Was on the 9/17 sailing and I tested positive on the 22nd. Got the prorated refund a few days ago. Will be on the Reflection in December with the Blue Chip Club free offer and we will wear our masks on the ship except when eating. It was not an experience I care to repeat. We did not wear our masks on the ship and did not see many masks on our sailing and after managing to stay safe for 2 years always knew there was a chance of testing positive.

We were on the 9/17 9 day sailing and went to medical on the 22nd and tested positive. My wife wanted me to stay in our cabin and not move to deck 3. I agree that Celebrity could not have been nicer regarding the food and giving us the premium wi-fi and assigning a concierge who kept checking on us. At the end of the cruise they provided transportation to the hotel to pick up our car and we drove home. If I had to do it again we would have worn our masks everywhere except when eating. Except for the crew almost none of the passengers had on masks. Don't know if I caught it traveling down to Florida or on the ship. Makes me wonder how many people on the sailing got sick and I'm sure it's nothing they would advertise.

Any idea how many people tested positive? We were on the 9/17 9 day sailing and I tested positive on the 22nd. We managed to stay safe for 2 years but knew there was always a chance to catch it. WE would have worn our masks at all times except when eating had we known but saw almost nobody except the crew with masks on.

Found a policy for $131.00 with medical of 250K and evacuation of $500k. These are 2 of the most important coverages.

I usually get the insurance from either insure My Trip or Squaremouth. Some of the premiums are more than the cruise cost but others are actually half of the cost. Will have to review the coverage limits and make a decision on which to take.

Got an unexpected free cruise on Reflection thru blue chip club so am trying to read as much as possible about the ship to enhance the experience. Have been on Equinox 4 times and Solstice once and loved both ships. Would expect Reflection to be just as great.

Looking for high medical and evacuation because you never know what may happen. Since cost of cruise is so low not to worried about recouping that. In the past I have taken travel insurance that was not much cheaper than the cost of this cruise. It does not pay to skimp on coverage.

Just booked a free cruise thru the blue chip club. Price is less than $300.00 for a week. I always take travel insurance thru one of travel insurance websites because the various coverages such as medical or evacuation have high limits. Even thought the cruise cost is so low I dont want to skimp on having good coverage limits. Just wondering how the Celebrity travel insurance worked out for anyone having to use it.

Just wondering how many people have gotten the free blue chip club cruise for the Florida sailings?

Thanks again to all who responded. The reason that i was trying to get so much detailed info is that we received a Blue Chip Club offer for a free cruise and apparently even those cabins with the angled balconies on the deck plans are included. Just booked one of the cabins that were indicated to have the 3X balcony for less than $300.00 total price. Seems kind of crazy but the deal was to good to pass up.

So that should mean that 8230 and 8226, 8257 and 8253 would be the ones that balcony is 3x. Am I correct?

I am getting confused. One of the previous responses says 1st and 3rd from widest part of hump have the 3x balcony but another response list the cabin numbers of the 2nd and fourth of the 4 cabins on each side of ship. Can someone please clarify.

Thanks for the responses. Trying to decide between 1A on decks 7, 8 or 9. So the same angle rooms on any of the 3 will have the extra large 3X balcony?

Trying to determine the difference between cat 1A and 1B. Cant really tell from deck plan. Also some of the 1A cabins as example on deck 8 the balconys are on an angle see 8224, 26, 28 30,51,53,55 and 57. Are these bigger or higher premium? Greatly appreciate any information to help making a choice.

Our confirmation from Celebrity is dated 14 AUG 2022 and total charges for Taxes, fees and port expenses is $316.56. It also indicates that deposit of $500.00 is due by 18 JAN 2023. This is probably just standard wording. Also says that final payment is due by 18 JAN 2023. Much rather have the Blue Chip offer leaving from Florida. Just wonder if I had not taken the Calif offer would I have gotten the one from Florida.

Did not get to finish my last post but it posted. Cost of airfare and additional expenses may not make it such a great deal. Would love to get the new FL. offer as we usually leave from there and hope it may still come.

We got the Mexican offer and booked but payment not due yet. We live in S.C and not sure if we will go since cost to fly to CA

Looks like we can either stay in the hotel room until they need to come in and clean or we can wait in the lobby. When we get to the hotel I need to find out what times the shuttle heads to the port. 1:30-2:00 will be the latest we have ever gotten to the port. I remember when all the times we arrived to early but at least they let you in to sit around until they started boarding.

Got my checkin time as 1:30-2:00. I remember when you just had to get to the port and not worry about an assigned time. Will they at least let you in the building if you arrive early? We are staying at a hotel with a park and cruise package and a shuttle to the port. Most likely have to check out of room by 11:00 and that is alot of time to kill until checkin.

Have not cruised in 2 years so checkin process is now very different. Trying to checkin on my computer and it's looking for a photo. Not sure how to get this done. Is it absolutely necessary to do this now or can this be done at the port? Also not sure about the biometric data for boarding and photography. We have our passports and thought these photos would suffice. Looks like we have to maybe go to CVS to get photos. Can you checkin on the Celebrity app and is it any easier to do it that way? Greatly appreciate all help and information to try and get through this process.

Will be on the Equinox for 9 nights in mid September, so looks like no more pre boarding test is required. Just want to make sure I am reading it right.

We also received the offer for only the balcony with no additional perks and was surprised at any offer since our last cruise was on the Equinox in 2019. Have only sailed out of N.Y. and FL. ports and these cruises leave from Calif. We live in South Carolina and not sure if depending on the airfare if it's that good a deal.

Does anyone know what is included under promotion code LOCAL LUXURYNRD. Thanks.
