  1. Sure, there could be pockets of violence all over the country. Was simply pointing out the retaliatory violet event that took place about 135 miles from Mazatlán was localized
  2. Was on the 'nox in AQ maybe 7 months ago and this triggered me! Just seemed anytime I went to the loungers someone would fall asleep and be snoring often extremely loud
  3. Turn off and on the phone if you already haven't and try again. If that doesn't work try from another phone such as a significant other, friend or family member; ideally from someone who has the latest model phone
  4. Was on her on 12/26/22-1/2/23 and thought the exact same thing. Had prime rib the last night and while it was overall good and nothing like the sirlion, it was still one of the toughest prime ribs I've encountered
  5. Generally it's under "manage trip", then "manage reservation" then it should list all your sailings and over the sailing image is another "manage reservation" button; should display right there but if not, like you said you should call
  6. All true and it absolutely makes sense to proceed with caution. The good news is the violence remained localized in the cartel stronghold city
  7. I believe your 64% number however I have not validated so I used the term "claimed 64%". You also have a great point with the influx of phone calls that I haven't thought about. I'm younger than most X cruisers so I forget they don't think like me. I just booked a CCL cruise today online and the thought of calling in didn't even cross my mind. I hate calling and avoid it whenever possible and if I have questions I'll search here and google (google often brings me back here to CC). But, I'd guess the older you are the more likely you are to call in
  8. If you ask anyone "what are things cruise lines could charge for?", they could come up with dozens of ideas from charging for shows to charging for every food item. The bean counters have already written down every fee and/or cutback imaginable; its up to management to greenlight them
  9. That’s because the violence was localized to the cartel strong hold about 135 miles away
  10. Thanks for sharing and that's a valid point. Yet I wonder, those us who use TAs (I don't), if you're talking to your TA about booking a X sailing but complain about the cutbacks, if the TA suggests to you go to SilverSeas, would many book a sailing with them? The pandemic forced many seniors to use smartphones and computers because often that was the only way to interact with your friends and family
  11. Just sharing a datapoint FYI, worked fine for me WITHOUT deleting my RCL #. For those of us who weren't born with the gift of a photographic memory, we can simply copy our CC #, press save, paste the CC # and press save again
  12. Vegas offers superior entertainment and food including the buffet (Bellagio buffet weekend dinner was recently $65 before tax and tip) but are very pricey on the strip. Thanks to uber/lyft you can find affordable accommodations, food and show options off the strip. All sorts of guides out there to show you how
  13. I agree with @Ipeeinthepools that if TA's disappeared, people would simply book directly with cruise line. Most people in the know use a TA that can give them a better deal than booking directly through the cruise line offering a group rate or some other perks/OBC often from kicking some commission back. You can also book directly yourself and transfer to a TA yet I'm guessing that isn't part of the claimed 64% figure
  14. Here are all the ships that are still visiting Mazatlan through March
  15. Let me try to oversimply this... El Chapo's son was recaptured in the Cartel-stronghold city of Culiacán which he lived in which is where the LOCALIZED retaliatory violence took place. It is about 135 miles away from the city Mazatlán. This happened coincidently just days before the US President was visiting Mexico City Should be noted they captured him in the same city in 2019 and there was even worse localized retaliatory violence in the aftermath. Cartel Leadership only have so many "enforcers" so to "deploy" them to a cruise port tourist city to commit random acts of violence against tourists doesn't serve them any purpose
  16. In X's defense, the food in the MDR or even Blu doesn't look much better...lol
  17. Just the make this easier for the folks who aren't as tech savvy... 1) Open the phone App (it appears you cannot delete your CC number in any browser) 2) Select the My Account/bust icon at the top 3) Select "Profile" on the upper right 4) Select and COPY your CC number 5) Scroll down, select SAVE 6) Scroll up, paste your CC number 7) Scroll down, select SAVE
  18. You say the phone, are you using the Celebrity App and not the browser? If not the app you should download it
  19. Damn demanding? I've been called far worse...What's the point of sharing you provided negative feedback but won't share what it is...
  20. Yes...X, make better food or else you're going to be considered wasteful 🤣
  21. Their strategy in 2022 seemed to be raise pricing of items at separate times. Biggest increase was the specialty restaurant fee increase along with adding a separate charge of 18% gratuity
  22. Totally agree however they may not be able to change/cancel. The good news is they can arrive a few nights early and/or stay a few nights after the cruise
