Location, Location Location. I believe the S-3 are the Magic Carpet and may actual be called Magic Carpet Sky Suite on Edge Class. I'm sure like others have mentioned the bed location is also different.

On both our September and December cruises they had ZERO inventory of apple product. I recall reading that on one of the E-Class they had current apple watch inventory. You might ask someone on a current cruise to report back if there is any inventory. By the way you can use you OBC anywhere on the ships from shops, casino, spa etc. There was a report earlier this week that they were allowing it to be use for deposits on Future Cruises - I however have never seen that before.

Easiest way to resolve would be to go in and clear you cache and browser history. This is where you logged on credentials are stored. I just tried logging out of my account using Microsoft Edge and logs out perfectly and doesn't show name.

I can't believe your cruise is over and your winging yourself home. For some reason when I looked at the Cruises, I thought it was an 11 day cruise, but now realize it must be what someone mentioned that people board and disembark at different times. Your review has been your best so far and enjoy immensely. I usually don't talk about fashion but had to say for your future cruises. You favorite dress I've seen you in is the one you wore to the Gatsby Night on a previous cruise. Looked like a designer's Couture designed just for you. Would work on any cruise.

Thanks for taking the time to do a Live post of this incredible journey. Having done a couple myself I know they can be a commitment but I've found that on longer cruises like yours it is a bit easier, as you settle into Life at Sea as oppose to pack everything into a single week or two. Enjoy writing your Live post like a diary and not a task.

After reading over all the "Sky's Falling" posts, I decided to check out if the 4 Ounce Filet on the Kid's everyday menu was still there. Yup

It's interesting the way they served it. On Revolutionized Ships they now have a self selection laid out on the hot/cold tables. A butler or serve took care of the tea and coffee orders. On Solstice - non-revolutionized when we would sit down they would bring over trays of Sandwiches, Scones and Sweets and would serve you one course at a time.

Or Crab or Lobsters - Or Flounder of Fluke. All are also bottom feeders. BTW I love Catfish as well as Shark.

Ahh.... I read that wrong. Interesting Could really be helpful if you have lots - better than spending on things you don't need.

Murano has it and on occasion I have had it offered in both Blu and Luminae. They also have a Chocolate that I've seen in Blu and Luminae. This was of course before the cutbacks.

Thank - We do enjoy small more intimate tours and that sounds like something we would enjoy. I forgot to mention those lobster on your private charter looked OOOOHHHHH so good.

I believe this was always the case - could be wrong. I know that when booking on celebrity site there is a question - Do you have a FCC? If you check yes it pops up a window to put the number in to be applied toward deposit. I used mine for my next cruise - there's a web portal where you put in reservation number and last name and then the FCC number. It was applied in about a day reducing my final payment.

Our last B2B in December they had Rack of Lamb on last Chic night. I just looked at Apex (current cruise) and they still have it on Last Chic night. I will be sailing on her in April and had a look yesterday.

I have to agree with you Rick. They never had the Filet on the anytime menu. The anytime menu was the same available in all restaurants - The Beef selection was a NY. From what I recall Blu had one or two others including a Beyond Burger.

Agree with others. Go in and find the rooms your want from the map on the booking form. Put your room on hold - Basically you go all the way up to where they ask for Credit Card then click the Celebrity Logo and a pop up will say put room on courtesy hold or leave reservation. If you press hold you have 24 hour hold. Have your friends do the same. After this contact your travel agent - he will need to be on phone with you to Celebrity to have them release the hold. You can also book direct on Celebrity and transfer the booking to your agent for servicing which is quickest and easiest. These can only be done if prior to final payment date.

There's a thread on the issue with point level and Status. Solution - Go into profile - I did it using app. Delete your CC number and save then go back in and add it. Bingo fixed on both app and web. I think it had to do with me having an Azamara Member number in my profile. Celebrity completed severing ties with them around 1/15/2023. In my case it showed I had zero points but could see my past cruises from the window where I have my currently booked cruises but on the CC site

You definitely have a butler who knows how to take care of you. Love the heart on the bed and the artistic way they prepare the meat and cheese. My only thought was - Saltien's? NO No no

The ship proved beach towels before your first beach port to your room the night before. Just leave your dirty one in your room and the attendant will give you a fresh on when they make up your room.

Another recommendation is to join your Roll Call. I know that on our many are booking private transfers and seeking others to join them to split the cost. I'm mostly saying this as your thread will probably be moved to the European Forum. The moderators usually like to move transportation and port threads to that forum.

You are of course correct. I was thinking of automatic tips on Drinks. I really hadn't paid it as I had free dining from a RS. When I asked for a slip to add a tip they told me it was already included - but if I left a tip on my room it would go to the entire ships dining pool but if I left cash it was to the shared pool of Murano only. I didn't tip on that night but doubled up with cash a couple days later.

Really enjoyed following along in you latest adventure. Your a natural at live posting and really enjoyed following along.

While it is a very tight connection from either Amsterdam or Rotterdam I think it is possible. Saying that I personally would not do it myself. My expectations are that clearance time in Rotterdam or Amsterdam will be limited as you will have already cleared into the EC. Basically walk off is like at airport - Walk off and go through the green lane. Come out the door of the terminal and walk down Wihelminaplein about 2,000 feet which takes about 10 minutes. Enter the Wihelminaplein underground station and take a train to Rotterdam Centraal (trains about every 15-20 minutes) and get off at Rotterdam (4th stop) which takes about 5 minutes. From Rotterdam Centraal take a train in the Direction of Schiphol / Amsteram - They run about every 20-30 minutes. It takes about 25 minutes to Schiphol and the Station is in the Airport Terminal. My guess is if you are off the ship by 8:00 AM you will be at Schiphol by 9:00 May sound like lots of time but if you look at the news stories at Sciphol earlier this year because of a labor dispute Amsterdam was a total mess and took hours to get through and luggage was lost for days.

I was reading with Interest. Last year we were scheduled for one in France (On the expensive side at about $250 pp but had lots of OBC). About 2 days before the tour they cancelled it with no explanation leaving us to scramble to spend the OBC with only 3 days left. Was yours also on the expensive side? Also did the Chef continue on with you after the market or just an hour or so and they you went on without the chef? Might be something we would enjoy. Year ago they had small group cooking classes in Murano's and after we made many of the dishes etc they served us a nice dinner in the wine cellar of Murano. Obviously they didn't serve us our own versions ... LOL It was a fun event.

LOL - I was just thinking it looked different. I love the burgers but try to limit my self to just one per cruise.

On my last B2B in December they still had the Filet but it was on a later day. Just looked at at the Apex and they have it on the last night. It was larger than previous cruises and very tasty. The only meat I didn't like was something called a NY Strip Stake but it was round and no marbling and no fat on the edge -- looked more like a roast beef but thick cut. Not very tasty.
