captdave Posted May 9, 2015 #76 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Didn't bring a camera onboard -- just using my iPhone. Shirley Thanks for answering so quickly. Puerto Vallarta, wife was really forward to that one. Maybe it will all be figured out by September. We don't need another sea day, rather stay overnight in Cabo on the way down, that would be fun!

Rare Cruise Raider Posted May 9, 2015 #77 Share Posted May 9, 2015 because all of the cabins have been designated as sold out for consecutive cruises. In the past it when something. Like that happened the cruises were canceled and many were left stranded at the last moment stuck with many reservations for tours, flights, hotels and etc. Thanks happy cruising Same thing for all the September 2016 as well as those October 2016 cruises and then it opens back up on October 27th. I am also concerned because I booked a B2B on the Infinity for this Sept and my Alaska portion of the cruise was cancelled. Other than $200 in OBC, which is ok compensation (just ok, not great), they didn't offer anything else for the inconvenience. But they did it way ahead of time so guess that is something. Just makes me think they might be doing the same thing....or maybe thinking about an extensive dry dock ...or maybe selling her, looking into other itineraries????? Weird thing, the price posted for the available suites goes up a lot if you try a dummied up booking. That makes me even more suspicious. Now....if they are thinking of bringing her back to SF ...I AM ALL IN!! It is such a shame that we got a beautiful new port and Celebrity has just pulled out of SF.

hulamoon Posted May 9, 2015 #78 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Maybe it will be a floating hotel again in the Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley C Posted May 9, 2015 Author #79 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm sure they won't know onboard. Not worth asking. Glad things are going well on Infinity as we board her next Friday! Linda The crew has been excellent. You will have a great time. Noro precautions are in place, but not really affecting our enjoyment at all. One of the best cruises we've taken.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted May 10, 2015 #80 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Are any of the other questions worth asking or even reading? :confused: happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌞 How could you possibly expect the crew on the ship to know about other sailings? That's not their job. That's handled shoreside. Those who have those concerns should take them up with Celebrity, not pester a current passenger who has very graciously shared her experiences with us.

Rare hcat Posted May 10, 2015 #81 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Crew , and officers, Cd, sometimes know things about future schedules ... worth a shot asking on board because those of us booked for Oct 17th 2016, and other Oct Infinity cruises are in the dark....the Celeb website shows all cabins booked except suites..strange and no answers forthcoming Interestingly, these itins ABC Island cruises were also listed for booking of new Sea & Stay vacation....but now say booked So if someone on board can ask, it'd be appreciated..We often inquire about menus, make res on bd for others..etc.....and do not feel pestered when asked....so not an outlandish thing to ask of others in our Cruise Critic Community to those on board..have a great cruise and noro precautions work....

We had him on Connie last fall. If so, I'll have to stop in and say hello. Sadly, not in the PH this cruise. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have emailed back and forth a few times about pre cruise requests and he seems very nice. We where spoiled last year on Infinity with Kim Reed she just got off solstice last week and is home with family for a while. We still keep in contact on *book.

Rare uktog Posted May 11, 2015 #89 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Shirley Thanks for all your posts. I am excited now about my trip and hope Lenny is on for a few more cruises. A daft question as this is our first cruise since the benefits. I see people talking about responding to the concierges email with requests etc. we have always been sort it out when we get there people though I must confess boarding day can be a bit frazzled when we are doing that so my question is, without getting too personal - what do you ask the concierge to do in response to their welcome email to you? And thanks again for your updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the PH, so we had some specific requests regarding the liquor in the cabin, who our butler was going to be, etc. I also asked him when the formal nights were going to be. You can really ask him anything. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that will be one query! Thanks for making our trip easier!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcclfanbp Posted May 11, 2015 #93 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think the house band onboard is D'Revelations. If so, I hope you enjoy them. We really enjoyed hearing them perform (especially the lead singer - Sindy) on prior cruises. I believe their contract expires in June' 15, so I am not sure what the future holds for them. Thank you for taking us along on your vacation. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted May 11, 2015 #94 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Does Lenny assist those who reside in sky suites? Lenny is the concierge in Michael's Club to which sky suites do not have access. If you want access to Michael's and all that comes with it, you need to pay more for a higher-level suite. I don't know why you feel you are a peon in a sky suite. You get to eat in the suite restaurant and you have a butler. The amenities are based on how much you pay for your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise47 Posted May 11, 2015 #98 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi We're on the Infinity 15 night Panama Canal cruise next March in an A1. If people are having to wait 2 hours for Luminae, I'm guessing many will be trying to eat elsewhere. Do you have any idea whether the introduction of Luminae has impacted the queues for Blu? Thanks What is the dinner reservation time that is causing this problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
