As an aside, we too, are going on an Alaskan cruise on the Edge. It leaves the 24th out of Seattle. one idea is to find and join your roll call for the specific cruise you are on. It’s a good way to “pre-meet” some people. Often times there are meet ups once onboard. and by the way, welcome to the board! 😊

In looking at (ok, downright studying it) the deck plan in preparation for our upcoming cruise, I noticed there is a second baccio located near the ocean view cafe. It says they have specialty coffees as well. Do they have the same menu of options as the main one on I think deck 4?

Congratulations! Sounds like two amazing itineraries. We booked a year in advance for our first cruise and will be leaving later this month. The only thing I didn’t expect was how many changes Celebrity made over the year we have been waiting. I would definitely save a copy of your details for reference. enjoy your anticipation and planning, and your cruises! 😊

I plan to use the digital pass from the app but printed a copy to have in my documents folder as a backup. I also keep our travel insurance, parking details, etc. in there, just in case.

If you have a drink package, does it already have the tips figured in as well?

Wow, the edge sure is having its time in the spotlight. I sure hope the passenger is OK. Does this mean a missed port or ? How do they handle it when they need to turn back for an emergency?

We also, are scheduled to be on the Edge later this month in Alaska. I’m wondering how this is going to affect our glacier viewing experience. I suspect they will be extra cautious after this.

We had originally purchased the trio as well but then found out that you can’t book specific restaurants until you are on board and the restaurants we wanted were almost completely booked several weeks before our sail date. (Eden and the Steakhouse). We opted to return the trio and book the last available dinner in the planner at the steakhouse for an 8pm seating. We will try to get the time changed when we board but I’m not holding my breath.

Thanks for clarifying.

Wow. Hard pass for us. We weren’t able to sign up for the steak one because of timing but we’re considering the pizza one. For that price it should include a meal. No way we will now. Thanks for the heads up.

I hope not. We have a 10:30 boarding time, I’d hate to have to wait a long time seeing as they assigned the time to us. I also hope it’s not crowded with a bunch of people not willing to board at their assigned time. Does it really make that much of a difference if you board at 10:30 vs 12:30? It’s just a few hours. It does make a difference for us as I’ve got dietary restrictions and am hoping to be able to eat lunch on board and will need time to talk to the restaurant etc. if I’m understanding correctly most people hit the buffet after they board and that is open longer hours.

I thought I remembered reading it was 2 devices for us in our sky suite, but now all mention of how many devices has been removed from the description. We did buy this a year ago and they’ve made a lot of changes to what sky suite guests get in that time.

We are in a sky suite. We bought our cruise a year ago though and a lot has changed in that time.

I am checking through our reservations and noticed that the details about our booking have disappeared from our TA website. I’ve called them and they’ve emailed me a confirmation that included a list of what comes in our booking in the retreat, however, I think it used to say “2 devices” in regards to the Wi-Fi and now it doesn’t specify. When I look at the cruise planner, to buy premium Wi-Fi it says one device. When I read through the retreat info on Celebrities website, it also, does not specify. does anyone know the details around the included Wi-Fi in the retreat?

Same here. It hadn’t occurred to me to use OBC to buy electronics but it’s a good idea.
