My shirt tradition is wearing something from a different cruise line. I'll be sporting a Sky Princess polo for our Beyond boarding.

Following. We are on the 11/8 sailing.

I sent my specialty dining requests to the Shoreside Retreat Concierge. We are in an Edge Villa in two weeks. I've been in a PH twice before. She's working on getting the rollator we rented brought to check-in so we won't need a wheelchair for boarding. She has been very helpful. I printed a list of my dining requests to hand deliver to the butler, just in case.

The document I received shows: Status: BOOKED

I was wondering about the 'patio' outside the door on Deck 16. We will be in 15106 in three weeks. I'm hoping that is a low traffic area.

Beginning to look like a Rollcall!

DW wants to do the turtle farm. Other than that, she'll have to drag me from the ship kicking and screaming.

Just cancelled Ascent sailing for 04/21/2024 and rebooked exact same Sky Suite (9163) for 01/21/2024 for much less! Saved $3,000. 🤑🤑🤑 I owe you a drink, mac_tlc! 😁

I think the Beyond is at T25 on the day the Reflection returns. They like to return to the same terminal from which they departed.

PE schedule for 12/31/2022 shows Reflection at T29 and T25 not occupied.

The 11/4 and 11/6 sailings will be full of TA's and dignitaries. I can't imagine them wanting to get off to a bad start. They could poach some additional staff from other ships. Infinity has a PE port call on 11/5, Equinox on 11/3, and Edge on 11/7.

I have used Special Needs Group several times for both scooters and rollators. Device was in the stateroom when we arrived.

Nope. The Beyond is different from the Edge and Apex. Pool deck footage starts at 38 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifp9aop0bME

Just let me know if you want to drop in on us.

Paying for shade.

We are in an Edge Villa. I have my own pool. 😁 30 more days!

Beyond. Split one on the left.

Beyond

I'm in an Edge Villa and sail in 31 days. Should I go ahead and book specialty dining on the app? I'm concerned about getting charged for all those bookings and having to have the charges backed out.

These were the contacts for the Beyond. Rachel Nye Retreat Suite Concierge Celebrity Beyond ConciergeRachel@celebrity.com 1-877-738-7328, Option #3 Ginelys Stevens Retreat Suite Concierge Celebrity Beyond ConciergeGinelys@celebrity.com 1-877-738-7328, Option #3 305-614-1334

We received an email from our Retreat Suite Concierge last week (40 days out) and have exchanged emails concerning our requests. I missed a call yesterday (35 days out) from Celebrity Engagement, asking if I needed assistance with booking specialty dining. They left a phone number and extension. I guess I'll make up my mind today and ring them back.

Tried an Owner's Suite on the Sky Princess. Previous two sailings were in a PH on the Celebrity Constellation. Night and day difference. OS was large but lacked a dining table and we missed the butler much more than expected. Concierge Lounge was a ghost town. What's the point of a 900 sq. ft. suite if you end up dragging the cushions off the sofa and picnicking in the floor? We are back on Celebrity next month in an Edge Villa. I am booked on the Discovery Princess for Alaska next year but I made that reservation before I realized I'd be Elite on X after November. I'll probably be changing that booking.

There is an interactive feature on the TV so you can keep track of your account. I check it at least once a day. Free Specialty Dining, Premium Drink Package, and Premium Wifi for RS and above. Are you in a PH on this sailing?
