And for the glacier viewing, as @Jim_Iain just said, it can get very cold.  As far as weather I've been in April, May, July, August and September.  Weather varied from nicely in the high 50s every day, to wet and rainly every day.  YMMV.

 

Have a blast.

I’m a Florida girl and the coldest I’ve ever been in my life has been on the helipad watching the icebergs calve. If it wasn’t for the kindness of the Canadian friends we met in the retreat the first day, we would have froze. They generously lent us their gear and we survived! We were colder than in Iceland and Antarctica. Still, Alaska, Antarctica,  and Iceland remain our favorite cruises, save for Galapagos, which is unsurpassed. 
 

I’m happily following along. 

The blue footed boobies were one of the highlights of the trip for us! Did you get to see any babies or yearlings?

Following along to share in the adventure. We sailed the Northern Loop on the Expedition in 2017, followed by the Machu Picchu extension. It was the best vacation we’ve ever had. Would love to go back someday. For now I’ll eagerly await to read your experiences. Enjoy!

I received the information I was looking for from another cruiser.  Thank you very much

Could you share it please? We’re doing this cruise next year and I’d like to know also. 

I download movies to my iPad that I’ve been wanting to watch. Also lots of books to my kindle. I think we’ve watched only one movie in all the years I’ve done this, but it’s nice to have the option. You can also download streaming series, of course. 

We were booked on this cruise with friends. We ended up having to cancel and planned a more extensive experience for the future.  Our hearts go out to everyone shattered by this violence. 

@Nixieh I’m very happy for you. Enjoy your cruise!

I cant remember a time when I wasn’t contacted by email. Now the phone calls are a different matter;  sometimes yes and sometimes not.

At home, I wash all my clothes on the delicate  cycle with cold water.  On X, I have had no problems with sending my clothes to laundry.  I do not sent items such as silk blouses (laundry did ruin one 6 or 7 years ago) or anything else I might be concern about about.  

I’m the same way with my laundry at home and I’ve had exactly the same experience with ship’s laundry. The only things I don’t send out are extreme delicates. I’ve never had anything shrink or be damaged in any way. The only quirk experienced was on our Antarctica cruise when I received one pair of someone else’s underwear! Don’t know how that happened. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Happy to hear your Sky suite experience has been positive. Thanks for taking the time to clue us in and looking forward to further information. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

We have no plans to book future cruises onboard. Usually we would book several along with our dear traveling companions. First of all, we’re no longer sure what the future has in store for our cruising experience. In the past we always knew what the Celebrity experience would provide, now we really have no clue. Secondly, combine that with the 10% non refundable suite pricing, in lieu of the $200 onboard deposit which has been standard…why would we? It it really a sad day for long time Celebrity loyalists. I really don’t know what we’ll do in the future, probably more land travel. We’ll surely miss the golden days of X, the spectacular service and the many friends we’ve met along the way.

Such a sweet Photo of your pup!

Thank you! He’s almost 16 and just as handsome and sweet as ever. 

It took several weeks for us to get an appointment in Orlando. As stated above, they give you approval then.  This was about 4 yrs ago. 

It has changed on my app. Go to Dining, bottom left of Home Screen, then hit Main Dining, and then Luminae.

  II haven’t noticed a difference in the chocolate croissants, but I’m a take one bite kind of gal.

We haven’t received any emails or any other form of communication from Celebrity regarding this change. We have four more cruises in sky suites in the next 10 months. Will see what happens on our next one in December. We’re looking at other lines and more land vacations in the meantime. 

Sorry to hear about your experience. I would be disappointed and angry, especially booking so far in advance. I wonder how they chose the cancellations?

@tigervixxxen We've had a lot of laundry done on Celebrity ships. I suspect small items like socks and undies are put in a mesh bag or similar. Larger items, including mens  undershirts have a small tag on a seam, usually shoulder, with the cabin #. It's always fun when you wear something you took on your last cruise, but don't wear often, to find that little tag.

Oh yes! Those annoying scratchy tags you find six months later that have stiffened and are now irritating. We’re always surprised and yet pleased for the reminder of an excellent journey!

Thank you all for your replies.  I may take an extra carry on luggage to South America.  With the weather being in the 80's in Buenos Aires, down to the 50's in Ushuaia, it's like packing for two seasons.

That would be a wise choice. We found the extremes in weather to be even wider and don’t forget the wind/rain factor. Have a wonderful time!

You’re so welcome. Enjoy your cruise!

It is one device per person at one time. With two people you can each be online with your own device. If you want to switch from phone to iPad, for example, you will need to log out the phone and log in with iPad. Each person has their own account and password.

Great to know - do you remember where you got it?

We bought it on Amazon.

They absolutely should have given a heads up. I think new CEO has no problem slithering under he door when our backs are turned.
