Skipro62. Thanks. That is the type of answer I was looking for. I think this should keep her happy so I can work on her in good conscious. 😀

Potential first time Celebrity cruiser but have sailed on RC, Princess, Carnival, Disney, HAL and Cunard. Looking at what is offered on Celebrity. I am eyeing a Western Caribbean run on Beyond. I am a as long as I am on a cruise I am happy person. However my wife likes to keep busy by attending shows and other activities. Things like musical reviews, show, comedians. Would there be enough of these type of things to keep her happy?

Thanks. In regards to eating sushi with fingers. From my understanding it is perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with fingers in Japan

Since you are spending so much time in lounges can you take a gander of what brand(s) of non alcholic beer they have available? Not being judgemental before my liver issues and transplant 8 weeks ago. I would spend a lot of time in lounges reading and enjoying a glass of wine or a mixed drink. Now that is not an option for future cruises so reading and enjoying mocktails and NA beer is in my future.

My tennis shoes always become untied and they stay on even for the 10k walk I used to do once or twice a week. Now I am limited to about a 1 1/2 to 2 miles while I recover from a major surgery, but they still stay on even untied. 🙂

I should have included a smiley face. I was being a bit facetious, as you would have to look really closely to figure out that they are fake. It really doesn't matter to me if I have to go barefooted.

Stingray Sailing is what I have in mind as it is closest to what we have done in the past. Do you far beforehand do they open for booking?

Sure they can afford to test, but on the bean counters hat. It is a cost center so a possibility for an expense reduction which increases net revenue. Other companies have different business models that include updates "certified" for prior versions of OSes. Not saying that Celebrity (RCCL) is right or wrong, just that their business seems to be different.

There is a cost going forward. As they make tweaks to the app. They have to do retro testing to make sure the tweeks work on prior versions of the OS. They have decided to stop doing this testing for versions of OS prior to IOS17

Wonder what they would think about my Sketchers. They are slip on but have fake laces

Thanks, haven't quite that far. Still need to run this by the wife as Celebrity will be new to us. I am pretty easy going, get me on a ship that is running an itinerary I am interested in and I am happy, my wife on the other hand.... 😉

Thanks for the information. If all goes well, I will be celebrating my one year post liver transplant. I understand about the differences between ship provided excursions vs book on your own, and have it both ways on other cruises and other ports. Just making sure that a catamaran tour would still be available, since I like it better than the motorized pontoon barge boats. And yes I know they may not put up the sails because of no wind but definitely better experience than the barges I haven't been able to make any trips for the last year and half, and still can't go internationally until my one year point, i.e. 2025. We love to cruise and haven't been to Grand Cayman for several years. I found a cruise on the Beyond that stops at Grand Cayman and Coco Caye, that was reasonably prices. We have done the Eastern/Caribbean runs so often that we generally don't do excursions, but Sting ray city never gets old and we like Coco Caye. Looking at trying a different line that had reasonable prices. This one intrigues me.

Somewhat related question. I have never taken a Celebrity cruise. If I book a Celebrity cruise does my RC ststus mstch start on the first cruise or the second cruise. At one time you weren't considered psrt of thrir loyalty program until you took your first cruise.

New to Celebrity but veteran Royal Caribbean cruiser among other lines. One of my favorite excursions is a catamaran ride to and back from Stingray City in Grand Cayman? Does Celebrity offer this? I looked on the Celebrity website but I don't think they have lozded the brochures for the time frame we are contemplating for next year.

How do you like the mid day time change? Several years ago we did a eastbound QM II TA where they changed the clocks at night. I liked this as I am not normally a breakfast eater so missing that to get sleep was not a big deal.
