They have it but not on the embarkation night. And never was.
so the Captains Welcome never had anything to do with not having the Happy Hour on embarkation night
The OP is OK because there are two different ships, and a day in between. So it is not a back to back situation.
but your general statement about back to back’s being OK is too broad.
No, this would not be OK because you are on one ship going from one US port to another, and a Canada stop in between does not satisfy the PVSA. If you are on two different ships, only then you would be fine.
Both Ensenada and Vancouver are foreign ports. Neither one is a distant foreign port the law differentiates between ordinary foreign ports and distant foreign ports. But in the scenario you proposed, the PVSA does not come into account at all, because you were on two different ships with a days break in between.
I feel very bad for these ladies, if it happened as reported, but I am curious how someone who has cruised enough of Celebrity to become elite was unaware of the size of the state room that was booked?
Bring your own zippered pillow cases and give the steward explicit instructions not to send them to the laundry. Use a laundry marker pen to write your name on them.
if you are lucky enough to find brightly colored or flowered or polka dot zippered cases, buy those to make it even easier to see that they don’t go in with the laundry.
Oh dear, on a ship you will also be told at what hour you can have breakfast in the MDR, at what hour you can see the comedian, at what hour you can swim in the pool. Pretty much everything. 😀
It is an interesting point because if those under 18 could have their elite and elite plus status, they could also have free laundry, the Wi-Fi discount, and so forth
The OP asked an interesting question but I think it is one that no one here on Cruise Critic can answer. It was a corporate decision by Celebrity made years ago and the reasons are probably lost in the mist of time. I would be surprised if anyone at Celebrity even remembers why the decision was made that way.
You have been lucky not to have been caught with an extension cord. If they do see it in your carry-on luggage as it goes through x-ray, they will probably take it. Even in your check luggage it may be confiscated. Much easier to request one from Special needs ahead of time and have it in your state room waiting for you and not risk having your luggage delayed.
