This is how I handle it also. 45 to an hour and then I remove stuff... especially if it's one flip flop or some such nonsense. I never feel guilty and yes I've gotten a few dirty looks or even a small argument which goes no where because chair hogs know they aren't supposed to hog chairs. I think it will get better but it needs to be a combined effort by crew and by passengers. Passengers can't be afraid to offend. The person in the wrong is the chair hog.

I will be following along. Doing this trip next spring in a sunset veranda. I wanted St Kitts but next year’s trips appear to be Grenada.

Was on this same trip. We thought the food in the dining room was very good. Service all around the ship was excellent. Managed to get Murano and Tuscan Grill in and greatly enjoyed those meals. Had no trouble finding spots around the ship to spend time and the Subset Bar was always our after dinner stop. Loved Curaçao and since we just self toured would love to go back. All in all very happy with this cruise. It was our 4th with Celebrity. I do think I like it abit better than HAL as far as ship layouts and general ambiance and passenger mix.

Well one flight cancelled and we are booked on another. Going to be a horrible long day but fingers crossed.

Ugh. We are scheduled to fly to FLL tomorrow night for a Saturday cruise departure. Fingers crossed tomorrow is better.

Oh great idea to leave one in your vehicle! A few years ago we spent 20 minutes hoofing around a parking garage because I forgot where I parked!

Apple Air Tags is my newest addition to the travel "kit."

We have done both. Celebrity for my Panama cruise. I like them both but Celebrity a tiny edge as I prefer the ship layouts better BUT I have not sailed the huge ships on Hal or Celebrity. I would choose based on the ports and time in ports if I had to choose.

No heels on cruises for me. I bring 3 pair of Birkenstock Mayori sandals: silver, gold and black patent leather. They are so slim they take up very little space in the luggage also.

And we are on the ABC cruise right after departing April 14. We just did our first HA cruise this year, but back to Celebrity. Lots of similarities but I just love the Celebrity layouts and the Sunset bar for pre and post dinner LOL.

Agree @FourNinesCasual nights my husband will wear a short sleeve button down or long sleeve button down with his pants, on dressier nights he adds a sport coat. Last year one night after dinner (with a sport coat) a crew member passed us in the hallway and said to my husband "looing good there my man" so I do think the crew appreciates alittle effort these days of jeans and shorts for dinner and after dinner. Pretty funny considering the memories of tuxes and full suits and ties. It has changed the ambiance over the decades, but it does make the travel easier no question about it.
