janeyzee Posted March 10, 2015 #3326 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Totally new to Celebrity, will be on Infinity in November for the Panama Canal cruise from San Diego. Are there any threads that would be the best for a Celebrity newbie? Regularly cruise on RCI, first time on Celebrity, and wasn't sure where to start with all the threads here in CC. Any suggestions would be great, glad I found this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcgold Posted March 10, 2015 #3328 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Totally new to Celebrity, will be on Infinity in November for the Panama Canal cruise from San Diego. Are there any threads that would be the best for a Celebrity newbie? Regularly cruise on RCI, first time on Celebrity, and wasn't sure where to start with all the threads here in CC. Any suggestions would be great, glad I found this thread! my advice is just ignore the boring " i have been on zillions of cel x cruises and we are elite/zenith members". even spottted one post that claimed they were "(Very) Elite" did a panama canal cruise and we had a ball. suggest if you like a drink or 2 to get a package as our bill was a bit eye watering at the end [emoji33] martini bar is usually good i seem to remember ([emoji12]). and also the murano restaurant but these are personal and subjective views. main thing is to enjoy it which i am sure you will [emoji2] Edited March 10, 2015 by gcgold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFCAcruiser Posted March 10, 2015 #3329 Share Posted March 10, 2015 ... Are there any threads that would be the best for a Celebrity newbie? Regularly cruise on RCI, first time on Celebrity, and wasn't sure where to start with all the threads here in CC. Any suggestions would be great, glad I found this thread! I would suggest that this particular thread is perhaps the least valuable to you. Feel free to read all 168 pages if you like (and this is Volume II) but it is unlikely to provide the information you seem to be seek. Are you aware that the thread title of "Who's Onboard" refers to the staff, not the passengers. Since you are new to Celebrity, the staff names would be unfamiliar to you except for an occasional transfer from RCI. You could look into the ports of call forum to find Panama Canal cruise information. I would also second Arno's suggestion you visit the Roll Call section to find your Infinity cruise fellow passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeyzee Posted March 11, 2015 #3334 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Best place to start is with the Infinity roll Calls. Welcome to Celebrity Thanks, I'm already in the roll call and signed up for the Meet and Greet or whatever Celebrity calls it. Was just wondering if there was a new to Celebrity type thread to get advice on how they differ from other cruise lines. The people in the roll call have given me a little advice already.

Orator Posted March 11, 2015 #3335 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This thread has become a catch all for concerns, complaints, ideas and questions that are completely unrelated to the discussion of whose on board. I most certainly appreciate Arno's efforts to keep us informed, but I believe it's time to move a Whose On Board to a Sticky, like the S Class Sticky that would be strictly limited to information on staffing. Further discussion of this post would only contribute to taking discussion further away from the purpose of the thread and I can understand why a Host might want to remove it. I will say no more.

janeyzee Posted March 12, 2015 #3336 Share Posted March 12, 2015 did a panama canal cruise and we had a ball. suggest if you like a drink or 2 to get a package as our bill was a bit eye watering at the end [emoji33] martini bar is usually good i seem to remember ([emoji12]). and also the murano restaurant but these are personal and subjective views. main thing is to enjoy it which i am sure you will [emoji2] We got the Classic package in the 1-2-3-Go promotion so we are set for drinks. Yes we plan to enjoy it. Been on Royal and Disney and one Carnival so wondered where to go to hear all about Celebrity and why people like them as opposed to other lines. Just curious I guess.

upwarduk Posted March 12, 2015 #3343 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Anyone know who is going to be the CD on Eclipse sailing from Southampton this summer The summer- which cruise? I believe Sue Denning is on at the moment, do they work 6 months on, 3 months off. So it depends just when she returned after Christmas, I think it was at the end of January. Which probably means she won't be on my cruise at the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
