The Panama Canal tour and its final duration is subject to change as per confirmation with the Panama Canal Authorities. In case needed, the tour can be operated in a different way by transiting only one of the sets of locks. Please be advised that there may be a substantial delay at the pier while awaiting the required Panama Canal Pilots to arrive. Although the planned arrival time of the pilots is reconfirmed, their actual arrival time may vary and is beyond the control of Celebrity Cruises. Your understanding and patience is appreciated. The travel time on the ferry is dependent on the schedule set by the Canal Authorities. Tour duration varies. Canal transits are scheduled and controlled by the Panama Canal Authority based on their operation inside the locks. The lockage schedule for the tour is received only on the day before the operation (24 hours prior). The return drive from Panama City to the ship is approximately one hour and 15 minutes on the new four lane highway - very scenic. The transit itinerary for this tour is subject to change depending on your cruise ship's transit times through the locks. The Panama Canal Authority assigns specific time slots for the transit of a vessel through the locks. The ship will anchor in a designated area and will wait for instructions. Once clearance is transmitted to the ship, procedures begin to bring ship's tour passengers ashore. Therefore, tour departure times may vary and will be announced onboard. The return time of the ship to Colon Port may also be delayed due to transit through the locks. We recommend that you are prepared for any potential of delay in the ship's arrival to Colon and plan accordingly by bringing any needed medication or essential items on tour This tour takes place in a foreign country where laws, regulations and business practices may vary from your home country. This could include significant differences in transportation mode and quality, infrastructure, regulations, and driving practices. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the associated risks and travel warning at travel.state.gov, gov.uk/government/organisations/foreign-commonwealth-development-office, or your country equivalent travel advisory system, and consider when selecting or participating in any tour.

I always delete them as soon as points are awarded but have needed them two or three times and was glad I had them.

I have, on several occasions.

Here's a shot of where you can watch the countdown to the end of the webinar so you can be ready to catch the Thank You shot.

In the lower left hand corner of the screen during the webinars there's a timer that says how much time has elapsed and how long the webinar is. That allows you to be ready to take a screenshot of the Thank You screen which only appears for a second or two before returning to the sign up screen.

Thanks for this info! Good to know,

DH and I were both down points...different amounts. Gotta wonder who's running the clown show!

In Barbados, we book online for Harbour Lights beach club. You can rent chairs and umbrella. It's a beautiful beach. Easy to get a taxi from the port and back. They will call a taxi for you.

That should work if there is time/date info with the screenshot. Call Captains Club at 800-760-0654

This!

Screen shots are a must for PUPs... and Go Green

I successfully made reservations for each night of our cruise but saw no options to reserve for the first night. Is that normal? TIA

We've taken many, many vacations over the years. Not a single one had free laundry, drinks or WiFi factored into the criteria when we chose the destination.

Not since the April webinar that posted in May.🥲

I've made 4 calls about the issue. One to my TA, 3 to Royal, sent screenshot!s, and the best result I got was "we've opened a ticket but cant5give a timeliness when you canexpect it to be fixed!" This isn't acceptable and isn't customer service!

I'm really happy for you...and admittedly a bit green with envy wishing that I had spoken with the same miracle worker!

I'd also be nervous that your info is showing in someone else's booking. Celebrity had a similar issue last year.

We docked on our Eclipse Iceland cruise last August.

Some shots from our August departure from Bayonne.

We sailed out of Bayonne last August and the captain turned the ship around several times before we sailed out to sea so everyone got a great view.

Yes, at least mine did and so did my husband's.

Thanks. Posting yes would have been shorter than "see post #14," but I appreciate your extra effort.😜

Star class? Boy you leave for 11 years and 1 pandemic and you're really out of the loop. Is the seapass left at your cabin door like on Celebrity?

When do you get it? We've been sailing X since our last Royal cruise in 2014. Since Covid you get the seapass at cabin door and you can drop off carry on and wait elsewhere until cabins are ready.
