Cruise Gopher

How long after the Moderna booster did your DW get Covid? Also, just curious what age range you are? Not that it really matters much, just more curious. Were there certain areas of the ship you tended to hang out more? What was your pre-cruise situation? Did you fly long distances (ex. Overseas, multiple connections)? Did you wear masks on planes and in airports?

Thank you! What time of day did the noise start and what time did it end in the evening? I guess I don’t mind if it’s a bit noisy during the day but not past 10pm.

No idea. I just think it’s more natural to abbreviate Penthouse to PH so that’s why I type it that way.

We are sailing in the PH in November and don’t really want the alcohol setup since we can just grab a drink at a bar if we want to. But we love champagne so I definitely want to swap out our two bottles of liquor for champagne. Will they give us two bottles of Veuve?

Did you have noise issues from above like chairs scraping on the floor?

What?! What is the menu like for the Edge class ships?

Do they have the lemon tarts on Millennium currently?

We gave my parents a Mediterranean cruise last Christmas and we bought some different foods/snacks from Spain, France and Italy to package in a box for each of them, and then at the bottom of the box under the food we put a printed itinerary of the cruise and a fake cruise boarding pass.

Does anyone know if Celebrity has Clase Azul tequila onboard? If so, would it be included in the premium beverage package or would it be an up charge? I’ve never tried it so I’d be curious to try it out if it’s available onboard.

Mine was Wonder of the Seas in case anyone is curious.

I earned a block on my cruise the first week of September and filled out the form onboard and I got the block delivered about two and a half weeks later. So fulfillment is happening very quickly now.

Regardless, it’s the same back end payment process if the TA charges it or you book it yourself on NCL.com so it shouldn’t be an issue.

It absolutely works if you book through a TA. The charge will be processed exactly the same as if you booked through NCL. I have done this with a previous NCL AMEX offer It also works for any pre-cruise purchases done on NCL.com such as prepaid gratuities, shore excursions, spa, beverage package upgrades. Again I know from personal experience. Interestingly, I got this on my AMEX Platinum and added it to my card and then had my spouse check their authorized user gold card that is linked to my platinum card (but they have their own AMEX online login for it) and the offer was showing there still for them to add so they added it. I will be very curious to try this to see if we both get the $350 credit.

In regards to the AMEX Platinum card cruise privileges program where you get the OBC and bottle of wine, yes most TAs can do this for you. They have a special AMEX website they go to and put in your cruise booking details and amounts and it generates a code that they then call a special 1-800 number at Celebrity and the Celebrity agent adds the OBC and bottle of wine perk to the reservation and it shows on your invoice then. The reservation must be fully paid with the AMEX platinum card. As for splitting it up with multiple platinum cards, I am not sure, but I would think it would work. The insurance questions are a bit specific but I would generally never suggest to use the platinum AMEX insurance coverage as your primary method of insurance for a cruise, especially if it’s an expensive booking. I always recommend you just buy travel insurance separately.

Bookings in general are way down for Q4 on Celebrity. So they are definitely trying to get some gamblers onboard.

You just gamble with your sea pass as your casino players card. You don't register for the Blue Chip Club specifically, it's just automatic I believe.

I'm getting a full size cabana on Apex in January. We have a group of 5 so it will be a nice relaxing space to gather on a sea day.

It's from their Blue Chip Casino club. It's legit. There are many recent threads here on the Celebrity board regarding the Blue Chip club and free cruise offers.

They are under the specialty dining section, which is a bit odd.

What do you mean split cabana?

What ports are you scheduled to stop at?

Exactly. If I’m paying an extreme amount of money for a PH and free gelato is a perk of sailing in a PH, then I don’t want to be put in an awkward position where I have to ask and correct someone to tell them it should be free at the point of sale.

We wear dark jeans to dinner almost every night, including evening Chic nights and specialty dining. No issues whatsoever and no one will even bat an eye.

Yes I know that. I meant, I don’t recall if the last time I was on Celebrity in April and January if they had Stoli. I seemed to recall they favored Smirnoff (which I find disgusting). Hoping they have Stoli blueberry when I’m on Millennium next month.

How old is this menu? I see Stoli listed on here, but I can't remember if they even have Stoli anymore.
