Cruise Gopher

Sounds good to me! 😁

Here is a thread about this happening on Royal.

This was reported over on the Royal Caribbean board this Summer. I can’t remember what the exact issue was but I will see if I can find it. It wasn’t something that was a big deal in the end and the poster was able to take care of it at check in at the pier.

This Facebook page is sketchy at best. It appears to be a UK based page and does not have the blue check mark indicating it’s a verified account. It probably was created and is ran by some travel agency in the UK.

Someday the cabin doors may just eventually have facial recognition on the door to open it. Think about it, they already use this for so many things onboard the ship. The price will just have to eventually come down to have a camera at each door.

Celebrity no longer offers the option to order real luggage tags that they mail to you. You have to print them out from your eDocs, or have the porter at the pier tag them.

You don’t need any of that.

We are in a PS next month, and I really want two of the robes to take home. Does anyone know if they will sell two new ones? I know on some cruise lines you can buy them.

Wow, this is an amazing new offer!

Travel agent needs to generate a code in a special amex website for travel agents then they call the cruise line to give them a code that was generated by the amex site and then the cruise line adds the OBC to the booking.

The terms state that it’s not combinable with TA Group rates so that is typically the only catch. Also, the agent never talks to anyone at AMEX, it’s just an online AMEX website that you fill in some info. But when you call into the cruise line they will tell you if it’s combinable or not. Like I said, the only one so far I’ve been denied was when it was a TA group rate/booking.

Yes that is correct.

So if you don’t like the location of the cabana can you just switch cards around before the other cabana party shows up? 🙂

Things changed since he said that. It isn’t happening now.

Highly doubt Royal will do this directly.

You do NOT need to book through AMEX Travel. I just applied this to three reservations in the last week. The agent logs into a special AMEX portal, then types in the customer’s Amex card number to have the system validate that it’s a Platinum card. Then you input the cruise reservation details into a from, like the sail date, ship, res # and total cost and then submit and it generates a confirmation number. Then you call a special number at the cruise line and they ask you for the confirmation code and then they add the OBC (and sometimes other perks like bottle of wine) to the reservation. That’s it. It’s super easy for agencies to do but they do have to have their agency registered with the special AMEX website.

How long after the Moderna booster did your DW get Covid? Also, just curious what age range you are? Not that it really matters much, just more curious. Were there certain areas of the ship you tended to hang out more? What was your pre-cruise situation? Did you fly long distances (ex. Overseas, multiple connections)? Did you wear masks on planes and in airports?

Thank you! What time of day did the noise start and what time did it end in the evening? I guess I don’t mind if it’s a bit noisy during the day but not past 10pm.

No idea. I just think it’s more natural to abbreviate Penthouse to PH so that’s why I type it that way.

We are sailing in the PH in November and don’t really want the alcohol setup since we can just grab a drink at a bar if we want to. But we love champagne so I definitely want to swap out our two bottles of liquor for champagne. Will they give us two bottles of Veuve?

Did you have noise issues from above like chairs scraping on the floor?

What?! What is the menu like for the Edge class ships?

Do they have the lemon tarts on Millennium currently?

We gave my parents a Mediterranean cruise last Christmas and we bought some different foods/snacks from Spain, France and Italy to package in a box for each of them, and then at the bottom of the box under the food we put a printed itinerary of the cruise and a fake cruise boarding pass.

Does anyone know if Celebrity has Clase Azul tequila onboard? If so, would it be included in the premium beverage package or would it be an up charge? I’ve never tried it so I’d be curious to try it out if it’s available onboard.
