To me "truly vulgar" would be X-rated and not R-rated.

Ah, got it. Thanks!

12am for the departure port. So if it's a FL-based then midnight Eastern. If in Alaska, midnight their time. If in Europe, midnight their time. I have no issues using an app so I've never tried it any other way.

Just curious about how you "barely went on" a cruise. Did you almost not make it? Or was it a 3-night? I've just never heard that phrase in relation to a cruise.

Simple review of Celebrity from our recent cruise.

Please don't. Ship septic systems are not capable of handling the plush tissue most people use at home. You're just going to cause blockages and issues for many more people than just you. -
Zero Proof or pay by the drink... kids 9 and 14
WrittenOnYourHeart replied to helpmenew2crusing's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I’m confused. You flat out said “If you do, why do they need one? Have an occasional mocktail.” If that isn’t advocating for people to not get their kids packages and use their alcoholic package to get the kids drinks, what was your intent? -
Unless you're Orthodox. Then it's May 5. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday.

And this is why they have requirements for people in the same stateroom to have the same package. People cheating the system and getting drinks for others. -
I've always seen that they request luggage to be out by 10 or 10:30. Plenty of time to finish dinner and toss your dinner clothes in. Plus they continue sweeping the halls until 1 or 2 to grab late luggage. So no. No shorts on the last night unless you want to eat in the buffet. (I've never been stopped going into the theater wearing shorts.)

Yeah, I imagine that would make a difference. No partial charters on mine.

52 here and I love the E-Class. I did love the Summit...though a lot of that was being in Aqua (and Blu). My next cruise is Beyond this summer. I've currently got Feb 2026 on Silhouette, but I may well change that to either Beyond or Apex.

And not music, but Little House on the Prairie is 50!!!!

Is Celebrity trying to imitate HAL
WrittenOnYourHeart replied to Ipeeinthepools's topic in Celebrity Cruises
That'll be interesting considering there are songs with that title and it's just a common phrase... -
I'll just say one big advantage to the train vs. driving... There is ONE road between Anchorage and Seward, and if there is a bad accident - which can happen - everything on the road stops. My second AK cruise was on Royal and was the southbound. The group I was with split between the train and the bus (I opted for the bus so I can't comment on the train). The train people got on a lot later than expected. We then learned from them that the road had been shut down due to an accident involving 1 or 2 helicopter extractions. They stopped the train and got as many people on the busses already on the road on as they could while holding all the other busses. The captain went ahead and held muster drill for those of us on board, and then once the road opened and things started moving again, everyone on those busses was directed to the theater for their muster (they were all back to back at that time, so it's not like the first was waiting forever). But (this from a couple who had opted for a private car and only made it because their driver managed to get in between the next to last and the last bus) as soon as the last bus entered the lot, the gates were closed. Anyone behind that last bus had to find their way to the next port or just deal with a cancelled by no-show cruise. So using either the train or a bus is definitely worth it in knowing you'll get on the ship in the event there is another bad wreck.

AquaClass vs Sweet Sixteen on Summit

Celebrity's actual deceit on Move Up - bid for upgrade
WrittenOnYourHeart replied to george_sf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Except, of course, from the people who "are only loyal to Celebrity, never cruised any other line, etc." and are never picked for the free upgrade and want to know why. BINGO! This is the philosophy I use with all my bookings - cruise, airline, Walt Disney World. That last one especially - the number of people who book one category and then try to figure out how to request a higher category without the room assigner catches on...or how to get upgraded at check-in (even to the point at the monorail resorts of using their kids by training them to go up to Mommy or Daddy at the check in counter and say they are so excited to see the castle and can they see it from their room knowing full well that they booked a standard view but hoping the cast member at check in will move them into a Theme Park View room to make the kid happy). -

Ah. Not having the : in it (or using military time) made me think it was some kind of code next to the food somewhere. Thanks. -

Maybe I missed it, but what are the numbers next to the food names in your dinner reports? -
I was on the Summit in Aqua in July and LOVED it!!!! Serkan was my maitre'd, my servers were Nuralita (primary) and Nila (assistant), and the hostess was Mariana and they were all WONDERFUL!!!! If you bump into them, please tell them Beth from last summer says hello! I rarely get so attached to my serving team that I cry on the last morning, but I did this time. I really fell in love with the Summit and am sad she's not out of NYC again this summer!!
