Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Don't see a problem here, but if you're a little bit unsure of anything, then a call to Celebrity isn't a bad thing to do. If there is a mix-up then it's easier to fix it now rather than wait until it becomes an issue later. Have a great cruise!
  2. it won't work on Apple 6 and below that. My DW had to change her phone. The IOS that you need will not work on those phones.
  3. We are in Ontario Canada. Three hours ahead of Vancouver.
  4. So Vancouver is 3 hours behind us. That means 3 a.m. here correct?
  5. Hi all. According to the app for our cruise, our check in time is this Thursday (Wednesday) at 12:01. Is that ship time or our time? I guess you can tell I'm getting excited. TIA
  6. I paid the flights in Canadian dollars but not the baggage fee or the seat selection.
  7. We booked our flights with Celebrity for our Alaska cruise out of Vancouver. We are in Ontario and are flying West Jet to Vancouver and Air Canada back to Toronto. West Jet the bags are included and Air Canada there is a charge for the bags in U.S. dollars. The reason for the price in U.S. dollars is charged is because the flights are being done through a third party (Celebrity) that is based in the U.S., therefore the price for the bags is charged in U.S. dollars. The same goes for booking your seats in advance. We were charged in U.S. dollars for the seats. You can save the cost on the seats all together if you don't book your seats until you do your check-in for your flight. They will show you what seats are available for you. If you don't care where you are sitting or you don't mind not sitting with your partner, then wait and choose your seats when you check-in for your flight. Check-in for the flight is usually 24 - 48 hours before your flight is scheduled for take off. Hope this helps.
  8. Lots of Utube videos available for viewing. We just watched one that has a 25 minute tour of the ship from top to bottom that was very good. We haven't been on the Solstice and are going on her to Alaska this May. We have been on the other three S class ships. You can also just explore the ship and all that it has when you board her and find out stuff on your own. It can be fun to explore and uncover things that are new and exciting. Have a great time!
  9. That's what I was looking at too. Could you please get back to me and let me know how the monocular worked out for you? TIA
  10. Thanks for all the advice. We are going to Alaska by the way. I was told on the other CC board that the question might be better asked on the Celebrity forum because we are sailing Celebrity. Sorry if this question is a little redundant. The obvious answer is to bring my own. Thanks for proving to my wife that I was correct. This doesn't happen very often.
  11. Hi all. We are sailing on the Celebrity Solstice this May and I have two questions. #1 are there binoculars available in all the rooms that we can use? #2 If not, is it worth it to purchase a pair before we sail? Any helpful advice would be appreciated. TIA

    Binoculars

    Hi all. We are sailing on the Celebrity Solstice this May and I have two questions. #1 are there binoculars available in all the rooms that we can use? #2 If not, is it worth it to purchase a pair before we sail? Any helpful advice would be appreciated. TIA
  13. We booked a walking tour that was not part of a Celebrity excursion a few years ago that was very informative and we met our guide in a piazza not too far from the ship at 10:00 a.m. Maybe do the same and meet up with them that way. Just a thought.
  14. At dinner in any of the restaurants I always refer to the sommelier when choosing a wine with my dinner. Make sure he or she knows you have the premium package and they will suggest a wine that will be paired with your meal. I also ask for Decoy red wine before dinner and Macallan whiskey when I'm in the mood for it. I seem to be in the mood for one a lot.
  15. Thanks for all the insightful ideas and advice. We are cruising next May 26th (Sunday) so I would expect the traffic Might be a little lighter. Does the new extension to the Sky Train plan to be complete by next year? Anyway thanks again for the information.
