Facial recognition is tied to the photo in your passport. When you disembark, you'll proceed to a series of small pedestal-style kiosks, where you'll look at a screen that reads your face with a camera and compares it with the photo that's linked to your passport or visa. Travelers who don't want to have their photos taken can, instead, request that CBP verify their identities directly.

It is difficult to say price wise. You basically have to review the upcharge vs what a spa pass would cost for the week. These suites are new so I’m not sure if they also have the aqua class shower amenities etc. I considered one but I’m happy with my S1.

Something else to consider to make the choice more difficult. Beyond and Ascent have Aqua Sky Suites that give you all the aqua class perks AND all the suite perks.

The bar before World Class Bar was the Molecular Bar. It was a partnership with a “celebrity” mixologist. The cocktails were licensed to Celebrity Cruises for a fee. At the start of the partnership the mixologist trained the bartenders in the cocktails. Eventually, celebrity figured out they could rebrand the bar, move away from the licensed cocktails and introduce their own, thus reducing cost and increasing profit. It is a business after all. I really enjoy WCB and can’t wait to frequent it on my Beyond B2B, but found Molecular Bar to have better cocktails.
