  1. Totally agree. People have become thoughtless. We always seem to have a cabin next to a door slammer. We have put notes on their door. Love when an elevator is full and when it stops, more people try to jam in. Can they not wait for the next one? Thanks for starting this thread WestLakeGirl.
  2. So are you done with Celebrity?
  3. I'm so sorry the cruise of your lives turned out badly. Nice to know the Dr on the ship diagnosed you correctly but it would have been nice if they had followed up and made sure you were being looked after. I hope you stay well now and that the insurance company comes through for you.
  4. Yes, we ordered some things from it on our Oct 20 TA
  5. On Silhouette a week ago, we went with friends who are not Elite + to Sushi on 5. We elected to have one bill and split it. We received 15% on the total. Our first night, we had booked LCG on the 30% off first night offer. We did not receive any other discount and didn't really expect one.
  6. Thank you Orator for your thoughts. I'm sorry we didn't meet in Blu. The food was great at dinner as it usually is but I can't say the same for breakfast. We decided to give them another try on this cruise. First day, breakfast was cold. Four days later we went back and we were served by a trainee so we didn't expect stellar service. DH ordered French toast, bacon and eggs. He received French toast ONLY. We sat waiting for the rest which never came. Finally flagged someone and they brought us the rest. French toast long gone by this time. We told the Maitre'D to make it mandatory that waiters come back and ask how the breakfast/dinner is. This would alleviate the problem we had. We never went back to Blu for the rest of our breakfasts. Yes, we too enjoyed Jayne. I don't know how she can hop so fast around the stage and not run out of breath. I wish them well in their new venture in Florida. We found mistakes, like scheduling two things for the same time in the same place. Does no one proofread the Daily? Our room was never done by the time we returned to it even when away for 3 or more hours. I think the room steward started with the same cabins all the time, leaving ours till near the end but she did do a good job. We thought the Captain should have given some indication of cases of COVID on board. We will be giving Celebrity a rest for the next few years.
  7. Have a good time cruisestitch. We just disembarked Nov 3. I watched you sail today. Were you one of the lucky people on the helipad? We sailed out of Lisbon on the helipad and it was great.
  8. I hope for the best for everyone. Looks like we just got out of there in time after our TA.
  9. Silhouette, self serve on TA Oct 20 - Nov 3/22. Crew masks to come off for following cruise starting Nov 3
  10. The TA we deal with does not give OBC. Instead he gives a discount directly off the cruise price which is often lower than most agencies. Sometimes, depending on the cruise it is $1000.
  11. Blu is why we book AQ class. I can't imagine paying extra and then eating in the MDR. As has been said AQ is all inclusive. Why not eat there some of the time and then ask the Maitre'D to accommodate you in the MDR for some meals. Whatever you do, I hope you have a great cruise.
  12. i guess we don't have to worry because Celebrity cancelled Bermuda for our cruise next week.
  13. Grab it. We have been in all of these cabins except 1133. They are all fabulous. 1140 has the biggest balcony.
  14. Niagara Falls is beautiful. I hope you have a great day there. What a great idea to break up your very long trip back to Norway. BTW, we have never tried Poutine! We are leaving for Gatwick on Monday (Silhouette cruise, Southampton to Miami) and I just can't get to the packing. Do you hate packing as much as I do?
  15. It's USD on Celebrity. We pay with US Amex.
  16. We are on a Celebrity TA in 12 days with vaccinations mandatory as well as a negative proctored test 1-2 days before boarding. Transatlantics are treated differently.
  17. We never received confirmation by email. OBC just turned up on my account.
  18. I always used t get the email but no more. Thank you to the poster who posted the link.
  19. in Concierge class you are invited to eat in the dining room on embarkation day. I believe you get a bottle of sparkling wine in your cabin and you also get crudites each day. Hope you enjoy Celebrity.
  20. Hope your wife's ankle is mending and that she is not damaging it further by walking on it. I feel very sorry for you having this to deal with when you should be enjoying beautiful Hawaii.
  21. So glad to hear this. We booked with these people in July and a week before we sailed, Azamara dropped the requirement. We are now set to use them again. You can't beat $25 CDN for 2. i was just a little worried about how long it took to get the confirmation.
  22. OP, thank you for taking the time to post that you made it through when you must have so many things to tend to. Hope all goes well for you now.
  23. If you walk off the ship as early as you can, as others have said, and you have Global Entry or Nexus, I think you could make it. I take it a later flight is more expensive? International flights usually require 3 hours ahead for security etc, another gift of COVID.
