My wife will be glad to hear that, as we're on a Western tomm. I could personally care less as my devices remain locked in the safe at home, but she likes to stay somewhat connected. Works out well, provided she doesn't attempt to give me news.

Wow….

Keep an eye out for offers on RCCL…we got the 10% deal on our 2019 Allure cruise. Don’t see the offer often, but it does show up occasionally.

Don’t think it can be much simpler than that.

I play blackjack the so-called 'proper' way...that being said, if you sit next to me and play completely off-the-wall, more power to ya...sometimes helps the tables, but all you'll hear about are the times it doesn't.

Not saying it’s true…just trying the ‘new me’…looking from a different perspective….probably won’t last long lol. There’s no doubt some folks are going to be newbies on cc…can’t imagine some of the hoops people are going to have to jump thru for a so-called ‘vacation’. At least there are options regarding cruise line protocols.

I don’t disagree that that is indeed a large part of the problem (self centered/entitled). I also believe a majority of cruisers have never heard of cruise critic, let alone been on these threads. I suspect reading the new protocols is a quick ‘glance’ over the highlights (mask req, social distance req, etc), but as far as boarding times, I doubt they are thought of any differently than they were 16 mo ago. I may be giving people too much in the ‘benefit of doubt’ area, but I understand the excitement of getting on a cruise ASAP, especially when it may be only the 2nd or 3rd cruise

How dare them....perhaps post a protocol guide for others?

I'm indifferent, but don't really need to know what's important to others. Hope you don't really think you're going to change the way people operate. If you do, you may want to find another platform (no clue what that would be)....cruise critic is no doubt a small % of cruisers.

I assume you meant Edge. This is right off Celebrity’s website. https://www.celebritycruises.com/cruise-ships/celebrity-edge/eat-and-drink/main-dining

Common sense applied by the average citizen (who isn’t on CC) would assume an airport terminal’s protocols to be similar to those in the cruise terminal. Can’t blame them at all assuming unlimited pax anytime, IMO.

You nailed it….wonder the air conditioned airport or hope to get checked in early…choice was there to be made.

In this PC world, everyone’s opinion/feelings are all that matter. Celebrity most likely feels their emails are indeed urgent, so it’s on us to accept their feelings 🙂.

Glad you found someone to blame.
