Over a year out, desired rooms greyed-out; unable to book
miched replied to Maligator's topic in Celebrity Cruises
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. ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
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 ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

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 isnโt a bargain. That is my input and opinion. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

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.

Favorite Lounge on Edge for Pre-Dinner Drink
miched replied to ScottC4746's topic in Celebrity Cruises
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 ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Sales are always suspect. Is it really a sale or a promotion? It is like the stock market., past performance doesnโt 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 โrulesโ and she said they changed. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฑ๐ Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

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 donโt honor it. They show up and board when they want. Just be happy that they let you on board ASAP. Maybe I didnโt understand what your post was about but I donโt see any reason to be disappointed. In the past you couldnโt 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 wasnโt prorated. We already missed 2 days and were situated in our cabin. Plus the difference in cost was the reason I didnโt originally book it. No thanks Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Donโt 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. Donโt constantly sit by a window watching for wild life. There really isnโt 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 ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Fractured leg on Beyond; Need Disembarkation Information

The drivers are very accommodating. I think that they will be able to assist you. It wouldnโt be their first time dealing with that situation. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Fractured leg on Beyond; Need Disembarkation Information
miched replied to helen haywood's topic in Celebrity Cruises
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 ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
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 70โs. When on a cruise we enjoy it. Donโt 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 doesnโt 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 donโt 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. Donโt use it. Just enjoy the cruise and forget about it. RELAX. ENJOY Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Shareholder services transfered booking to travel agent
miched replied to AbbyCruiser45's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I donโt know all of the facts but it appears as if it was a complimentary cruise thru the casino. If that is the case I donโt 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 donโt need to do it thru a TA. You do it yourself https://www.rclinvestor.com/contact-us/faqs/shareholder-benefit/ Hope this helps. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
I donโt 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 ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Infinity AquaClass Sky suite upgrade worth it?
miched replied to Number34's topic in Celebrity Cruises
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 Maitreโd or the server. Call me a liar?? I am giving my experience. I donโt 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 couldnโt order off of them? I donโt 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 โฆ. Is it across the board? Donโt know. Can just report on my experience. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Using OBC on slots without incurring 5% transaction fee
miched replied to mhlcanada's topic in Celebrity Cruises
In March we played our OBC in the slots and werenโt 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 ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Infinity AquaClass Sky suite upgrade worth it?
miched replied to Number34's topic in Celebrity Cruises
The cabins that are on the angle have larger balconies. The cabins are also about 3 to 4 ft deeper. I know this as we were in one for a B2B cruise and had to change to another SS that wasnโt on the angle. We could immediately see the difference. The Persian Gardens on the M class arenโt the same as o. The E and S class. There is no heated loungers. It has a heated bench inside a room with no windows. Like being in dungeon. Being able to dine in Blu is no big deal because in Luminae on the M class you can order from any menu. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
First time on Celebrity (Reflection), tips for our first time?
miched replied to kaz828's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Donโt miss the ship. Dont be an idiot and get sunburned the first day or any day. Even in the shade you can get burned from the reflection of the rays Donโt drink too much on the first day. It will still be there tomorrow. Donโt enter the raffles unless you want to be flooded everyday with useless sales papers and phone messages. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
We have gone to the CC lunch because of doing a B2B. We were also able to do the Luminae lunch when in a suite. Neither one is anything to get excited about. It is a lunch. Think about it What do you normally have for lunch? This is a time to try something different that may not appeal to you. You may find a new favorite. It is basically something to hold you over until dinner and if it isnโt enough there is always something available later in the the day in the buffet It is basically a time to be able to relax after the tiring and maybe stressful morning by being served instead of the self serve hog trough.

We do the same. Most times the wines listed arenโt available. I think they are there just to fill the menu. The sommelier also seems to like having the freedom of being able to recommend something. One of the reasons we enjoy a cruise is to be able to try different entrees, and drinks that we normally wouldnโt have. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

I was on the Seashore in Feb. The bourbon selection was very poor. If I recall Buffalo Trace was the only bourbon. They kept telling me that I the liquor supply hasnโt been distributed from the hold. It was only a 3 day cruise. A person that was on the previous cruise doing a B2B told me that they gave the same excuse on the last cruise. I am a bourbon drinker. Was very disappointed in the selection. We were in the YC. I am not a bourbon snob. I drink mostly bottom end like MM, Wild Turkey, Rebel (Yell). Four Roses, and yes J.T.S. Brown Fast Eddie โPreach. J.T.S. Brown, no glass, no iceโ. The Hustler. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Iโm Elite Plus but itโs my daughters first cruise
miched replied to british betty's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If you are on a E class ship it isnโt a benefit. M class. Why bother. When on board it doesnโt hurt to try. It depends on who is at the desk. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐
