Thanks, Den... will be interested to see how available the alcove type places are. We always book Sunset Verandas so we're definitely happy with wake view, but hope for some comfortable chairs!

Thanks so much for your comments. We're on Apex in January 2023 and Oct 2024, as well as Edge in May 2024. We spend several hours of our day in Sky Lounge reading and socializing, so we'll surely miss that area. Hopefully we can find another place with some kind of windows to enjoy... or may be a deal breaker for us as well.

We enjoy sitting in the Sky Lounge to read and play cards, and see outside. Is there some kind of comparable place on Edge class ships? Where do they hold Trivia and things like that on the Edge class ships?

We’re on Solstice with premium wifi and it’s the worst we’ve experienced in a long time. Connect… disconnected… all day long. Now, it’s possible this is due to it being Thanksgiving week and packed with families and kids… and since we never sail during these busy times I have nothing to compare to.

Thanks so much for posting this question. We are hoping to have to do this tomorrow when the new ones are released.

Will be interested to see if the Pacific Coastal repos to/from Alaska are included in this group of releases... and where will the east coast to Quebec cruises be included?

Wonder how they handle embarkation...? People have to drop luggage at berth 93 and bus over to the ship? Sounds like a giant hassle. Looked on Goggle Maps and it's 2.5 miles, so probably not walkable.

Not to worry… Future Cruise people will be there for you to book onboard… $100 deposit and some obc are great benefits!

Well, I did all of those things on our Eclipse Alaska cruise last month, including flying Air Canada where everyone was masked. Still tested positive 2 days after getting home. Am I sure that I got it onboard? Of course not… but there were many, many people crammed together everywhere. Will continue masking on our Nov cruise and hope for the best.

Recently back from Alaska cruise with single rate from a sale… three of us had solo cabins and all got double points. One had to call to get them, but that’s not out of the ordinary. No issues when calling… points posted within a few days.

True... got off Eclipse a week ago and those are the only outlets except the shaver plug in the bathroom.

We used OnPoint a couple weeks ago... the rep said mine was negative as soon as the control line was filled in... lol... maybe 5 minutes start to finish.

Just got off Eclipse last week and can verify that there are only 2 US plugs and 1 2 prong European at the desk... no other plugs except the shaver plug in the bathroom... no USB in my C1 cabin. I also take a 2 prong european adapter that has 2 US plug availability.

I have found that calling Celebrity directly and waiting for hours on the phone is considerably better than sending anything via email, no matter the subject. Also agree that screen shots are always the best backup whenever you do anything on the website. I have a desktop folder with all of them by trip... lol

On Eclipse now and there is an out of bounds area on deck 3. Upon return from an excursion today there were quite a few new crew onboarding and being tested on the pier. Those cabins could be for them as they have to quarantine for at least a few days. Virtually nobody masking except crew and no mention of Covid… just the washy washy people outside Oceanview with the sanitizer. Officer said we are 100% occupancy, so not sure how that is calculated.

On Eclipse now and totally self serve.

Just boarded Eclipse and all self serve.

Same… happened two different times… not close to accurate!

Nope… but just remember that every person on the ship will have the same issue you do. I just hang stuff in the bathroom and turn on the shower.

Nope… we have friends on board… we’re supposed to board this Sunday so hope they get it figured out. What a bummer for those aboard now!

Agree... we are going next year and generally do private excursions over ship based ones. Would love to hear about what you did.

Haha... that would have been July 14th... but even the newest one wasn't added then. Have gotten points in the past, but they stopped being added in June for some reason.

I did the same thing on June 17 but was asked to email any screen shots I have… still have heard NOTHING!

Haha... agree that it's weird not to see the person you are speaking to. That's what you get with the eMed testing thru Celebrity. A different person comes back on in 15 min to see if your test is positive or negative but you never see either person.
