Will they still deliver specialty coffee and pastries from Cafe Al Bacio to sky suites?

I doubt they will have time based on the number of butlers being cut from service to sky suites 

I have posted this before, we have 23 days on Silverseas Silver Nova next April Ft Lauderdale to Vancouver in a Deluxe balcony for £4829 per person compared to Edge this October booked October 2021 over £4000 p p for a sky suite 14 days

And if there are two diamonds in the same cabin you still only get one dinner.

Yes just the one dinner

The routine is get up and ready take your carry on with you and go to breakfast or come back for your carry on after breakfast. We have often left it packed and locked in the room so the cabin attendant can get on with his getting it ready for next occupants. Go to the meeting point for disembarkation.

It will be easier to take carry on with you as elevators will be extremely busy.

Suggest you look at dummy booking places that interest you for this year that will give you an idea of what will be open.

I remember seeing this thread so found for you

I would ring them on the Voyagers Club number on the registration page. I have friends from Manchester who now live in Portugal and they had trouble registering 

I guess someone will be!!!

I believe it’s fantastica so it would be assigned. Love the idea of being an American minority!!! Thank you for all the information. 

If you are sailing out of Miami / Florida ports the ship will have lots of Americans onboard

Where abouts are you from?? I did a Norway cruise on this ship in May and the onboard currency

was £££ . MSC customer service sometimes don't know exactly what happens on ships..

Norway currency is Krone so your card (Revolut) will be useful there for any purchases while

on shore at the momewnt its about 12.5 to the £ on travel money exchange

You can register a credit card at the start of the cruise and they will put a provisional debit  on the

card at the end of the cruise the amount spent will replace the debit. 

If you booked in UK tips are included in your fare so don't worry about that

I posted this to be informative not to start the arguments the ensued!!

The only luggage service I have seen is some airlines offer a free service from Central railway station to the airport. This like a lot of things it was pre Covid

The people taking your room will want to board asap so you may not be able to stay beyond 9.00 to 9.30 am

I had my phone call last evening. I wasn’t on the phone long as have a bad cough. 

 

I discussed IV, said would be good to have a balcony and IV option if X is sold on IV.

 

Butlers - ‘give us a chance’ was told it was to help spread the load. No other benefits being eliminated. 
 

Vaping no decisions been made yet. 

 

 

 

 

Much the same as the call I received last week!!

It has been confirmed on Seascape as well as Seaside, but also confirmed it is not in YC.

 

Waiting with interest to see if this is fleet-wide, or just the US based cruises...

I have Canaries on Virtuosa on September 9th , will be YC but can try and investigate 

38 pages on Equinox and Eclipse vaping

On Celebrity UK website there is a heading Our Ships

https://www.celebritycruises.com/gb

All the ships are listed so you can compare them

We did NYE dinner on Constellation 2016/2017 it was a waste of money, we went back to Luminae and joined friends . Be aware it did not include wine at that time for $99 per person.
