You are assigned a check-in time when you sign in for your Express boarding pass which is available 45 days prior to boarding day.

I am afraid it is true. I'll find out for sure when I board Beyond on Friday. We have an IV, but the storage is no better. I am bringing 2 magnetic hooks.

Thanks. I will see what they can come up with on Beyond. I love the Zacapa Old Fashioned, but now it is priced out of the premium package. I think most of the drinks there are also over $17. But I will see if they can be inventive.

Am I correct to assume the WCB also has various wines? I remember when WCB's were new, they served only the menu drinks. Apparently, they now have some limited drinks, wine and beer.

Chengkep I always appreciate your insight into the workings of ships and crew. Thanks for the info.

Above is correct. Flights have to be after a certain time and I remember it was 11:30 on our last FLL departure.

Can you find out if Caleb Crawford, who does the "Beyond the Podium", will be on next cruise, please? We board April 27. His presentations look very interesting to me.

Can you recommend a quiet spot for a before dinner drink for those of us not in the Retreat? Looks like there are few indoor bars on this ship. I am hoping Eden bar is a good choice for 5-ish drinks. Looks like the Craft Social is way too small for this big ship. We are not into the Martini Bar at all. Besides, it is always crowded and noisy.

As far as noise from the OVC above Sky Suites, the closer to the entrance area forward of the Sky Suite, the quieter the cabin. The further back you go, the more under the tiled OVC areas and nearer the galley entrance into the OVC where the carts really rattle. We have stayed as far back as 2124 and had no issues. You can barely hear a cart occasionally.

Is the Bistro open for lunch on boarding day? Since we have the Elite Plus 15% discount, we may decide to eat there and avoid the buffet madness on the first day.

Is this area only used for lunch? Is there a bar? Hours? It's so large I assume there must be some other functions.

OBC from the card is refundable. Either take it out in cash last day or Celebrity will credit it back to the card.

There was at one time a captain on RCI who traveled with his pet parrot. I have seen it.

French Caribbean, coconut rum, mango mix, raspberry liquour. Not too sweet and it's pretty.

What dry rose is available in the premium package, please? A few months ago I read that Whispering Angel was covered. Recently I have read it is now priced out of the package. I know there is another one or two brands, but can't think of the names. One has "Oliver" in the title?
