.... If so, at Guest Services?  TIA...

When we were on the Enchanted Princess in Feb 2024, a crew member had a little table set up right where we step onto the ship.

On the Princess web site, I can see Discovery Princess sailing to Mexico Rivera from 3/15 to 3/22 and Classic Calif Coast from 3/29-4/5 but nothing about 3/22-29. Is there any way to find out where she is going to be?

How were you able to find it in your Hyatt account? The only reference number I have is the one supplied by VT, and it does not register with the Hyatt site, it yields an error message.

I was able to look up my reservation last year. The only reason I called was because a few people here said if I attach the reservation to my World of Hyatt account I get free breakfast.

They have an interesting way of managing these VT bookings. I have a reservation for mid-October, confirmed by my VT Email. When I access my Hyatt account, there is no sign of that booking, and when I do a search using the confirmation number, there is still no sign of the booking.

The last time I used VT (for a December 2023 stay), I couldn't find the reservation under my Hyatt account but could find it with the VT confirmation number. When I called the World of Hyatt number, the rep was able to add the reservation to my Hyatt account even though I wouldn't earn any credit for the stay. The only difference after my call is they added a note about free breakfast to my reservation and it was not there before I called.

Are you not able to book Valuetrips for January? 

 I don't see any rates for then, but they have them from April on.

Rates for Jan-Mar used to be there, at least they were there last week. The rates were $239 Sun-Thurs and $289 Fri-Sat. I didn't book with them for my early Feb stay because my AAA rate was lower when I booked on the Hyatt website.

I booked Hyatt Place through Hotwire. Instead of a reservation number, I received a confirmation email with an "itinerary" number. When I entered the number at the Hyatt website, it didn't see it as a valid reservation number. Do I need to call Hyatt to confirm or can I convert the itinerary number to the actual reservation number? 

Why stress over this? When you are ready to go to the hotel, check uber/lyft apps for wait time and cost. If they are OK, order the ride. If the taxi line is short, take the taxi. If you don't mind the wait and cost, call the hotel shuttle.

We used Uber from FLL airport to Hyatt Place on 12/2/2023 at 9:00 PM for $15.90 before tips.

We also took Uber from Hyatt Place to Port Everglades (terminal 18) on 12/3/2023 at 10:40 AM for $9.91 before tips.

We have made the final payment with plus package included. Now I realize I have a few hundred dollars of OBC that I have no idea how to spend it. Can I cancel the plus package and buy it when I get on board?

If OBS is not refundable, how do you cash it out at the casino?

If you don't reserve a rider ahead, you can compare the costs of Lyft and Uber and go with the less expensive one when you are ready to go to the airport. Since your flight doesn't leave till 4, you can even save a few dollars by agreeing to a longer waiting time with Lyft.

A nice perk of being elite on celebrity is one free "bag" of laundry per member.

Had our turnaround day yesterday on the Odyssey. Received instructions 2 days before end of our 1st cruise. Met at 270 in the morning.. they checked our name off the list and gave us our new card. Walked us off the ship around 9:45. We have to wait a bit because there were few non-b2b passengers took longer then expected to clear custom (on wheelchair and many luggages). Once they are out, we went through customer and checked in by the regular RC terminal staff. We reboarded the ship around 10:45 am. We didn't try to access our new cabin, just sat by the pool. Soon after we boarded, general boarding started. in the instructions, they did mention about lunch at MDR starting at 11:30 am but I think is is the same lunch for the new cruisers and not anythin special for consecutive cruisers.

Is the tri-rail station at the FLL airport? Or I need to take a shuttle from the airport to the station? I was thinking about Uber to FLL and take the train instead of Uber to MIA but not save I will save much.

After our cruise from PE, we will.need to fly out of MIA. How easy/difficult is to take trii-rail with luggage from FLL to MIA on a Sunday mid-moening? Our flight doesn't leave till late Sunday afternoon so there is no need for us to rush to MIA.

Assume we have early access to our new cabin, do we stay there until b2b group lunch? When does group lunch start?

If we do a B2B on a RC ship from Fort Lauderdale, what can we do when we come back to port after the first segment? Do we have to stay on board or we can leave the shop for a few hours?

Do they still have escargot on the regular main dining room appetisers? 

We were on the Summit from 8/31 to 9/10 and they do have escargot every night. If I remember right, shrimp cocktails and French onion soup are also available every night.

But no one can tell you what they cost.  And I’ve asked.  I’m signed up for bar setup package but I may cancel it.

We were at the Summit a week ago, there was a price list by the glasses. We asked the cabin attendant to remove the drinks from the fridge and he put them in our closet.

We are currently on Beyond… our first Celebrity cruise but we are elite due to RCCL Diamond status.

We used our basic WiFi first and after a few days asked for our 90mins to be activated… there were no issues with that and I currently switch between the basic and Elite so have not used all the Elite minutes first 

Is there any difference in performance between basic and premium WiFi that you can tell? 

This is the flyer from the loyalty desk 

Thank you again. Picked up the flyer at captain’s club desk.

There will be a form in your stateroom on the first day indicating your Captains Club benefits and how to use them.

Today is our day 5 and we didn’t see any form about loyalty benefits.

I don't understand your question. If you are Elite, put your items in the bag, note the items on the form, and write "Elite" on the form. You should not be charged.

As I wrote, this is our first Celebrity cruise. We are Elite because we are Diamond under Royal Caribbean's loyalty program.

Thank you for all the replies.
