  1. 18% is added to the price you see online or on the APP. Typically, it is added at checkout.
  2. Aren't the burgers already frozen and cooked Then warmed on the grill?
  3. I would suggest that if you want to dine early, show up when one of the MDR opens or shortly thereafter. We arrived at 6:30 and were told to come back in one hour as it was full But then again, our cruise ship was nearly sold out. There are no early or late seatings.
  4. On our recent cruise, there were no special lines for Aqua class or any others except for Suites. People were waiting for their times to be called outside. Luckily, it was not raining or hot outside.
  5. Our cruises have been 7 days in the Caribbean. At one time, we had two speakers on each cruise and talks on computer literacy. Nothing in years unless you want to count a captain talking about a cat. 😑
  6. On our last 10 cruises, there has been only one speaker. It was a naturalist on our Alaska cruise. When we first started cruising on Celebrity, there was at least one speaker on each cruise. Major reduction in the Beyond the Podium Program.
  7. It seems that you got the sales pitch. You needed to be there by 6 pm or you would be asked to return around 7:30 pm. Our cruise had about 3000 cruisers and most venues were packed. As mentioned, lines began to form around 5:15 for the MDRs.
  8. We arrived at 6:30 at Normandie and were told to return in an hour. It was filled up we were told. There were no assigned times.
  9. One device at a time for Basic. For Basic, you will be able to send emails but will struggle with photos. As mentioned, your ability to access the apps you mention will depend on several factors. Our ship was nearly 100% capacity and it was a struggle at times even with Premium
  10. On the Beyond, you will be using your SeaPass card to enter your room.
  11. I agree that the cakes and cupcakes look much better than they taste. I stick to ice cream, gelato, chocolate mousse and creme brule. If you are dining in a Specialty Restaurant, then that is another story. Many excellent choices.
  12. I have learned to bring a copy of an invoice to the ship. Only needed it once but it was important to have it to confirm the perks.
  13. We were disappointed with the quality of the WIFI on Beyond. I would have been really upset if I had paid $$$ for even the premium package. We used OBC to upgrade.
  14. Yes, that is typical. You should ask for an invoice from Celebrity and it will show all of your perks. There will be codes but many can figure them out. You will have a great time on your cruise. We really enjoy Celebrity.
  15. I was able to combine the pre-cruise discount listed in My Reservation and my Elite status discount. Cost was about $63 for a 7 day. I had to call Celebrity to get that discount. You can also upgrade onboard and it will be prorated but not at the pre-cruise rate. Even with the Premium plan, you may not be able to get to certain sites due to location in the world. I really struggled with CC and FaceTime with the upgraded plan at times.
  16. We ate there twice and it took one hour and a half to one hour and 45 minutes. We were not rushed at all and had drinks, appetizers, entrees and several desserts. Good choice of restaurant.
  17. You will most likely have to get yourself to a local parish. Been a long time since there were Masses on board.
  18. It may take up to 3 days to get your laundry back on the ship. You may want to consider using a local laundromat or using a machine at your hotel.
  19. On the Beyond, there were about 30 people we saw wearing masks. We wore them in the theater as it was packed and we heard alot of hacking. There were cases on the ship. This cruiser came and sat next to me by the pool and she was not doing well. Coughing, sneezing, etc. I moved to a different location.
  20. On Equinox, my bag was delivered one floor below. As mentioned, when the ship leaves FLL or MIA, I put my phone in Airplane Mode. Then I enable WIFI which will allow me to use the app.
  21. It is rare to see children in the Solarium pool during the day. On the one occasion, I went to the security agent on duty there and spoke with him. He took care of the situation. The OP is correct in that the hours were not listed in the app but are clearly listed in the daily once onboard.
  22. I agree. Both balconies are the same size. Stayed in those cabins.
  23. I had no luck in our cruise planner for 30% off. I do see 7 to 11% discounts on any night depending on the restaurant.
  24. You should not have any noise from the elevators as the ship has been well designed. You may get more noise from the creaking and groaning in the walls and ceiling.
  25. I feel a course is needed on how to operate the shower. Took me awhile to figure that out. Loved it once I knew how it operated. I did not discover any short cuts to Eden. Exercise was good for us.
