I always take my smartwatch off of automatic sync on a cruise.

Been on over 60 cruises and I have been on a number of cruises where the ship did not change time. Not unusual in the western Caribbean. Cayman often in the past and that was confusing if booking independent stingray tours. Also being back at the right time for the return tender. The clarity is always pay attention. ........

Think about it logically. If a birth certificate and photo ID is allowed on your sailing then they won't reject an unexpired passport. Her passport is valid and is fine for the itinerary.

I didn’t say they did. I was making a joke. In any case they don’t need to worry. All they need for their sailing is a valid passport. They don’t need to run out and get an expedited passport. I won’t be surprised though if the usual doomsayers who don’t know what they are talking about insist they need six months blah, blah blah

And it is easy to get to from Hamilton. A $20 taxi ride or an inexpensive bus ride.

Celebrity does not have uniformed staff at the pier. Only on their phone lines……

All you will need is a valid passport for Mexico and the US. Celebrity will accept it.

I think that famous homes boat tour is a good excursion. I would take a look at the tourism website GotoBermuda https://www.gotobermuda.com for ideas on what to see and do. Bermuda is easy to get around on your own. Also the Island Tour Centre.has a bunch of excursions. https://www.islandtourcentre.com

It won't be like Coco Cay. For one thing it is not on a beach. Why are you cruisng to Bermuda? Bermuda is a destination to experience not to waste staying on the ship. If you want to sit by a pool you could book a nice resort in Florida. In any case if all you want o do is sit by a pool without a beach you might as well stay on the ship than pay for a day pass at Newstead where your view at the pool will be your ship docked across Hamiton Harbour. On the ship you will be in the center of Hamilton on Front Street. There are not may day pass options in Bermuda but there have been a couple of day pass options that at least are on a beautiful beach. I will let others comment on those as I have not done them.

The only way I am aware of is setting up a members I follow activity stream. Under My Activity Streams select Member|Follow. You then add names of members you want to follow.

FYI, at this time no iOS phones that can hot spot a wifi signal.

You would want to take the ferry not a bus but if you took a bus Hamilton to Dockyard on one bus ride you need the 14 zone tickets which are $37.50 for a book of 15. You can't use the 3 zone tickets. Be aware that the booklets are not sold at the Dockyard. You can get them in Hamilton and at post offices.

The tickets can be used by different people. Be aware that the ticket booklets are not sold at the Dockyard.

As I understand the email points on either will be added until February 1, 2023. So your points on Azamara in December will be added to Captains Club.

It has been one program. But now they are splitting. If you have never been on Azamara you will lose your Discoverer status on a certain date. If you had cruised on Azamara you would retain your Azamara status. I got an email explaining with the dates but since I have been on both Azamara and Celebrity I didn't pay attention to the effective dates.

Apple watches don't need to be in airplane mode. The cellular models don't have international cell roaming enabled so they can't connect to cellular at sea. I have been taking my Apple Watch on cruises for years and have never put it in Airplane mode and never had a charge.

It is probably easier to just look for a new agent for future bookings. If she is an excellent agent got to warn you though while there are plenty of good agents finding an excellent one may not be easy.

If you don’t wear your Apple Watch at home I don’t see any point of wearing it on the ship. I use mine at home for health and fitness and for notifications so I don’t have to take my phone out of my pocket unless necessary. Also up to date weather. I also track my sleep. I use the tap to pay feature. When I used the DC metro it would open the fare gates. On a cruise I use it mostly to keep up with my fitness goals. As far as opening unlocking the door on a cruise while cruise lines could enable that I am not aware of any cruise line that has enabled unlocking doors.

Your Apple Watch can be used on a Celebrity cruise. Your watch won’t roam unless you enable roaming with your carrier. Roaming is actually only technically possible on Apple Watches with the recently released WatchOS 9.1 and as of yet none of the carriers have yet announced when they will enable adding it to their plans.

Cellular at Sea is not likely to be any better than the WiFi on the ship. The WiFi on the ship is through a satellite link. There are no cell towers at sea except microcells on the ship which have to be linked to a satellite link. I doubt they have a separate satellite link although I guess it is possible.

I booked with them several times too. They were great TA's I did meet her as I went on one of her group cruises. Very nice lady. Died too young. I have been able to replace her with another great TA. Great TA's are not easy to find.

There is a large amount of cross border traffic between communities along the US and Canada border. Border crossings are everyday in parts of those 5 states. Thus the low cost DL alternative to a passport book. Residents of those border communities likely don't already have a passport. Think of it as a Drivers License with a passport card built in.

How would Real ID make us safer than the non Real ID drivers license? I am willing to be convinced. I have no objection personaly to having a Real ID DL .If my state gave me a choice I would have chosen the Real ID DL. Heck, I have Global Entry which required an interview, all kinds of info, and fingerprints. I tend to think Real ID is theater. Only half of DLs now are Real ID so what difference has it made for the 17 years not enforcing Real ID?

That is not really the American way. It is more like the Chinese (government) way.

Americans have been traditionally against having a National ID. There are constitutional issues involved, 4th amendemnt, right of privacy, and 1st amendement, freedom of association, i.e. not having to produce ID on request.
