I will second with what prior posters have commented and also add it's a 5 minute visit as long as you have completed the majority of the muster on your app prior to reporting. The staff member scans your app or verifies your cabin number, asks if you have any questions and sends you on your way. A far cry from the old days of actually putting your life vest ON while waiting in muster station for the 3-4 missing passengers. Then being led to the lifeboat boarding stations...outside...with your life jacket ON in the Florida heat and humidity, standing in line for a full presentation and then being released once ALL boats had completed their briefings....those were the days.

We are booked on the maiden voyage sailing next November!! No prior Celebrity experience so we are looking forward to our first celebrity and first maiden voyage sailing.

We are going to CZM on my 40th birthday cruise in February and put Nachi on our list, thank you for the beautiful pictures and honest review. LOVE Lady G (Grandeur OTS) she's still my favorite ship in the fleet, there's something about the classic ships that still draws me.

We are on a 4 night sailing on Utopia in a few weeks. If you get a chance, could you ask crewmembers what they would like to receive most from guests? We always tip additional cash to our stewards (and to our servers) but we also bring treats like snacks or Amazon gift cards for our stewards. I would love to know what they need or would make an improvement in their daily lives. ❤️

Following! We are sailing on Utopia 10/05 in a JS and have RR booked as well as CP and Hideaway beach. Can't wait to get a preview of the ship through your live!

They are also killing the grapevines 😱

Have you looked at Virgin Voyages as well? Love all your reviews!! Can't wait to see your trips on Princess and NCL!

Happy Cruise Day!!!

Sporting these at the top tier event would be LEGENDARY 😂😂

We just booked our first Celebrity sailing and cannot be more excited. We are booked on Xcel's maiden voyage next November in a Concierge level cabin. We have an "infinite verandah" room towards the aft of the ship. We have sailed mainly RCL in the past with balcony staterooms/suites. We are looking forward to a brand new ship, new cruise line (for us) and a new cabin category. Those of you who have sailed on Maiden voyages, what's it like? I have obviously seen the hype from afar but do they do anything special that you truly notice onboard? SO excited and only 444 days to go 😂

Have a safe drive!! I live in the DMV basically just off 95, stop for gas/bathroom/drinks before getting to Woodbridge, VA on 95. This is where northbound traffic usually picks up (regardless of time of day). Happy Travel Day!!

I sailed on the older and smaller ship, Paradise, and truly had a great time. It's not flashy, new or large, however, it was CLEAN and the staff were amazing. I did an entire review over on the Margaritaville at sea page. "Bougie Babes take on MAS"

Thank you!! Again, as I have been informed (scolded) I know this now. It just feels like we were always able to print out of our passes and our bag tags at the same time. It is possible this is the earliest we have checked in versus prior sailings. Regardless, I hope you also enjoy Utopia! When are y'all sailing?

Just googled it and got my answer!! It's been a long week at work lol sorry y'all Thank you!

Good Morning CC!! We checked in this morning for our upcoming Utopia OTS sailing on Oct 5th and while check-in seemed successful (we have set sail passes with boarding times) we do not have any other documents or bag tags. We have looked on the apps, on the online side of RCCL and our e-mails to no avail. Any ideas?

@whogo Wonderful review!! I am usually someone who is held captive by photographs of a voyage more than what they are writing about their experience. You held my attention with your witty and informative writing style, Thank you for your honest and fun review. We are lowly Royal Caribbean cruisers for now but Seabourn is on our bucket list.

Shame you didn't take on the "stewed prunes" 😂

I am hoping this is the same for our October Utopia sailing. We are in a JS and put in a couple bids on GS and CLS just in case!!

I'm a flight attendant on this aircraft type and I have never noticed this and now it will go UNSEEN for the rest of my career...including today when I am on this aircraft type for 5 hours. Thanks @Saint Greg 😂

We sailed on Paradise and bought the package for $20 for the entire sailing. I'm not sure how much per soda but $20 for unlimited soda is a steal.

I LOVE seeing the mocktails options!! I'm a fun drinker but I do love to insert a mocktail or NA beer here and there to keep the "party" going!!

In the first photo, are these controls from the original Celebration's engine room? If so that is SO cool!!

The price is pretty high and I even mentioned that to my husband but he insisted that he wanted to try it out. I will do write a full Live Report when we sail so no worries, y'all will basically be at the table with us!!

You're welcome!! I love to help where I can! I'm going to log back in tomorrow morning and see if our sailing is sold out yet.

It popped up as an option in our cruise planner on the RC website.
