If only

Thank you for your reply. Yes my DH has had his CDN interview & they told us 5% are picked at random for the interviews. This is his 2nd Nexus renewal so not sure about that, I guess it depends on how many people are ahead of him. Plus they don’t open until 4:30 & our flight is at 6:15am. Would have chosen a later flight had we known.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with having US Nexus interview before an early morning flight from YYZ Any info regarding length of time it took, would be appreciated.

Actually we found out that if you do your CDN CBP interview at the airport, you have to do your US CBP interview at the airport leaving on a flight to the US same day. No driving to the border to get it done, not allowed.

Monday, my DH had his appt at the airport which was great but that is not the end of it. You have to have your US CBP interview same day as your next flight you cannot make an appointment, this would be fine but our flight in January is at 6:15am & US Customs does not open until 4;30am. If there are a few people ahead of you doing the same it could create problems for your flight.. The good news is he has until next year to renew his card so worst case would be to drive to Buffalo. When you get your new card don’t forget to activate it on the Govt site or it will show not activated to the US CBP.

Unfortunately it’s the difference between buying & selling US $. Good luck, had this happen before very frustrating.

Make sure you did not get mail same day requesting an interview. My DH received a Conditional Approval in Nov but on re-reading the mail received at the same time, it appears he has to have an interview. So off to the airport we go on Monday. At least we don’t have to wait a long time for interview.

We had to go through Montreal as our flight to Boston was cancelled. It was like going back in time. Leave lots of time to go through security.

I think mine took about 2 weeks after acceptance to arrive, unfortunately you are dependent on Canada Post.

The Nexus renewal is sent by snail mail & does not have to be signed for. DH applied for his on June 8th & has still not received it, it’s also a 2nd renewal but he has a very common name. I applied last Nov & received mine in July, you receive an acceptance email first.

Unfortunately a few times, their computer system desperately needs updating as most don’t speak to each other. I have even had the show up on my past cruise list with no points.

Looking forward to following along, we have sailed on the Silhouette many times & interested in reading about your cruise.

Totally agree, I would love to have Aqua class on our upcoming cruises but I not want to pay for something that is already free,

Yes, I look forward to booking Aqua class w/o all the perks.

Suites can board anytime they want regardless of booking time.

We have always stayed at the Marriott Airport as they have underground parking & airport shuttle. Price has gone up but sometimes worth it in the winter weather.

Interesting, when we have booked the seats online it changes to US pricing. Maybe we should have been calling it in. Thx.

When you book a flight with Air Canada through Celebrity Air if your booking is in CDN $ the flight will be also. When booking the seats & baggage through Air Canada as you cannot book them through Celebrity they are always charged in US $ as Celebrity Air is a US based consolidator. There is no choice.

I would be tempted to go back to Celebrity Air & a different person might have a better answer. Explain that Air Canada said it would be no problem to change. It’s worth a try, good luck!

Air Canada has a flight about every hour to Vancouver, but unfortunately Celebrity air doesn’t have access to them all. If you are before final payment maybe you should think about not using Celebrity Air & deal directly with Air Canada. When using Celebrity Air you have to be pretty flexible.

We had that happen to us on the Millennium on our April 8th cruise. I think the room stewards have been told to automatically lock the door. They just sometimes forget that we are out there.

Thx Randy, something I will have to look into since summer is eventually coming at home.

Thank you for all your information, really looking forward to being back on the Millennium tomorrow. Right now we are enjoying the wonderful San Juan weather. Sure beats being at home with rain, snow ice etc. I too was hoping they had Ron Zacapa rum, it was only in the World class bar on the Equinox oh well no problem.

Not true, my DH worked just fine.

Keeps telling me my email address is incorrect. I’ve only been signing in to Celebrity for at least 15 yrs with it.

Not sure what ship you are on but if I could get Aqua for $100. I would do it.
