of the questions it has the link for the form to apply. You don’t need to do it thru a TA. You do it yourself https://www.rclinvestor.com/contact-us/faqs/shareholder-benefit/ Hope this helps.

I don’t understand the fascination of the hot glass on board the ship. If you want to do that just google hot glass academy or workshop. I am sure you will find many places near your residence that offers it. I know it is a memory of your cruise. OK. Just a suggestion if it is really something you are interested in. Below is a map where I live in MI that has glass blowing opportunities. Support your local busineeses. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I am looking for a reasonable rate for parking for a cruise out of Boston. I have read that there is a 20% discount if on a cruise. I can’t find that. I have tried others and as post 33 wrote that parking at lot C doesn’t pop up The only price I come up with is $330 for a 11 day cruise. Thanks for any help/suggestions. Happy cruising. 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We were on the Constellation in Mar and we were able to order from any menu. Every night our server would bring us all 3 menus and we never asked for them. Is it the Maitre’d or the server. Call me a liar?? I am giving my experience. I don’t make up stuff just to make it up. Whenever we were on a M class in Luminae we could always order from the other menus. They also use to have the menus in Michaels Club. Why would they do that if you couldn’t order off of them? I don’t know if they still do because of the app. Your comment could apply to anything. I could say we were able to get a certain liquor on the premium drink pack. Is it across the board? The other ships may not carry it. Am I wrong for saying that? I could say that our butler provided us with …. Is it across the board? Don’t know. Can just report on my experience. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

In March we played our OBC in the slots and weren’t charged any fees. You do have to run thru 50% of what the amount you used to play. Eg If you put in $100 you have to play at least $50 before cashing out, such as playing $5/ play you would need to play 10 times. If you cash out before that you will get the cash but the next time you try to play anymore OBC you will find that your account is locked. Things may have changed as it use to be 10% but I think too many people were doing that. It also use to be that you could just cash in at the cashier without playing for a 5% fee. We have also found that different ships have different policies. Last year we did a side by side cruise on a M class and S class. The casinos had different rules OBC rules, and also different pay schedules on the VP machines. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
