Welcome to the wonders of the Celebrity website.

Try going to a large travel agent. You may find accurate deck plans there.

You first must enter Canada, either by air, rail or highway or ferry.

Then, at Canada Place terminal, you leave Canada AND then clear US Customs/Immigration.

I'm reminded of the famous line uttered by Humpty Dumpty from the Alice story

"When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean......"

Thanks for coming to the discussion, Celebrity, but I also have a list of Elite benefits from a few months ago, where this discount is listed as being one of them.

The pool in the Solarium, which isn't really a lap pool, is free to all. You will have a tough time doing any real laps in it, however, as it isn't very long, and is often full of other people.

It is interesting that the insistence that Elites were not losing anything in the new system hasn't proved true, at least in this one case. If they wanted to lower the discount from 10% to 5% or eliminate it altogether, Celebrity should have done it long before the Elite/elite+/zenith business, dontcha think?

FYI all -- they are giving a special promotion -- 3 points per $1 spent on Celebrity, Royal or Azamara, through February 28, 2014.

Many give a dollar or two per bag to porters. Others don't.

Not so far. Lots of us wish they would.

Do you have a link to this information, please? (end of discount for Elites)

Very interesting. I don't recall seeing any mention of this before. Thanks, Andy!

Steak is on the anytime dinner menu every night in the MDR. You may also have a steak at the buffet every night, at least on M and S class ships. Not sure about Century's buffet.

In an earlier thread, when the BOA credit card was first announced, poster ghstudio asked:

"Are the "private journey" excursions that are discounted with this card the same as the celebrity excursions you can book on the ship....or are they some other excursions? The term "private journey excursions" seems to have been invented with this card."

As far as my searches tell me, this question was never answered by any other poster. Does anyone have any idea what Private Journeys means? Does anyone know what the discount is?

They do salute the stateroom staff, and many others, on stage, usually at the farewell show, but sometimes at another opportunity during the cruise.

Yes. It's an old shipboard tradition. Were you in Select Dining?

Usually it is timed so that those in Traditional Dining get their entree, and the salute to the staff takes place before dessert.

If in Select Dining, the timing might be different for you. Have never seen it so dark that you couldn't continue eating, though.

Are you certain that request came from Celebrity? The use of the term "members" implies to me that it came from Cruise Critic.

Did Steiner also operate the hair salon?

Where or what is the Bristle?

I wonder if the OP was trying to put people off booking Century so the prices of upcoming cruises would go down and he/she could jump in and pick up a bargain. Now, there's a conspiracy theory for you.....

You should see the way the Jimmy Buffet fan club cruises decorate their doors! Lights, palm trees, hula dancers (the blow-up kind), sharks, pirates (life-sized cardboard cut-outs). People who have rooms at the ends of halls expand theirs around the corners. It has to take nearly a whole suitcase just for the decorations.

On Celebrity, it's not unusual to see a small stocking or a little wreath hanging from the number marker, or a sign taped to the door. I've never seen strings of lights or large 3-d decorations on that line.

Lots of people put a little personalization on their door so they can find their rooms more quickly. Maybe more so after the drinks packages came along....:)

"Not sure if it will go back down enough to make up for the $200 of onboard credit. Any advice appreciated!"

No one can know if it will drop enough to make up for the $200, but it might, or as Andy pointed out, it might go up. And the cabin you want might disappear, or Aqua Class might sell out entirely. Then where would you be? If there is a stateroom you want, and the price is ok now, then book now and continue to watch for price drops up until Final Payment, which is a long way off.

Never received one ever. Noticed that the site is down for maintenance now. We can only hope that one of these days it will all be fixed. Maybe if we all ask Santa.......

And there have been others discussing this change as well.

Check the Celebrity website FAQ. I believe this issue is covered there and that as long as one passenger remains the same you can change the second passenger.

If the ship stops at a port whether docked or tendered passengers must pay the port fees. Political feelings make no difference. Whether you leave the ship or not makes no difference. The port fees are assessed to the ship, and passengers pay them as part of their cruise fare.
