thanks!

How do you find your sailing terminal? We're on Equinox in 3 weeks...most likely 29?

We're scheduled for the latest booster tomorrow....3 weeks from sailing. We haven't had the virus although several in our golf club circle have and we've been in close company with them at 'functions', finding out later they and MANY others came out of them with covid. We also have had colds but never had the flu in our lifetime, so wonder about our natural immunity. In any case will NOT think we won't contract it on board as circumstance might catch up to us...😒. Now I'm thinking of masks, etc and a 'plan B' as you suggested JIC. Thanks for sharing...helps me in decision making.

You were looking forward to this cruise and I'm so sorry you contracted the virus to spoil your vacation. Did your DW ever come down with it after returning home? We're boarding in a few weeks and wondered how the ship would handle those who became ill with Covid. Seems you both were treated well by Equinox staff...🙂

Thanks all for info on MPC. app....I didn't know it existed. Input was easy and SHOULD help getting through Customs line at Pearson. In comments on the app page, one poster mentioned there was no clear signage directing which line to use. Does it work like the Nexus line? I've read the Nexus machines are usually out of order (and were even when we last travelled through YYZ 3 years ago - no change - LOL).

are there any on the Buffalo border?

Just renewed Dh Nexus and mine will be next month. If they rescind the program, wonder if there will be a refund?? LOL....it's govt....who knows.

how bizarre a reply! Guess ageism is alive and well among a certain population. Look around at what X is advertising....young and dressed for the evening., mixed in with a few gen-grayers...LOL. Maybe trying to put some class back in the line...the younger generation LOVE dressing up and looking good. Maybe SOME of the middle generation have a problem with it.

This comment I do not believe! So maybe the rest of your observations/opinions are suspect?

It's been going on for days...clearing the cache or the 'Celebrity' cookie works but I simply switched from Firefox to Chrome and it works right away and loads everything as it should.

IMO...I don't really think it's the shorts/tee that is objectionable to some, but I'm visualizing a short, tight, multi coloured, way above the knees, pair of shorts and an also tight, short, multi coloured muscle shirt with exposed hairy chest and underarms dining next to our already too close MDR table. This convo has gone off the rails that we're looking down on the shorts/jeans/tee crowd. Clean and neat and appropriate for the fit on the body works for me. Other than that my haha moment would be the green tux so of that I'm guilty. 😉 For me, I'll continue with a nice cocktail dress or pants and beaded top and DH in casual slacks, dress shirt and jacket will look really good across the table...won't notice anything beyond our few square ft...unless...the hairy chest appears next to us...at that we'll move tables...not a problem.

Try a different browser...I get in right away with Chrome.

I can't get through on Firefox...used Bing and MS Edge and its ok.

"Or maybe some people have too much free time on their hands." Or 'someone' is having an awful lot of fun with this thread...?

I don't think it's 'crap' but responses to the question "how much SHOULD I get in OBC"? When Celebrity has a promotion attached to a potential booking or cabin category, I'm happy to RECEIVE what they offer....and whatever the TA offers is a bonus as well. Guess it's the choice of the word 'should'.

Congratulations, you have a good deal....generally speaking, these move up offers are quite low for bids. From Inside to Aqua for $335 pp is very good IMO.

Rec'd this week-end (and on other days recently)...

You've posted far more than me (7K posts) in a comparatively short time, so no doubt you know what an 'advertised' program is and what OBC goes with a suite. You must have the answer to most of your questions or know how to search.

OBC goes with the advertised 'program' or the 'suite'....none lately for other cabin categories, unless provided by a TA.

Do you have X emails blocked? I, like the poster, am seeing 2-3 a day; it's the same flash sale or extended sale over and over.
