  1. Try this. Once logged in click on "Plan My Cruise". Scroll down until you see "Dining", and click on "View All Dining". Scroll down and click on "Celebrity Select Dining Anytime". Next page click on "Reserve". From there you will see the 4 MDRs. Click on the MDR and select your day and time. Repeat that process for each MDR. Disclaimer, I have never done this but I believe that would be the process.
  2. All our Celebrity cruises (our preferred cruise line) have been low numbers of kids no matter the itinerary. One kid being the lowest and that kid was under 5. But since this thread isn't a serious thread and more inline with wishful thinking it's just that. 🙃 We are RDINKs. 🤣
  3. Adult only cruises should be March and April, for the Caribbean and for New England/Canada, Pacific Coastal and Alaska cruises, September and October.
  4. Have you checked out the E class cabin sticky in this forum? I guess it's just me, but I'm floored how many times this subject is brought up on CC (and there's nothing wrong with that) after booking. I always check out the deck plans to see what public areas may be above and below our cabin of interest before selecting and booking. Exactly why we always pick our cabin and never do guarantees or move ups. IMO, noise is subjective. Everyone's tolerance to noise is different.
  5. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 😉 I also shower in the fitness center/spa change rooms on the M&S class ships.
  6. That's what the spa people want you to believe. Just off the Edge (September) and took two of my three daily showers in the spa change room. Walked by the desk/waiting area each time and nothing was said except, hello. Second afternoon of our 18 March 2023 Apex cruise I walked in to the spa entrance where the desk is in the waiting area and I was walking down the hallway to the men’s shower/change room and just before entering I heard a female voice, “sir, where are you going”? I replied to take a shower.” I entered the change room. She opened the door behind me (crossed the line there) and said, “you need to leave”. I got undressed and took my shower. That same evening when we returned to our stateroom for the night there was a mid-cruise comment card. So I filled it out describing my rude spa employee encounter. I turned the comment card in at GS after breakfast the next morning. Within 30 minutes of returning to our room the phone rang. It was GS and asked if I’d be willing to speak with the Spa Manager. I said yes and GS connected me to the Spa Manager. The Spa Manager wanted more details of my experience if any and a description of the employee. I gave her both requests. She then assured me the change rooms are for all Apex guests to use and not just spa guests. I used the change/shower room twice a day (7:30 AM and 3:30 PM) and I was the only one in there at those times. She also told me she would brief her staff accordingly. She also offered me free spa time but I declined. Not a spa person. Then we got off the ship for the day. When we returned to our room there was a message on our phone from the HD following up and he echoed what the spa manager told me and to call him if need to. I didn’t as the issue was resolved politely and quickly. We also had a plate of chocolate covered strawberries and a note signed by the HD and spa manger in our stateroom. I plan on using the spa shower/change room on our September Edge cruise. The spa contractor and their employees don’t maintain the shower/change rooms. All cleaning, restocking of towels, lotion, shower caps, soap, shampoo, conditioner and even putting robes in each locker is done by a Celebrity employee.
  7. On our recent Edge cruise the reserved seats in the theater in our opinion weren't in a location we would have sat in. We don't cruise in suites but if we did, based on what we saw we wouldn't have sat in that location.
  8. Same here. Something for nothing, why not. I don't watch the webinars. I just sign in, walk away and return later. 😁 So far for 2024 there has only been 4 PUP activities.
  9. No kidding. Just posting what is currently showing on their website instead of posting a WAG. Some will hold their breath if Churchills is still a cigar lounge. 🙃
  10. According to the Princess website for ships and deck plans Churchills Cigar Lounge is still showing (deck 6 foreword) for the Caribbean Princess.
  11. Also for doing survey questions about Celebrity, their ships, itineraries, etc.. Called Power Up Points (PUPs). 30 PUPs = 3 Captain Club Points.
  12. You can use the fitness center/spa showers. This is fleetwide at no charge.
  13. Voice your concerns/complaints to executiveoffice@celebrity.com.
  14. When you first board the ship go to the MDR that has a staff member at the podium. Make your request for time, the MDR and table you prefer. They may accommodate your requests. This has been our experiences on the E class ships and we have always been accommodated. No problem.
  15. Can't argue with their policy but I find the policy strange. No matter where we are or go vaping is always prohibited in any inside establishment, just like all tabaco products.
  16. I'm walker. I know what you mean on Celebrity's M & S class ships. But still better than being inside with the smoke. On Celebrity's E class ships the smoking area (starboard side) is away from the track and close to the Sunset Bar. IMO, the E class walking/jogging/running tracks are the best on any cruise line ships I've been on. I don't walk Celebrity's Promenade decks. The Enchanted has a good one. Away from the smokers.
  17. Not the individual(s), a staff member. Way above my paygrade to confront another guest on any issue. I've always seen staff members roaming around and especially manning the pool towel carts. Until you ask, you don't know if a staff member would have done anything or not. Hopefully you mention it on your PCS (?).
