Looks like we won't be cruising with Carnival. No escargot. 😇

When you select your check in time (on the app or on your computer) prior to your sail date that is not your boarding time. Boarding times are not a set time. The deck your stateroom is on is not part of the boarding process. If the ship isn't cleared for what ever reason that will delay when you can board. If there is a delay and once boarding starts all those doing a B2B cruise and suites will be the first to board. I didn't think the spa would be open on embarkation day (?). Especially before sail away.

I wonder if Carnival does door dash and what the service fee would be?

Yes there is.

Same with our March Apex cruise and we had the AI package.

That's not true. All the menus @Stockjock has posted show appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and desserts.

Lets us know how that works out for you. 🤣

Thanks. When I booked our ground transportation that's what I used as the port of embarkation.

I don't believe the tradition has been eliminated. We were offered a glass of sparkling wine when passing by Cafe Al Bacio on our March 2023 Apex cruise. Others have posted in other threads they had the same experiences on the different class ships in the fleet. We aren't sparkling wine fans but always like the tradition of the glass handed to us when we first board the ship. We toast each other and drink it. We'll see if the sparkling wine is offered on our October Eclipse cruise on embarkation day.

Bummer. We did in 2009 on the Explorer.

I am, walking the track.

No. You'll have to wait. Now you will have something new to look forward to on the next cruise.

Tell her this isn't normal. If I were you, I'd find time to speak with someone higher than who you have been dealing with about this Cluster... All of our Celebrity cruises and with other cruise lines we have never experienced this kind of crap you two are experiencing.! I hope you are very vocal about this on your PCS.

Just want some ensurancs Does Celebrity use the San Pedro cruise terminal. I want to make arrangements and want to make sure I'm using the correct port for embarkation. Celebrity just calls it LA.

Agree. Decide based on your own personal experiences not the opinions/experiences of others.

Everyone?

You pay the drink price difference plus 20% gratuity.

All CC benefits/perks are per person.

That would not have gone over well with us either. I would have done the same or higher. So they switched you from TD where times and seating has always been assigned to AT. Unacceptable!

Yesterday in remembrance of Jimmy Buffett RC handed out complimentary margaritas on every ship from 5pm-6pm. Kudos to RC. 🍹

@Northern Aurora is correct. Turn Around Day.

Agree and TV. I've seen the movies being played long before we step on the ship.

You're stateroom category has absolutely nothing to do with the B2B TAD lunch in the MDR.

Might have been specific to your cruise (?). We were on the Apex March 2023 and spoke with a couple about our experiences with B2B cruises on the last night of our cruise and they told use they would also be getting the TAD lunch in the MDR. Printed invitation. Like always.

When's awhile ago? First I've heard of this. We were on the Apex March 2023 and spoke with a couple about our experiences with B2B cruises on the last night of our cruise and they told use they would also be getting the TAD lunch in the MDR. Printed invitation. Like always.
