Does not apply to GTY cabins, per the terms and conditions

Your experiences are identical to mine. We have always gotten twice daily service in the Go Green program. I do not know what the evening service consists of, but I have not noticed any difference at all from the traditional service. I do not need the extra points and enroll in the program as a small (tiny) way to minimize our environmental impact and to make the cabin attendant's life a little easier.

Yes. In my opinion, the internet benefit for Celebrity (90 minutes over the duration of the cruise) is better than the "24 continuous hours" offered by RC. Just remember to log off your internet session to preserve your remaining time.

This is a frequent question here. This link from last month will give you more information.

Note that you are likely to need a reservation for the free wine tasting event. On my last cruise, I tried to reserve a couple of days in advance and was put on a waitlist, which I eventually cleared. Our tasting was done in the front half of Blu dining room, so capacity was limited. In times past, the event was held in a section of the main dining room and had a larger capacity. On our 14-day cruise, there were two free wine tasting events.

You probably already know this, but as a reminder to others..... cruise ships frequently cancel their port stops at the Falklands due to weather concerns. I did the research and evaluated options, but was disappointed our stop got cancelled one day in advance. It is important to make sure you will not be charged, or will at least get a full refund, if the cruise cancels that port call.

Was in BA last week and changed US$ the same way you have done in the past - "blue market" money changers on Florida Street. We relied upon credit cards as much as possible, but changed US$ for some small purchases. The exchange rate fluctuated from what it had been couple of weeks earlier indicating a slight strengthening of the ARS peso. We always check the online exchange rates from the Visa credit card site to get an idea of what is a good exchange rate. This Visa site is not the same as the official exchange rate. Blue market exchange rate was better than credit card rate.

Hi. I will be embarking the day you disembark, so I have been following along. I have a question re: photos you took at 06:15 AM. We are not early risers on cruises, so just wondering if we should plan on a very early day 🙂 If we sleep in, will we miss the lighthouse and albatross monument in all their glory? I suspect so, but just wondering.

Some of your wording suggests it is an E-class ship. In that case, see the above comments. I will add you do not need to wait until you board on M and S -class ships. Ask your travel agent, if you used one, to put you on the waitlist for MTD. Whenever I have done that, I have always cleared the waitlist well in advance of the cruise.

It sounds as if "honey" is looking for Fever Tree. Don't count in it - Bring your own mixers if it is important to you, as it should be. Drinking a premium gin with the onboard Royal tonic makes no sense to me. But is it worth the hassle?

Which suite category? The confusion among passengers arises because it makes a difference as to which category of suite you upgrade into, as described above in Post #5.

Nothing new. Staff will not want to see your medications. Notice is a reminder for us to not risk losing valuable items if our checked luggage goes astray. Airlines will make the same suggestion re: carry on luggage.

Thanks for taking the time to post here. It is useful to know for those of us boarding through end of March. BTW did Celebrity ever notify you about the change of terminals?

Since you brought up the topic of pet peeves... I have been silently sighing every time I see Millennium misspelled. 😪

You might find some useful information here. Be aware that if you ask 10 people for recommendations, you will get more than 10 answers. 😉

I am not familiar with AA policy. I have had good luck in the past with United, perhaps at least partially due to my loyalty status with them. Generally, the airline will try to re-book on their own flights, then look for joint venture flights if any, and then look for other airlines in the same alliance. I would suggest you look at AA flights that might work better for you, or perhaps British Airways flights as an alternative. Then present these alternatives to the AA reservation agent asking for their help with your situation. It is useful to try to get the agent to be empathetic and want to help you. Getting angry will be counterproductive. If the first agent with whom you speak is not helpful, then implement the HUCA guideline = Hang Up and Call Again.

Retreat and Luminae will be available. Drinks outside of Retreat lounge are not included. You will earn loyalty points at the level of your originally-booked cabin type (verandah, in your case).

If you have the time and motivation to post here, others might learn from your bidding experience. Congratulations on your move-up.

To finish check-in you will need passport numbers. You can start the process and complete it in phases; the system will save your entries and let you continue at a later time.

I assume you have a balcony cabin now? If you have an OV, then the move-up makes a compelling case. But from a balcony cabin, I see no advantage to move up to concierge or Aqua if you do not care for the spa or Blu menu. You would not even earn extra loyalty club points with a Move-up offer.

Flights are often not available for reservation/ purchase more than 330 days in advance. I suppose if your flights are in early November they could be purchased now. Do you know if the reservation was actually made by FBC? If so, you would have to call them to get record locator ("passenger name record") if this information does not appear on your documents. Without the number, I would question if you have a real reservation.

I received two-small value gift cards from my bank as a customer appreciation amenity, years ago. I just recently used them toward purchase of a cruise. Cards specified that they could only be used to buy a new cruise. They were not valid for onboard purchases. So, it is useful to read the "fine print"

Over my decades of frequent flying, whenever I have had flight delays or cancellations, I searched for alternative flights myself and then verbally fed my preferred itineraries to the airline agents. I did NOT rely upon airline staff to generate my alternative plans. This strategy might work with Flights by Celebrity. The less work and time the FBC agents have to do, the more likely you are to get your desired results. Their agents allegedly looked and could not find any other flights!!!! There are numerous ways to get from IAD to BCN, best of which is the non-stop on United. Obviously the issue is $$$. That should not matter to you given the published verbiage about FBC having your back. As others have stated, FBC owes you alternative flights. Persist and escalate with them as needed. It would help if you can remain calm when speaking with the FBC agents and try to get them to sympathized with you. I will add that you might ask for assistance in the Cruise Air forum. Your problem is related to Celebrity, but some of the participants in Cruise Air forum are very knowledgeable. And as others here have suggested, avoid using upper case letters in your post title in that forum; that will be a distraction.

Not in my experience. But I have not used FBC in the last few years because their Prices have been equal to or greater than those found on airline sites.

Concierge perks are "meh" for a lot of us. Some people like it because of cabin choice/location, which would be irrelevant if you select a "guaranty" cabin/
