OK. Have tried on desktop now, too. Pretty much the same situation as last time I tried it on a desktop. Lots of discussion of a pdf, but instead, it's just a few pages page of html with options 1) Share, 2) Print, and 3) Back to Top, and shows only the pre-embarkation tour and the cruise itinerary. Clicking on the individual ports within the itinerary only works for Day 1. Selecting any of the other ports brings up nothing. Clicking on "Share" just sends a link to the html page. No joy there. Am beginning to think that a 'print to pdf' solution is (perhaps - eventually) all that's going to work, but from here, unlike within my cruise planner, all that ever shows is the day-of-embarkation-airport/transfer-tour-to-the-ship excursion. My cruise planner shows many, many more excursions already loaded and ready to purchase. So the link solution, no matter how executed, just isn't going to hack it at the moment. Thanks for trying, folks. Looks like Celebrity IT has me stymied again.

After selecting the cruise, my attempts always flash a download window that immediately disappears, then I'm stuck with the just itinerary and pre-boarding city tour in html. Am trying on phone. Will try the link in desktop mode later.

No. The mistake was not including a <sarc> </sarc> tags! 😉

Yes, spotted that, but am looking for something that is a heck of a lot easier to download and review, and such that particular pages are easy to print. Was a nice feature. Wonder why that crack IT department decided to discontinue it?

Must be a high demand itinerary + an overpriced E class fare combined. That's just crazy. There's a Celebrity Suite that just popped up and has been lingering as available for a few days on an S class 13 nt cruise we're going to be taking, and even at today's inflated prices, it's $16,750 all-in, so $644 pp pd. For $1000 pp pn, you can buy a lot more cruise elsewhere around the X fleet.

Indeed, early on they weren't doing this at all, and after some pretty hot words back to corporate about "standard of care", they got with the program. Until this report, we had thought that the practice was still ongoing and standard aboard all ships. Further, it was once said that one of the reasons for 'grouping' quarantined pax in poor accommodations was to facilitate access by Medical to a group in a more convenient (closer and more consolidated) area. If they've truly discontinued regular wellness checks, I guess THAT explanation isn't holding any water these days.

Back 'in the day', it was possible to download a *.pdf file that included all of the excursions for a given booked itinerary, but I haven't had need of this feature for a long time. I was looking to do that the other day and realized I can no longer find that feature. Could be that with all of the website changes over the years, it's just 'misplaced'. Is this still possible?

So much for the lame excuse of keeping pax near Medical to keep it convenient for them to perform regular wellness checks. Wonder when they decided to forego those?

Assuming you used the X online cruise planner to make the reservations, it will be in the upper right corner of the screen if you go to - say - the excursions planning section again. However, I discovered recently that the number isn't always updated immediately as it usually has been after a transaction. May have just been a day or two IT glitch. Recent changes made have appeared immediately.

And... the crew had to quarantine for 14 days (and test) prior to U.S. arrival last Fall on those 'empty' TAs, too.

The last time a cruise touching a U.S. port didn't originate out of North America were empty (no-Pax) TAs in 2021. Yeah, we got cancelled twice - ugh. I believe this Fall will provide the 'test cases' for the first cruises from 'no-test' countries since the shutdown.

Note regarding my usual typo - too late to correct this time. Should read: I don't expect testing to cease in either country is IF current agencies are staffed by the same folks in October.

If the US and Canada insist on testing for all cruises touching their ports now, why would a cruise originating in Europe be any different if it terminates in Florida? I don't expect testing to cease in either country is current agencies are staffed by the same folks in October.

Remember who we're dealing with here. Bermuda has a real cash cow going for them in that they also include a $40? paperwork procedure for all pax as part of their protocol. They won't likely be giving that up soon. And although the press release says "departing from destinations", what isn't mentioned is that it isn't just cruises originating from those locations - it's when they are destinations as well. So although it begins with a Spain departure, I fully expect our October 31 TA back to the U.S. to require testing. Not much chance the 'guidance' on testing will change here on this end -- until perhaps after 3 January 2023.

Jim sails in all sorts of cabins. Cut him a break.

No need. The poster simply is noting that when in AQ (Blu) or Suites (Luminae) the experience was better in both cases, and would not return to the MDR. Reading between the lines, given the OP's options, that would be a vote for an AQ cabin.

Agreed. It isn't like Rome hasn't been landlocked for its entire known existence.

Our Reflection cruise isn't until 31 October, but since it's a TA, I have little doubt that there will still be pre-testing going on.

Picked up a bottle of Blanton's on leg 1 of our last Caribbean B2B, checked it in at boarding at the port, and was pleasantly surprised to have it returned at the end of leg 1 instead of leg 2, but in retrospect, it's treated just like duty free. So if you run across anything interesting...

Ah, a new data point! As Jim suggests, and while treating each leg of a B2B itinerary as a unique 'cruise' mostly works against you these days, this is one instance in which it can be of benefit! Duty free booze is returned to your cabin the night before the end of 'the cruise', and for whatever reason, this happens even when you'll be staying on for additional legs. It's just a quirk of the system. So if you do pick something up either onboard at duty free or find something you like at a port stop during the first leg, you'll have it delivered to you on the last night of that first leg and you'll have it for the remainder of your B3B. You can do the same during the 2nd leg if you start to run dry!

Check your county health department for possible supplied $0 tests.

While there are some that I wouldn't try again, I have been occasionally surprised. For whatever reason, Celebrity puts the Palacios Remondo la Montesa in their 'upper tier' "Taste of the Vineyard" bottle package. It sells for only $16~$18 retail, and in a 3 bottle package, Celebrity gets $53 a bottle ($160 for 3 bottles) for their wines in this category. That said ... This is one of the nicest $16~$18 wines I've run across. So while they maybe overcharging by the bottle, they do come up some real surprises now and again. If I could get an X sommelier to pour that by the glass as part of the PDP, I'd be happy to drink it.

Interestingly enough, not an option. Wine, yes. Booze, no, apart from miniatures in the minibar.

WooHoo! Whopping 5% discount at present.

If we're talking about the Bon Voyage 'gifts': One (1) Bottle of booze, mixer and snacks. Pretty pricey. $100 for the basic brands, $130 for better brands.
