the problem is without being able to load a picture it won't complete the check in. I assume that isn't a problem, just showing up without being checked in...just frustrating (especially when wife took her pic and 5 minutes later I coudn't..using same device!

i just came here to search and found you have EXACT same problem as us...i was able to get wife checked in WITH picture taking on laptop working, then tried to do mine and NOTHING...the camera comes on with me on screen, but no "you are too close...or you are high, get lower" like my wife got when taking her pcture. I guess I will try again tomorrow, and if doesn't work will just show up with out being checked in! We cruise out of Southampton England on March 8. I also tried on my Iphone, but there don't even get a picture screen...just blank.

https://book.abparking.co.uk/ABPShop/ABP/Parking that is the site I was told to use. There is off site parking at nearby parking garages...cheaper, but not as convenient. We are on March 8th sailing and are parking our rental car at the port. In past we have used "park and fly" rates at the Holiday Inn which is right next to port.

I'm watching it right now...no problems with it currently. I like that you can put in more than one "participant"...so my wife is also "watching".

I wear jeans, you wear tux. I find nothing wrong with either.

I wear my normal jeans every night when cruising. Where whatever u want and have a great cruise.

We did stand by and got on 930am flight a month ago in FLL. No checked bags (Maybe obviously). Gave us longer layover in Atl.

2 of us both got 10 points

Great news. Hope it continues. We get on this ship on Friday. We had already decided that we are sticking with our normal cruise dinner tradition of NOT eating in the MDR. We are elite plus on X and have never eaten in MDR. Based on recent internet chatter we had been considering changing plan, but just last night decided we wouldn’t starve with whatever the buffet had to offer. thanks for posting!

I really hope the dining on our upcoming cruise isn't that bad. We are elite plus on X and have NEVER eaten in MDR, but with the buffet cutbacks are going to give it a try...I guess we can always just go to MDR, get our food and take it to GO! I really hope the MDR isn't crowded and noisy (we are on Edge, so there are 4 smaller rooms...hope that helps keep noise down?) It is (was) so nice to go to the buffet, get exactly what you want, and then sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet!

Where else can they squeeze more $'s out of passengers?

A"wife beater/muscle shirt" is a tank top(or at least that is what I call them?), and since they list both t-shirts and tank tops separetely I figured they were referring to different things?

i didn't think so UNTIL I was reading:(bolded by me) Guest Ticket Booklet 10 NIGHT ULTIMATE SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN CELEBRITY EDGE 24 FEB 2023... Note: T-shirts, swimsuits, robes, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps and pool wear are not allowed in the main restaurant or specialty restaurant at any time. Shorts and flip flops are not allowed in the evening hours. As a courtesy to our guests, we respectfully require and enforce compliance with dress code at the entrance of your restaurant of choice, Additionally, guests are asked to follow the dress code in the Celebrity Theater for all evening performances.

Is it really true that you can NOT wear a t-shirt in the MDR at breakfast or lunch? (if they allow shorts at dinner...per some reports YMMV, they surely would let you eat breakfast while wearing a t-shirt???)

We have upcoming free BCC cruise. I called general 800 number yesterday and they were able to sell me Wi-Fi package and apply my elite plus discount without any fuss.

Using that timing as an example of all in time for a complete course by course meal, does anyone know (or can have an educated guess!), what kind of time it would take if we went to MDR and ONLY ordered a "main course"...I assume it wouldn't take over 2 hours???

We cruise next week. We are elite+ but haven't cruised on X for 4 years. I hope this is what we find also...reading these boards about understaffing...you obviously don't agree with that...so hope same holds true for us!

Or at least can be opened unless it is "locked"

My "designer jeans" were designed by Lee.

or on a "free" casino cruise!

There should be a way to have your X app make phone buzz whenever there is brisket available!

I think the problem isn't that the ship is full...I think the problem could be that the ship is not fully staffed. We sail on X for the first time in about 4 years (we are elite plus) in less than 2 weeks (first time on Egde)...I am going with open mind...We will have a great cruise not matter what the ship life is like (we basically use the cruise ship as a hotel).

Do you know if the ship is actually crossing time zone when the ship changes clocks? Just wondering if our iPhones will do the two time changes automatically or if we will have to do the math for some of the trip? thanks for your time and review. Good info for us when boarding in 13 days!

thanks for info...our sailing is sold out, but they are still taking upgrade bids...i assume that is in case of last minute cancellations or no-shows...i can't decide if we should put in a bid or not...the minimum bid is pretty low (but odds are if a room becomes available the minimum bid wouldn't win anyway)

Is the retreat lounge open all day (for free alcoholic drinks??)? We have no drink package and are considering bidding.and would consider that perk in the decision. thanks for info!
