My husband went 7 and 12 weeks after his replacements. He was tired, but walked up to 4 miles a day each day on the ship. He enjoyed the distraction of being on the ship. He went to the gym every day to do his PT.

We had booked our transport for 7:39, got off at 7:30 and they were waiting for us

Yes, my kindle, found easily when they stripped the bed. Took about a month for them to ship it.

Does that mean 5 Guys?

We got assigned our cabins about two weeks out for a cruise 2 weeks ago. We have found since Royal Up that we rarely find out more than 30 days ahead

We did this last Friday, we handed the immigration paperwork to the official and kept walking. We didn't even slow our step!

We debarked in Vancouver yesterday, the line went so quickly I didn't quite have our paperwork in hand when we got to the immigration official.

Glad to hear that you are excited, we've never sailed Aqua so don't know what to expect. Luckily the new "reclassified" cabins include Aqua in deck 19, so we keep our original cabins which had been concierge class.

This is the letter I got from celebrity this morning about the changes on solstice. Is Aqua Class really an improvement over Concierge class? Dear Guest, We're looking forward to welcoming you aboard our upcoming Celebrity Solstice® sailing! Early next year, our ship will be going through a revitalization - renewing the look and feel of some of our incredible stateroom offerings and reimagining amazing spaces and venues onboard. As a result, some stateroom categories will be upgraded, and your stateroom is included! While we know you originally booked a Concierge Class stateroom, you'll now be able to enjoy an AquaClass® stateroom instead, along with the AquaClass amenities it offers! Check out these amazing amenities by visiting Our Stunning Aqua Class Staterooms | Celebrity Cruises. Please note that our deck plans are still under construction, so check back on the Celebrity Cruises website within the coming weeks for the updated plans. Additionally, the rate you paid for your current stateroom will remain unchanged, so you can enjoy this upgraded stateroom at no extra cost. Your stateroom number and location will also remain the same. Keep an eye out for a new booking invoice with your updated Stateroom Category. To see more exciting revitalization updates click here. If you have any questions regarding your accommodations, please contact your Travel Advisor immediately or contact us at: Consumer Outreach: 1-800-556-8209 International: Please find your local Celebrity Cruises office here Thank you for your patience and understanding as we made these adjustments. We truly cannot wait to sail with you aboard the revitalized Celebrity Solstice! Sincerely,

We agree wholeheartedly and have really enjoyed our transition to Celebrity. We have 4 more cruises planned on Royal, then we shall see. One of our favorite things on the Quantum class is the Solarium Bistro, I would miss it if we couldn't use it.

Keep an eye out on the compass for enrichment lectures which are often very interesting. Also, there's often a matinee with the guest stars or sometimes the cast themselves put on showcases. Those are always great fun. We also enjoy when they use the theater for movies in the afternoon.

We've been very happy with Celebrity, and appreciate that D+ makes us Elite plus. The only thing I hope they do is introduce drink vouchers rather than the 2 hour happy hour with a limited menu.

We've done the train, it's super easy, you can buy tickets at the station. We generally buy them ahead of time so we can pick a seat. The train carriages have numbers on them so you can find which carriage you are on. There's storage on the train for your bags. The shuttle to the port is to the right as you come out of the Civitavecchia train station.

Liberty of the Seas leaves Port Everglades to go to Southampton April 3, 2026

Unless you can afford to miss part of your cruise and pay to catch up to your ship, never ever fly in the day of your cruise. And, if you are coming from the States, you'll have at least a 6 hour time difference, could be up to 10 hours. That takes a long time to adjust to, so you won't enjoy the first few days.

We buy the UDP on most sailings. We don't care for the food in the MDR. We don't pay for a drink or internet package, so it's our splurge for our cruise.

I found everyone really nice, very engaging and friendly.

Take the longest cruise you have time for and don't go in the summer and you'll find there are far fewer children. We've made the switch to Celebrity, but I cannot comment on the night time activities because we are generally in the cabin by 10 pm. The Celebrity TA we just took had a lot of extra entertainment and activities. There was a refreshing decrease in the amount of trivia, no sexy man or belly flop contracts.

Good advice, I'll try

They say you can do it online, I purchased my package before they rolled that option out. Historically, I've just gone to the specialty restaurant that is open when I board and I hand my reservation requests to the maitre d. They take care of it when I'm eating.

Let's hope they are getting better! This last cruise they got all 4 knees every time.

We had a dedicated Concierge, nibbles in the cabin every afternoon, two different wine tastings and a special invitation to see a sail away from the helicopter pad, there's a special lunch on embarkation. There is also a "pillow menu", and in room umbrella and small binoculars to use.

Yes, it always freaks me out when they don't identify my knee replacements. They do catch it the vast majority of the time, but still...

You are correct, TSA is for air travel and do not work security at cruise ports. The cruise port and airports use the same equipment. I should have used better punctuation to differentiate the settings, and emphasized that the equipment is the same.
