  1. I've been on 4 cruises this year and all of the Apple product was all pre-pandemic models including watches. On Silhouette for the European voyage they sold out all inventory of Apple products because Europeans could buy vat free (20-21%) and the found the price acceptable. I spoke to a representative from the franchise that runs the ICafe (it's not Apple but an agent) and he said until Celebrity totally sells off their old inventory they will not be replenishing. I assumed he knew what he was talking about but who knows.
  2. Usually the cruise will show immediately upon booking. It won't show much on the app re menus etc until closer to cruising. If it doesn't show (which has happened often) choose Link missing cruise from either browser or App. On the App it is at bottom under all your reservations
  3. I've tested positive and lots are testing positive both before or during a cruise. There's a post today from someone that tested today pre-cruise.
  4. Not required to be printed. Safest is to take a screen shot. If you really want a copy most front desks will print for you or have a business center people use to print boarding passes all the time.
  5. You can take the test any time after mid-night 2 days prior to your cruise. Testing is available 24 hours a day 7 days a a week including holidays.
  6. I would have to agree with what you are seeing. I normally find the Refundable to cost in the range of 1%. If far out I often book using refundable deposit and as I get closer I change to non-refundable when I get a price match. My thoughts are that it costs of the RF is more than the deposit I don't take the refundable option.
  7. @Cruisegoer Wonder if you checked your cruise today. The three cruises for August suddenly all reappeared this morning and I believe you July 30 is back with at least a SS available.
  8. You can test any time after Midnight. I did a test today 2:21 PM PDT and it reports UTC (previously called GMT or Zulu, it doesn't take into consideration the time zone you are in.
  9. When I go in using the Manage Reservation like you it shows one as pending but the other two as pending and can't modified or cancelled. If I go in using the link from the original confirmation I can modify or cancel all of them .
  10. We also handled our directly even though booked with an agent. I had a bad experience with my agent and she stiffed me on my last 2 cruises for the promised OBC's. These were the last two cruises I had booked with her and knew I couldn't expect anything from her. Engagement Center worked well with us and finally got the last part of our reimbursement after about 45 days. The longest to be refunded was the next cruise that was cancelled.
  11. Each sailing is treated as a separate cruise so like them closing out your account on cruise one we also give additional gratuities on the last night of each cruise. It can sometimes be important as sometime room attendants and servers are shifted around at the end of a cruise or go home. On our last cruise two days before the end of our first cruise our stateroom attendant tested positive. We chose not to tip the second one as he had only taken care of us for one day. Luckily in the middle of the next cruise I bumped into him on a different floor. I made a special trip back up to the room to get his gratuity. He was one of the 10+ attendants and probably more attentive than our butler.
  12. The OP was bidding on a SS and and most are on 9. The CS referred to is on 9 also, not on Penthouse Deck where Penthouse and RS's are.
  13. Near the end they break down what's under Classic. May be about a year old so could be a bit higher but at the end they show the labels that are included and you can pretty much order any cocktail made with the label
  14. Not us. We are spending a week in Amsterdam between the TA and the British Isle cruise. Iain's sister will be joining us from Scotland. I've been shopping for some AirBnB's for our 7 night stay and really found some nice ones.
  15. Definitely just leave it. All Celebrity requires is you have the full series of the initial shots. They have no requirements currently re boosters.
  16. I was looking forward to getting a day on the beach between Nova Scotia and Greenland. LOL Celebrity is so good with messaging. Earlier we got an email reminding us to get a Bermuda Travel Pass.
  17. On the M-Class Ships there are only 2 CS's on Deck 9. The majority of the suites and all of the Upper Suites are on deck 6.
  18. If you don't have a really early flight you could do your test anytime just after mid-night which may help you sleep better knowing your negative.
  19. Celebrity OBC for price adjustments have always shown up within a day or when the agent confirmed. If your agent had a group booking and giving you an Agent OBC then it won't show up until the cruise.
  20. Interesting to read. I'm wondering if it is just another screwed up attempt at messaging. To my knowledge the "Safe passage Home by private air lift" policy was eliminated about a year ago when they were cleared for isolation on the ship. You an only imagine how expensive this was but was necessary when cruising resumed. We all know how good they are at proofing and messaging. Yesterday we got notification of needing a Bermuda Travel Pass for our cruise to Iceland and Greenland. Also our cruise planner showed us going to Bermuda hmmmm..
  21. I would give either Celebrity or your agent a call and get a verified answer. I just chatted with a contact I had verifying that a Certificate of Recovery could be used on a B2B. On July 5th the changed the requirements and now allow either a failed Antigen or PCR test and a COR issued 11 days after verified test failure.
  22. O'Doules, Heineken Zero and sometimes St Paulie Girl.
  23. Saw that yesterday. It's not just that Cruise. We are on a B3B and the 8/7, 8/19 and 8/31 all flipped to not available. The day before on the 8/31 there were at least 4 SS still open and had been open for weeks. Maybe they sold them off to a consolidator instead of having to give price matches. They did that on a Silhouette cruise I was on - went from 65% capacity to fully booked overnight.
  24. Good luck - Fingers crossed for you. I believe if they have expired that cancel and modified button goes gray.
  25. Curious if this on a mobile device. I filled it out last week using my PC and was able to just input the Birth date manually but would pop up a calendar after mm dd yy. Also unless you also go further down and add travel partner they keep sending you the e-mail Last cruise I never filled it out and was no problem at all - After all they already have it uploaded during checkin. Why would they even ask.
