I didn't notice outdoor hookups but there are small speakers on the deck. Several people from the corporate office will be on the December 7th sailing. Service everywhere has been excellent.

Open the cabinet under the TV in the living room, there is likely a headphone jack cable and stereo receiver that will power the veranda speakers, and possibly also the speakers in the ceiling throughout the cabin. This is how it was situated on Summit last month.

Hi everyone,

Answers to questions so far

 

Yes, we were given free lunch in Bistro on Five on our port day in Nassau for all suite guest cabin levels since Luminae is closed on port days for lunch. I'll report back if it is offered when we get to Cozumel.

 

We had ps 6148 the first leg and ps 6147 for the second, the rest of our cabins were able to have the same cabin. The ps connect to our favorite sky suites by a door that would open near the dining room table in the ps if the door was unlocked.

 

As far as the casino and obc, my brother got his chips for the nonrefundable part and came out ahead, and was able to cash out his profits. I am not sure why the casino instituted it other than to have another revenue stream.

 

Also for the first time on Connie that I've experienced it this year(3 other previous sailings) they are now issuing 1099's for jackpots above the 1199 dollar amount. I think I was one of the first, as they made me sign six copies for a 1500 dollar win. I was grateful for the win but you usually sign once and they couldn't decide if they wanted my driver's license or my passport for about 10 minutes. Table play was much less strict on deciding when to require a 1099.

 

I did ask the hotel director and the concierge and was told that for new bookings starting in January 2016, no more free specialty dining for sky or celebrity suites since there is Luminae. Anything booked before then will be honored.

 

Still no new information on itineraries other than Eclipse for 2017 that have been released. Future cruise sales is just suggesting that you deposit something, get the onboard booking perks and then switch the reservation to the new sailing you want when they release to Captain's Club members on December 8th. They have no info to share on what new ports or sailings are coming. I do have the ta ports list for 2017 and very few changes from the 2016 sailings and of course no prices yet.

 

Captain Tasos stated that he is onboard for another two months, then Captain George on Equinox will take over , then Captain Tasos returns after his vacation. Captain Nikolas, after his vacation will be going to the Millenium and not back on Constellation.

 

Captain Tasos did the very best Liar's Club I have ever seen in all of our Celebrity sailings. I don't think it will make the voyage in review dvd! I learned some new words as well( or at least I think they are words)

 

Grace and Rudy, lovely to hear from you. We will have another group of Texans on the Silhouette in mid Feb. I would love to cruise with ya'll anytime.

 

Music levels good, all types of dancing music , three trivias a day, staff is wonderful as always.

 

Excellent service in Michael's Club, and I believe it will continue as they are training extra staff to accommodate increased numbers.

Angela and Mario have two of the most pleasant dispositions of any staff members as bar staff.

 

Happy to answer any questions as wifi has been good so far.

 

Who was your butler? We are on the 12/21 sailing.

We had Nikola, the head butler on both sailings, and we are back next weekend in 6147. both butlers are incredible, and you will have a wonderful Christmas holiday. Erick Guzman is the Michael's Club concierge, and Jonette is the Captain's Club host until she rejoins the Eclipse in February.

 

If you have not had a holiday cruise in the PS before, the staff make it extra special.

 

I cannot say enough nice things about all of the hardworking staff on the Constellation, Captain Tasos is very funny and interacts with the passengers

 

Have a great sailing

This is our 1st Christmas sailing. Our first Celebrity cruise was over Thankgiving in a CS years ago....before they had balconies on them.

 

With this being a 5 day cruise, and them doing away with formal dress, should we be prepared to be invited to an officers table for dinner? Also our reservation is linked with my mothers and she is in a RS so not sure how that comes into play.

Thank you for the reply.
