Arizona Wildcat

Rapidtestandtrace.com will use any test. So will Azova, truecare24 and some 20 others. Buying tests from Emed is a little crazy. We have used Rapidtestandtrace.com.

You can buy one day of high speed OR use the WIFI in most ports - if the ship is sitting just right often from your veranda.

Unless they wear a t-shirt with profanity or an objectionable statement printed on the shirt I and my DW could not care.

FWIW there are often discounts available on board. Usually a prize drawing on boarding day with deals offered at the drawing. Discounts vary but mostly $20-50 off in August

Have tried and never found a way to do it until on board. Heard that Celebrity retreat host or Captain's Club have helped others but today phone calls are difficult and the customer service representatives are unable to assist.

Yes. Same on every ship

There are some tables in Oceanview where you can access the table easily on the scooter. Emphasis on some. Make sure you have an accessible cabin as getting past the bed is difficult to impossible in a regular cabin.

Great cabins. No smoking anywhere near them

WhatsApp will definitely not work on the basic surf internet. Internet is indeed spotty and difficult almost everywhere on your cruise to have enough bandwidth to make video calls and sometimes very slow for texting and emails. There is simply not much out there so little satellite coverage.

It was not available recently on Summit. The spirits selection is limited because of huge issues in deliveries. Even our local big box liquor store had lots of holes. If Celebrity did have it - definitely above premium as it is $160 a bottle when it gets back in stock in Arizona locally.

You might get an email for a first night discount. Elite+ gets a small discount - less than the added gratuity. Suggest you check out Captain's Club benefits. They recently changed big time

If you are concerned about OnPoint- I used them in 2021 - then use your test with Rapidtestandtrace.com. Used them in August of this year. Rapidtestandtrace.com uses Microsoft Teams app.. FWIW OnPoint reported doing over 5 million tests. Much like Celebrity, not everyone happy.

Dave - OnPoint and some 50 other travel sites were hacked last week by persons in Eastern Europe. That is it. Of course right now their website is toast. Wait a day or two. They are in business. I just called them at their main office in Seattle. I also would verify the current testing requirements. Mostly country specific for proctored testing. Celebrity made changes again last week.

Yes

You would clear customs in Canada. Simply be at the gate area in transit if things are the same as in 2020. TAP goes from Libson to any number of destinations in North America. They are usually cheaper than many. Again lots will change

Shelly- 19:00 is 7pm using a 24 hour clock.

As said flights are almost guaranteed to change. Amsterdam will likely improve in 6 months, but connections in Heathrow - remember not in the EU so likely customs and at least 2+ hours. My rule is anything but Heathrow. Garrick, Paris, Lisbon or smaller airports and secondary carriers

You get 90 minutes of high speed wifi per person as elite. You can also get a small discount. The cheapest way is to see how many days you can make your Elite minutes last then buy a package for the remaining days if you are not a heavy user. Remember free WI-FI in almost every port.

Going through the hassle now about a few $$ best for later not worth it. I would assume the original appointment is still good and wait a couple days. If I understand correctly you need a negative test but if you are fully vaccinated it can be a self test. Just test and take a photo with a piece of paper with your name and date etc.. I spoke to OnPoint yesterday and they said their website would be up probably Tuesday.

How about your phone? Did you clear your cache. As many have said the Celebrity app has big issues on IPads. I gave up and use my phone for searching then call my TA. Booking on the web is iffy.

Got a chuckle. You already received a 2 day courtesy hold. That booking can be transferred to your TA BEFORE you pay. Just do it before midnight tomorrow Miami time and do make a screen shot or copy of your booking details. Your TA then can accept payment.

You obviously understand that FBC has zero control over flights, cancellations or delays. Jet Blue tickets immediately. Others do not.

If I have a drink package the drinks are worth zero to me.

Absolutely go to the AMEX website as the benefits change and specials are often offered. The card benefits for medical as Babr said are limited and mostly cancellation related. AMEX does not provide comprehensive and adequate medical coverage. You need to check with your current medical insurance provider and a visit to the travel forum to check out travel insurance.

How long is your cruise and where does it go? If 7 days you do not need to test prior to boarding a Celebrity cruise in Italy. No idea where you cruise so ports you visit might require a negative test. I would be getting a certificate of recovery starting on Monday as who knows the future rules. Check out the details for a COR on the Celebrity website. If - to answer your question - a negative test or COR is required and you do not have a COR and are still testing positive you will not be allowed to cruise. My other question is are you doing antigen tests? East and simple to do proctored testing. Less likely to continue to show positive.
