Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. What is the norm for tipping at the end of the cruise in the YC? We will plan to tip our waiter, assistant waiters, hostess, and an excellent musician who is frequently in the lounge (in addition to butler and junior butler), but is it customary to tip the maitre d? It’s our first time on MSC, so just trying to get a handle on things!
  2. We are booked on the Seashore in September. Thank you for all of this info! We have had butlers on Celebrity before, but I’ve always been stressed about calling/bothering them given the number of suites they have and the hours they work. If they’re bringing someone coffee at 6:00am, but also bringing me pizza at midnight, do they ever get to rest? Has anyone had someone other than the butler deliver things to the room? We are traveling with my soon to be 13 month old. Any thoughts on what I could ask the butler to make cruising with him easier? Please don’t give me a hard time about my baby! I am generally very worried about other peoples’ attitudes when he makes noise in public and quickly leave a situation - we aren’t going to ruin your vacation!
  3. Curious about the infants and toddlers wearing masks. Do you see very small children wearing them? We will be on the Seashore in September with my (then) 13 month old. Are you seeing babies that age with masks?
  4. Hi all, We are considering a Caribbean cruise on the Seashore in September. A few questions: Are there any areas of the Yacht club that are off limits to children? Understood if so - I just want to be aware. Is the Baby club currently open for parents to play with kids and/or drop off? Is there anywhere to find ship specific yacht club menus? If not, how much do they vary between ships? Thank you!
  5. Aiming for the Caribbean in September. Not sure on specific ports yet.
  6. Hi all, We are trying to plan a cruise with my husband, mom, and my 12 month old son. My son is not vaccinated (we are). I reviewed Celebrity's website and spent 40 minutes on the phone with them today. Even they are not 100% clear on their own policy, so I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience. It seems that unvaccinated children can only leave the ship on Celebrity shore excursions. What seems to be unclear is the policy for the family traveling with the child. If you have been on Celebrity recently with an unvaccinated child, were you able to leave the ship (leaving your child behind with another family member) and explore on your own? Or were you also required to only go on a Celebrity shore excursion? Thank you!

  8. Hi! Looking at a cruise on the Joy and have a few questions. Typically cruise Celebrity, so not sure of some of the norms. How does specialty dining work if it’s an included perk and the menu is a la carte? Is the only coffee/cafe option Starbucks? I’m thinking in terms of espresso type coffee. Is only the Sundeck in the Haven 16+? Are kids allowed in the courtyard area? Would it be frowned upon to have a 13 month old eating at the Haven restaurant? Is the (parent supervised) open play for babies/toddlers closed? I saw online that it seems it’s not available right now. Just curious if anyone has experienced this in person. Thank you!
