Others seem to say 11:30 is the earliest check in time you can pick. We will be on Solstice next Sunday out of Vancouver BC. We have an 11:30 check in. At about 30 days before your cruise you can see your document and able to print luggage tags.

WHAT IS MY DEPOSIT AMOUNT? Effective June 1st, 2023, deposits for suites, The Retreat, bookings will be calculated as 10% of cruise fare of the stateroom. If the 10% value is less than the current standard deposit amount, the standard amount will be applied. All other deposits for Aqua Class, Concierge Class, Veranda, ocean view and inside staterooms are unchanged. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/General_Info/5_15_23_Suite_Percentage_Deposit_FAQs.pdf

My thought would be the Grand Marnier Souffle and have the cheese plate sent to the suite. My go to dessert is the creme brulee.😋

As long as it's not Miracle Whip, I'm ok. I can dip my fries in the mayo.

Only 1 breakfast at the hotel. I have to save room for lunch😋. It is not easy maintaining 160lbs/72k.

I have not tried the lobster roll before. My plan is to have the lobster without the roll as a appetizer. Then have the steak with fries and my main entree.

With over 7 Alaska cruises between Princess, Royal and Celebrity yes been to Hubbard, Glacier Bay, and Tracy arms Fjord. I like seeing the massive wall of ice and hearing the calving that interest me. While the scenery is nice it is not that different than living in the Pacific Northwest. The other day we had a deer eating my flowers. Had a bear climb over our fence a few years ago. Abandoned Eagle's nest found with many cat collars. We have bobcats roaming in the neighborhood at night.

Our cruise started from Seward in June 2022. We flew into Anchorage and rented a car one way. I think it cost an extra $250 for one way rental. We stopped at Alyeska Resort Aerial Tramway to see some great views and snow. We used a local tour company in Seward to see the wildlife. Summit is a smaller ship and has been revolutionized and has a Sky Lounge to see forward views. Edge Class ships do not have forward looking lounge. I feel you get a better idea of Alaska by sailing in or out of Seward. Out of Seattle you dont get a true inside passage. Seattle sails on the outside of Vancouver Island. If you have the time in Vancouver to see Capilano Suspension Bridge Park or Granville Island Public Market. We have done at least 5 cruises to Alaska. We leave out of Vancouver BC for Alaska in 2 weeks.

Yes, we have also had great breakfasts in Asian hotels. My go to breakfast is grilled salmon and rice.

On our last cruise at lunch time in Luminae DH was asked to take off his Polo style baseball hat. She said hats are fine, just not baseball style hats.

I just dont see what people see in Glacier Bay over Hubbard Glacier. Photo of Hubbard. Also what is nice about Seward Alaska is spending a few days in Seward and doing some great excursions to see wildlife. We did this sailing on Millie a few years ago.

Well this is what we do. 1st we have a small breakfast delivered by our butler at 7am. After that we go to Luminae to have a hot breakfast. Then go have a snack or drinks at the Elite breakfast before they close at 10am. We enjoy talking to the captain's club host especially Rose. But Rose has a new job with Celebrity. Also the view of the wake.

I saw the sale this morning. I saved $71.02 for our ziplining at Icy Strait Point next month.

It's basically a continental breakfast with a menu. You can also order coffee, latte, etc., Bloody Mary's, Bellini's, mimosa's or sparkling wine. On M and S class ships it is normally in Tuscan Grille. Not sure what time they open, but close at 10am.

With Celebrity in general I feel the quality of the steaks have gone down hill. The buffet has gotten better, but to many fish dishes and not enough chicken dishes.

It is the amenities that come with it that make it Aqua.

We had lunch on Millie in the outdoor retreat area in Alaska. The staff got drinks for us from somewhere. I'm assuming they made the drinks 1 deck down in the Sky Lounge.

Concierge class Seapass card are gold in color. Standard cabin dark blue. AquaClass is light blue. Suites are silver. Zenith's did have black seapass card. I'm not sure if they still do.

link to E Class Sky Suite with internal door to inside cabin. Check out the pic below from Edge. Dark line means connecting cabin.

We have met 4 Zenith's in MC. Very nice and very knowledgeable about cruising. It was nice hearing their stories. Last year on a sailing from Vancouver BC to LA we had to go through customs in Seattle. Well it was a disaster. We were in suites, what was to take under 2 hours, took up to 6 hours. X had to bring down water and sandwiches. While DH was getting water and sandwiches. I could hear was women say I'm Zenith let me through. I want back on the ship. You know I'm Zenith. Many of us that cruise, know that X must zero out the ship before they can start reboarding.

I only remember seeing stand alone hair dryers. The hair dryers are the type you need to hold the switch down for it to work.

I paid $413.98 for 2 for ziplining next month. That was with a 5% discount. It is great fun. We have done it once before.

Those are for RC, Celebrity. Princess are shaped different. The other items are for your Princess Medallion.

Check out this video. About 30 sec in you can see the balcony divider. Small round hole for the allen wrench and the hinges to swing the divider.
