Two wrongs????? Hmmmmmm……..

With so many people watching for it, and the question coming up pretty much every single month, if and when it is reinstated in Florida you’ll see it here

Let your cabin steward know and they will rustle some up for you and see that you are not charged

And don’t forget that they serve mimosas and Bloody Marys at the Elite breakfast

No, the policy recently changed.

Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately there’s no predicting whether they will take it or let you bring it on board.

No. And the little stock of other Apple products that they do carry are a couple of generations old.

Also I have to keep in mind that we did that muster on the first day when no one really knew their way around the ship very well. They could have made it easier to return to your muster station is my point. There’s plenty of place on the sea pass card to print D1 assembly station Deck 4. There’s no need to rely solely on a person’s memory, when is easy to create more reliability.

I don’t think the e-muster should take the blame. We had all been to the correct assembly station on embarkation day, in person, but that was about a week ago and, as I said, it was St. Patrick’s Day. Three things would have helped that come to mind immediately. One would be that if the deck was listed on the SeaPass card as well as the assembly station it would have made it easier. Another would have been to remind people in the announcements which Deck to go to. For instance and this is not the correct listing I know, I’m just using it as an example, an announcement like this would have helped “Right now All guests are required to visit their assembly station. If your assembly station is A B or C go to deck 4, if it is DE or F go to deck five” Another thing that would have helped on this particular ship because of the odd traffic pattern on deck five where you either have to go through bionic bar or Izumi to get from one end of the ship to the other would be to have one-way traffic through those areas.

1. Since any scanner could scan any passenger, there was no reason to go from wherever you were to your muster station. ANY muster station would do. Elevators were a crowded clogged artery. Wheelchair passengers were particularly affected, being unable to simply take the stairs. 2. First announcement said all passengers had to go to assembly station. Later announcement amended to say that people in dining rooms did not have to, leaving those in specialty restaurants uncertain what to do. 3. The public address system was unintelligible where I was (Solarium.) 4. I don’t know how many non-English speaking people that are on the ship but it seems like many, mostly Chinese but other languages, too. I wonder how they could have gotten the message out better to these passengers. 5. Sea pass cards tell you the Assembly station to go to but not which deck it’s on. Both decks four and five are used for muster station on Ovation and lots of people went to the wrong deck initially, further clogging the elevators.

Eventually all passengers and crew checked in and the ship is on its way. Was it a prank? Was it a drunk hallucination? A bit of flotsam or jetsam? No one knows.

If you are looking for a balcony, be sure to book the sunset verandah category or a suite, or a porthole verandah; otherwise you will be in a room that has a window that opens, So don’t be fooled by the words “infinite Verandah”

Just saw a news report online that says that the premier pass showed up for a brief period of time over the weekend on the Royal Caribbean site. People booked it and had to be told that it doesn’t exist, so were refunded their money

Aqua class gets you Blu as your dining room. A lovely site and worth the extra money

How do you know? Because you can have it with no symptoms at all, the only way you can know that is to test yourselves post cruise. Did you? Because no symptoms doesnt mean no virus

Covid on Sihouette? We could similarly write “covid at the grocery store” “covid at the basketball tourney” “covid in the post office” “covid on the subway” “Covid at the office park” “covid at the coffee shop” if you leave your home, you take chances

Even if you do it, they may ask you to come to guest relations at some point to register your credit card. No big deal either way

So that was before the restart?

So equinox IS open for Pubcrawls but you just need to make prior arrangements and perhaps pay a fee, yes?

No one should ever make plans to be on a specific Island on a specific date. They’re just too many things that can change. Construction in the Port area, bad weather, mechanical issues, etc

Since the restart, it is no longer a thing. Suite and zenith level passengers get priority boarding but no others do. With the streamlined boarding procedures, it doesn’t really matter much anymore that Concierge, Aqua, Elite, etc. no longer have priority boarding

Celebrity usually matches local time but not always. You will find that be local tour vendors are well aware of what’s going on and they’ll be ready for you no matter what

Gratuities over and above are appreciated but not expected or demanded. If you ran into a steward or waiter who seemed to be pressuring you to give extra, they should be reported to management

You can always ask but it’s not likely that you will get an upgrade once on board.

Could you change the children to simply sail rate (if they arent already) and then just add back the gratuities? And you should be able to prepay the gratuities regardless
