Just an FYI, Blu is your assigned dining room, you do not have a seat in the MDR although you may eat there.

Simone Biles named Godmother of Celebrity Beyond
dkjretired replied to dkjretired's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Every Celebrity ship has a godmother, usually a press release when they announce and then more publicity at Christening. Perhaps the most famous godmother of a Celebrity Ship is Moustafa Youseff, Nobel Peace prize winner. -
Just received Email from Royal that Simone Biles has been named godmother of Celebrity Beyound. Just the first paragraph of the email. MIAMI, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrity Cruises announced today that Simone Biles, 19-time World Champion and seven-time Olympic Medalist, will add another very special title to her decorated career – godmother for Celebrity BeyondSM, the industry's most highly anticipated ship of the year that recently debuted in Europe.

Blu is your assigned restaurant and tips are included. The tips that would have gone to servers in the MDR go to the Blu services. This has been policy since Blu was begun. There is no need to tip additional unless you wish to since you have already tipped them.

Concierge Class on Summit-what really are benefits?
dkjretired replied to cruisegal415's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just an FYI, there is no written perk for any class for sail aways on the heliport. Just a courtesy. -
I grew up and was LEO in that area, not many hotels near the port so getting one near the airport is wise. Most of the big chains are there, do not dismiss something because it has an Elizabeth address, city lines run through the area. On the East coast departures board there is a thread called Port Liberty 911. Good info.

Kilts have always been accepted, seen many on cruise especially years ago when things were more formal.

Cant say I have seen anybody dressed as classic Bermudian denied entry but also don’t remember don’t remember seeing any on ship.

Yup, go back to the AOL time, if you go on that East Coast board look for thread Cape Liberty 911.

Done this trip several times and classic Bermuda shorts are NOT allowed in dining rooms for dinner.

Smithsonian Channel on 4/23 is running a series of their Might Cruise Ships shows. They are showing the Solstice episode at 6:00P.M. Est. I have Direct TV, it is channel 570. This is a 2014 show and depicts Solstice’s first ever sailing in Australia. We were on the Solstice shortly before in Alaska. Good Show, by the way, look out for Tom Brady

I have one from years ago that will still drive people crazy, used to be very popular but still relevant. You new guys have probably never heard this one.

Are the casinos still closed when you are docked in Bermuda?
dkjretired replied to 3red7s's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Always thought that also but found out the real reason the casinos were closed all those years was for religious reasons. Bermuda is a very religious country but going back a few years they were finally able to pass legislation allowing it. The time they open is probably for your concerns. I would be surprised they would be open 24/7 since most of the stores on the island are duplicated at Kings wharf. -
Try Amtrak,

Keep in mind that some of the lines mentioned have significantly larger numbers of ships than Celebrity.
