Assuming Celebrity docks at International with the RCCL ships, it was $17 in December 22 (From Puerto Maya next door). I can report back after I go this December if the rates have gone up in the past year. (I just assume $20 to be on the safe side)

@bguppies is it $20 per person each way or $20 per taxi each way? 

New to the Diamond level and wondering if I can check-in before my scheduled 1:00pm time? I am on the Meraviglia out of Port Canaveral. 

I called MSC today with this question and was told you can get the package but must buy it onboard for 3 day cruises,

We shall see if this is true. I just read yesterday that it’s supposed to be completed by the end of the 1sr qtr in 2023. We sail at the end of March so my husband is hoping it’s finished then.

The Sept 5 date is confirmed for the Beyond, that is the "Presidents Cruise" and it is a big thing Lisa will be introducing. 

Here is an update I found for Celebrity's installation:

"Celebrity Cruises has already provided an update on when it plans to implement the new systems on its ships. Celebrity’s newest ship, Celebrity Beyond, will receive the new system on September 5, among one of the first ships to be turned over this Holiday Weekend.

All of the Celebrity Edge Series ships will have been updated by the end of this year. The installation will then continue into 2023 and be complete by May."

Call them and wait for them to answer...............

Call your Travel Agent. You should have all this 8 days out. Your agent can handle this for you. 

@cruising sister Thanks for all the information!! I leave tomorrow for FLL and will be getting on after you get off. I am in Aqua so hoping no long lines at Blu but its a vacation so I will be chilling!!

What am I missing? I'm on the upcoming sailing on July 2 and I understand it's a dated ship with a really fun itinerary. I know I paid less for a dated ship so I'm not expecting the latest and greatest. To me, as long as the food is good, drinks are cold, and I get to partake on the excursions I like how can you have a bad time? The cabin is just for resting up for the next adventure 🙂

 

I am on the July 2 sailing and agree!! Its was cheap for me (Just over $800 pp for Aqua) I want to have some good food and just relax on the ocean. The room is just for sleeping. 

By spring break I mean the scheduled airlines are at capacity and don't have the ability to find a planes/pilots. The charter airlines in the US have very little availability with the sports charters going on right now.  Of the 5 flights flown today 3 were Air Century (an airline in the Dominican Republic) because there are not US charters available. It is always this time of year, nothing new.

They have added another 767 flight for today.  Based on the schedule between yesterday and today they will maybe move at most 900 guest. Anyone know how many were on board?

From what I can see on FLIGHTAWARE.COM there was one 767 charter yesterday and 2 A321s schedule so far today. So at this rate it is going to take some time to get several thousand people back to Orlando. I think Norwegian is facing a problem getting charters. With the NCAA basketball tournaments (men's, woman's and NIT) and the busy college/school spring breaks there is very little availability. This is going to get interesting. At least they can eat and drink on the ship while they wait.

I don't think anyone knows what the testing requirements will be when Celebrity starts sailing to Bermuda this Spring. You will have to wait for the answer. Testing requirements are changing monthly in some areas. 

Looking forward to this!! I will be on the same itinerary Feb 13.  

Carnival Cruises just announces that none of its ships will be going to Grand Cayman through Feb 20th. I am on the Edge Feb 13 cruise and I am sure they will drop Grand Cayman and looks like add Roatan. Either way I just want to be back on the ship!!

FYI to everyone, AA and UA did a big update to flight times this weekend for April. So if you have flights on AA or UA in April you need to CHECK your flight times they may have changes. Flights scheduled for May and beyond are NOT set yet and I feel sure MANY will change as they get closer. 

Thanks no problem walking!!

What is the best way to get there from the port?

Since March 2020 and the start of Covid airlines only set their schedules about 3 months out. Example American Airlines has only set its schedule through March 2022. Any flights in April or forward are probably going to change. 

As a FYI, always download the app of the airline you are travelling. If you have a problem during flight it is the best way to keep up with what is going on  and it will show you the changes in the schedule.

FYI, I just did a quick search on CVS's site and the WI sites do have the Rapid-result Antigen test. CVS usually allows you to make an appoint 13 days in advance and just now looking there were plenty of times available at the stores, I looked up. As a back up you have the Celebrity eMed TeleHealth Abbott test. If you do both of these I think you set. The third backup would to have the test done at the FLL airport on arrival.

That would be like a man wearing wearing both a belt and suspenders with his pants 😂.  

I had never used Celebrity Flights before, but with everything going on I have used then on my November and my upcoming Feb. cruises just for the piece of mind that they will help me if I have a problem. The cost was the same as if I booked direct with the airline.

I received the email and I cannot even check-in for my cruise till December 30 per the app. 🤣

When I was on the Edge, in November,  the new crew members where isolated on deck 6. 

I like that they sent this out!! I got mine too!

If you go the Celebrity agent site http://www.thecelebritycommitment.com/tools_offers.html you will see the sale listed as "Cyber Week Event" and the link is live and says ends December 8th.
