Celebrity Retreat vs MSC Yacht Club
Shadow9612 replied to FamilyAtSea.travel's topic in Celebrity Cruises
One of the key selling points for me is the no smoking in the casinoon Celebrity . Can anybody comment on how MSC is with respect to smoking? -
Currently on Silhouette very bad experience
Shadow9612 replied to avp1234's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I thought the flush button is hidden behind the lid if it is up (meaning the toilet can't be flushed unless the lid is down)? I hope the OP is ok... -
Disembarking at Rotterdam 7:00 am, 11:00am flight from Schiphol?
Shadow9612 replied to Mark_K's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I was considering this but I am worried navigating train station with luggage (or not knowing which train etc 🤦). -

Disembarking at Rotterdam 7:00 am, 11:00am flight from Schiphol?
Shadow9612 replied to Mark_K's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thank you for this. Do you think walk off/ taxi is better than Celebrity transfer? I have an Air Canada flight to Canada, 12:15pm departure, on a Wednesday mid July. Trying to determine what to do. Thank you to the OP for starting this discussion and to all the answers so far. -

What about a Celebrity transfer from Rotterdam to AMS? Is this a viable option? -
1030 flight departure out of FLL to Toronto
Shadow9612 replied to 1960Travel's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I just flew FLL-YUL and Air Canada stated they would not accept luggage until 3hrs before the flight. -
I just got off the Silhouette - first cruise since pre-covid. I found that food quality, food selection and customer service were all excellent. I did not notice the decline referenced a lot on these boards. Big change, imo, is that cruise prices have increased significantly.

Just off the silhouette. A future cruise agent told me that for the book later option, you have 6months to book a cruise and get the additional OBC bonus for booking onboard. She then said you could still book up to 1 year later, but after 6months you lose the additional OBC for booking onboard. Sorry but I didn't take a flyer so not sure what is officially written.

Auto Grats - how they are allocated/shared
Shadow9612 replied to the penguins's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I am on Silhouette now (sadly leaving tomorrow). I was told by guest services that the $4.09 for suite services is for the butler. Although not directly spoken about in this thread, I was also told that any cash given to a crew member is kept by that crew member and not pooled. I have heard before that it was pooled in some areas, so not sure for certain! -
From what I was told, just upgrading interior items that need replacing, but not structural changes. Maybe the rooms will be refreshed? @villauk it's been years - I hope you are doing well! I've never been on the Infinity. On Silhouette now - she's beautiful. My 1st cruise since pre-2020.

Correction: Infinity is in dry dock - about 20 days. NOT being revolutionized, just a drydock update... Sorry for the incorrect info above.

I'm on Silhouette now and Future Cruises told me the Infinity is currently in dry dock being revolutionized. Looks like next sailing is February 12.

Non-Refundable Deposit Cancellation Questions
Shadow9612 replied to bnurick's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Aren't you risking the Non-Refundable rate could be higher when you decide to "lock in" at a non-refundable rate? (Compared to of you booking NRD originally). -
I have seen afternoon tea available at the oceanview cafe - although it is self serve. Included Scones, Jams, Cream (whipped?)... Not sure if this is every cruise.... @Hydro ergo - worth checking out... It was ~330pm if I recall.
-
Agreed... A definite plus.

In the MDR and Luminae, you can also speak to your waiter each evening to view the next day's menu. We were able to request certain dishes be made with low sodium. This was pre-pandemic, but I would guess you could still do it now.
