Thanks so much. Now I have to talk to friends in England to see if they want to do the Jazz Cruise.

Yes

I did a quick look to see who chartered the cruise. Does anyone know who chartered the 12 Sept 2025 Pacific cruise on the Summit. Our TA sent me the following from X.

No corking fee if you open the wine bottle in your cabin yourself. Then bring your glass of wine to dinner.

Do you have Celebrity Select Dining or Traditional Dining.

lol, way past my bedtime.

2 years ago at the Retreat Sun Deck on Millie. We did not have to show our Seapass to get drinks. Yes even 2 years is a long time with X. 🤪 What I was trying to get across was that drinks for the most part are free in the Retreat Lounge. At least last Nov they were. May not be free at The Retreat Sun Deck or The Retreat Pool Bar if you dont have a drink package. I dont have 1st hand knowledge as I seem to always have the PDP.

We sailing on the Edge back in 2019. When we got drinks at The Retreat Pool Bar. We had to show our Seapass card. We have never needed to show our Seapass card at The Retreat Lounge.

It has been my understanding that in general all drinks are free in The Retreat Lounge. There are exceptions, like a shot of Johnnie Walker Blue. Blended drinks could be a problem. It has been in the past. I have traveled with friends in suites that did not have a drink package. Drinks were free at The Retreat, but had to pay for drinks at dinner in Luminae.

It is my understanding that deck 6 has the smallest balcony. Do not really small.

Yes, must be done at time of booking.

Yes, after check in the is a large waiting area at pier 91. https://www.portseattle.org/places/smith-cove-cruise-terminal-pier-91

We boarded at Canada Place last Sept. As we entered there was a sign for The Retreat. Everything was smooth. It has been years, but I have seen Canada Place boarding to be trying.

I have stayed in the Aqua Sky Suites on Solstice, back when they were just Sky Suites. Other factors to take into considerate. Some of the forward Aqua SS are under the carpeted area. (like 2114 and 2115) Less noise from OVC. Other factor is Sunset Sky Suites on deck 12, you might hear noise from the outdoor area above. Aqua SS are in a great location. Right out to the pool and just one deck up to bring food from the OVC back to your suite. Also 2 of the Sunset Sky Suites have the window washer equipment. I dont remember what deck. Not deck 12.
