There are several shuttle services as well as Celebrity will do a transfer. On Saturday an hour or less unless there is an accident. If you are truly traffic adverse fly into Long Beach. Only a few miles from San Pedro harbor instead of 17 miles from LAX. Lots of hotels in Long Beach and near the cruiseport. No worries really. To answer 39August, San Pedro Harbor is where all cruises depart. San Pedro is part of the city of Los Angeles.

I used my phone. Lots easier than a computer. Simply take the pics first then choose them to upload. As others said - checkin on the app is ONE attempt for me then move on. No stress to checkin at the pier.

Contact Celebrity. The policies in the past would reimburse for days in quarantine. Do not think that has changed. Seems nothing is automatic today.

If you are on a Sail Away rate - no perks - you must prepay gratuities to get select dining. If on a AI rate the gratuities are already included

Things are a bit confused here. You do need a negative test to BOARD a cruise ship that ports in Canada.

Easiest way is to cut a piece of paper to fit and write your cabin number with a sharpie. Not worth stressing overedocs or luggage tags. As said before we give the website one try for printing edocs. Then use booking copy along with ID, credit card (must be same card as used for any document info given to Celebrity) and passport. No stress and hassle-free

Understand. I would be using my phone or tablet and possibly WIFI when in port. Port calls almost every day.

You already know. Close contact warrants being pulled aside and questioned further. Nothing different from our being randomly chosen for secondary testing entering Canada by car.

Just wondering why would you bother to print and cut out luggage tags? The porters at the dock will tag you bags with real luggage tags. No extra cost. In either case suggest taping your room number to the side of your bags. Duck tape works great. Lots of paper tags get torn off.

Not sure why it would be complicated. We received OBC from Celwbrity and more from ours being a group booking. They are both OBC that is non refundable. Have never seen - but certainly possible - TA OBCR appear before the first business day following boarding.

What does your paperwork show? Hopefully you printed it out. Otherwise seems cancel and rebook easiest.

In 5 arrivals. 4 times no customs or immigration- ZERO. The other time a very line line as they examined things carefully. Seemed looking for something. There were four shuttle busses each time we in Civitavecchia. No wait longer than 15 minutes. Walking through the port was not allowed and would be a long walk anyway.

😁 says it all

How would they do that? Most are from outside the US. Flights expensive and full because of the holiday weekend.

Wine shelves in Portland stocked well for local wines. Lots of items out of stock for imported wine/liquor and small US distillers.

Soft serve has never been available on Summit 24/7. The machines were always closed late evening for cleaning and available again fairly early each morning.

If Barbados allows individuals to do shore excursions on their own AND Celebrity rules allow it - yes. Certainly be sure to let Celebrity know your plans. I expect you will not really know until you speak to staff after you board as rules change.

Today the answer is only very occasionally and historically $100.

Celebrity is in the same situation as the CPA firm that does my taxes. They had almost 1/3 of their staff either quit or retire and have been dealing with an endless series of sick employees. Thus I hope to have my taxes filed this fall. You certainly are aware of the similar situation at Celebrity and whilst they have hired new employees; they lack training and knowledge. My question would be why you have apparently not either written or at least called Celebrity since it has been weeks since your email? Maybe a registered demand letter?

Why would you use an eMed test instead of one of the free tests available to all Americans and Canadians? Test positive and call Celebrity. You are now their problem. Absolutely no need for a proctored test to do that. If a proctored test is required not hard to use WI-FI in ports a day or two before the end of a cruise. The certificate is emailed to you. Complaining about the rules? Sort of like Don Quixote isn't it? And it is not just the CDC, but rather many countries including Bermuda, Canada and EU members.

Correct. There real issue is Customs and Immigration. Have had it go smoothly almost always with little or no waiting. Had an issue with Customs being short staffed and it took 3 HOURS to clear the port. You never know

We and others disagree. Would rather be on Infinity. The "revolutionized " ship is not an improvement in my opinion either.

You certainly have a medical reason to cancell and maybe 2 of them. Hope you get involved with the decision whether to cancel. I hate doctors and last time I was told to go to the ER waited only 2 days. Ended up with a really awful infection and was off my foot for 4 weeks. If you cancel and booked with Celebrity Air you likely will get a combo of refunds and FCCs. If the positive covid test is within 14 days a refund. See the rules about positive tests within 14 days. If things are iffy with the kidney stone under 48 hours before your cruise your options become pretty much limited to the insurance policy. Best of thoughts on whatever you decide

We love the M class ships. Elevators fore, aft, center. I would ask what the "revolutionized" ship has that is better. Answer is not many changes except the retreat and cosmetics in the cabins. The joke is most is stuff like new carpet that was done anyway along with turning the library into cabins. Is that a plus?

Jim - Canada does require testing is arriving by cruise ship. Also to be fully vaccinated and complete the ArriveCAN app. The app was free and simple (am in Canada now). We needed to complete the Canada app a second time after a quick round trip to the US and back to Canada. 2nd time only needed to update time and crossing point. You don't need to test if arriving by ferry or in private vehicle or boat unless randomly selected. I was the first time. No problem taking a proctored/telemetry test if you have good wifi or phone service.
