There were no tea kettles in the Sky Suites on the Apex and the Reflection. If you're getting them when you stay in a Sky Suite that may be again due to your Zenith status.

I have requested then even when not sailing in a Sky suite and they have always accommodated. I definitely do not have Zenith status.

Right after I spent all of our OBC for an Alaska cruise in June, an additional $300 showed up. It said I had earned it. We don’t do casinos so nothing to do with that. I couldn’t figure it out

These have been free at our local library and they proctor via telehealth as described above. Can’t believe selling for 69.99! We purchased 2 non proctored at CVS for 23$

That's for a 2 pack. Presumably you can get a single test kit as well, though I don't see that option from a quick search on their site.

Planning on booking Aust/NZ with B2B of Pacific Islands. Does anybody have any info on port vs starboard particularly for views?

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. It is helpful. As much as I love Celebrity I will check out some of the other ideas.

Which itinerary is best for Alaska? Looking for 2020.

The crowd tends to be a but older but it really is pretty diverse. On our last cruise on the Reflection we met and enjoyed the company of several couples in their 20s and 30s. Isn't really about age. As for dress just don't go to the main dining room on chic night but really the dress code is relaxed enough that it even says jeans. It just has a more laid back atmosphere instead of frenetic activity. We have done Carnival (never again), NCL ( a little better) but Celebrity the best by far for service.

I just saw on another site that someone posted they had been upgraded to a suite with an infinite balcony on the Connie and was surprised as they didn't know they had them. Maybe that is why.

We are booked on Feb 24th but it also is no longer on the Celebrity site.

... and I thought seeing the price of gas spike twenty or thirty cents at the pumps was "perplexing" (for lack of a kinder word) every time there's world instability, a tropical storm, or "seasonal" changes to the fuel mixture...

It's kind of crazy. We booked an S2 for $2550 which us now $4099.

Would you mind sharing how much you paid for the S2 per person?

Went through a TA. S2 for $5600 for 2 total with all 4 perks but we booked the 2nd day. Paid for S2 with a one cabin upgrade

And I saw that some of the Sky Suites have a 163 sq ft balcony???? How can a Sky Suite have a bigger balcony then a Royal Suite!?

There has to be a mistake!

The bigger balconies are to accommodate the Magic Carpet that travels up and down. The S3's are in that area

Booked S2 for Feb 24th. Never had a sky suite on Celebrity and the Retreat looks awesome

We were in 2173 on the hump. It was the best cabin location I have had. One quick stairway up to bar, pool, and food. Large balcony no we never had an issue with noise. Enjoy your suite!

Reading over this thread just reinforces why I normally don't post on CC. It seems like there are always those who are looking to correct or be confrontational when people are just trying to be helpful. It definitely discourages open discourse.

Which cruise in Nov. we are in 1138 next door on the Nov 3rd cruise. The pictures of both look great. Can't wait.

Thanks so much for the comments and pictures. We are booked in 1138 for Nov. and it sounds like everything I was hoping for. 22 seconds is well worth any other problem we could come up with!
