We live nearby and absolutely love the area. My son lives in Tampa and it is not an easy trek from there to PC, so I don’t recommend going there. We are actually on the transatlantic sailing into PC on 12/3. There are some great restaurants nearby and I agree with recommendations to stay in CB. 

Hi, all.  We were on Beyond for the Christmas sailing and didn't experience any issues with noise (and were very worried about it, based upon what we read).  We were in 9140.

You will not feel out of place. I always dress up for chic nights. There are others who so as well. Enjoy!

Great tour from https://www.facebook.com/CABToursAndTransfers/

Hurricane/storm season lasts until the end of November in Florida. In the last few years, it really gone all the way until the end of November. Good luck!

This brings up that anyone Quarantined to a Stateroom during the worst of Covid must have gone buggy watching the few shows on TV?

 

Was recently on the Summit and my friend got COVID during the cruise. Celebrity was great and among other things, they gave her free access to on demand movies. 

Just sailed this itinerary on Summit in September. Second time for a Canada/NE Cruise (on Holland 10 years ago). Beautiful itinerary. Loved QC and PEI. Bar Harbor is always a treat and this time we did a boat tour of the lighthouses there. Beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery. 

Could also see a Columbus weekend sale

It’s just your imagination. 

All 10 of my Celebrity cruises, including the recent ones, have been incredible from activities director sitting down with me to plan a family scavenger hunt to medical crew tending to my husband and later Captain coming to our cabin to check on him, and so many more. 

Thank you for expressing what many of us have thought…how tedious this constant complaining is about cookies and other ridiculous things. We went on a Celebrity cruise last January after reading boards filled complaints. We had a great cruise and expect to have the same for our upcoming cruises. For those who are so unhappy, cancel your cruises and go elsewhere to that perfect cruise you are seeking. Good luck!

Would love to see more NA Beers and NA liquors!

Thanks for the tip! We just booked with Sea Cow. Any tips on getting to their site? Best to take a taxi?

Just found out it ends on 8:7

Anyone know how long the sale lasts?

Our December cruise on Beyond has the sale

We are on this cruise (12/22-1/2) and booked a private journey through Celebrity. Super excited!

Hi, everyone. Am I missing something here? I thought the question was if you like IV, why not let’s shoot everyone down who likes it. How about less debate and more from those who like them. Thanks!

Ok…I will jump in ….

We had a cruise booked for departure 4/24. Equinox.. in a Celebrity Suite. 

When I began to read all the posts, I became concerned. I read what JetBlue had to say with sincere sympathy.  Even though we have been vaccinated and boosted, and had COVID in January, we became concerned. 
We agreed that, if one of us tested positive, even a false positive,  we could not deal with the consequences. After all, this is an expensive cruise and we expect to enjoy it. 
We contacted our travel agent, who was very understanding. We have dealt  with 6 canceled cruises. Unfortunately, He is not making money on us. He contacted Celebrity and they assured him that we would get a balcony cabin, if available. These last words convinced us to cancel. 
Why should we spend money with even a slight chance that we might be separated and be isolated in a small cabin and eating out of take out containers. No suite, no. shows, no dining, no sightseeing, no pool. Nothing but an isolated cabin. 
We will resume cruising when we read that the cruise lines treat Covid as they would if a person has a cold or the flu. Stay in the cabin you pay for. This illness is usually mild and there’s no reason for the draconian methods cruise ships are doing to vaccinated passengers. 
Just my opinion!
 

We recently cruised in February and are due to do a N. Europe cruise at the end of May. I appreciate individual decisions to cancel or postpone, but I would note that not every case of COVID, even among those who are vaccinated and boosted are like a cold or the flu. A group from our church took an afternoon paddle boat cruise last week and 12 caught COVID. Of that, 1/3 are very sick, even though they were fully vaccinated. I feel very positive about the steps that Celebrity has made to be as safe as possible. Of course I don’t want to spend time in quarantine, but I know that this is a risk that I have chosen to take. 

We sail on May 30, but arrive on the 28th. I was thinking of making an appointment at the airport as I hear some say that finding a test can be challenging in UK. I will be interested in what you all experience. Alternatively, we could order the binax ones through celebrity and bring them with us, I guess. 

We were on the 2/7 and thought the entertainment was fantastic. We had a completely different set, except for crew shows. Ours were the Boy Band Experience, Buddy holly Tribute show, Whitney Houston tribute show, acrobats/aerialist, Violinist and Magician.  Have always thought this is one of Celebrity’s strengths.

That's what we're going to do. Talked to them again yesterday and they said (almost unbelievably).."we had a few in but won't be getting anymore"  😳  I mean...how crazy is this for an assisted living facility?  It gets better...they just hired a new LPN back in August but she already left. So I wound up talking to a new "medical director" - see how long she lasts. The place is nice enough - small and usually very quiet - and my Mom has been there now for 5 years, but something just doesn't work since, employee-wise, it's like a revolving door. I can't keep up with the staff changes. At this point would hate to move her somewhere else since she has very significant memory issues and gets disoriented enough as is without making major changes to her routine and location. Even crazier is that the families were not even notified that they won't be getting boosters. It was taken over by a large outfit a few years ago and that's when things started to slip downhill in  many ways. Prior to that it was just a small independently run facility and things were better. I must say, though, that they've done amazingly well throughout the entire pandemic. 

My Mom lives on the Independent side of a dual independent/assisted living facility and they have done a great job of getting vaccinations and boosters. They have been among the first to get them at the facility. They test everyone each week. My only complaint is that they don’t require masks for residents anymore. But otherwise they have done really well!  Good luck with your Mom and keep up the pressure.

What is the app name

 

Found it!

Same agent said it was uncertain if there is a Captain’s night/dressy night—it is up to the Captain. Any info on this?
