Tri but people also should not intentionally mislead on cc

Isn’t that what the whole bidding process is? If this happened a week or two before the cruise AFTER your bid was accepted and paid for that is different. But when you bid someone can always outbid you until it’s final. I have changed it removed my bid in the past. I always bid low and assume I’m not going to get it.

Not all of our drinks have showed up with the 0. We could go to martini bar and have two each and only one of us has a single $0 charge.

I confirm that also

Onboard now and asked at the future cruise desk. They only said “end of November”

On embarkation day for our transatlantic there were people insisting that Celebrity no longer required testing. They didn’t read the full info in the emails or in the web page that clearly listed TA testing requirements. They had to pay for expensive dock side testing. People come to CC looking for info and we should try and share the correct, full info and not headlines that may mislead people.

I assume if there were others on the buss they would have stopped at each ship. But Connie my ship was the first one we came to and at 10am we were only ones on the bus.

Nonstop. Right at the ship.

Direct shuttle from train still running. We were only ones on the bus.

So this one is no longer running? Either way we can get on at the train station. http://www.civitavecchia-servizi-pubblici-srl.it/portlink/

Can anyone confirm that the shuttle is still running FROM the train station to the ship? And that it’s clearly marked right outside the station. Thanks

What I learned since posting…What is important is the date the testing company puts on the test results. I am in Italy and emed uses UTC. So when I wanted to test at 0015 local time on Thursday the date on the test would have been Wednesday 2215. rapid test and trace let’s you select the time zone you are in and the date and time is based on that.

I need a proctored test 2 days prior for a TA. I am already in Italy. If I use Rapid test and trace will the documents be dated for where I am of for where they are? I want to take it as early as possible on Thursday but that will still be Wed at home.

You mentioned a travel agent - Did you book directly with Celebrity Air or did your travel agent? If you booked directly ask them to escalate it and have a supervisor contact you.

We have had early dining unavailable when booked and been waitlisted but then after final payment we were confirmed for early.

It all depends on the type of vacation you are looking for. Sometimes a port intensive cruise with Diving, snorkeling and lots of excursions. My next is a TA with 6 straight sea days plus a 3 more sprinkled in. I think when many people are unhappy with their cruise they booked the wrong cruise or ship for the vacation they wanted. I like both kinds but I'm usually looking for one or the other.

We have taken three RCCL 4&5 day cruises out of LA since the restart. I would not call them booze cruises at all. The Carnival ones yes. We repeatedly commented about what a different crowd and vibe the RCCL cruise was compared to the equivelent Carnival one. It was a nice crowd having a good time. No loud drunk party groups. I would assume that the Celebrity ones would be the same.

Me too for same reasons. I have the BinaxNow tests but those boxes are huge when I'm only taking carryon. I was going to pay for this today and take the smaller tests but now I'm glad I had not got to it.

Is this accepted for an cruise requiring proctored tests (Transatlantic)? So I use my own test (free Govt one) and just make the video appt?

Yes, make sure your celebrity account has your royal number listed and visa versa. We just made Diamond on Royal it now shows us as elite on Celebrity when I log in.

I'm on a similar Celebrity cruise (also never before) but our boarding time is 11:00 am - we are Elite in Aqua so i'm not sure if either of those gave us an earlier time. But, at least by 11:00. How are you arriving at the port? If it's by train there are some restaurants by the train station for a cup of coffee then you can take the port shuttle to the ship.

Same - drink packages canceled but wifi still there

45 days - check in opened today for my October 22 cruise

I recently called - it was $135pp to upgrade with Elite discount for our 15 night cruise - $9pp per day

From the FAQ - so yes you can test tomorrow if your sailing says 2 days befoe How do I calculate which days I may take my pre-cruise COVID-19 test? When calculating which days you can take your test, be aware that the day you set sail is not counted as one of the days, unless the country of embarkation stipulates that the test be taken within 24 hours of arrival. For example, if you are setting sail on a Saturday, and you are required to test 3 days before your sailing, you can take your test on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday; and for 2 days in advance, you can take the test Thursday or Friday.
