My sister and I are trying Aqua class for the first time. She is great, however, at meals we like to meet others and have a different conversation for a bit. Does Blu have tables where you can join others like the MDR?

Thank you for the almost live information! I join the ship on Jan 6, first time in Aquaclass. Wondering if the beef will be better as they are stocking the kitchen from Argentina? I was interested also in knowing who your Cruise Director is, and if they are staying on for January. Many thanks, Sandy

So how was it?

Thank you!!!

I was wondering the same thing- it is usually in your daily news if you wouldn’t mind looking for the cruise director and activity manager?

Thanks again- all good information and advice.

Thanks all for the prompt replies! We are on Reflection TA in October.

We have had some great experiences with cruise directors who have truly made the trip so much fun (shout out to Allehandro and Guiseppe) so I am wondering is there a place I can find out who is on what boat? We have a couple of cruises coming up and I am curious. Thanks in advance! Sandy

Thanks Ken- we are on the Reflection but not until October- so who knows what the rules will be then!!

Did anyone notice a requirement to have a negative covid test within two days of sailing on a Transatlantic?

Confirming- no corkage fee if you have a classic package? Also- anyone happen to know how much sparkling water is- I drink it a lot, and would purchase the upgrade if it made sense. Many thanks!!

Same number

Also on the Apex transatlantic, caught covid near the end, and did not get a response to emails. When I called the engagement center, I had the same issues it sounds like others did (long waits and different answers). The reimbursement value was different depending upon who you spoke with. All that said- these folks are working from home, not in a call center, and have to call their supervisor to confirm whatever they do. This creates a huge bottleneck for processing and leads to the long wait times. Everyone was unfailingly courteous and tried to be helpful. In the end, despite being told differently a couple of times, I was able to just move the entire refund to my next cruise without having to go through FCC or refund to credit card. This was the best solution for me for several reasons-it may not be what you would want or advise (this statement to prevent anticipated arguments against doing it this way). And- the reason I was able to get this done was the last time I called (I had been on hold for an hour and 15 minutes on the other line) I asked (nicely) to speak directly to the supervisor. Easy peasy. Could have had everything resolved in 10 minutes if I had done that the first call.

I caught Covid on the Apex, disembarked in Amsterdam and completed my isolation there. Then I had a get-out-of-jail free card for the rest of my European vacation because with both vaccines and two boosters, followed by Covid- I was bullet-proof! I know immunity won't last- but take advantage of it while you can and travel!!

Actually, Celebrity collected them now that I recall. I was confusing with British customs who came to the door to do the face to face. Covid- brain fog.
