Email works best for us.  I really wanted the web site to work but I gave up.  have never gotten the OBC in 2 days.  It's usually much longer than that.

Was this recently? I booked yesterday and could not book on line and today I called and was told that they only sell to US cruisers. Thanks

No, it was not recently.  We booked this cruise (Silhouette Oct 20, 2022) on Apr 9, 2021 and dealt with a Celebrity vacation planner who recommended the coverage.  Everything is changing and we Canadians are being treated like third world countries.  Nothing to do with your question but I lost my Macy's card because I'm a Canadian and they said it was a gov't regulation now.  The way these people are shutting stores because of a lack of business, you'd think they would welcome Canadians who pay their bills promptly.  Thanks for letting me rant.

I hope you get coverage that pleases you.

What's with the numbering of the posts lately? Two #1's right after one another.............

No lunch in the MDR for B2Bers?

So glad you are enjoying your cruise.  We look forward to your impressions of beautiful Hawaii.  So sorry your halibut was drowning in tomato sauce which wouldn't have pleased me either.

We got an email this AM saying ours are ready for the Oct 20 TA.  i checked and yes, they are there all 23 pages of them.

We booked through Celebrity and added their vacation protection plan.

Yes, most of us have known for a while.  We did get notification but even if we hadn't, like you, we would have found out by participating in the roll call.

I think it's time they made Blu for AQ people only.

Skagway is a lovely little town.  Thank you for taking me back there today.  Did you find a quilting project for your Mom?

If you have time when you return to Vancouver and you go to Granville Island Market, there's a quilting store near there called The Cloth Shop that you might enjoy looking through. Also you'd be paying in CDN dollars!  The currency is dropping so fast these days, we're expecting to hear a big thump!

It's not just on E class.  This is offered on our upcoming Silhouette TA as "Inside Access----Behind the Scenes tour"  It is $139.99 as you said, Jelaine, but hey, we're lucky to be offered 10% off....$124.99.  We've seen most of the tour for free in our various sailings. 

I would definitely get them to refund the charge since it was not evident there was a charge.

Celebrity only sends the invitations to preferred cruisers.

Yes, I guess they've dropped me..........

See post “5398

Thank you Alakegirl and barbette who posted the original #5398.  I had tried #5394 and 5396 and couldn't get a working link.

We are happy that Bermuda was dropped on the Silhouette TA also.  I think they are trying to get back some income from the past 2 years (you can't blame them) but to ask people to pay $40 application fee when they were not planning on getting off the ship was a bit greedy in my mind.  The testing required two days before disembarking in Bermuda was a bit much also, considering we all have to be tested before boarding in Southampton.  A nightmare for Celebrity. 

In the past we have loved our stops in Bermuda but Lisbon will be a nice change this time.

Could someone please post the link for this new webinar.  I did not get the email although I have gotten them in the past.  I HATE it when Celebrity does half a job and doesn't send the email to all.

You wear headphones while boogieing on the dance floor. It's only "silent" if you take 'em off but it's a fun concept

 

Another time it is not silent is when some moron specifies the place for the dance right above your cabin and it starts at 11PM right when you'd like to sleep.  Sounds like a herd of elephants on speed, above you.  No possibility of sleeping.  We complained to GR but what could they do when it was already in progress?

You lucky diners having Gambas al Ajillo.  I wish we were still on Quest.

I got my point too.  They also fixed my account page so I can again access it.  Thank you Celebrity.

Blu is not open for lunch any day.

We used to go to the Spa cafe on embarkation day, but I'm not sure if this has continued.  I'll see in 5 weeks.

Is there any way this fan could fit in your carry on luggage so you could take it out and show it to the person checking the bags to assure them it's just a fan?  That would save your checked luggage from going to the naughty room.

This is a cruise we would love to do.  We had it booked on Silhouette in 2021 but it got cancelled.  Glad you got great weather.  i enjoyed your review.

Your review is great and your English is superb.   I will enjoy following along.  So sorry for the smoke.  We had the worst air quality in the whole world yesterday.

We always like to get a window table in Blu so we line up before the doors open!  I think there are only 5 or 6 and they go fast.  Like Abbydancer, I also recommend Made.  He was our waiter on the 2020 South America cruise and when we cruised to Hawaii earlier this year on the first Eclipse cruise since the shutdown, he recognized us.  He does a great job.  His section was at the banquette, (back of the room) but he may have changed, if he's still on board.

We were in Oslo last month and loved our Norwegian cruise.

So glad we were on the July 25 Norway intensive if the new prices are eye watering!  I was disappointed by the exclusion of Flam and Geirainger, both of which were on the cancelled Celebrity Silhouette Aug 2021.  We paid over $1100 USD for the 2 tours to those places.  Didn't think the Flam excursion was worth it but Geirainer was lovely.

I think it is a good decision to give Celebrity another chance.  I would try another ship, even if you have to fly to the embarking port.  We always enjoy Blu.

I agree with telling those who are looking for a lounge chair that they have been unoccupied for hours and to go ask the pool attendant to remove their things.

I do like PTC DAWG's solution though🤣.

vancouver to Honolulu is very easy for us but I would still recommend the Panama Canal transit.  East to west will give you a few 25 hour days.
