smogfarmgirl Posted February 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2020 We are headed on our first cruise, on infinity next month. So excited! My question is… I’ve been reading the threads about invites to a Sail Away party, and who is invited. Is this a thing for aqua class, or just suites and elite CC, or is it random too?

marieps Posted February 5, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2020 It's generally extended to roll call members on Cruise Critic. Have you joined your cruise's roll call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogfarmgirl Posted February 5, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Not yet, thanks for the idea. So it’s not something done through X, but from CC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcrusn Posted February 5, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The Cruise Connections Party mentioned by @hcat above is in addition to the Sail Away parties that many Roll Calls have at the Sunset Bar following muster drill. They are usually held on the morning of the first sea day, but if your cruise has the minimum 25 you'll receive an invitation in your cabin if you've signed up.

Pushka Posted February 5, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Sail away parties are organised by connected passengers eg through CC and sometimes through book pages outside of CC and not by the cruise line. Nothing to do with which cabin you’ve booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Raider Posted February 5, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2020 If you are speaking about the invitation to attend the sail away on the helipad with the ship's officers (not all, of course, but several in attendance), that is usually extended through the Captain's Club host or the Hotel Director and usually to zenith, elite plus and suite passengers. It's a great event if you are invited. Be sure to wear closed toed shoes or you will not be able to attend. As for the sail away party that is set up via Cruise Critic, simply join the roll call and any online sign up. Also a pretty event if there are enough people and you've made plans with others from the roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are thinking about the Cruise Connections Party which you have to sign up on line. You get an invite in your stateroom. Mostly held the next day after embarkation. Here's a link to sign up: https://www.celebritycruises.com/cruise-critic-connections The ship usually holds a sail away party on the pool deck. No invitation. Everyone is invited. Informal sail away parties are held by those on the Roll Call, usually at the Sunset Bar right after the Muster Drill. 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted February 6, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Being in AQ you should have a bottle of Bubbly in your cabin that you can pop and enjoy on your balcony while sailing away. Or you can take it to the sail away party by the pool area, shake it up and pop it to spray everyone around you or the passengers on the deck below. 🤗 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2theship Posted February 6, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We have gotten invitations to the helipad sailway from certain ports and it's always fun to attend. We're Elite and sail in Aqua Class, I'm not sure which gets us the invitation. They will serve sparkling wine at the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
