This thread is timely.  DH has walking (back) problem and also recently diagnosed with heart issues as well.  Cruise is booked and anticipated but getting around will be a concern and most likely not doable on a scale needed to enjoy it.  He's considering a scooter but from comments here they are a nuisance and not easily controlled if not experienced with one.  Would like to hear from someone who had one delivered to their non-accessible cabin;  could they enter the door and use the scooter easily?  He's of athletic build and ably strong, so he thinks it wouldn't be a problem for him if the access to the room is not an issue.

I needed a scooter in Feb and had never used one before.   They show you how to work it and you can drive it.  We picked it up at the line to get on the ship.   

Its almost impossible to get it in a room that is not accessible (just FYI).   I would mention that they can go pretty quickly and caution should be observed.

I am looking forward to seeing this ship all dressed up for the holidays!

Don't know where I have been - but obviously asleep at the wheel!   This will be great.  Anyone staying in NYC for a few days?    I am thinking I need to do that.  Would love to see Rockefeller Center - haven't seen it for decades.

They are screw top lids.  I believe they are 16oz.  The cans are identical to Miller Lite cans.

Great!  Don't have to pack a large cup!  Thank you.

Betty

Hi - I was wondering what size are the cans of water and are they "pop top" or a screw on lid?

Thanks in advance!

Betty

Thank you for such a great review!  We have not done the cities you cruised to.  We will be on Beyond in 2025 - 40th wedding anniversary.

We like Aqua.  Have not done a regular balcony on Celebrity.

Keith & Anne Marie, I have followed your blog for years now & loved to follow your adventures.  I just saw this great article and I hope a new cruise report will be started at the end of July!   Safe travels & Bon Voyage.

That are on the other ships,are also on this ship,as I understand there are some differences in some dining venues

Being tested on only one ship - I think its the Dream.

Hi - Betty & Bill from Ocala, FL.  Looking forward to sailing this ship.  It looked beautiful and we couldn't resist!

Betty

Wish I hadn't read this topic....

Great journey!  We board her on 11/10/21.  Our first HAL cruise.   Beautiful ship & great descriptions by you Sansterre!

Yep they have major issues. They somehow wiped out my husband's Capt Club account. They said it will take 1 to 2 weeks to fix it. 

WOW!!!   That is amazing.  Good luck.

Hi Betty.  What email address for Celebrity are you using?  Hope you can get an answer from them soon.

I sent it to the CelebrityEngagementCenter@celebrity.com address.   I might be back on the phone 7:00 a.m. again tomorrow.

Betty

We had to reschedule a January 2020 cruise to January 2022.   This is on Equinox.  I have paperwork showing the cruise is paid in full.   We did lift and shift.  A couple weeks ago Celebrity sent me an email that I owed $872 on the cruise & I should pay it to avoid cancellation.....

I have called, waited on hold for hours.  I have emailed twice with no response.   Friday I called at 7:00 a.m. and talked with a Customer Service rep and she

assured me that I was at a $0 balance, and that the "department that handled that" would get me a new invoice by end of day Friday showing I owed nothing.    

Needless to say I have  had no such communication from Celebrity on this issue.   We have 6 other couples on this cruise with us.   I hope we aren't left at

the pier.

Anyone else having a problem like I outlined?

Here is a link to the daily activities on a Pinnacle-class ship (Rotterdam) to give you an idea of what to expect onboard:

Thank you so much!   Very helpful - looks like lots to keep us busy!

Betty

We are looking forward to our first HAL cruise in November.  Southern Car.   Just want to be on a ship!   From what I read - seems like Rotterdam will give us options in the evening.  

Betty

I have updated my FB preferences for HAL - hope to see more interaction.   Celebrity emails come all the time!!

Betty

We are booked on Westerdam for 10/30/2021.  We are fully vaccinated and hope to go on this cruise!!

We enjoy Celebrity - we choose not to be "formal" on chic nights - but we always try to look good.

Betty

I bid $30 more for my move up bid - I really wanted to get the upgrade & I believe bidding up a bit worked.  Have no idea about policies etc.

My dh and I have sailed both.  The food (IMO) is better on Carnival and the "your time dining" on Carnival is truly that.  On Royal I didn''t make reservations for each day - I was told I should have and to come back at 8:30 p.m.   So needless to say my next RC cruise I did book a time for dinner each day - hence defeating the purpose of "MY time dining".

We were platinum for the first time last week - we were directed to a separate line where we were on the ship VERY quickly.  Room keys are in your mailbox by the door of your cabin so no waiting!  You do online checkin & you are done very quickly!

We use our Carnival card quite often & are able to get credit onboard.   We also have a Royal Car. card which we also use
