Ok, why doesn’t your TA send a rebate to you for a cruise you didn’t take? That seems fair.

Is the TA still going to send you 10 percent? If not why not? It’s not fair not to send you the 10 percent. Why should the TA keep the money just because you canceled? You deserve the 10 percent.

I guess you are not sailing in the suite class, I suspect most in the suite class enjoy the ship within a ship concept and the resulting class separation.

Just out of curiosity since we are talking about fairness, I suspect that your TA was going to provide you with some sort of rebate for booking the cruise with her/him. Is the TA still going to provide you with the same rebate even though you are not taking the cruise? Is it fair that your TA gets a larger commission because you didn’t take the cruise? I hope you get some sort of rebate from your TA.

Who will be the first to report that they have received their latest PUP?

Nope. Don't feel any pressure to get dressed up.

Never suggested that it wasn't legal and it sounds like it is working for you, but I'm not sure that I understand how it looks any different than a conventional Leatherman on a x-ray machine. I guess if you carry it with you, your bag won't end up in the naughty room.

Seems like a good idea and it's legal but it seems like it would still get detected by security and you would still end up in the naughty room to collect your bag.

Maybe, but if they identified a source on the Ascent, perhaps they decided to send out notices to a larger group.

I guess you were lucky. My experiences are different.

Everything will probably be ok. You may experience some areas closed off early so they can complete the work during the drydock. You may also experience areas closed for a week or two after a drydock as well. If I had a choice would try to avoid cruises either before or after a drydock.

I'm with you. Sure it was ok but certainly not a destination dish for me. Glad others enjoy it.

Please give the CC people a little more time, they're swamped because of all of the work adding PUP. 😉

If I have any non-refundable OBC on the last day, I will start adding it to the bar tab and give it to the bar servers. I won't let it go back to HAL and evaporate.

Maybe I'll try that next time.

idk about any agreements. FWIW. I did have roaming enabled and still no luck. I didn't have any problems on Royal or Celebrity.

I had the Premium package.

I think that's because anyone that is loud on their balcony believes that is all about them.

I just got off an extended cruise on the Rotterdam in the Caribbean. I was surprised how well the WIFI worked in that region. However the one limitation for me was that I was never able to get my Verizon WIFI calling to work. Facetime worked fine, but I was not able to make a WIFI call. Perhaps it was me, but i suspect the Verizon WIFI calling was blocked. This would be a major limitation for me if I was trying to conduct business.

We just got off the Rotterdam. Unless you want to dine very early or very late, book before you board the ship. Hopefully shortly after they open reservations. I did not see any discounts. The Have it All promotion has filled most of the restaurants.

Welcome Soy. I've had to cancel several cruises in the last year, some due to medical issues and some due to Covid. I have always used the Celebrity insurance to cover the cost of the cruise and GeoBlue for Medical coverage. The Celebrity insurance is relatively inexpensive way to insure the cost of the cruise that is effectively cancel for any reason coverage if you are happy with cruise credits and the cost is independent of age. I have also cancelled due to medical reasons and received a cash refund quickly. All Covid refunds have come directly from Celebrity. The medical and evacuation coverage is a little light with the Celebrity insurance and I supplement that coverage with GeoBlue. As others have stated, I wouldn't count on Celebrity for any future refunds because things can change quickly. Good Luck

Unfortunately, I've had to cancel a couple of cruises and shore excursions, specialty restaurants, internet upgrades, hotel costs, etc., do to Covid. Here's my rule of thumb. If you don't get the refund in 10 days it likely isn't going to happen and you need to call and bug them. Several times the refunds have come seamlessly and others have required several phone calls. I received the final portion of my refund in January for a cruise I cancelled in the beginning of October. Each cruise is handled separately. Good Luck.

Sorry to hear that you had to endure this type of behavior.

So what do you do? Confront your neighbor or just give up and go inside?

I hope someone has the answer for this question
