Have you been in a sunset suite since the drydock?

The airplane icon is back.

Yeah. It’s always been easier to shop on line than play 20 questions on the phone.

The link is not taking me to a flight search that it did several days ago. I was trying to shop the fares.

Anyone been in one of the new Sunset Suites (formally FV) on Infinity?

Thanks. I was hoping it would have addressed the newly named Sunset Suites, nee Ultra Deluxe Veranda, nee Family Veranda.

I watched the Webinar too. I didn't feel she gave any substantive answers to any questions. 

Infinity’s drydock was supposed to have been in January which means it should be complete. Everything here is speculation. We need to hear from someone recently back from Infinity.

Other than the usual Pool and Party bands is there any after diner music in the lounges? I'm thinking back to when we used to see Ray Brown Jr. on the Silhouette.

I have used Bags and Go many times. They do get your luggage to the airport and you can pick it up there. Currently a taxi to the airport is 45 Euro. So it´s cheaper to let them transport your luggage than going to the airport, store your luggage there and then go back into the city.

 

We usually take the airport bus from Placa Catalunya to the airport after visiting the city.

 

It´s pretty unlikely that you can already check your bags with the airline in the morning. LH doesn´t do this so I doubt that KLM will do it. The check-in isn´t open that early. They usually open up app. 3 hours prior to the (first) flight (of the airline that day - and then they might not allow to check in bags for a late flight).

Thanks. How do you collect at the airport? Are they held in a secure airport location?

Thanks. Were just considering metro to Sagrada Famila, grabbing lunch and leading back to BCN.

Sorry for the confusion starting this post.

We have a late, 740PM, flight out of BCN following our transatlantic. Anyone know how early we can check our bags with the airline (KLM)? Phone info is at odds with website info. We would like to rid ourselves of the bags and get into Barcelona. Is there a reputable luggage storage service at the airport?

Thanks.

If we board at 1130A, and do not sail until 4P, are we allowed to get off the ship and get some lunch? This would be in Tampa.

We had the 'glitch' happened to us. We had a dedicated Celebrity cruise planner  and it still took her almost a month to fix it. She had been told it was a computer glitch too. It was only $75, so the first time I saw it I paid it. Then Celebrity refunded it  and put it back on the next day.

Thanks. I guess they wouldn't need airport check in if there are no cruise passengers, so it makes sense that the Airport check in would have moved with the ships.

Thanks for that. The original thing I read mentioned the Intermodal lobby Terminal 1. Which terminal would that be?

I found a phone number and will call them in the the morning.

I posted this on Ports of Call Board but I know that everyone doesn't read over there very often.

I read that there are airline check in desks in the Barcelona Cruise Terminal where you can check in for your flight and check your baggage to the airport. It is offered during the cruise season which at the time of the article was listed as May to October. With the Spring season starting in April and with Barcelona being the primary Mediterranean cruise port does anyone have current information if the service is available for April cruise arrivals? The email address in the article was no longer valid.

Semi related subject. I read that there are airline check in desks in the Barcelona Cruise Terminal where you can check in for your flight and check your baggage to the airport. It wasn't clear when the service is available. Anyone know more about this?

Standard practice, refresh some public spaces and fix what's broken like the hot tubs.  Not a revolution

Have you been on since the drydock?

I believe that they converted the old FV/UDV's to Sunset Suites. I saw a post on here somewhere to that effect. I don't know if it was a change in name (and price) only or if there was some reconfigurations

That's interesting.  We are in a similiar situation on the Constellation in August.

 

We have been told that our UV is being reclassified as a Sunset Suite.  However, we have been told we won't get the suite perks just the upgraded cabin.

 

It will be interesting to see how you get on.

 

We have already paid to add on Premium drinks and wifi, but it would be nice to know we could eat in Luminae!

Same for us except in November. Our Celebrity Vacation Planner said we would get Luminae and Retreat but none of the other suite perks ie bar set up, CC club points, butler, etc.

It's supposedly a 15 minute car ride to BCN. Is it too optimistic to try for an 11:30 A flight?

Is it still not available on transatlantic arrivals?

Hello All! I rarely post but wanted to share this exciting news. This afternoon I got two phone calls from celebrity explaining that the cabin I booked for the June

29 th Greece cruise was being transformed into a suite as Infinity will be going into an extensive dry dock. The cabin that I have booked is one of those ultra deluxe aft that sleeps 5. The first phone call stated that with no additional cost to our family, we would be able to use The Retreat, Luminae, and the lounge.

The second phone call was basically the same info. My daughter and son are next door in a Sunset verandah and apparently these cabins are not part of the suite category. My husband , another son and myself will be considered suite class. At this time I have no further info. Hope this limited info helps,,

Are you getting all of the suite amenities? Like premium Beverage, in room bar setup, etc. ?
