  1. Call Captain's Club or email the executive office. Simply state the facts briefly and clearly. Ship, date of cruise, dates of confinement, booking number. Executive office has always has a rep call me back within a couple days. There're at least three other threads on exactly this same issue with contact details FYI
  2. If you bring wine on board and it is found in your luggage you will need to go to the "naughty room" to get your luggage. They will KEEP the wine until the end of your cruise unless you are lucky. Always in your carryon.
  3. Far easier to use your tests from home. There are a couple Canadian companies doing proctoring (doesn't matter US or Canada for anyone) and OnPoint and Rapidtestandtrace.com are two companies doing 24/7 proctoring with a US address. Both are under $20US
  4. You absolutely need to do it on a phone because about 10 days ago the app was updated. If you submit with an old version it will be rejected. Again if flying to Canada submit a couple days before your flight. Then after you are in Canada open the app and check you are on a cruise ship. All the personal data is saved. You only need to click on marine travel and enter the ports. The newest version updated entry ports for cruises. Purplesmurf. ArriveCAN takes about 10 minutes on a phone if you have your Covid card and passport to set up. The setup includes NOTHING about your cruise. Your son will need it on his phone. Same for your niece. Just click on traveller at the bottom to enter the photos and info. Then enter cruise ship ports and dates just before you board. This is not rocket science.
  5. Today you actually won't know until you are on board. Lots of supply issues so you would have a choice within a price range of what is available on your cruise. Absolutely agree with you. I would not purchase the package today. Just my opinion.
  6. I'm happy for you. Doesn't change the fact they are on the banned item list for you to bring on board. That was the question - can I bring what in effect is a hot pot on board?
  7. The date appeared a week or 2 before checkin began. You now know it is approximately 45 days before sail date. Do you still need more information? If so what?
  8. Not available in any of the three stores I was in today in Tucson. Lots of Kahlua but only small bottles and 1.75l. Things are in short supply.
  9. Prices for specialty went up a few weeks ago. You can call and ask or try on app but think leaving it probably best if a call doesn't work.
  10. They will make anything you like. As said simply with well brands instead of call. The well liquor is not store garbage.
  11. Great for browsing menus. With having WIFI I have been usually successful at sending text messages to friends on board. The issue is neither of us want to carry our phone around on board. On shore there is WiFi and a good 4G signal almost everywhere in Iceland and great phone service in St John's and Halifax will WiFi at the port terminals.
  12. Do you think that will happen anytime soon. Lol. I always use a TA that ties into group space thus always refundable and extra OBC.
  13. ArriveCAN has NOTHING to do with Celebrity or the Celebrity app. It is required by the Government of Canada. The app is a free download best completed on a smartphone. Your adult son and niece do not have covid cards or passports? Can they take a selfie? If all of you do not complete ArriveCAN you will not be allowed to board
  14. Multiple threads on this it is taking about 3 weeks. They are doing those with sail dates nearest today. Relax. If it doesn't come through simply bring everything to the pier. With cruising numbers doubling since April, Celebrity is losing the battle to approve these in a week or less
  15. Your son and niece will probably need their own. Why would they not know the information about the cruise? It only asks when does your cruise depart and where. Also where it ports in Canada - St Johns NFLD. If they simply show up without ArriveCAN completed and a negative covid test they will not be allowed to board.
  16. The passengers tend to be a bit older. Far less children. Buffet at Celebrity is excellent. Only thing we like better on Royal was Diamond lounge. The deal breaker for us is anything near the casino reeked of cigarettes. Not just in the casino.
  17. See you cruise Royal. Nothing like the Diamond lounge on Celebrity. On the retreat as said for suites.
  18. There are kettles on cruises from Southampton. Supposedly otherwise not allowed according to the list of items not allowed. They certainly are not allowed in a Veranda cabin. Your butler might have quietly gotten you one being in a suite
  19. Calling does not help. You need to provide evidence of the cruise. Anything from a paid credit card billing or something from your cruise will get it taken care of. Email or snail mail the request and documentation to X.
  20. If you use Rapidtestandtrace.com download Microsoft Teams. Similar to Zoom. The other reason for a smartphone is most recent devices will let you print directly from your phone to a printer. If you are lost on this ask a grandchild.
  21. First - there was an update to ArriveCAN last week or so. Be sure to update. You can fill in everything except your travel dates immediately. Go to "travellers" at the bottom and do your personal info, a selfie, covid card picture and passport details -NOW. Completing on a smartphone is easier because your phone will automatically format the pictures. If you have more than 2 covid cards, don't bother with boosters. That data is saved. That way you do not need to worry about ArriveCAN You cannot add trip/port details until 3 days before you embarkation on your cruise. You submit at the same time.
  22. Domestic fine. International cutting it close if the current chaos with flight changes and delays does not improve. The more time you have the more likely you can handle changes and that your baggage will arrive with you.
  23. We have spent a week in St Petersburg. Wasn't enough. The Hermitage is the .ost magnificent museum in the World with 8 locations all over St Petersburg. The canals, churches and palaces of the Tsars could not all be seen in a month. And, friendly people too. Will miss it. On the flip side, lots to see in Moscow but a different feeling of unease. Was never so glad to leave a place.
  24. You did not say how you booked. If directly with Celebrity use it or lose it. If with a TA OBC from them is often shown as OBCR on your statement and refundable. On about day 2 - most OBC from TAs does not get credited until after you board - go to customer relations as ask for a printout. If you are unsure ask them to explain.
  25. There was a notice that cruise only fares would be available in categories up to concierge. I looked at a couple cruises in late 2023 and found both options on verandas. Who knows what Celebritg will do?
