    Emergency drill

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    Since most cruises are 7 days or more and we give a liberal 2 hours for the drill, this consists of less than .02% of the lost cruise time.

    Now, if you don’t go to the drill and there is a disaster and panic with people not knowing what to do, I’m not sure how to calculate that lost life and limb time.

    Is a Sky Suite worth the premium over AquaClass?

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    We had an entirely different experience. The first time was before the “Suite Life.” We had a great butler. He appeared every time we needed him, sometimes even before we called.

    We had breakfast in our suite everyday but the rest of the meals we dined in on of the restaurants. (No one should see me before my first cup of coffee.)

    Since the “Suite Life,” each trip, Micheal’s Club was great. We never had a problem and always received personal service. Since there were so few people, and the same ones every night, the bartenders came to know our tastes and even made custom drinks for us to try. Needless to say, we rarely used any other bar besides Michael’s.

    Same with Luminae. It was marvelous. The service was spot on. The sommelier was amazing.

    Some things I would keep in mind is setting expectations. Embarkment day is crazy. Asking for special services those days could take a bit more time for them to do. Even in the Royal Suite, when we asked to switch out our champagne with wine, our butler looked at us politely and stated he will do it as soon as he could.

    FYI. Don’t think that the top suites are the only ones who get the attention and the best staff. Our butler in our first Sky Suite was far better than any of the others.

    Pre-cruise Marriott hotel in Miami

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    We stayed at the JW Marriott last year and booked it again this year. Rooms are great and the view of the port is nice. We were able to see our ship docked.

    My opinion of Marriott Biscayne Bay is a little biased since the upgraded us to the bedroom suite over looking the water. I still dream of that room.

    Now We Need an Elevator Pass!

    ...For those cruisers who are without PERKS or "perk less," you may be allowed to purchase an elevator pass with your OBC. There will only be a limited number of passes for each sailing, so make sure that you sign up and pay, at least 24 hours after your luggage arrives. These passes are good for either up or down and pass for the length of the cruise. You are able to receive your pass if you can prove that you are perkless, are the first in your family to sail and have used an elevator in the past. You will receive a special permit to board any elevator on the ship...remember that there are only a limited number being sold. If you don't get one this time, you are out of luck! Ask any crew member for details as soon as you board... ***This pass can be discontinued at any time for any reason! (fine print) Sorry, but our ropes have not arrived from our distributor...

    Well according to OP, the only ones to get the passes are the perkless people.

    Where do I register my complaints? I am in a suite. I paid enough. I should get a pass. To heck with every else. They can use the ropes.[emoji3]

    Fun Factory: Alaska

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    I don't think I have the dailies, but some activities they had were talent show, backstage tour, bridge tour, and family game night. We were on the Infinity in September to Hubbards Glacier.

    Do you have any questions?

    New to Celebrity - A few Q

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    My kids loved the Fun Factory (6 and 9.) Since X is usually focused on a more mature crowd, there isn't much activities for kids outside of the FF. But the counselors are great, they keep them active from morning to evening and even so late night pajama parties (until 1:00 am.) My kids practically dragged us out of bed so they could get there first thing. And we were dragging them out at night.

    The only little complaint I had was the family activities weren't well announced. The kids put on a talent show and only half the parents showed up because it wasn't posted as you sign in.

    Has anyone brought their Coravin on board?

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    I have never had an issue with finding a nice wine by the glass. And I am a wine snob. If your ship has a Cellar Masters on it, you really shouldn't have any troubles. Talk to the sommelier, they are usually very helpful.

    I'm wondering if Celebrity might have a substitute solution for a Coravin for their guests on board.

    I don't if there is a way to book a transfer without buying your flight through Choice Air. If it was me, I would rebook the flight for the previous day.
