  1. FBC is a consolidator. They put people into groups- thus the lower fares that are often available. There is a tradeoff for those fares in that you often cannot easily change them and they are not ticketed sometimes until final payment. With all the flight issues and multiple people having issues I wonder why people continue to fly this way. Airlines are in chaos today. The changes are not the fault of FBC. Just be sure you understand the terms 100% before you book. Good luck to the OP.
  2. Was different in March as ships were about 1/2 full. Every cruise is different and with the price match policy gone for cruises booked lately few cabins for MoveUp seem likely. But you never know. The upgrade faity used to visit every few cruises.
  3. Depending on the ship exactly the same or very similar physical cabin. You get extra afternoon canapés that we personally asked not to be delivered. The biggie is extra Captain's Club points if near the next tier. Best to go to the Celebrity website and exactly what is offered is listed there.
  4. Celebrity encourages refilling water bottles. Are you telling me I cannot bring a plastic bottle on board and refill it at one of the refilling stations?
  5. And the cruises don't go to any of the 50 something countries including Canada that currently require testing.
  6. Celebrity Air is a consolidator. There are dozens of threads about this. One of the reasons they can offer cheaper fares is they block out groups of seats. Sometimes you are not ticketed until after final payment. Some airlines allow you to select your seat immediately others including Air Canada not until final payment. If you are picky about your seat ABCelebrity might not work well for you.
  7. I would suggest you check the ports Forum for the ports where you are looking for excursions. Tours by Locals almost always requires you to exit the secure port area. This distance varies with shuttles often provided to either town or to the port entrance. Shore excursions are in a constant state of change today with additions and deletions. There are always cancellations on shore excursions. Get on a waiting list.
  8. Again await the rest of the details. AON is able to sell without restrictions in some 12 states. 37 more have various regulations imposed by the states. Residents of other countries have again very different rules. It is very complicated and would require a licensed insurance agent to determine eligibility (almost all are eligible). What likely happened is AON got the details and rejected same. Seems Celebrity should through their resolutions department provide an explanation and the opportunity to cancel at not cost. To the OP - Welcome to CC as a new poster. Let us know what happens.
  9. A couple thoughts. We have always had laundry that was picked up before 9am returned the following day. Sometimes the same day. Last my DW thinks she does have laundry service - ME. Only takes a few minutes to wash in the sink (jeans in shower), wring out by hand then roll up in a towel to get most water out and then hang in shower or closet. Jeans take 36 hours. The rest next day. Her service then includes folding and putting away hangers.
  10. Correct - no Global Entry. We arrived on a TA twice. Walked off both times when allowed just before 7:45 to 8am. First time cleared customs at 8:30. The 2nd time was a Sunday and they were short staffed. Barely made a 1pm flight. Your choice. The question is what happens if you miss your flight? That only you can answer.
  11. Or check a similar cruise now. Same itinerary will most likely have same Chic night adjusted only for sea says.
  12. Assuming your question is real. Any Walgreens or CVS along with about 50 proctoring services, any urgent or emergency room if you tell them you have symptoms.
  13. Pretty much laundries are being phased out. HAL used to have them on all ships. No new laundries. Having 2 more cabins makes more revenue. Bring your own clothesline or pay Celebrity
  14. There are a total of 4 docking spaces. One has always been used for freight and a second ferries. The "harbor" within a mile is massive but then you lose one of the docking slots unless they can sort it with Alaska Ferries.
  15. Last time Europe sold mouthwash, shampoo, sunblock etc or you both get a 1qt baggies with 3.4oz bottles (100ml). We wear our walking shoes and bring a pair of dressy sandals. Haven't worn dress shoes in years.
  16. On the Celebrity website. Under alcohol policy.
  17. Rich - I hope you now understand. If you do not have a beverage package there is a corkage fee. This CHANGED about a month ago. With almost everyone having AI it has little effect today. With cruise only fares it will effect those.
  18. You can check you both in. Just need the info for both/all.
  19. Suggest you read the new policy. It recently changed. The change is under FAQ before your cruise under alcohol policy. Corkage fee if no beverage package. Doesn't matter where you drink.
  20. That would have me on the outside deck leaning over the rail losing my gin kale smoothie
  21. Thank you for a good laugh. If I call Susan she either doesn't hear it ring or doesn't have it with her. On board - carry my phone around all day? Really? Why? Seems setting up a place and time to meet always worked. However you could clip an Apple tag on Iain's belt and locate him that way.
  22. Rich - there are all sorts of insurance and different companies handle things differently. Overseas mine asks for a notification if hospitalized. They then reviewed our $$ responsibility and had an outside firm get it touch with the hospital and my wife asking about necessary arrangements. We told then what we wanted and they put it in place. Easy and prompt service and this is a Medicare Advantage PPO. And yes there was a large deductible before their coverage kicked in.
