Lars5 Posted February 10, 2022 #77 Share Posted February 10, 2022 New to Celebrity and will be sailing on the Apex in a couple weeks. While I have reserved several Speciality Restaurants for our cruise, we chose Anytime Dining for the MDR meals. I just noticed there are reservations for Complimentary Dining on the website. Do I need to have made reservations for Tuscan, Normandie......??? Times are quite limited now and I will be annoyed if I didn't know this was necessary!! I just assumed Anytime meant Anytime??

Reservations are available but not required. It is possible to go to any MDR and request a table. It is possible that there will be a wait, but you absolutely can just go to dinner whenever you like.

All you do is go to one of the several Queue lines and step up to the Video Camera mounted on a pole. You look into the monitor, drop your mask, and in two seconds it will confirm your identity as a US Citizen and you can proceed. No need to show your passport. Best thing to ever happen at a cruiseport! Canadians walk off this way also. But they do tell you to have your passport handy in case your face has changed?

No missed ports you could explore all of them on your own. 3. All shows went as scheduled. 4. I was given a regular surgical mask at one of the restaurants but never saw them giving anyone a N95. sounds like a good cruise then given how things could have gone. I am doing the Edge this fall and hoping for the best as well. If they have the Deal no Deal game, I will skip as I don't really understand it and there are other things like the marriage show. toodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never reserved and just showed up and always got seated immediately. Plenty of empty tables granted we ate at 7 don't know what would have happened if we showed up earlier but doubt it would have been a problem.

babjlb Posted February 14, 2022 #83 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm very confused about the posts about masks. We were on the Celebrity Edge in November and no masks were required. I don't see anything about mask requirements currently on the Celebrity Covid 19 page?? We are thinking of book in mid-march but will not book if masks are required on board.

Note the last sentence. Can not predict the future. While OnboardEffective February 12, 2022 face masks will be optional on board for vaccinated guests unless attending activities in The Theatre or Casino. Masks will continue to be required for unvaccinated guests, at all times indoors, except while eating or drinking. This policy will be re-evaluated on a continuous basis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarKay525 Posted February 14, 2022 #85 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi - thanks for answering questions. While compiling info about Edge, I saw the Retreat referenced as an "adults only Lounge and Sundeck." I know Aqua is adults only, but I thought families could book suites. Are minors not allowed in the Retreat Lounge & on the Sundeck if their families are in suites, or is this just misinformation. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted February 15, 2022 #86 Share Posted February 15, 2022 If we can get the number of passengers onboard each week it would be interesting since the masking portocols have chaneged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Reading the newspaper might be a “no-no” depending on how they display their pics. I found any sort of media (pics, gifs, JPEGs, etc) would hang up the standard browsing. I had NO issues with the streaming internet plan. But, this was on the EDGE this past summer. Things may have changed on the APEX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruiserKris34 Posted February 20, 2022 #91 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi! Some coffee questions 🙂 Do they have flavored creamers? Can I get like a sugarfree latte, meaning with sugar free syrup and unsweetened almond milk (like NutPods or something similar)? We do have the basic drink package. Also, any trouble getting lounge chairs by the main pool on sea days? Royal was always horrible with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't answer the coffee question, but these days, with only 1100+ onboard, chairs shouldn't be an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted February 20, 2022 #93 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I believe they have at least sugar-free vanilla syrup. Anyway they used to. I get skinny lattes all the time then just add Equal. or Splenda, both of which they have at Al Baccio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Queenie Posted February 20, 2022 #94 Share Posted February 20, 2022 On Apex now in the Retreat and there were children and babies last week and this week. Roughly 1100 onboard last week and 1500 this week. Heard from crew no Covid positive tests last week so that has been great news! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimbecky Posted February 21, 2022 #95 Share Posted February 21, 2022 DH and I enjoy sitting with other people each evening. Are they still allowing you to request to sit with other people (say an 8 top table) and does it seem that others are still open to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
