On Allure right now. Am I missing something or is there no place to get a free hamburger? I know you can order them from room service and maybe there’s a place to make them in the windjammer, but every ship I’ve ever been on there has been someplace by the pool to get a hamburger. Thanks!

Celebrity has the MAST GRILL and BAR overlooking the pool. GREAT fries and burgers

With iPhone 10 we use Voom and can do everything just about as if we were home. 

Spectrum wireless.

A government issued PHOTO ID

A driver's license or a passport card is an official PHOTO ID

Need the photo.

Depending on how far someone falls, they are more than likely knocked unconscious or break their neck on impact.  People falling off ships don't normally hit the water at a good angle.  Sea creatures are the least of their problems.   My DH having spent time on US Navy ships as an Officer says the fact they ever find anyone is amazing.  The amount of time it takes to stop and turn around as well as most people aren't seen when they go over so no way to mark where they fell.  Just so many variables and not a good way to go.  The ones who choose to go this way are the ones I don't get as there is always the chance that they are conscious in the water.

It is truly amazing to find anything in the ocean. How many ships do we see while sailing for days? It is astonishing to see one all the while the sea is a mass of ships, imagine looking for a bobbing head.

I don't thing anyone ever had any doubts.

Unfortunately, these events, nearly always turn out to be an intentional act.

Nearly always a most dangerous and unwise intentional act to be sure.

I believe the tram stops on the bridge. I remember at one point it used to go to the individual ships, but I don't believe it does anymore.

From videos on PTZ it appears that the tram, stops in the mid-point between Kings Wharf and Heritage Wharf where it discharges and picks up passengers.

I understand your dilemma completely.  Just returned from the Pearl this past Friday.  I was/am having IT Band hip/leg pain brought on by walking only a few hundred feet.  First day we took a shuttle to Horseshoe Bay.  Second day would have liked to go to the Snorkel Park, but there was no way I could do the walk there,  nor could I do the walk to Calico Jack's.   We stayed on board the ship and I enjoyed the pool that day.  I don't know if a taxi driver would  have taken me and  my husband to either, as they are an easy walk for most, as we did not even try to get a taxi.

I can do a two hour walk at my own pace without too much difficulty and would like to do most of it AT places I would like to visit and as few steps as possible GETTING TO those places.

10162 has the bed by the balcony.  This is an incorrect stock photo

Don't you hate websites that post incorrect photos without a disclaimer? 

I should know better with 10162 since my wife informed we that we were in 10162 two cruises ago and reminded me how I banged into the veranda door each time I got out of bed..

Can't you book a mobility scooter and have it with you the entire cruise?

Just trying to cut down on the walk needed to get to the dockyard attractions.

No need for a scooter.

I have not seen a nightly parade either anywhere in Bermuda in the many years I have gone there. 

Same here, going back as far as 2001 and several times since.

Anyone know the bed placement of cabin #12162 onboard Anthem of the Seas?

thanks!

Has anyone stayed in cabin 10162, was wondering about bed placement.

If you book the cruise please post how it works out. It will be helpful for passengers with mobility issues. 

Will be down there on a short 5 night on the Liberty of the seas in 20 days and will be sure to get a few photos. I will post them on this site.

Never had to even give this a thought up until this year. 👍

Im not sure how Captain’s Club status fits in to the question.  The tram stops at the same place for all, as I recall

It is of no importance other than to indicate that after being to Bermuda many times there are things we NOW need help dealing with.  This shows that even seasoned cruisers need help and do not know everything.

Sorry if you think otherwise. Happy sailing

I am Elite + too and I understand that you need to cut down on walking. The map shows the tram stop nearest the ship berths. There are two markers on the map. One with a little car in the circle is for taxis. The other one with a little bus is the tram stop. There used to be a tram stop at Kings Wharf where the Summit always docked but unfortunately they removed it. My guess is that Eclipse will dock at the Kings Wharf berth which is farther away from the tram stop because the NCL mega ships can’t dock at Heritage Wharf. The 2024 port schedule which shows the berths is not out yet. Since the tram would have to go to the end to turn around you might be able to get dropped off closer to the ships but I can’t say for sure as I never rode the trams. 

Thank you. The dot MARKED TAXIS  appears to be where PTZ shows the new electric trams stop.

Thanks for the confirmation.

You asked about the tram about a week ago on the Bermuda board and the answer remains the same. There is a free tram that runs around the Dockyard.  It has a stop by the Frog and Onion and a stop by the Clocktower mall. I posted a map that shows where the tram stop is in relation to the ship berths and a map of the Dockyard.

We are Elite + on Celebrity and would like someone who can accurately indicate where the TRAM stops before I book ANOTHER Bermuda sailing. We have been to Bermuda many times since we started cruising over 23 years ago and NOW would like to cut down on as much unnecessary walking as possible.

If  you could indicate EXACTLY where the tram stops on any of your several maps I would appreciate it, as far as I see on the PTZ Bermuda camera it looks like it stops on the dock midway between Heritage wharf and Kings Wharf and before the long pier walk to the Dockyard.

I am NOT looking for a discussion as to what a wharf or dock is and what is a dockyard.

Now with developing mobility problems limiting walking is there still a tram or shuttle from the ship OR the dock to the shopping area in the Royal Naval Dockyard?

It has been a few years since we visited Bermuda on the Summit and I would like to eliminate the walk to the shopping and the Frog and Onion.

LOL, I hear ya, I think.

 

We used to run behind the city truck fogger, I mean a thick dense fog, fogging the area for mosquitoes. I loved the smell of the stuff.  I think it was a Kerosine product. 

 

 

That was the main ingredient in the world famous FLIT GUN. It was actually DDT, which has been banned in the U.S.A. since 1972.

I grew up in Brooklyn and we all ran behind the sprayers with our friends, drenched in the stuff, LOVING EVERY MINUTE.

If you both are on th account, you can each go online and redeem what you want. They treat the redemption like a purchase where you purchase what you wish to in set amounts.

Basic breakfast, but at least it’s custom made to order and hasn’t been sitting under a heat lamp for 20 minutes like the MDR. 
Much more pleasant atmosphere.  

That sounds like a real plus.

It's a pared down version of the MDR breakfast. But it's quiet and not crowded.

Thanks for the reply.

There's no Coastal Kitchen on the Liberty so how is the breakfast at Chops ?

My last Grandeur sailing was Feb. 20-28, 2020.

Ours was March 7th 2020. Brutally cold and they were having a problem somewhere in the check-in process which caused a heck of a wait in line to get into the terminal.

They used a forehead thermometer to check our temperatures and I bet they read about 32 degrees. LOL

Got to meet a bunch of people during the wait as our adventure began.

Why do you think that?

 

It appears that Enchantment is in the worst condition, has only one specialty restaurant (less extra $$), but it does have more cabins (more $). 

 

It would be interesting to see revenue figures for each of the four Vision class ships. 

Our third Grandeur sailing out of Baltimore was on the last day before they closed down cruises because of Covid. The cruise ports all shut down and we managed to dock in Dominica and Barbados for the rest of our cruise we crisscrossed all over the Caribbean.

The crew was spectacular

The food was great.

Our J-suite ????

The HVAC system didn't supply heat, weather was frigid when we embarked, or cooling when we were in the Caribbean. Heating was again a problem when we were cruising back to the North.

Heating and cooling were resolved after several calls. The metal ceiling panel fell onto our bed and once again we had to have that resolved. The veranda door would not lock and would slide open even after it was "repaired" twice. When I finally used Duct Tape to hold it shut at night the whistling sound was comically loud.

The cruise was still fun, and we treated it as an adventure including all the missed ports, but did get to visit Dominica once again, which was an unexpected bonus.

Unless the ship had a major maintenance program, I would not recommend it especially if they got the stateroom we had. LOL.

We have been sailing for over 23 years and never complained about minor things but that sailing was more like a comedy of errors, or rather a comedy of mishaps.

Who gave you casino OBC? Casino Royale (Club Royal) ? We have never had a problem with them?

Are also a member of Crown and Anchor? An upgrade? Is it a reciprocal membership through Celebrity?
