  1. I don't remember that being a difference in size but it's been a while since were in a Concierge room. If you're chasing points for the Captain's Club, it can be worth it.
  2. I'm not sure but I think those are the sweet sixteen cabins. Does anyone know for sure?
  3. Some of the Deluxe Verandas on deck 7 have double size balconies. We always try to book one of those. On our cruise last month, we were in 7177 and it was great.
  4. Yeah, I was very surprised.
  5. Usually, it's been 8 people. This last time, it was 7
  6. They didn't test him to see if he was negative. They just took his temperature.
  7. There was a confirmation in our cabin on embarkation day last month. The date was changed to an earlier date in a later note. It's a good thing too since we would have been in quarantine if they had held it when originally scheduled. They held as least 2 Chef's Table on that cruise.
  8. I’ve written before about having covid on our recent cruise. The TV and internet sucked but Celebrity treated us very well. However, there are a few lessons to be learned from the experience. For background, my husband was diagnosed with covid on the second day of our 10 day cruise (despite 4 vaccines/boosters). He was quarantined for 5 days. I realized that I had it too the next day but didn’t feel the need to see a doctor. I self-quarantined for the same days as my husband. The first day after the quarantined ended was a sea day. We went to Medical and my husband was cleared. He was later reimbursed for the cruise for the days he was quarantined. The next day we had an excursion booked in Santorini. We reported to the theater, waited for our number to be called and lined up for the tender. When they scanned my husband’s card, he was flagged as quarantined. The crewmember told us to go to medical. We found an officer who called medical and was told it was fixed. We lined up again to be scanned and, once again, were flagged as quarantined, as were the people behind us. They were just off covid quarantine too. The officer we had talked to called again and, I don’t know what she said to medical but we were cleared. When we got to the buses, ours was already gone and we were told another bus was also on the excursion and we could take it. We gave our tickets to the tour guide and climbed onto the bus. We had a great visit to Oia and headed to the Akrotiri ruins. We had just started around the ruins when I started to feel unwell. I passed out twice and had to be taken to the hospital. As we were leaving the ruins, our tour guide started arguing with my husband that were weren’t on her excursion. He tried explaining it to her and then gave up, figuring that it was her problem. By the way, the people at the hospital were great. I was there for about 4 hours, given an ECG, had a blood test and was given 2 liters of fluids and electrolytes. It turned out I was dehydrated. The total bill was $440. We didn’t report the incident to the ship since it was resolved. Lesson #1 – If you think you have covid, go to medical. If I had been diagnosed, I would have been reimbursed too. Lesson #2 – If you are quarantined, make sure that medical removes the notation on your cruise card. Lesson #3 – If you make a change to an excursion, make sure you explain it to the tour guide when you make the change. In our case, she must have figured it out since I got a call the next day from the ship telling me that they were reimbursing us for the excursion.
  9. I email to the same address and got no response. Thank you.
  10. Our last cruise (May of this year) we got covid and couldn't really take advantage of our premium package.
  11. I booked a hotel that I really like (J8 Hotel) and they have a 24 hour reception. The email from my booking site said "This property doesn't offer after-hours check-in. Front desk staff will greet guests on arrival." I've seen a number of reviews that mention late night check-in but I can't get a confirmation that they allow it from the hotel. I've emailed and FB them.
  12. I don't see an upgrade price anywhere. I booked with all included and the drink package is on my invoice but not the Celebrity page.
  13. How do I find the cost to upgrade the drink package? On our drink package page, it shows $86.99 for the premium and $70.99 for the classic. Would the upgrade cost $16?
  14. Chocolate cake was available on May 31 on Infinity:
  15. When we were onboard a few weeks ago, the wifi wasn't too bad in the theater and other public places. I was horrible in our cabin and, unfortunately, we were quarantined there for 5 days.
  16. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have misunderstood. I called and said I wanted to change the date of my return flight. They booked a return flight and cancelled my other flights. I understand what happened. Do you? THEY are the professionals and should know what they're doing.
  17. Well, in my case, they forgot to make the new reservations
  18. Can someone recommend a reasonably priced Singapore hotel that allows late night/early morning check-in. Our flight lands at 12:10 AM, so we expect to get to the hotel around 2:00 am
  19. We don't take much that's delicate. My clothes always come back very nice and better folded than I do at home.
  20. Be very careful about making any changes to your Celebrity Air reservation. I called yesterday to cancel/change our return flight. They were very helpful and changed it quickly to another airline. Luckily, I followed up by checking our outgoing flight and found that they canceled our entire reservation, not just the return flight. It took several calls to get everything settled.
  21. I can't even seem to see the excursions we took in Europe. Does anyone have a link to add a review.
