That'll be fine.

Yes. I've taken two spots on one cruise before.

It looks like it’s more of a glorified Ocean View with big window that may or may not open.

Celebrity's marketing dept. decided against calling them "Glorified Oceanview," but that's what they are. 😄

Planning an Arctic circle  cruise on Apex for July 25. I’m booking 6 E-2 verandas. My questions. 
* Are these truly unobstructed verandas?

They're not truly verandas; they are infinite verandas, which is to say, they have a window that opens.

An additional note: If any of your group have more than 2 people in their stateroom, only pax 1 & 2 pay for Club Orange.

 

Also, I can't believe that no one one mentioned the Club Orange tote bag. It's raison d'être. 😁

 

Mentioned in Post 4, but easy to overlook. 😉

The buffet is not the hot mess it used to be since passengers have been able to drop carry-on bags when getting on the ship. People don't hog tables while waiting with their bags; they eat and can roam the ship. 

I'd never heard of the Corona Cigar Company, but it appears its two locations are in Orlando. I wouldn't stay at the coast to backtrack to one of those. If that's not a must, and depending on the time of year, I'd stay at the coast. (Time of year = water warm enough to swim)

No need for the angst. Just appear at the MDR of your choice when you're hungry . . . and you will be fed. As noted above, some have requested the same MDR with the same server and have gotten it. If you like your first night's arrangements, ask for that.

But if are walking around in Rome with a lanyard....

Sure. But the Romans still know the tourists. You'll be doing, you know, tourist things.

Never did and never will! First I am on vacation and not on a convention, second - How could I look more touristy? 😁😉

Everyone on a ship is a tourist. It's not the lanyard that gives you away. 😉

Good day!  Where can I find the spreadsheet you referred to?  TIA

It's a sticky at the top of the Celebrity page here on CC. Cabin info for S-class ships.

Can't go wrong there. I think 417 might be a toll road as well. I try to stay away from that area in general because inevitably, my wallet starts to hemorrhage money, it's a big mess 😂

Yes, SR-417 (the GreeneWay) is a toll road. Much of it from about I-Drive to the Beachline is under construction, so there can be delays.

Hey Tar Heel 87 (from Tar Heel 92), thanks for the review. We were on Reflection from March 16-24 and overall had a great time. Glad you did, too.

Time to head to GS and request a meeting with the HD. That'll probably get you more results than posting here.

How exactly do you book the SV cabins?  Did a mock booking and couldn't access any.  What category do you book from? Aqua class etc

 

You'll book from the veranda category. If you don't see any, they're sold out.

Regarding the tables close together: the people at the other tables may not want to chat. 😉 Try to read the vibe before pretending y'all are at the same table on purpose.

What cruise line are you refering of????

I am referring to Celebrity, which the OP mentioned in Post #1.

New to Celebrity and sailing Solstice in July. I see now that I can make dining reservations, but how do we know what time shows might be when choosing? Seems like it’s a bit of a guess when booking without knowing the event schedules. Am I missing something?

Shows are 7 and 9 or maybe 7:30 and 9:30.

We had one on deck 7 never heard a sound from Eden.

I'm glad for you. It was so bad for us that Guest Relations moved us to another cabin.

Sort of off topic, but Elites no longer have priority boarding, only Suites and Zenith do.

On topic, I agree with the above: just take a cab or an Uber.

On the E-class ships, "bad" sunset verandas are on the deck immediately above Eden due to noise. I wouldn't want one of those again.

New to Celebrity...

On the 45th day, am I able to select a time (12:30pm) or just assigned one?  TIA

You can choose from the times that are available when you check in.

Just answer the health questions in the app the day before you depart and show up at your port arrival time. Being late won't matter unless you miss the deadline for being on the ship before it sails.

Just checked ‘ Manage My Booking ‘ via the website and all the reservations I made using the planner are showing …..no effort , quick and easy.

Yes, but more often than not, Apex (as an E-class ship) is all open seating. You may find differently, but really you just need to pick a DR and show up to eat.
