  1. Last cruise restaurant opened at 630 for pastries and fruit and one egg station opened up at 7am second one was up and running by 745 or so. Was not on E class, S class Caribbean sailing
  2. The wine lists presented on the app before you board and even when you board are pointless. Best is get on board find a sommelier and they can give you what is actually available. My last few cruises have done this and found many wines that are not listed and able to get by the glass.
  3. I love these stupid questions Okay why.\, most likely Caribbean cruise...where jeans please and complain the next day it was so hot in the mer.....stupid people.
  4. That was my first cruise. ignore Horizon was my first celebrity cruise.
  5. Did you get the drink package with your reservation as part of All Included or did you purchase the drink package separately and have a room only rate. If you purchased it after booking the cruise reservation its in your planner and just go to order history and you can cxl it there. .
  6. Not saying it is happening but knowing one of my family it probably will happen. So they won't have an express pass etc, they will have all their papers passport etc.
  7. With Aqua sky suite you have access to Lumanie and Blu based on availability. The other pay for specialty restaurants are not included and would be pay if you decided to go. . All drinks up to the Premium price limit of 17 are included. Anything over the premium price you would owe the difference plus 20% grat. For example drink cost 18 you would owe 1 plus 20% or 1.20 Wifi has vastly improved on Celebrity ships overall I have never had issues with the Premium wifi. Laundry not included in Aqua Spa Suites or sky suites.
  8. Kind of both. They do a “mini” treatment and then also recommend and try to sell things to you. Me and my friend do them and there good overall but never felt pressured to buy anything.
  9. 86 per day is not to bad for the all included package. I have never had trouble with using the loungers in any of the Persian Gardens. yes there are some people who make it there home for the day but I always was able to get a bed and use the rooms without issue. Blu I prefer and completely enjoy going to. I usually book aq class rooms as I know I would use the persian and enjoy blu, especially the breakfast and choices for dinner, I always find plenty to have. If you hit a sale you might be able to save on the drink packages as they just are all over the place, same with wifi. The drinks below you would need to add 20% onto the final cost for grats. Are these prices every sailing, no they are all different overall. This is on a sailing I have coming up. I would also reccomend, tho not allowed to mention, check out some Cruise Travel agents as they might have group rates for rooms. I know on the upcoming cruise I got my AL package for less than what Celebrity was selling the room only for when I booked.
  10. They use to do it, I know I purchased it years ago before drink packages. Have not seen it for a few years now
  11. No need to do it, they will take a picture at the port. They have had it for a while, I have uploaded pic but they always retook it.
  12. I don't choose based on vacations or anything based on loyalty programs. All of them are so watered down at this point its not worth it. If one does based solely on loyalty programs, to me, not to others probably, it is a foolish way to pick travel.
  13. You can, but I would get the premium and just watch sales as I got premium upgrade for 6.99 pp pd over Christmas time. Been running constant sales
  14. Sorry it happened and glad you had the Chase card with booking. Not knowing what your insurance you had is completely on you. Also not knowing how points are accrued is also on you. Your entitled to your opinion but I am on the opposite side of this and agree it is based on being onboard not money spent.
  15. Exactly, then all the rooms that my parents had booked and paid for family, Parents would have been way over Zenith. Its part of the t&C on how points are accrued, have to be on the sailing.
  16. Think of it this way, Titos vodka is on the premium list so any drink with Titos will probably star around 12 or more. Bullet would also be on premium and I would guess that is closer to 15-17 per drink. The premium spirits vs classic are just based off brands for the drink prices. I do not have the list of which alcohols etc are on the premium vs classic, and I doubt anyone really has a new an updated one as this has changed a few times since the beginning of the year overall. An never mind someone above posted the newer vs of the classic vs premium alcohols.
  17. I used the sauna but I tend to use them twice a day at times. The constellation Persian are ok, nothing great. I ended up paying for the pass, but I know I use it.
  18. Honestly I think the last time I went to any of the CC events was on Mercury. Many I get, do have a preference for it. I mainly sailed with the drink package since its been out there, as always able to get a great rate thru my TA. Not that Im anti social but when I travel and vacation I zone out in every way possible. I use to work a very hectic job, running hotels/resorts/rest etc. I enjoy going to WCB and Sunset to relax have a good cocktail or 2...3...4 etc.
  19. It can easily be done Just tried and was able to bypass the page where asking for more for refundable deposit. No pics as not on computer right now. Question should be more that why wouldn't you want to see all options overall and just go straight to payment after pick room and not be aware of any of the choices.
  20. Exactly, it is only maybe if someone books a room only cruise where it might be beneficial overall to me, tho I usually can get a rate from my TA for the AI that is just about the same as room only with Celebrity, or have in the past, so the added WIFI is no value. I have rarely ever ordered room service, and the shows I dont go often tbh.
  21. On board only, like others said the info will be in your room when you go drop your luggage off. Usually have to call or find the CC hosts to sign up for this. I have skipped this in the past as usually have bev package.
  22. That was one of the perks that I am curious about. Honestly I usually board around 1 most of time and luggage has always been to room by 4 or so the latest. Not a major thing at all overall. I have my carry on and everything I need for 2-3 days in it so not a major need in premium access pass. Could see value for some who want the special seating for shows and or do use a lot of room service. Value wise I don’t see it a need for myself.
  23. The pricing really depends, on many/all of my cruises with Celebrity my TA has been able to give me an all included rate that was most of the time better than what Celebrity was charging for room only or barely higher. I have not tried booking any Celebrity cruises lately since they took out the grats part as I already had booked to the end of 2025 with River Cruises and switch to Small Ships and different land based trips.
  24. Are they more expensive than my at home ones, yes. Do I find them worth it on board, that is also a yes. I always get either a good facial, massage, body wrap and find them very good. I have never been pressured into buying anything, yes there is a sales pitch but all I say no thankyou and it is always ended at that. The main thing with at home, I have been seeing the same therapist for 10 years and knows my body. I always make sure I have one right before the cruise from her. I also book on board as its a different type of thing, its a vacation and its part of enjoying it for myself
