Will shortly be boarding the Ascent - very excited - but is anyone able to confirm if water is still supplied in bottles, and you can help yourself from the fridges in the Retreat lounge? Thanks in advance 😊 

Can anyone confirm if you still receive a complimentary tote bag in your room in Retreat? Just trying to save on packing unnecessary items … thanks!

Thanks for the advice. We too are travelling first so should be able to use the fast track service. Our son and wife however are not, so I’m going to advise them to pre-book the fast track service to get them through! Has anyone use this service at Barcelona?

What would you consider a ‘too earlier’ flight, chemmo? Would a private booked taxi at 8.45am for a flight departing at 11.40am be sufficient do you think?

Another Retreat question .. we will be joining the Ascent out of Civitavecchia in September. Just checked in but had to select an arrival time! Thought Retreat guests could board anytime? Can any Retreat guests recently sailed out of Civitavecchia confirm this? Thanks in advance .. 😊

Loved following your commentary. My husband and I (2x Celebrity cruisers) are doing the exact same cruise with our son and his wife (first time cruisers) at the end of September. Have made many notes from your blog - thank you. One question .. is the seafood extravaganza a lunch thing or evening? 

Buffet looks amazing! Did you say that this was at lunch in the last sea day?

Great information, thanks everyone.

Oops .. crossed thread … thanks txtechmk ..

Thanks for the replies. What about entrees? We’re sailing on an Edge class (Ascent and Beyond) so just trying to get an idea on what to expect! So, can you order from the Blu menu too whilst dining in Luminae?  Thanks!

Hoe someone can help … I understand, that in addition to the daily evening menu in Luminae, there are ‘always available’ choices too? Can anyone confirm what these are? I know one is French Onion Soup, but can anyone onboard confirm the other choices? Thanks in advance 😊

I can see everything on the website but nothing on the app. Only the fact that I have a cruise booked.

Realise this is an old posting, but I am having exactly the same issue as the OP. Have deleted the app, cleared cache etc, but still cannot see my reservations. I, too, seem to be linked to myself! Any updates gratefully received - Celebrity have raised an IT ticket but it’s now two weeks, and I’ve still not heard anything 😐.

Posters to this thread suggest booking a taxi in advance but can anyone suggest a reputable taxi company/driver? We have an 11.30am flight from BCN, the ship docking at 5.00am, so we’re not concerned about getting to the airport, it’s finding a reliable bookable taxi! Any suggestions? 

Yes, all the cruises are there on both website and app! Very peculiar. Anyway, my concierge contact is dealing with it through IT.

👍 I’ll give them a go … 

Any update? Anyone else having this issue? I’m having the same problem. Just booked cruise for September, husband’s app works fine, mine shows the ‘linked’ banner in grey and unable to book anything via the app. Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks for all suggestions. Contacted Celebrity and yes, clubs have to be stored in cabins according to their ‘sorts equipment’ policy. 

Thanks. We’re not planning on playing during the cruise, but having a golfing holiday afterwards - hence storing them because, yes, there is very limited space in the cabins! I’ll try and contact Celebrity and see what they say 😐 Plenty of time to plan - not sailing till next January but I like to be prepared! 😁 

A golfing question …

Has anyone taken sets of golf clubs onboard and then had them stored on the ship rather than in the cabin? Thanks in advance for any replies 😊 

Hi OysterD! We were on the same cruise .. we also have the ‘unwanted gift’! Lots of people coughing/sneezing onboard …. Perhaps time for cruise lines to do spot temperature/health checks? Had a great cruise though … enjoying your photos.

As newbies to the cruising life … can anyone tell me if a private taxi transfer takes you directly to Civitavecchia port terminal, or do they drop you off outside and you have to walk? There’s a lot of information out there but it’s all very conflicting .. hence my query to the people ‘in the know’ and have been there before, so to speak! Thanks in advance for any help/information re: embarkation day at Civitavecchia 😊.

Bit confused! So hoping someone out there can help … As Retreat guests, I understand we can board anytime but having just checked in, the check-in procedure forces us to select an ‘arrival and health check’ time slot. We opted for the earliest but can you just ignore this and proceed to the Retreat line at any time? Any info gratefully received … 

Thanks. I thought it might be something like that … Does anyone know how much time you should allow to disembark, collect luggage etc? As you can see, I’m a bit new to this. The only other Celebrity cruise we have taken was terminated by the start of COVID … back then it was a case of ‘everyone off as fast as you can and get home’ . Not very reflective of what really happens.
