Hi, do you have a link for the web site you are using to see the Cruise Schedule? Thanks. 

 

For Halifax specifically: https://portcontrol.portofhalifax.ca/

You need to click on the hamburger menu on the top left, then "Public", then "Cruise", to bring up the results:

More generically, https://cruisedig.com/ports has good port schedule information.

Our ship will be tendering in Halifax as well. From what I can find:

The 2024 cruise season will kick off our new tender operations in August, where the Port of Halifax will welcome passengers via tender boats to Pier 24. This will be indicated on the Cruise Schedule with “P24 TND 1” or “P24 TND 3” (the TND # indicates anchorage position).

In our case, we are scheduled for Anchorage #1. Here's an anchorage map for the harbor:

This map shows where Berth 24 is:

Looks like Berth 24 is just south of the two cruise ship docks (not terribly far). About 0.4mi from the "end" of the boardwalk:

Pixel 7, about 6 seconds 

Along these lines... Looking at my travel summary for boarding times, does this seem like both a late time to start boarding, and a rather short window? I'm assuming boarding will ACTUALLY start around 11:00am per usual?

We were in R205 - other side and a couple rooms forward:

View Down:

View Aft:

Hope this helps!

We enjoyed it. The balcony is enormous, though somewhat cave-like if that's a concern (not for us). Excellent view aft, reasonable view forward. No noise or other issues. Close to the forward elevators. I wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

If you do not like the tunnel effect from a deep balcony, you will want to stay away from the balconies on the slanted sides of the mid-ship hump.  Although it is not shown that way on the deck plan, those balconies are known for being very deep.

 

We were in 1075 on Reflection in January:

Was on Reflection January 8 - Buffet dinner offerings were pretty pathetic: pizza, one small service station with mashed potatoes, one vegetable (cauliflower every night except one) and one protein (roasted chicken 5/7 nights). SOMETIMES a salad bar. 

Just off Millennium March 4 - Buffet offerings GREATLY IMPROVED. Consolidated to just the aft-section, yes, but many more options: pizza station, pasta station, stir fry station, salad station, Indian selections, themed section, and grill-to-order options every night. Quite good actually.

Are you a casino guest, BCC member with Onyx or higher status or a suite guest? In that case it's waived.

No to all. Just a regular passenger with "Classic" Captains Club status.

In November on the Infinity, there was no transaction made at the slot machine itself.  We went to the cage, asked for whatever amount, and they gave a voucher for the amount (or multiple vouchers). They look identical to the vouchers that the machines spit out. Put multiple slips into one machine, got a single voucher from that machine (didn't like the $ options and wanted to play a little bit) , went to a different machine, played, got a voucher from it, and cashed in. 

Did exactly this on the Reflection two weeks ago. No fee charged at the cage.

We're on Reflection next week. Looking forward to your review and comments! Have a great trip!

We're sailing Reflection in January. Very much looking forward to following along. Have a great trip!

How do you find your sailing terminal?  We're on Equinox in 3 weeks...most likely 29? 

Here's Equinox:

Where are you getting this info? Is there a website?

Port Everglades Schedule:

https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webx/#

You can run a custom query (button at top right). Here's an export of all Reflection arrivals/departures as far into the future as is currently available (Jan 29)

Just adding my recent experience on this. I submitted the request via the online form this past Tuesday (10/4). I just received an updated invoice showing the OBC on my account this afternoon (Friday, 10/7). 3-day turnaround from the web form is reasonable in my opinion.

I have the EXACT same question as you - it would be awesome to get to Classic 'pre-cruise'!  Hopefully me quoting this will bump it up to someone who might know.  

100% Yes. I have yet to take my first Celebrity cruise, and solely via the PUP program, I am Classic with 64 points.

It wasn't last week. Was there on the Sky on Jan 9.

Did the Emerald make its' scheduled stop today (12/31) at Grand Turk ?

According to Marinetraffic, yes. Emerald is there now.

We're on this sailing as well, and also interested.

Recent reports on the 7-night sailings have been in the 1300-1400 range. Sky is finishing a 10-night tomorrow, which is followed by an 11-night, both over holidays, so they might not be representative of the 7-night Jan 8 sailing...

Maybe someone on the Dec 28-Jan 8 can ask about the passenger load for the following week?

Again, depending on the airline - this should be very straightforward and likely does not even require a phone call. My experiences with Delta - this is very easy and can be done through the website:

There's a simple "Modify Flight" button, where you can select an alternate flight/routing.

Check your airline's rules, but on Delta for example, if the flight schedule changes by more than one hour (in either direction), you can select a different flight at no cost.

How many days prior to the cruise were you able to get your boarding assignment?

I was able to select a boarding time at 37 days out
