It has never been open when we were on that ship. Door locked, lights off.

The ship’s water has no salt so something else is to blame

Paper is very much the norm, as you observed

Room numbers might help

Why do you need to pay for the flight before Final Payment? And if you must, then you should probably contact the travel agency you used to see how to make the payment

As far as I know, it has never been offered at that port

If you are worried, bring a change of clothes and all necessary medications, and some extra cash and don’t forget your passport🤓

This has to be a mistake, yes?

Long pants are the requirement for the dining room and specialty restaurants on Celebrity, he can change into shorts after dinner.

A quick search of Cruise Critic found this thread

Check back in November

With Royal and Celebrity under the same corporate umbrella, I can see that as a possibikiy. Going to Princess miht be quite a different story.

Where did you get the idea that the ship is docking there? The screenshot you provided says it is a tender port.

It’s way too soon to come to the conclusion that Celebrity has gone back to plastic fleetwide. Maybe the aluminum ones just weren’t available on your sailing

Its basically just a simple cancellation of the first two cruises and leaves the third one untouched. They are three independent cruises and you should not be forced to reprice the third one. Although you may lose the hundred dollars discount, often you don’t because they don’t notice it

Perhaps there will be some insight if you look at it historically. The Captains Club happy hour was in the back long before there was such a thing as a beverage package, when all drinks were purchased one at a time. In those days, the happy hour included passed hors d’oeuvres, that took time and effort by kitchen staff and waitstaff. On turnaround day, there are almost always dozens of new staff members who join tge ship in the morning and have precious little time to settle in and jump on their new duties. Some barely know their way around the ship. Having a slightly lighter load for the first evening made perfect sense from a staffing point of view. Also, since it was available to Captains Club elite and above only, it gave the Captains Club host a little time to determine who was eligible to attend. It became especially tricky in the years when paper coupons were in use. These were put in your state room but in the case where a stateroom might have been missed, it gave the Captains Club host a day to fix the errors, and a happy hour started on day two. Move forward to the introduction of beverage packages. Everyone who wanted a beverage would be purchasing one, giving the opportunity for the bar staff to sell a beverage package. Today, for anyone who has a beverage package included in their booking, the happy hour is probably superfluous— Whether it is offered on embarkation day or not makes no difference to them. And for those who do not have a beverage package they would be buying their drink that night s has always been the case. So there really isn’t any incentive or advantage to Celebrity to change. It has always been thus, and probably always will be.

You can have a look at the app to see the wine list for blue, knowing that it might be completely different by the time you sail. For issues like this, there is a lot of variation depending on the bartender and the server. I don’t think there’s a definitive answer to your question

Can you book the excursions you prefer privately? What’s wrong with the excursions on offer through Celebrity?

You ask if this is new, no it isn’t. You just haven’t been to these ports before.
