If tips are included, no. Now, if our service is good for our week, we do tip some cash.

11-11:30 was the first option, but yes. Not sure if that's good or bad with Celebrity since I haven't sailed with them. Princess does times, but they don't really use them, you just board when you show up.

Check in for ours opened today, 45 days out. Have read that is pretty normal. However, the message said previously that they would email when check in was available, and I did not receive any email.

Why would anyone presume what someone else needs for their vacation? I have a medical device that I need power for, and I bring cords to make sure I have what i need. I take them to hotels, cruise ships, airbnb, etc.

So, i did find how to do this on my reservation. Am I wrong, or are you just requesting an upgrade, and where it is on the ship is not an option, so you could get upgraded, but be in a different location on the ship from your current cabin?

How do you do this?

Seems to me just take one with a short cord, leave it in the box it came in and put it in your checked baggage. I suspect they aren't looking at them that closely as they load them on the ship.

I live in Georgetown about 3 miles from the Franklin County line, lol. We are probably real close. Eat in Frankfort all the time, closer than going into Georgetown. I am so glad to hear about the A/C. I prefer it cold. Can always use a blanket, lol.

Thanks for your update. We are on our first Celebrity cruise on Infinity in October. Did the A/C on the ship overall seem to work fine? I know the first week or two people complained about it. Would be my biggest concern.

We are going on a cruise in October leaving FLL and first stop the next day is Key West. Turns out our college football game is a night game, and I know the internet service on the ship people are saying is spotty (Celebrity Infinity). Does anyone know if the cruise time between FLL and Key West your cell signal (in our case AT&T) remains active or does it switch to some kind of sea cell connection? Just curious if I can watch the game on my phone without there being an issue with overcharges due to switching off AT&T for some sea cell service.

Slightly off topic question, but I figured I would ask it here instead of a new thread. We are going on our first Celebrity cruise in October, Celebrity Infinity. We will be in an inside cabin on deck 9. Does anyone know where the outlets are in that room? I tried to look at some images, and it appears the desk is on the opposite wall of the bed. Are there outlets on the bed side area to use? I really don't want to have cords going across the room. I'm assuming there are lights on either side of the bed, so they must plug into an outlet. I have one of those European to US converter plugs, can I use those outlets?

I did email in my request. So to be clear, you can't take an extension cord, but you could take a non surge protection power strip, like those already mentioned by people? Is the cruise line making a distinction between an extension cord and say a power strip?

So, what do you do, pack them with your medical equipment, or have some paperwork showing it's not a surge protector style and made for cruise ship usage? My upcoming cruise is my first on Celebrity, I have no idea where the outlets in the room are and what I will need, so I'm bringing an extension cord and a couple of these power strips to make sure I have what I need. None of it is surge protected stuff. We have never been questioned about this on other cruise lines.

Good to hear. I have a couple that I always take that are similar to this with a couple of outlets and USB. Why would they want to confiscate non power surge ones? People need them for their electronics and things like medical equipment. I pack mine with my cpap machine.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks All. I wish it was better explained on their drink packages page of the website.

We have our first cruise upcoming on Celebrity. We have the Classic Alcohol package included in our fare, but do not drink alcohol much. Instead we drink soft drinks and for coffee, typically what I call a white and milk chocolate mocha. I was under the impression that soft drinks and bottled water were included in the classic alcohol package, but what is a premium coffee vs a specialty coffee on Celebrity? We usually cruise Princess and I'm not aware of a distinction in their packages. Is it listed somewhere on Celebrity's website what is and isn't included in the packages? I found the drinks package page, but it's not specific.

With the always included style packages, every cruise is a booze cruise. They are making bank from it.

I so appreciate your thread. We will be taking our first celebrity cruise on her in October. A couple of questions. We are in an inside stateroom on deck 9 if that matters to the answers. 1. How large is the TV in the staterooms? 2. Are there on demand TV selection such as TV shows and movies? We are long time Princess cruisers, and all of their ships have wall mounted larger TV's and lots of on demand TV shows and movies to watch. We typically aren't much for the onboard entertainment, although will look at it for Celebrity, but usually migrate back to our room and watch stuff on the TV. And as you mentioned, if I wanted to stream say Netflix or similar, would that work with the higher wifi option? I have whatever comes with the bundle (drinks, wifi, gratuities), but have read that you have to upgrade the wifi to stream anything.

I just want to know about the A/C particularly in cabins. How is yours and any of your traveling companions? Any comments from other passengers?

We haven't eaten in a DR on a cruise ship in several years. Will eat the buffet basically every meal other than maybe a specialty restaurant. Like the flexibility, and being casual dress.

Thank you. That makes me feel better. We are booked on her for our first celebrity cruise in October, and I can put up with a lot of things, but not a warm cabin. We are in an inside as well, which should help.

Anyone been on since the first cruise back? I'm really curious about the issues surrounding the A/C working properly in rooms. I can live with slow service, but not being in a hot room.

Never seen that in 15 years of cruising with Princess.

Starlink is still not that fast compared to traditional internet options. We have cruised exclusively with Princess in the past, have one Celebrity cruise upcoming, and I have been able to stream, do video calls, teams meetings, etc from the internet. I'm really bothered that it appears even Celebrity high end plan is worse than the default with Princess. That's just ridiculous.

I will be interested in future updates from folks sailing on the Infinity. We booked her for October. I cannot handle A/C issues with cabins. We are booked on an inside, and as long as I can get the air to 70-72 I am good, but when it creeps up above 72 I begin to feel like I'm suffocating. I hope folks will post their experiences. I can handle meh service if needed, but not A/C issues.
