Reading this makes me glad my Wife and I limit ourselves to 1 bag each…

I have cruised without using the APP, isn’t that still possible?  If so, you have a choice, update your relic of a phone, or do without it as many with newer phones do, like me. I don’t expect Celebrity to offer support for old technology.

So great to hear all positive opinions. I am on the phone now to book AQ. It is only $106 over my balcony price. Something to look forward to.

Thank you all.

Well worth it at that price, IMHO.

On Beyond now. Almost everywhere is too hot for us. Other than creaking and banging in our sky suite, it's pretty much our only complaint. HOT today in Antigua, even hotter yesterday in Barbados. I want to be cool while eating dinner after being outside most of the day.

Agreed…what do some of these folks keep their AC set on? I would be fine with 70 or so..

I know, I know you can’t please everyone.  

You can use your phone/tablet as much or as little as you want..

These are the same people who see a lane merging on the highway and fly up to the front knowing that someone will cave and let them in.  I am of the other type in that you will hit orange cones/barrels for 2+ miles before I let you in.  Unless of course you have your purple traffic royalty sticker issued by the DMV visible in the window.

It’s called zipper merge on the highways, and it works, look it up.

He was being tongue-in-cheek.  The point being that the less people know how good YC is, the less chance that prices will rise along with the increased demand.  

Good to know someone is paying attention. 🙂

My Wife and I both think it is too warm on the ship.  Obviously, we are in the minority.
 

The Casino Bar on Equinox is the only place I have ever found on Celebrity with superior AC. 

Stay away from the YC, I have been 3 times with another booked..it’s not good. 
 

re the smaller ships, I’d be bored stiff at night. I consider anything smaller than Equinox small..actually, that may be my favorite overall ship..

Versus being onboard with a bunch of drunk old people. Cheers. 🍻

I find those very different experiences…YMMV

• Lol, when I saw this post I knew when I saw the headline and the typo people would make fun instead of helping with an answer to the question.
• Nobody is perfect.

It happens, some just having a little fun..

3 points posted, sitting at 297...I want my discounted bag of laundry.  🙂

Why would you with a 2 year old phone ? 
 

 

Why pay $100’s a month just wait until your kids upgrade their phones , got my recycled 128g IPhone 12 from my son yesterday 😁

 

 

Like I said earlier, I don't pay anywhere near $100...unlimited everything, including data.  

And I'm the guy who locks his phone in the safe for the cruise.  🙂

"is it worth it?" is very subjective.  I have had access to Coco Beach Club in the past, I would consider it worth it at that price myself.  That said, this was before the all adults area opened, I would be inclined to check that out.  Hideaway Beach was mentioned above..

This thread reminds me that I need to book a Celebrity Cruise with Coco Cay on the itinerary.  Preferably one that doesn't share the day with an Oasis Class 🙂

Reflection has plastic glasses in the buffet. As far as I know it's normal.

One of the main reasons ships do this is because folks take the glasses out to the pool deck, etc..

Why?  Our phones are older than this and have no problems.  Then again, we don’t use apps for anything. Not everyone wants to pay hundreds of dollars a month for a cell phone. We prefer to spend our money traveling and splurging such as flying first class or Delta One Suites.

Who pays hundreds a month?

Like others have said you can check in on a computer and complete the process at the port..

Oh.  That explains the issue I’ve been having, too.  I have been stuck in a loop between the app saying that I need to update and sending me to the App Store, as you describe.   Then the App Store doesn’t show an update available.   I didn’t notice the header that said  “Requires iOS 17 or later” until you mentioned it.  I hate updating my iOS because it always causes all kinds of unforeseen problems and annoying interface changes.  
 

I imagine a lot of people still have older iPhones like you, and aren’t going to be able to update either.  What a pain.  

I have zero issues with updates..running an iPhone 13 Pro here

I can’t believe this has resurfaced…

Signs everywhere..you can’t miss it.

I started sailing on Celebrity in 2001. Decade after decade Celebrity provided CONSISTENT product and service, I booked 3 cruises each year with confidence. The same great product year after year albeit newer ships came along, but still great service and product.

It was the Confidence of the product to book that kept us booking Celebrity.

At that time Celebrity was the premium cruise line - there was no Oceania etc.

Around 2018, I noticed the RCLing of Celebrity and the downgrading and the destroying of the Celebrity product due to class apartheid as well as today, the loss of access to the sea on the E class (no forward lounge).

My last Celebrity cruise was 2019. We cancelled Celebrity thereafter and moved to the premium lines.

___________________

I am not picking on Celebrity, the loss of consistency is seen in all travel venues and restaurants.

I am so very sad at the decline in cruising, hotels, restaurants etc - it was not always this way.

This turns me, a consumer, off from any vacation bookings. 

No cruises booked at this point.

Everyone be well, be careful of your bookings, Put Yourself First.

 

 

 

 

Yet you still grace us with your input..we are blessed.

I agree completely with this reply.  Simply put... if you're a non-suite passenger on Celebrity, you will probably not be happy as a non-Yacht Club passenger on MSC.

Having sailed both lines, this point is spot on IMHO

They are your kids and you know them best,  Nobody here knows them and can only post about their own kids and experiences.  Given that, how can anybody truly put you mind at ease?  If you are really concerned enough to post here on this topic, then maybe your gut is telling you something about your situation?

Probably the best answer you'll see today.  ^^^^

I wouldn't take kids that age on Celebrity myself.  I know others have perfect kids, etc.. I just don't see it being fair to most kids, especially kids who have only known mega ships with slides, etc...

It got your attention, enough said..once you scroll down, the video is gone from sight.

A BC powder may help your condition…

See what I did there?
