We are on this cruise next month and I want to add my thanks for your detailed, and entertaining, review!  I’m still trying to decide what clothes to pack, so if you have more suggestions about that, it would be appreciated.  
 

I’ll be following along for the rest of your journey!  

Thanks so much for sharing your personal stories and travel insights! We have this itinerary scheduled for August, so I’m following along.

We have an upcoming sailing on Reflection and are still having second thoughts about our excursions booked through Celebrity.  How big is the risk of contact tracing and quarantine due to someone on your excursion testing positive? Does anyone have actual experience, or knowledge, with this occurring?  

Has anyone tried to reschedule one of these free Blue Chip cruises before Celebrity canceled the cruise?  

In October, Celebrity arranged a free shuttle for us (and several other pax) from Summit over to Symphony OTS.  This was at the Miami port.  Check with Guest services to see what can be arranged for you.  It was very easy and convenient.  We did have to stand around outside for a few hours before boarding began on Symphony, but hard to complain about a S2S.  Enjoy!

Celebrity should be able to test you onboard the last full day of your cruise.  Just go to customer service desk the beginning of your cruise and let them know you need test to board your s2s cruise on royal.

We are trying to get confirmation from Celebrity that they will provide this for us. I would feel even more comfortable if someone posted their experience. 😎

We are considering this option for upcoming side-by-side cruises, on Celebrity and RCL. Testing is required to board the second cruise so we would test during the first cruise.   Has anyone done this?  Any issues we should be aware of?  

We are Diamond status on Royal and sailing for the first time on Celebrity as Elite next month. Is there a time limit for the 3 drink coupons each evening and are there any additional benefits on the evenings when there is no Elite gathering? I assume the coupons can’t be used in the MDR, but is there a corkage fee? Looking forward to maximizing the perks ;)

Jim, Thanks so much for sharing all the details and photos of your trip! We are on the SA to FLL repo in March and your experience has been so helpful! Safe travels home!

Fellow cruisers, I am boarding my return flight. Do any of you know where the diamond lounge is on this plane? Am I to understand that there are no clam shells by the pool at all?

Yes, there are clam shells but both of them have been reserved exclusively for our Pinnacle guests.

Thank you for being loyal to Royal.

We had a wonderful tour with NIE on a recent cruise to the beautiful island of Dominica and wanted to help spread the word about their dire situation. Here is the web site they have established to help with relief efforts.
