Which ship are you on. I have seen it on every cruise we have been on and just checked Solstice December cruise - Currently on sale

I've had similar experience on b2b testing. They really are only hypothesizing when they say no B2B testing as it usually depends on both the destination country, origin country and if the cases on board go above a certain threshold. On our last B3B they said "we are hoping not to test" but an hour later appointment shows on our door. On the Greenland and Canadian Cruise B2B's that tested positive could remain on the ship. Actually on the Greenland one if you tested positive they allowed you to stay on for the return cruise even if not booked. Albeit you usually would have to move to an inside room as the ship was fully booked except isolation rooms. In all the cases we knew of = the spouse if negative could get a close by room and not have to isolate.

Nice Blog. Thanks for sharing.

I'm another big fan of the Amazon plastic holders. I bought my set about 6 years ago and all are still in good shape. I leave them on my bags (empty) when flying in for cruises so obviously they take a beating but they are all still in good serviceable condition.

Agree with you on the schedule. We were on a Silhouette cruise was scheduled for 25 when got to the port there were signs for both 25 and 18.. Went to 25 first out of hope to find it totally deserted. Mine was the opposite the Shoreside Concierge insisted it was 25.

Really enjoying your posts. Brings back such fond memories.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Things seem to evolving with each cruise and your experience helps all of us set our expectations of what happens if we test positive.

Good way to check is the countries you will visit - Just Google - Country Name and word Covid. You can also select country from the pull down list in the link below. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=covid+casess+uk#colocmid=/m/03rjj&coasync=0

I haven't experienced that myself. My recent cruise last month they had a big banner flag out front of the left hand door that said Suites and Zenith. I'll take a look at the FB page. Would be good to ask others on the Zenith Group as what one person experience may not be the official policy. If not able to confirm call the Zenith desk and ask.

I have upgraded a cabin after final payment by paying the web price. It is true that they offer a bid system but they usually try to maximize revenue and sell cabins before they award them at a lesser price. I recently saw a RS pop up at a price very close to the minimum upgrade bid from a CS so grabbed it. As long as you see a cabin available that is at least $1 more expensive than your existing rate you can either upgrade on line or call your travel planner to have done.

Whenever cruise docs post they are in the Documents also Near the Check In button there will be a link to the luggage tags and you can print directly without you docs.

LOL - I'm wondering if it's in your cache also. I just tried a different browser and still gone.

I'm a big fan of Murano and would always recommend it over Tuscan. My experience has always been that Murano is like 5 star dining and Tuscan in nice but the atmosphere is more like a nice steak hours. A number of dishes in Murano are prepared table side and flambe

I've never seen them board like an airlines and call out - Pre-Boarding for those that need assistance boarding. This is observation only - usually Suits board first - Those that need wheelchair assistance have ship crew assist them and push their chairs to the embarkation with others in their group. Maybe someone who has actually used this service can comment further.

Maybe i still had it cached when I went there earlier today. I thought the OP may have actually cut and pasted --- LOL

Yikes... I just went back to that page and the schedule is missing.

The only terminal with a true lounge is Terminal 25. The other terminals have a small roped off area with seat adjacent to the check in counter. There will be a large Flag directing you to the Suites and Zenith entrance. Just checked and for the remainder of 2022 Reflection is scheduled for Terminal 29

A quick search using Cruise Critic will return many of your questions - Look at boot om page https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/things-to-do-onboard/onboard-packages/internet-and-phone-packages

Looking forward to following along. Your roll call sounds like a really active one and lots of them are here.

A number of things will come into play. First is where are you traveling from and to. Currently U.S. departures do not require any tests pre cruise. Also if you are required to test either before the cruise or as a B2B requirement the tests are Antigen and not PCR. If you are worried I would pull out one of you government provided tests and test yourself. After we tested positive in April we tested daily and finally showed clear at 11 day. 2 months later i had a minor surgical procedure which required a PCR test- I tested negative. As Harris stated above you can also get a Certificate of Recovery. I obtained one after we tested positive to use for our return to the U.S. (at that time testing was required) I also used it to board a cruise 3 months after I first tested positive. All you need is your original proctored test result showing when you tested positive. You can obtain a COR from your doctor or online location. If from a doctor it can not be handwritten and follow the requirements listed on Celebrity's site. I considered it a good insurance policy.

I am the same and respect his decision and professionalism. .

Fantastic ---- It is really nice when that list get shorter and shorter. I have one final not i put on the front door with a post it ---- Passport Backpack All Luggage

I understand that many may not have the opportunity to take longer cruises but I believe you will find that 4 day cruises attract a different type of cruiser than longer cruises. 3 and 4 Day cruises are often referred to as Party Cruises and attract a much younger party crowd than you will normally find on longer cruises on any line. I hope you don't discount Celebrity because your cruise will probably not be representative of the experience you may have on the same ship with the same staff on a longer cruise. Honestly I think you will love the product.

Agree with above. I found that a couple tours I had booked had gone up in price since booking and my current price was lower than the "discounted price". I did however get better prices on about 80% of those I had booked.

I'm taking a similar tour and while I have no idea why they rate it as Strenuous, it may be that in the description it specifically says that the tour is off road and in rough terrain and may not be appropriate for guests with back problems, joint issues, small children and/or pregnant.
