Does anyone know if they put solo cruisers in shared tables in the MDR for meals? Or were they placed alone.

 

Talk to the hostess each time time when checking in ensure you're seated where you want to be

If you are vaccinated you should be able to sit wherever you would like.

Any insight on late disembarkation? Our flight in a couple of weeks isn’t until 5:30, trying to figure out options

Off by 9am. Might book an excursion and see how they handle your luggage.

I didn’t see, but I doubt it. I think there could have been a solo meet and greet. Check the Celebrity Today’s I posted. Thx!

If you say nothing, they'll seat you where THEY like which could be a 2 seater where you're sitting solo.  Communicate during check in that you want a shared table to ensure you get what you want. 🙂

I sailed solo on the Edge in Feb 2020 just before the world turned upside down. I had Select Dining and was never seated with others at dinner. (Breakfast is another matter.) As I understand it, Select is the only way to guarantee you won't be seated with others at dinner.

Did you wish to be seated with others at dinner?

I am vaccinated but would not want to sit at a table with unvaccinated kids (or near them).  Perhaps they are in a different part of the dining room by operational design?

This is part of the overall concern with vaccinated / unvaccinated mingling in general - not just unvaccinated kids. Time will tell.

It is amazing to me that everywhere I go in my local area, no younger kids are wearing masks now for even indoor locations like grocery stores or in church.  For sure they are under 12 and not vaccine eligible.  Why are the parents taking a risk with Covid (particularly Delta)?  I suppose that some were previously Covid+ with natural immunity but definitely not all of them.  Just wondering what is happening on ships like EDGE with masks and children?  Being enforced?  What about shore excursions?  Unvaccinated kids are at risk and can bring the virus on board. They should at least be wearing masks.

The two kids that I saw today on the Edge get on an elevator with their father  did not have on masks.

That’s disappointing…especially on an elevator

I am set to sail on 24 July on Edge and received this email yesterday. It has info for those who are vaccinated, those who are not, children and requirements based on age.  It also contains information on ports, it is a lengthy email but provides great info.  Hope it helps you all.

Thanks for posting the email. I like that unvaccinated adults will have the added expense and protocols for testing and mask wearing.  Why anyone unvaccinated would try to cruise under theses restrictions amazes me. I believe you should get stuck or stay home. That is the reality of today's times.

No. Which is why Select is the way to go for me. I was responding to the question about if they seat solos with others. As I understand it, the assumption is private table if you do Select. You can REQUEST it for fixed dining, but not guaranteed.

Thank you so much for posting!! I'm especially glad to see where you can do on your own excursions and where you can't. Since I'm fully vaxxed, I'll be contacting my favorite tour provider in St. Maarten ASAP to see if he has availability for February!

I asked why kids on this cruise weren’t wearing masks and was told it was optional in spite of Celebrity’s statement that masks would be required for the unvaccinated.

[Covepointcruiser]

Very bad policy to allow unvaccinated 16 and understand to roam the ship without masks spreading COVID potentially to the others who are also unvaccinated.    Unfortunately some of the vaccinated may also be susceptible because the vaccine is not as effective on immune compromised individuals.   This is a recipe for disaster.

It is only "recommended' for <16 per the email included above

"Masks are encouraged for unvaccinated guests under 16 years old while indoors when not eating or drinking."

Could well be. Once again, glad I'm not sailing till next spring. Hopefully by then we'll be in a safer place...but who knows? Relatively speaking, we're not that far into this whole vaccination phase yet. So many unknowns especially with variants. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Sounds like you made your decision:  Protocol doesn't suit you, so you decided to hold off on cruising.  Pretty simple, especially if you don't have faith in the experimental vaccine.  

We trust that it's effective, and we accept the protocols, so we are choosing to cruise.

We are sailing on the Edge on the 24th and just received in email stating check in time "none". Has anyone else received this?

Did you select a time when you did your online check-in?  You might want to ask this on the roll call for the 24th.  I answered because I am also going on that sailing.

Just throwing this out there,

 

Anyone in a suite and used speciality dinning, did you have a phone number prior to sailing you called to make reservations? 

 

Thanks

 

Cheers!
