Stickies are evil. There are far too many already.

No, Celebrity's works differently.

Princess works exactly the same way.

If you start with your phone then when your husband wants to use it, you log your phone off, and he uses the same userID and pin to log in with his device.

There is no need to log out. Just logging to a new device will automatically remove access from the current one.

November 1 you can apply.

Given the November 1, 2024 opening date for applying for 2025 cruises

I'm not sure why people think 01 November is a magic date. The app only says "in November" - there is no specific date in November when we can apply. The actual date will be whenever the board extends stockholder perk.

Well then you've never flown with them. Their onboard service is great. They serve free alcohol and snacks on short haul flights.

And I've never driven a Yugo either. Different people have different standards and values.

Bringing two bottles of wine at original embarkation is permitted and probably a good idea for your circumstances.

It really depends on where you're coming from and how much weight you want to put in your suitcases.

if you , or any in your group has been arrested for ANYTHING ( even a long ago DUI), you may not be able to get into Canada.

Yes, unlike the US, we take drunk driving seriously.

We are considering booking a different airline and will lose our paid fare as it is non refundable.

Only if the flight operated as scheduled. If your flight is indeed canceled, you will get a full refund.

YVR to SFO ( or any surrounding airports) is a common route, so you should have lots to choose from.

Non-stop options are limited to AC, UA, and WS.

Seattle is in the US, if you are flying from the US, you'll have customs in Canada.

And if you're flying from outside the US, you will need to claim your bags, go through US immigration and customs, and re-check your bags at SEA, then claim your bags and go through Canadian immigration and customs at YVR.

On the return, you will go through US preclearance at YVR.

We were on the Diamond this year in June/July. The biggest problem with the ship is that the air conditioning system simply could not handle the heat and humidity of a Japanese summer. Our cabin was unreasonably warm for the entire cruise even though they sent maintenance three or four times. The areas around the mid-ship stairs felt like a steam room because the doors to the deck do not close automatically. Hopefully it will be better in other seasons.

Not a chance. It would be worse than being treated by "Doctor Nick".

Yes.

Is it November 1, or so may months in advance of the trip?

It's whenever they officially extend the benefit. When they do, it will likely be extended to 31 December 2025.

I recommend MacBeath in Berkeley. If you're cheap, you can even get amazing finds rummaging through their dumpster scrap.

But on the other hand, if you log onto celebrity your reservation will show.

The OP said these were all private bookings. Thus, Celebrity would know nothing about them.

I will also express my disappointment that they chose a shameless approach to connect PUP’s to a booking and make it look like PUP’s are being offered to the general public, when in fact, most Celebrity customers will not be able to take advantage of them.

It's not like this is the first time they've done it.

I never knew that they'd use the filling to make up other items.  Maybe I'll switch off the Luminae burger for this next cruise.

A burger with lobster topping might be interesting...

What time of day are these wine events typically held?  Morning or afternoon?

Remember you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning...

At 10% of the listed prices, they might be worthwhile.

Be sure to ask for double filling - they are mostly bread by default.

As for guest services, simplyvwait a bit till the line goes away.

The first day is always bad because of all the people who got the wrong drink package.

If true, those who drink little, or not at all will only get hors d’oeuvres instead of a quality lunch.

On the Diamond, it was drinks only - no food at all.

There were thousands of customer who love it enough to go on a love boat themed cruise earlier this year with the original “crew”.

Specious argument. There would be thousands of customers who would sign up for any themed cruise no matter what it is. There are always fanatics to be found.
