Yes, they are. This was confirmed by Fernando on the WC, but no timeframe out yet.

We are currently in an Aquamarine Classic on the Serenity, and there is a European outlet between the mattress and the night stand on the side closest to the veranda. I’m using it to charge three devices with the adapter.

Den and I plan to be there, too.

We received our package today, as well. We could do with one more boarding luggage tag, as we don’t need to ship any luggage, but I will make a copy of a tag and put it in a clear plastic holder. We can’t believe that it’s just about here🥳.

As we are going to be on the WC, we would definitely stay on board, as well. Yes, it would be a lot of sea days, but it would be a lot better than being at home doing our own cooking and clean up and making our own beds. My husband is a good butler, but he hasn’t had the expert training that Crystal’s butlers have had🤣.

This has been such a great thread to follow, as we will board Serenity in just a little over two weeks. Does the ship have Press Reader? Not that the news is anything I want to be subjected to on my cruise, but my husband does like his sports pages.

Oh, this isn’t good for world cruisers, is it?

That osso buco looks amazing. Does Crystal provide marrow forks?

What time are the snacks brought around, or can you choose a time?

At least The Bistro and Marketplace have sneeze guards. Not the best prevention of illness but better than nothing.

I agree with you. We were recently on a Regent cruise; and two days after a Grand Buffet norovirus was going around the ship. It got so bad that dining tables were no longer set until we were seated. Fortunately, we had avoided the buffet, as well as the virus.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I’ll be sure to avoid class time, definitely not my thing. History&Wine, I’m sure our paths will cross, especially at one of the WC events. Den and I are looking forward to meeting you.

I’m embarrassed to admit that in my decades of cruising I’ve never used the fitness center on any ship, or pretty much anywhere else. On the WC I might be inclined to use a stationary bike. What is the protocol for using the fitness center? Will I need to check in, wear gym clothes or can I wear casual daytime clothes? If the bikes are all in use, is there a sign-in sheet for use? Are the seats easy to adjust? I’m such a newbie for being so old.

I second the Hotel Grand Bretagne. We were there in November and loved it. Both restaurants at the hotel, rooftop and lobby level, are outstanding.

Keith, is there some where that tells us how many cruise credits we earn for voyages of varying lengths? Thank you. Have a wonderful cruise. We can’t wait to start our first World Cruise February 3. Bags will be packed soon.

Aw, Jim, I wish you were staying on board until Papeete. We board in San Diego for our start of the World Cruise.

Thanks, Phyllis; I’m happy to learn this.

For those of you who have been sailing recently, are the gentlemen adhering to the tux or dark suit requirement, or has there also been a mix of sport coats and dress slacks? Anyone being denied entry in the dining room or other public rooms? Thanks for your input.

My vote for essentials on the new builds would be Umi Uma, full promenade deck, and an open Starlite lounge.

Thank you Ibis and Keith.

Three times on the Harmony: 1992, 2002, 2004.

Can someone please tell me where the 110v. electrical outlets are located in the Classic Aquamarine stateroom on Serenity? Thank you so much.

I think we still get the overnight in Luxor from Safaga. The next day the ship will be in Hurghada which is just up the coast from Safaga. We’ll probably be driven back to the ship in Hurghada.

Thanks, Keith, this is very kind of you. Don’t know why some posters need to complain about everything you do for fellow cruisers.

I certainly hope that the one segment rule doesn’t apply toward earning cruise credits. Personally, I think Crystal doesn’t have their act together regarding the WC. What you were told is that those who are on segments 3 or 4, etc., can make their dining reservations before those on the WC. That doesn’t seem quite right to me.
