That is what we use.

Email from Cruise Critic , Things to avoid for a cruise, Insurance from a cruise line. It is from this site There are many private insurances that will cover you. We get a annual traveling policy that covers us for the year for any travel. I don’t care about the cost of the cruise as that is money already spent. I am concerned about the catastrophic medical part . I am on Medicare and I am not covered after so so many hours away from a USA port. I have also found that many health care insurance companies don’t cover medical conditions outside of the USA. You need to look at your policy. We take too many things for granted and it can cost us if not prepared. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

There was a premium drink plus package that included the premium drink pack upgrade plus the mini bar, snacks and casino credit. It was a deal depend on the length of the cruise. You got daily 2 splits of wine, mini bottles of Tito’s vodka, Kind Bars, and Pringles. I think if the cruise was 7 days it was a no brainer as the casino credit covered the cost. I don’t know if it is still offered Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Find a BT that you like and makes the drinks the way that you like them. Grease their palm. They will accommodate you If you don’t have a package or want to upgrade do it with a BT that you like. They get the 20% gratuity. PLEASE DON’T DO IT WITH THE HAWKS THAT APPROACH YOU AROUND THE SHIP ON THE FIRST DAY. They are chasing the gratuity and you will never see them again. DO IT WITH SOMEONE THAT WILL BE SERVING YOU AND WILL ACCOMMODATE YOU. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We recently booked 1615, the same cabin but on the port sode, on the Silhouette. The price was crazy. It was less than a Sky Suite. We would normally book a SS but couldn’t pass this up. $702 pp for a 4 day cruise plus around $500 OBC we booked many B2B. I don’t care if it is the same ports. I cruise for cruising and to enjoy the ship. We try to avoid the sun and like the large overhang. Is the balcony for the most part in the shade. I know it depends on the time of day and the way the ship is sailing. We spend a lot of time on the balcony. It is nice for a coffee In the morning and enjoying the sea while relaxing on the loungers in the afternoon reading or napping while sipping on a bourbon that we got before going to the cabin and depending on the butler they may deliver. Thanks Happy cruising 🚢🇺🇸🇺🇸🌅

We were on the Summit when Capt Kate took over for Capt Leo. It was here first time being a captain. It was a 14 day New England cruise. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I replaced ours with a walk-in shower. I did all of the work except for installing the counter top and shower glass. It was included in the cost and glad that they did it We haven’t used a bath tub to take a bath in ages. We only shower. For those that shower only they are dangerous. They are hard to stand in because they are slippery and worse when on a ship that is rocking and rolling. Many have told us that it will decrease the value of our house. I don’t care. I am the one living in it. If the potential by]Uber don’t like it than don’t buy it. The other is it won’t be my problem because I do t plan on moving. I will die here. Many hotels are also replacing the combo tubs showers with showers only. Before and now Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

On the E class they charge for pastries in the French Cafe. There is a charge for Gelato In Craft Social there is a food menu that charges for food. There are also some restaurants with charges for upgraded entrees Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I asked if I could order a drink and not dine in Sushi and was told that it is a restaurant and not a bar. Denied. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I was looking at shore excursions. There are are and weight restrictions on some. On one it listed the maximum age of 100. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It may be difficult because of the B2B meeting they may have to attend to get the transit pass for the next cruise. There will be a letter delivered announcing it and also a message on the phone to remind you. You will have to be on the look out for all of that. You may also be able to pick up the passes without them attending. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Shouldn’t zero alcohol vodka be water? Gin is also nothing more than vodka infuse with Juniper Berries. So it would be water infused with the berries. Get water and add lime, lemon, orange, tea, coffee and etc. No alcohol A few of my relatives attend AA. They won’t drink any product that claims to be alcohol free such as beer and spirits because it still has alcohol traces. Just trying to help. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Read my post again. It doesn’t say anything about being denied a table for 2. I wrote it is the reason we like Blu. Sorry if it wasn’t clear. We were never denied a table for 2 and prefer dining that way. Thanks for your post if it was perceived that way and I am now able to correct it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸

Does the tv swing away from the wall so you can watch it while in the bed? Thanks Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It is up to 35%.. Most are less but still worth booking if you find something. It is still going on. Just sign into your Celebrity account. Go to your reservation or cruises and then manage cruises and etc. you should be able to figure it out. It does get confusing whe doing the payment. I don’t why they don’t just ask if you want to use the OBC. You have to enter the amount. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The only time reservations are required or recommended is if you are with a large party and want a table for 6 or more. They will try to accommodate you as not many in AQ want to share a large table with others. Having a table for 2 is one of the reasons we like AQ. When dining in a land based restaurant does any ever request sitting with other diners? There are a lot of opportunities to meet others on board the ship and personally I have met many at the bars and waiting in line that we have become friends with. Friends being traveling to visit them, texting, phone calls and being on other cruises and etc. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

There is a canopy set up on the dock that offers free cups of water, and a iced towel Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We used the Elite Plus benefit of 4 cards for the price of 3. When buying the at the cashiers window the cashier took one card and did something on the computer and then said this card is a winner. We weren’t drawn to be a contestant and I think it it better not to be. We ended up winning $400 cash on that card by matching 6 numbers. My wife claims he did something to the card. I said he was just making the charge to our account. Coincidence?🤷‍♂️ We also won some smaller amounts that were for casino play. There weren’t many playing and it was held in Celebrity Central. Neither person drawn to play won much money. One did win a cruise but said it was about worthless. It was a 3 night Caribbean cruise in a inside cabin. I seen her later and she said they wouldn’t be using it because of the available dates and the travel cost involved. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I would recommend getting about 4 towels from the pool area to take back to your cabin to line the chairs on the balcony. I leave them folded over to help soften them up a little bit. The towels also help with other things that they may be needed for. I will use one as a exercise mat and to stretch. I also use one to stand on when getting dressed when I don’t have my shoes on. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

On the Alex and Edge we didn’t spend much time in there. For us the loungers weren’t as comfortable as those on the S class. They are also directly under a slanted window. During the day they are mostly in the sun light. My wife and are fairly nimble and for us it was a little difficult getting in and out of because they are close together and also because of the slanted window not giving much overhead room. It could be a challenge for those that aren’t. As another posted the rooms are rather senseless. One has a salt block, another a crystal rock, and a heated room. In the Caribbean I can sit on a outside deck and get the salt, humidity, and heat. I don’t need to sit in a uncomfortable room. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The other is “I understand”. My response is ‘No you don’t understand. If you did you would take care of the issue.” Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Another thing to consider is that the availability of “premium” drinks. We just got off of a B2B on the Equinox. We we in a SS. The premium wines seemed to disappear during the cruise and weren’t available on the next. Supply issue was the excuse. I am a bourbon drinker. On the Apex in Mar Woodford was available. On the Equinox they wasn’t any to be found. Supply issue. The only bourbons were those that were covered in the classic package. Supply issue There were also other spirits in the premium list that weren’t available. Supply issue I wonder why there weren’t any supply issue with those in the classic package ? Being a suite that had a premium pack included I got nothing better than a classic offering. Didn’t get what I paid for Something to consider. You can read many post about the so called supply issue on the spirits Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

But you aren’t the target. They want that other crowd. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🌅🇺🇸

I have sailed on 6 cruises this year on Celebrity. I look at future cruises and the prices are increasing and that is understandable as everything is increasing In price. My issue is on the quality of the food, and the liquor and wine selections have also decreased on a linear scale during those 6 cruises. It is bad enough that the prices are really increasing but don’t charge for something that was promised and don’t provide with the excuse of it being a supply problem. The supply problem is an excuse for Celebrity not wanting to supply it to cut cost. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

My observations and based on Caribbean cruises The early shows are usually 30%. The later shows are more crowded. Since most are frequent passengers they no longer want to see the same lame production shows that haven’t been changed and won’t attend. I am one Some guests entertainers are good and could warrant seeing again but for the most part they are constant repeats. Don’t need to see again. The crowded party showing the younger crowd could have been a special party for the crew. This happened on a cruise we were on. The pool deck was closed to the passengers for a crew party. It is like the photos in the brochures glamorizing the cruise experience showing the young dressed to the nines dining and drinking. I have never seen that many younger passengers on a cruise other than the crew or it may have been a staged event for the video. On our last cruise the atrium was full of ‘old” people participating in the silent disco. They were in the atrium, on the stairs and along the upper decks. It was the same for the moon party. The pool area was packed with the old folks. It is marketing but the old folks are those paying the bills and the younger generation isn’t interested in cruises and most can’t afford it. If they can afford it there are other places that are more attractive and desirable where they can spend their money without any restrictions. EX. They can go to any bar and purchase real premium spirits and not be told it is a supply issue. We were recently. it is nothing for them to buy a bottle at a club paying $1000, smoke weed, doing drugs and having free for all sex. Won’t happen on X no matter how hard they try. Too many restrictions to attract that crowd. Why go on a cruise when you have South Beach? Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
