I'm curious about whether past cruisers on Ascent (or other Edge class ships) have a favorite MDR and why? TIA

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but here it is. Years ago, Cruise Critic had an app which they stopped supporting and it no longer worked. I uninstalled that app. A few years back, I saw a post or a note on Cruise Critic that there was a new app and it would work to quickly take you Cruise Critic to see any new posts etc. I somehow installed that on my phone (android Samsung) and shared it to my old Samsung tablet. I use it daily and it works. I purchased a new Samsung tablet, and I went to the Play Store to share the app with my new tablet. The Cruise Critic app doesn't show in the available app list although it is in my app tray and currently is working on both my phone and old tablet. I also tried synching apps across all three devices but it still didn't work or show up. Does anyone know where to get the Cruise Critic App?

We just did a cruise from Cape Liberty to Greenland and Iceland last month on Eclipse. We crossed the Arctic Circle, and everyone on board was given a certificate indicating the crossing.

We cruised in August on Eclipse. Prior to that cruise we did quite a bit of research, including calling Celebrity, looking on the Celebrity website and asking on Cruise Critic and also on several different social media sites. We got varying answers. We finally decided to take a case of water (24 16 oz. bottles) wrapped in the shrink wrap from the store. We reinforced it with duct tape so it wouldn't rip and attached a luggage tag to the top. We figured the worst that would happen is we'd have to leave some behind at the port. When we arrived at the port, we gave the case of water along with our luggage to the porters. The case of water arrived at our cabin along with our luggage. No one said a word or objected in any way.

Not required. But on several occasions they didn't award the pointsvand having the screenshot provided the proof needed to have them correct their error.

No...unless you forget a screenshot.

We got our PUP emails today...24 hours after watching the video lol.

This is the first one I've not received. I usually get the email within a few hours of the first notice onthis thread and DH usually receives his at the same time. This time neither of us has received it yet. We did register and watch thanks to this thread and have taken the requisite screenshot for proof. The last PUP before this one took 4 phone calls, production of screenshot and 2extra months for points to be reflected in our accounts. After our cruise at the beginning of August! It took many phone calls to get our CaptainsClub ponts credited! A conversation with 2 supervisors and they finally fixed the problem yesterday. Apparently there were new Captains Club numbers that were created and attached to our names! I'm now wondering if those phantom numbers also created a problem with getting our PUP email.

They consistently had crew stationed at entrances of OVC with sanitizer urging passengers to use sanitizer in addition to the sanitizer station. GO PHILLIES!!

I should clarify my post #10 above. I used my Dyson hairdryer at the desk and plugged it into the US outlet. The bathroom outlets on the S-class ships (Solstice, Eclipse, Equinox, Silhouette and Reflection) are only for low voltage items like electric shavers. I had no issues using it there on any X ship.

I just got off of Eclipse on 8/16 and used mine every day on high with either medium of high heat level without any issue.

Not to mention the ubiquitous chair hogs.😅

No wait..I'm not interested...period.

It's not the ship. When we got home to PA I found at least a dozen different friends and family not on vacation in PA and NJ with it. It's rampant now all over.

I think the LHB was confused about the X customer when she instituted these 3 and 4 night sailings and seeing the low bookings is now doing some damage control.

Fly or drive to Ft. Lauderdale for a 3 or 4 night cruise to the Caribbean during the height of hurricane season. Sign me up...NOT!!!

Again, as I posted above, we took a case of water still shrink wrapped from the store (24 bottles) to the port with a luggage tag attached to the top. We gave it to the porters before entering the terminal and it was delivered to our cabin.

We just disembarked from Eclipse on 8/16. We brought a case of water (24 bottles) which was shrink wrapped from the store. We put a luggage tag on the case when we arrived at the port (Cape Liberty) and gave it to the porter along with our luggage. It was delivered to our cabin and no one raised an eyebrow or questioned anything.

No apologies necessary! 😀

We were on the same cruise. We did the same as you did regarding Covid precautions but I came down with Covid the day we left the ship. When I hot home lots of people at home have Covid. It's on the rise again in PA /NJ. Luckily not too sick. We've had all the shots and boosters and will get the new one. All you can go is wash hands, wear mask in crowds and hope for the best.

I disembarked from Eclipse on August 4th. We had a fabulous time. The crew was wonderful and I could not say enough good things about them. The food was good (of course it is subjective) in the MDR and the food in the OVC had plentiful offerings for breakfast/lunch. (We never dined there in the evenings so can't say anything about dinner), The ship definitely shows wear since we last sailed on her in 2018 and she does need a refurb, but she is still a wonderful ship and I'd not worry at all. I'd sail on her again in a heartbeat if the itinerary was one I like...before or after the refurb. Our verandah cabin was missing it's drapes (sheers) which was annoying, but didn't impact our enjoyment of the cruise. They removed all but the blackout drapes from the cabins. I'm sure that will be rectified with the refurb. Rest easy, Eclipse still has great bones and is a wonderful ship. The crew was fantastic. Thinking hard I could not come up with a single negative about anyone we interacted with for 12 days.

O! Stay Safe! Send prayers and hopes for a good steady rain!

Celebrity is more laid back, the ships are certainly smaller than the Oasis since the largest accommodate around 3,000 passengers give or take. There will be generally less children onboard. The entertainment on X doesn't require reservations and will not have any broadway shows, but will have cast production shows in addition to guest entertainers. There are some differences in the perks applications between the two lines. We prefer the service on X ships, however with the post-Covid changes the differences have narrowed. Both are enjoyable. You won't find water slides, wave pools, etc. on any X ships. The biggest difference for me is the casino is no smoking as are all indoor areas of all the ships. Because of a severe sensitivity to smoke, the casinos on most other cruise lines are a no-go for me. In fact, I have to go up or down a deck to avoid even walking through them.
