If you want distilled water, just ask your room steward. We had made a request online but never made it to the room steward. We just asked and it arrived promptly.

The local public schools were out on June 13th. Private schools were out a week earlier around the 6th. The first week in June would be my choice to go to Bermuda or even any time in May.

On the example of a drink costing $10, you would pay an additional $1 for the drink and a 20 cents gratuity, Total cost. $1.20 to your account

You may be assigned a time but it is Anytime Dining. Go to any of the 4 dining venues whenever you want to eat. Even though there may be special items in each dining room, you can order food from any of them. We had reservations but was told it was Anytime Dining. However, if you find a dining room and waitstaff that you like, you can ask to be seated in that area.

Boston's traffic can be quite challenging, especially on a weekday. Don't try to cut it close.

Despite the young crowd that you will see on Celebrity commercials, that is not the demographic of Celebrity cruisers. I noted that right away when I went from Royal Caribbean to Celebrity. A much lower energy level and much quieter at night. Last February on Ascent and Beyond, we had an elderly crowd with a minority of cruisers under 50 years of age.

If you won't give an infinite veranda a try, then look at the sunset veranda which offers a more traditional balcony. As mentioned, they do book up quickly and there is a long walk to the elevators.

A free burger and fries at the Mast Grill would be in order. 😀

Your flight must leave after 11:30 am out of FLL. Ending time is dependent on the airline. You have to pay the Luggage Valet fee and any baggage fees imposed by your airline.

There is no Murano MDR on any of the E-class ships. Murano is a specialty restaurant on S-class ships. You must be thinking of Tuscan Grill Specialty Restaurant and the Tuscan MDR.

There is a cheese platter and a cheese/ cold cuts platter in both Eden Cafe and Blu for breakfast. Not the variety or quality of cheeses available in the Murano specialty restaurant.

If your husband wants to wear shorts, he can eat at the Oceanview Buffet.

Agree. There are many long time Celebrity cruisers who continue to book despite their unhappiness. Many posts cite having booked several future cruises. This is not sending a message. One cruiser told me that they are not happy but continue to cruise as they get a "free" bag of laundry. Believe me, he has paid for that bag in some way.

We did a Summer cruise in the Caribbean. It was great on the ship but miserable in the ports that we stopped. If you are thinking of getting away in the Summer, I suggest Alaska or go to New England in September and early to mid October. Newport, RI is a real nice stop.

If there are days and times that you really want, then book it ahead of time. The savings may not be as good as a package but at least you know when your reservation is. We also do not like to eat after 7 pm and on some cruises, those may be the only times available. On our cruise on Ascent, there were good deals on several of the restaurants at 30% off with very good times. On our previous cruise, no discounts and limited availability. So it is a gamble in a sense.

OP may be working on a master's thesis. Or has nothing else to do.

Yes, it is available. Luggage was picked up the night before leaving the ship and the next time I saw the luggage was at our home airport. Able to use OBC to pay the fee for Luggage Valet.

Then why do they carry so many caskets on board?

We were offered it on Equinox but we were full. I shouldn't have had 2 appetizers! I believe it is listed as the "Cheese Course" on the Menu.

Been on S class for about 13 cruises. On one cruise, it was closed on sea days but we were allowed in. An investment seminar was being held and this was on the Silhouette in Alaska. Great place to relax.

We also miss the Corning shows which were educational. These are now different and a revenue generating program on board. Not as interesting.

It is open to all. Even when there is a private event such as a seminar, I was allowed in to read with no issues.

We were on the Ascent in Grand Cayman and had priority service for Elites. Met the hostess at the Tuscan MDR and she escorted the 2 of us directly to the tender area. Yes, there were only 2 of us. We were in one of the first tenders. Worked well. What probably helped was that there were only two ships in port.

A staff member from Sales in Miami answered my latest call. She communicated clearly and was knowledgeable. A price adjustment was done on the spot. I was delighted with the service.

I called Celebrity twice this week to service my existing cruise reservation. Each time, a customer service representative answered within a minute. This is a sharp contrast to my past experiences. In addition, the issue was resolved quickly without a need to contact a supervisor. I hope this continues. Each time I was prepared for a long wait and was pleasantly surprised.
