Exactly! We recently did an MSC Yacht Club and it was wonderful. We booked this RS due to having some future cruise credit that was expiring at the end of the year. Edwin didn't know which night would be the first chic night or which of the three La Petit menus were which nights. They should have this information if they also say we should book specialty dining in advance to ensure time availability. Last time we did a RS we didn't really take advantage of the unlimited specialty dining. We decided we wanted to do more of that this time.

Since I hadn't had a response from Terrikka since the 20th I decided to call her. She had no idea who I am (my emails were sent to her) and says my concierge is now Edwin. She says he will call me back shortly.

I sent her an email on the 20th with some questions. I followed up with another email today because we had to cancel our daughter in our cabin. (She's got a sick pup at home and can't put her in boarding). Some of my questions in the earlier email were regarding gluten free options for my daughter. No need for those answers now. If I don't hear back from her tomorrow I'll call her on Wednesday. Nothing critical but we did want to schedule dining. She must be very busy. No worries

The bidding is in case someone cancels last minute. Last year in October we had to cancel our royal suite a few weeks prior to boarding due to a cancer diagnosis. We had good insurance and got all our money back (minus the cost of the insurance). Luckily I'm in remission and heading for our replacement RS cruise next weekend! Someone got our RS last year by bidding with no apparent availability.

Do you know if Terrikka is on vacation this week? We have her for our Reflection cruise in a RS. I sent an email last Sunday with some questions and haven't heard back. Since we have another week before our cruise (Dec 4th) I figured I'd wait until Monday or Tuesday to call and talk with someone else. So far she's been lovely to work with.

Thanks Jim, I'll have to keep an eye out in Luminae. We have a lot of OBC so I'm thinking of ordering them anyway. Just don't want to pay $26 if it's only a few of them. Hoping it's at least 10 for that price. Also hoping they're made traditionally so my gluten free daughter can have some too.

Has anyone purchased the French Macarons in gifts & gear? How many did you get for $26 they're currently charging? Are they available anywhere else on the ship? Thanks!

We're thinking about a 10:15 am departure out of FLL. Normally this would make me nervous, but we'll be on the Celebrity Reflection in a suite and have seen where people post that the concierge can arrange for early departures. We can manage our own bags and plan on either a taxi or Uber/Lyft. Has anyone made a flight this early?

I cancelled my May 14th cruise on May 7th due to Covid. I just got the refund posted to my card today. Not too bad.
