Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks for your response. I just read information comparing RCCL/Celebrity from a passenger that was on Celebrity a few months ago. "Unlike Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises provides a percentage discount on Wi-Fi packages; sadly, high-speed internet is more expensive at $35 each day. As Elite members, we received a 30% discount on our Internet package, which I purchased on the first day. "
  2. I'm curious as to whether I should purchase the "sale price" also. I am Diamond Plus on RCCL and get two free days of internet, which I'm assuming Celebrity also recognizes. I've heard that if you purchase ahead of time that you don't get those free days. Some have said that you purchase it and then go to Customer Service and HOPE they can help you. Perhaps if you get a sale then you don't get the free days. Does anyone know?
  3. I always take them from just below the shoulders and up. I really don't know why they want this since they ALWAYS retake my photo when boarding.
  4. Thank you so much for your response, yes my experiences have been on Royal. This was exactly what I needed to know. I appreciate your response.
  5. Not familiar with the term "Native" calls. As I've said...I could dial out (as I do at home) and receive calls (as I do at home). The employee just told me you can make phone calls....whether they are native or wifi....I don't know. I only know that I did make/receive calls on the BASIC package....three times at no cost on my phone bill!
  6. I had NEVER made phone calls at sea until about two years ago when an RCCL employee was helping me set up my Wifi. She mentioned that I could now make calls!!! I questioned her and said that I wasn't interested in paying to make phone calls, I only wanted the basic internet package. She assured me that phone calls were included. I asked for her name in case I got home and had charges which I did not. (This was on a Bermuda sailing). On my next cruises, I verified again that I could make calls with the basic package and was told "yes"! Again, no charges on my AT&T bill. Was is WiFi calling???? I have no clue, don't know much about WiFi calling or how you do it. All I was told was that I could call as normal, which I did (as well as received calls) a number of times daily.
  7. I always purchase the basic Internet package on my RCCL cruises. With this purchase I can make phone calls at no charge. Does the same work on Celebrity? If I purchase the basic package, can I make phone calls also? Appreciate your help.
  8. No, that isn't an issue. We've had connecting rooms many times and never had a problems. But....thanks for the "heads up". I'll take some earplugs, just in case!
  9. Okay, I'm a bit confused. I am booked on my second Celebrity cruise, the first one being right after the shut down. I'm Diamond Plus on Royal so that equates to Elite on Celebrity. On our last cruise, we were able to have coffee, sweets, etc., at Cafe al Bacio at no charge.....at any time of the day. It sounds as if you are charged now as an Elite guest. Is that correct? We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and even if we have to pay, we will continue to enjoy it. Just curious and would appreciate any comments.
  10. Glad to hear that it’s a good stateroom. Did you have any issues with noise from the cafe above it? I’ve read that it could be a problem. We’re at the very back of the cafe so hopefully all will be okay. Appreciate your comment.
  11. We are also on the 10th sailing. I don’t think the priority embarkation will apply to us since we were given only a couple of times we could board ship, starting at 1pm. Can’t wait, it’s right around the corner.
  12. I believe it was on Cruise Critic. It was the first of this year or end of 2022. Since I’m showing Elite status on my Xpress Pass, I’m assuming they still are recognizing the same status.
  13. I just booked a last minute cruise on Equinox. We ended up with a guarantee balcony and was surprised that almost immediately our room number showed up on our Xpress Pass. We were assigned room 2144 on deck 12 and it appears that this is is a Concierge Class Stateroom. I have two questions….what exactly is the Concierge Class/how does it differ from a regular balcony stateroom and is Celebrity still recognizing RCCL Loyalty Status? I’m showing Elite status but was told they are no longer matching status. Would appreciate any help.
  14. We board Saturday for an 8 night cruise. One question.....how was Windjammer? It has been rather bad on some ships lately. We're thinking of not eating in the MDR for a change.
  15. 40+ cruises and I believe my favorite ship is Freedom of the Seas. I like the size, the Viking Crown Lounge, the venues, etc. Just a nice size ship. Also have enjoyed the Vision Class. So, I would say: Freedom, Vision, Serenade, Mariner, Explorer. Oasis class is always nice but just a bit too large for me.
