And this is how rumours start.

It really depends.  We did a back to back (Collector's Cruise) a few years ago. One week skewed heavily toward a European clientele and was very dressy. The other week had a different crowd and was less so. As long as you can muster up business casual or better, you should be fine.

It is much more casual now than a few years ago

If you have checked the box in your captains club profile that you would like correspondence from Celebrity, then you should get an email each time new power up points promo comes out.   We do.  Just got ours today

Did you mean URcomped?

On the Edge in Feb/2023, in infinite veranda , did not need key in to turn on lights . Is this just for Aft balconies?

There lots of sunset verandas available on the Edge to Alaska in 2024.  I just tried a mock booking and May 11/24 has one, May 17 has one and June 7 has five available.   I didn't check other dates

It is sad story, but personally, if my spouse died on a cruise, I would not put her in storage and continue with my cruise

While gambling in the casino , if you access money from your onboard account, there is no fee if you are on slots.  If you are on a table game , there is a fee unless you are comped or have a blue chip status high enough to exempt you from the fee.   And for the poster who said they are not a member of the Blue Chip Club,-  if you tapped or inserted your seapass card into the slot machine( which you would have to get cash from your account) then you are automatically enrolled in the Blue Chip Club.

In Cartegena, Columbia just this past March 2023, we were docked next to the Edge.  We were on the Constellation.

The IV's looked like a prison to us.

I take it you have never been in prison. 😊

I mostly drink Iced tea on a cruise, have my mug filled all the time.

We are going on our first celebrity cruise this summer in Alaska, Is their tea good and strong? we have only been on Royal and the tea is good, how does X compare?

I enjoy their English Breakfast tea.  Of course strength depends on how long you let it steep

Is it normally sunny in the mdr at breakfast

Most AC’s are designed to not operate below 60 degrees.   Are you sure you got it down to 50 degrees?

That depends on your casino status and cabin type. Generally, no, you will pay a fee. But if you have casino status or stay in a suite this will be waived.

You can transfer money from your onboard account to a slot machine with no fee regardless of your casino status.  You can also transfer money from your onboard account to a table game, but you will be charged a percentage fee, unless your status provides for waiving the fee.  Almost all the slot machines onboard have the ability for you to do this transfer right at the machine by tapping your seapass card and accessing your onboard account with a password.  

So this thread is about one person getting covid out of 2900 guests on a ship.   Why is this a concern.   During on week in any town of 3000 people, how many people get sick?

X changed the day we will be in a port. We were meeting friends from another ship on that day. Do I have any options without having to pay the $200. to change? They are the ones who changed the itinerary.

What option were you hoping for?

Voluntarily if you sign up for Go Green.

 

Mandatory on Royal Caribbean unless you're in a suite...

We honestly did not see any difference in the condition of the room compared to before.  They just didnt do a complete vacuum twice a day

Just finished sailing on equinox then silhouette and then Edge.   I signed the go green email.   I can confirm that our cabin was fully cleaned throughout once each day in the morning.   In the evening , the attendant again serviced the room by emptying the garbage, replacing towels if on the floor, closed curtains, placed the daily on the bed and chocolates on the pillow.   I asked him about the new procedures, and he explained that since I/we opted for the go green service, the only thing he did not do in the evening was a second complete cleaning of the cabin.  So yes it is being implemented on Celebrity as well

Did you try any of the beef and fish options and if so, which ones did you try?

Over the 10 days, i tried the crab crusted flounder, steak dianne,  beef bourguignon, NY steak. All were exceptional

Barwick Cruiser, my wife and I were on this cruise as well.  We 100% agree with everything you posted.   We are seasoned cruisers on multiple lines and several with Celebrity.   We had a fantastic cruise in all respects and only complaint is that we enjoyed the food too much and now our waistline is suffering.  Lol

Current sailing of Edge has 2800 passengers

This I cannot believe - everyone.  Not like the X casino is like a casino in Vegas or Atlantic City.

On the silhouette now BCC comped.   I have no drink package for the cruise.  While playing slots , the waiter came around several times and took my drink order, delivered it and no charge.  You cannot go to the casino bar yourself though, there you will be charged.

I’m really upset the way Celebrity is lowering their standards.  I’ve canceled both cruises for this year until things improve.  /s

Most of the negatives you are reading are not true.  I am currently on silhouette and am not seeing the lowering of standards.  Sorry you cancelled your cruises based on inaccurate information

I thought most of the complaints were around dinner, not lunch?

Im currently on the Silhouette and those pictures are from dinner because we enjoyed those fabulous deserts 

Currently on Silhouette as well.  No complaints at all.    Great food in Mdr and lots of people in ovc even for dinner.   Last night they had more selections in ovc as well.   Afternoon tea and snacks, they put out great assorted small sandwiches and an assortment of sweets.     Regarding the crew,  my stateroom attendant said they normally have 103 attendants , but since covid and the gradual increase of guests, they have 86.   He said they are not over worked and sees the attendant numbers increasing as the guest numbers increase and level off to pre covid levels.  He has been a stateroom attendant for 20 years and was very complimentary on how Celebrity treats them.

OP:  That's what I saw on EQ.  The new menus are a lot different.  A lot of pork and fish, even in OV. 

I was on the Eq in late Jan and on Silhouette now.  That is not what I see on menus
