My first and only thought is: "Who is Abraham Hicks and why should I care?"

Too bad you didnt think about your friend Google

It’s very difficult to find out if there are large groups on board because many of them are private groups, corporate groups, family groups, or others that don't advertise.

Will you have children in tow? Do you have any mobility issues? What do you like to do? How do you feel about local cuisine?

Our friends are sailing in Concierge class, but we have a standard infinite veranda on Beyond. Would X allow us to join them for the embarkation lunch, or are they pretty strict about who can go to the MDR? It’s totally understandable if we can’t go, but was just curious if we have the option. 

You have to show Your card to get in and the cards are color-coded so they know right away who is Concierge Class and who isn’t.  Expect to be turned away.

When you walk in the door at the retreat, they know that you are in a suite, and all drinks served in the retreat are free.  It doesn’t matter that you got to the suite through a move up bid or by paying full fare

I’m sorry if this has been answered before. I looked on the website but I’m still confused. Is there a separate lounge on the E class ships for Elite tier? I understand that there is a “happy hour” where you get certain drinks off a special menu for free at most bars, but is there also a separate lounge to get a coffee in the morning or to have happy hour? Thanks

If you are coming from Royal you are used to the diamond lounge. Celebrity has no such thing. They do offer a continental breakfast in one of the restaurants, usually Tuscan, from 8 to 10 in the morning. You can get specialty coffees, Bellini’s, and bloody Mary’s there.  In the evening from 5-7 you can order drinks from the Elite Happy hour menu at most bars but not in restaurants.

I know, we love the Edge class.  So we may just stick with them.  Thought we may do Silhouette or Reflection but it sounds like Reflection has not had a redo in years.  We dislike worn out carpets, furniture, etc so we are also trying to find out what condition Reflection is in.  

Worn out carpets are quickly replaced. You won’t find anything that looks shabby on reflection

That won’t work if the hotel is in Tokyo

My husband has some medical problems and I need to ship some things to the cruise ship.  I had 3 companies that I could use and cannot find my notes now.  Does anyone know who I could use?  They were very inexpensive.  Thank you in advance.

There is a company called Luggage ship which can ship a suitcase to a cruise ship

It appears that their hotel is in Tokyo so nowhere near the ship

None of the recent emails gave power up points, did they?

It wasn’t an E class ship but that’s how it was on the Summit a few months ago. We made anytime dinner reservations which they had in their system when we boarded and there were 2 lines. One for reservations and one without. The one without was long! Hope it’s the same for us in a few weeks on Beyond. 

Summit Is an M ship. They operate differently than the E  ships

So if it is arriving on time, why are people worried about their flight? The delayed boarding is probably due to all the formalities that take place when a ship comes to the US from Europe, extra immigration on the crew, possible public health inspections, things like that

It would be no problem to get keys to each other’s rooms and change out who sleeps where

If they were in their own room by themselves you cant just put two new people in that room.  One of the original passengers must remain, and teen you can make a substitution for the other one.  So if they were in their own room and both wan’t to cancel, you are out of luck. Sorry

  We will be on a Celebrity cruise and are looking to book a Royal Caribbean cruise. Can they do this at the Future Cruise desks? Also, do they offer incentives like they do when booking a Celebrity cruise such as reduced deposit and additional OBC?

You can certainly book a Royal cruise when you are on a celebrity cruise.  It will be just as if you were on a royal cruise and you will get whatever booking incentives are in play at that time. The Celebrity staff won’t know the Royal ships very well, so come prepared with which ship and stateroom you are interested in.

Yes!  Guest Services has that form if it is for tipping.  Are you talking about the fact that you did not pay gratuities up-front?  I believe that works too, but not the same form.  We do extra tips from our OBC, but Celebrity has hanged the rules on gratuities...

No form needed for the daily gratuities

One piece of advice is to make sure that your name is actually on the list on day one of the cruise because you can’t sign up for the program partway through the cruise. Even though you may sign up pre-cruise online, confirm it at guest relations who can check to see if your name is on the list that is sent to the housekeeping department

Because as you said, the Elite events aren't in the app. That way, fewer people will wander in and wonder why they're excluded.

 

Could Celebrity program the app so events show for Elites only? Probably. But they need to make it work first.

Sollan, Are the other events, like Mixology, showing on the list of benefits?  Is it only the breakfast that is missing?

There are some fairly recent reports in this thread

You can’t. The points don’t transfer. Celebrity will give you a courtesy enrollment at a matching level to your current royal level but you will have zero CELEBRITY points.  You have to accumulate celebrity points on celebrity and Royal points on Royal.

Nope, never, nada, nyet

I thought that was a one day special on November 9 only?..

Finally, someone who answers the actual question instead of just giving their unneeded comments.  Thank YOU Jelayne!

 

Sheesh!  I said I watched the YouTube videos and know what I'm getting into as far as not a traditional balcony.  My ONLY question was about the possibility of bringing a curtain and what size I would need.  I obviously don't mind "lugging" it.  I didn't pose the question because I needed some negative people to tell me they don't know how to be helpful.  HA!

Has anyone else stopped receiving Captains Club Power Up Emails? I stopped receiving Power Up Point emails from Captains Club back in March 2023. I did not unsubscribe, have tried re-subscribing and yes I get the multiple marketing emails each day from Celebrity but never from Captains Club. 

 

I have tried this: Opt-in: Log on to your Celebrity account > Click the top Celebrity Logo > Click your name (on right) > Click the "Subscribe" envelope icon at the upper-right > enroll.

 

It takes me between the US and Canadian site (I am Canadian). There is no Subscribe envelope on the upper right only the one on the left and that does not seem to work either. Have asked Captains Club and they said I am subscribed and should get them, but myself (and my husband's separate account no longer receive them). Anyone else familiar with this

 

(I am 1 point shy of Elite and just want laundry LOL).

They’ve stopped coming to me, too.  No idea why.
