I was waiting to order only because of the expiration date. Last year when I needed them, they arrived expired but the date had been extended. I needed more this year and the date wasn't for very long so I thought this time, I would wait. Hence, my reminder to order tomorrow that I now deleted. 😃 It definitely is a sigh of relief to not worry about testing. Last year, I 'quarantined' myself 2 weeks before my cruise even though 'breakthroughs' weren't that common but I had multiple cruises cancelled due to the shutdown so I wasn't taking any chances of testing +...I needed to be on that ship. 😅 I was going to basically do the same this time. Now, I don't have to. Yay for all of us!!! 🥳 One less thing to be anxious about. 🍹

When you book, all of the OBC you are entitled to will show on your Celebrity Booking Confirmation. That is the amount to go by. If there was a price adjustment (if applicable) you would know the amount and it wouldn't be unexpected. If I knew I was getting $1,100.00 OBC and $1,700.00 magically appeared, I would not use the extra money, especially knowing how Celebrity is with IT issues. If I knew I was getting $1,700.00 and it changed to $1,100.00 without booking anything for $600.00 then I would be on the phone with my Booking Confirmation in front of me to get it corrected. OBC magically appearing = do NOT spend unless you know it is valid. 😉 If the $1,100.00 included the original $600.00 Retreat OBC, then Celebrity did not drop your $600.00. They just accidentally added an extra $600.00 and then took it back when the mistake was realized. 🍹

I would suggest looking at your Celebrity Booking Confirmation that would have been e-mailed to you. It will be listed in codes but it will be there. Everything you have will be listed. If you booked with a travel agent, you still should have received it. As for the website, there isn't always a place that has everything you are getting. Some places to look: 1. If you have already checked in for your cruise, you will see either CALL (Classic) or PALL (Premium) on your XPRESS Pass and that's for the beverage package. 2. In your Cruise Planner under Order History. Click on your initials (top right corner) and a drop down menu will show choices. Not everything always shows up for me though and/or there will just be pictures without descriptions. 3. In the App, within the far right page it will show the internet you have. As a note: The Cruise Planner may show that you can buy a beverage package or upgrade. Don't let this fool / scare you. Sometimes that's how it is. I usually call and they correct it but for my upcoming cruise, it still shows I can upgrade, even though I have the Premium Beverage Package, and I've called. To confirm what you have, the Booking Confirmation is key. You can also call and have them confirm what you have and then ask for a Booking Confirmation to be e-mailed to you. 🍹

I have been on ships out of the same port and they dock on different sides, for whatever reason. My last 3 Celebrity cruises, I was Starboard on 2 and then Port side on the most recent. When going out of Fort Lauderdale, I like when we are facing out to the water. There is that little strip of land with houses and we usually face that way (when starboard). The last time, we were on the Port Side and I thought we would face inland at Port Everglades, but we faced the water. Each port we went to, we faced inland. So, who knows??? I do like to face inland though, to watch the ship being loaded. Hehe. The Beyond. ??? Not sure. We shall see...not much longer to go. 😉 I'm starboard. 🍹

It should show up tomorrow, the 28th as @Treacher1 posted. 🍹

I use both. For this, I went with the extra A and T. 📝 Anywhere a squirrel can go is a preposition and perhaps there is a squirrel who wants to take a cruise. 😉 🍹

That's great! 😃 I thought I would ask too.🍉 🍹

So many choices. 😉 It depends on the bar and what time of day. I'll give my first drink of the cruise which is at the Martini Bar. I like the Fresca Martini (watermelon). 🍉 I'll be on the Beyond next month and they have a different menu so I'll have to choose a new one. 🍹

Hi! Where are you when the ship is about to Set Sail? I am up on a top deck with a cocktail in hand. It's where I was on my first cruise and tradition for us is to be outside on a top deck with a cocktail in hand. I love that feeling of excitement when you hear the horn and you look, trying to tell if the ship is moving. When it looks like the land and buildings are moving, you know we have Set Sail! 😉 I look at everything as we Sailaway, take pictures and smile. 😉 Yay, all of the planning and now it's here to enjoy. (I do enjoy the planning though) It never gets old! 🥳🎉🚢 Sometimes we often think what we do is what others do as well but I have read over the years that others have their own tradition or special place they like to be. Where do you like to be? Do you have a tradition? 🍹

The TV swivels out on an angle so you can see it from the bed. Just take it and pull towards you on the side away from the bed. I haven't been on the Solstice but I have been on three other S-class ships (pre & post Revolution) and all of the TV's swiveled so I am sure the Solstice TV's do as well. 🍹

Hi! Thank you for posting. I'll be on the Beyond in a Sky Suite next month. I enjoy live reviews, but especially on a ship I'll soon be on and even better when it's the same cabin category. 😃 The plug in the bathroom for a hairdryer sounds lovely. 😉 Have a wonderful time! 🍹

I just received the Australia/New Zealand e-mail. Register & Watch by September 27th to earn 50 Power Up Points. Location: USA 🍹

I always take screenshots when I take a quiz, watch a webinar, etc... The June Quiz is the first time I didn't receive what I should have. Each time I called, only a few minutes wait time and friendly people. I said I have screenshots to e-mail and they said no but took notes of everything and to wait for however many days they would say. I did that three times, the third time the lady said she would call me back when taken care of in a few days. My 4th call, the gentleman let me e-mail the screenshots and kept me on the phone to make sure they came through and gave me a case #. That time seemed to do the trick, since the point finally arrived. 😉 🍹

I received 1 Point for the August Australia Quiz. Also, after calling 4 times, the June Quiz Point has finally been added. 😉 Yay!!! I did more work to get that 1 Point added than I did to take the quiz. 😂 🍹

Hi! Here is what is in my Cruise Planner for my upcoming Beyond Sailing. They are showing as Sold Out so I don't know if they are different prices for Sea Day vs Port Day. They are located under DINING in the Cruise Planner. You can get a half for 2 people or a whole one for 4 people. The price is per Cabana, not per person. 🍹

Celebrity does not require the Sea Pass card to be inserted into a slot... at least on the ships I've sailed on but even on the ships I haven't been on, I never saw that on any room tour videos. 🍹

For my October 26th cruise, check-in was September 11th @ midnight EST. We were able to choose the boarding time as well. When looking at the reservation online, it states 3 - 4 weeks prior to departure for the eDocs to be ready. 🍹

You're Welcome! 😃 🍹

Hi! Here is the Eden menu for the Edge. There is also a tasting menu. If you want those too, let me know. 🍹

Hi! I am editing this. I added pics but I used the Beyond Eden menu and I just looked at the Edge and it's slightly different. If you can't find it your app, let me know and I will post the pics from Eden on Edge. 🍹

Hi! You're Welcome! 😃 Enjoy! 🍹

I took one in 2017 through Celebrity. It was a catamaran, the Cockatoo. It had stairs. Do you see that listed under the excursions? The name was definitely listed when we booked. Great experience! The crew, stingrays, water etc... 🥰 🍹

It was 90 days last year for a cruise I went on when many other cruises were closer to the sail date. My upcoming sailing, it seems to be holding at 45 days since that is closely approaching. I still check daily, just in case. 😉 Have you looked in the App? The check-in date showed up prior to Final Payment. The little 'person type' icon on the top right. Click that and scroll down, if it shows, the date will be posted there. 🍹

Thanks. You as well! * I know what it's like picking the perfect cabin. I do it every time. 😉 🍹

I was on the Equinox last year with those cabins. I was 1523, bed by the bathroom. 1525, bed by the balcony. Yes, I've posted before about them when a question has come up about Aqua cabins. 😉 Enjoy your cruise! 🍹
