How do you contact others in your group while on the ship? On Royal last year we were able to contact everyone and let them know where we were.

We were on Royal Carib last summer. Loaded with kids of course. The "ducks" were a big hit. I was thinking it wouldn't be a "thing" on Celebrity.....? Loved seeing the little kids get all excited when they found a duck.

We're in regular dining (not suites, aqua etc.).....

Edge to Alaska in May.

Is there a way to contact the Dining Dept (email?) shortly before our cruise to request dining tables adjacent to each other for our group of 16 scheduled for Early dining? We did this with Royal Carib last year and it worked perfectly. We are not all booked with the same travel agent but I have all the information (booking numbers, cabins, names, etc.) Any other suggestions appreciated. I hate to wait until boarding day to try and arrange everything with the Maitre D' if I don't have to. Appreciate any help you can give me.

Hi, we booked with a travel agent and got the Classic package as a perk. Can we upgrade to the Premium level and just pay the difference? If so, how do we do it? Thanks so much.

Frankly I agree with the poster. Based on the pictures, it's pretty sad. I too would be unhappy to see my Celebrity cabin in this condition. I've been on 55+ cruises and most on RC and Celebrity. I hope they can move you to a better cabin (and in fact you should get an upgrade).

lol. 😁 thanks!

We leave in the morning for our cruise on Sunday. Staying in the Woodlands overnight and on to Galveston Sunday a.m. Is there flooding in Galveston......will we have problems getting to the port on Sunday? Thanks again for your help.

One adult in cabin doesn't drink alcohol. Can we purchase one Drink Pkg and one Refreshment Pkg? Can we do it online or do we have to call our TA? Also, does the Refreshment Pkg offer lattes, capachinos, etc? It says "premium" coffees but is that just a better brand of coffee than you get without a package? Hope this makes sense.....thanks.

Hi, what is the best route into the RC terminal? Thank you.

Hi, we have a large group going on the Harmony next month. I see that there are only 2 ships in port that day (Harmony & Carnival). Some of the group haven't made any reservations for parking. Since they aren't planning to board until early afternoon, their grandma (me) is concerned they'll show up an hour or so ahead and won't be able to find a parking spot. Any advice I can "quote" from veteran Galveston cruisers??? Thanks!

Hi, if we purchase a couple bottles of wine in advance, will we be able to take them to the DR or will there be a charge? Thanks.

Hi all. We have a large group going on Harmony next month. Some will have internet package, others not. How do I message/text my family members on board ship. We all have cell phones. Thanks. Sorry if this question has been asked a million times. 🏖️

So, are the taxis running back and forth all day? Don't want to be ready to go back to the ship and can't get a taxi. Thanks.

😄 Thanks again.

Thank you. I assume there is a charge for this......

What do they have for breakfast? Thanks.

Zipped thru the previous pages, only found one martini. Hopefully, some of you veteran cruisers out there can tell me where they make the best martinis on the Harmony... 🍸 Cheers!

Where can I get different martini's on Harmony like the martini bar on Celebrity (lemon drop, cucumber martini, etc.)? Thanks all.

Good point and I agree with you! Someone in my group asked the question so I thought I'd try to find out.

I'm wondering....we booked our cruise (group of 14) early part of last year. Gratuities were stated as $16pp/pd. Gratuities have since gone up to $18pp/pd. Final confirmation has a paragraph that indicates if you booked before 11/11/23 we keep the same $16 rate "provided it is paid in advance at least 4-5 days prior to departure. These amounts can be adjusted onboard." Altho in 50+ cruises I've never had to remove any gratuities, I think I can assume you can remove the tips if you feel it's necessary? Would you interpret this as I am? Thanks all.

Thanks everyone! We've made a reservation at the brand new Hampton Inn-Shenandoah at the Woodlands. We can leave Allen around 9am, have a nice lunch somewhere and then check in at the hotel. Thank you Dan for the directions....I'll pass on to our son who'll be driving. Grandma will be much more relaxed than that long drive all the way to Galveston on day of the cruise, with little room for anything unexpected. I am a scardy-cat backseat driver these days. We're celebrating our 65th wedding anniversary this week so you get the picture 😀 Anyone have any recommendations for lunch near the hotel?

Hi, we have a large family group on the Harmony of the Seas in June. Can't seem to get everyone to pick something to do in Roatan. One couple just wants to go to the beach for a couple hours. Are there options you can make at the pier after you get off the ship? Thanks!

We are between Plano and McKinney. Now I'm thinking the drive might be more "hectic" on Saturday than just going down early Sunday and avoiding trucks, landscapers, etc. I forgot to mention I am a Nervous Nilly in the car and will be more so at speeds of 80mph. Our son will drive but I'm a terrible backseat driver. Just kicking some ideas around before I approach him with my "ideas." 😅
