Live Celebrity Constellation 23 April 2024 Rome to Ravenna
MikeMary4449 replied to surfnsun's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We remember! Switch the phone to selfie mode, put it on the ground, and push the button! What a great idea! See, we ARE paying attention. Thank you so very much for all that you have done for this review. We have been taking a lot of notes as we will be doing this itinerary B2B in September also on the Connie. Can't wait to see what you did in Ravenna as this will be our turn-around day. Have a wonderful rest of your trip and safe travels home. Mike and Mary -
Zenith Retreat Discount (Existing Bookings)
MikeMary4449 replied to danir's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We received the Zenith Retreat Discount on four upcoming cruises based on the price we paid when we booked. This Discount was not applicable to our one paid-in-full cruise. If you are dealing directly with Celebrity, try calling again and speaking with a different agent. If you booked through a TA, have them call Celebrity again. Good Luck! -

Thanks, Jim. We just learned something new from you today. We had never opened the CS sofa but definitely have slept on it when DH snores! Thanks for all the time you take to educate us and to bring us along on your fantastic adventures. We look forward to sailing with you and Iain again one day soon. Mike and Mary -
Live: Apr 20, 2024 Summit 14 Night Panama Canal Westbound Cruise!

No, sorry, the filet mignon has been replaced by a 4oz New York Sirloin. -
Live: Apr 20, 2024 Summit 14 Night Panama Canal Westbound Cruise!
MikeMary4449 replied to mahdnc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
FYI: Someone earlier this month posted the current Kid's Menu and we can confirm that the Spaghetti Bolognese is indeed listed as an entrée. Bon Appetit! -
While this may be true in your case, in our experience, some TAs offer refundable OBC and some issue non-refundable OBC. @gvgseg should verify with their TA.

Live: Apr 20, 2024 Summit 14 Night Panama Canal Westbound Cruise!
MikeMary4449 replied to mahdnc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
@mahdnc Great review so far and looking forward to following along. Enjoy your cruise on the Summit. We did the full transit but in reverse (San Diego to FLL) on the Infinity back in 2017. It was great! I was especially interested to see that you are having dinner at The Strand House in Manhattan Beach after you disembark in Los Angeles. I grew up in Manhattan Beach and lived there for 49 years but have been away for the last 25 years. (Did you live near LAX from 82-83?) Safe travels and have a wonderful trip! We look forward to sailing with both of you one day. Mary (and Mike) -
So happy to see that you will be doing a live report while on your TA. Take good care of the Silhouette for us. We will board her on June 24 in Rotterdam for an 11-night British Isles cruise returning to Amsterdam on July 5. We saw Captain Kirk's Rock Concert on the Reflection last October. It was great! You will definitely enjoy it. Have a wonderful cruise. Gute Reise! (Bon Voyage!) Mike and Mary

FYI: It is our understanding that, if you want the "remaining $308" as a "rebate check", you need to let your TA know this BEFORE you embark on the cruise. If your gratuities (or any other charges onboard) exceed the $120 of OBC, your credit card on file will be charged, but any amount over the $120 will be offset by the rebate check (money in your pocket) after you return home. If you take the entire $428 as OBC, you MUST use it onboard or you lose it. Hope this wasn't too confusing.

@Jeremiah1212, This is great news! Where did you learn about this change? Can you post a link? Thanks in advance, Mike and Mary -
Disembarking at Rotterdam 7:00 am, 11:00am flight from Schiphol?
MikeMary4449 replied to Mark_K's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Hi @dani negreanu, Apologies for going off-topic. We have thought of you so often since our 2019 Ireland/Iceland cruise and are happy to know you are doing well and still able to travel. We had hoped to visit your beautiful country on an Israel/Egypt cruise this year, but unfortunately it has been canceled. Stay safe and we look forward to sailing with you again in the future. Mike and Mary -
We saw the same conflicting info for our upcoming sailing on Reflection. We had our travel agent confirm via an online chat with Celebrity that these amenities ARE included. We printed out a copy of the chat to take with us. You or your travel agent may want to do the same just to be safe. Hope this helps you.

LIVE FROM — Reflection, February 17
MikeMary4449 replied to What A Market's topic in Celebrity Cruises
FYI: Last time when we were in FLL we pre-ordered an Uber but got hung up in line for Customs for 30 minutes. Uber driver left 2 minutes before we got outside. We had to order a second Uber, who arrived within 5 minutes, and were charged for BOTH. The second Uber turned out to be half the price of the pre-ordered one! Hope this helps you in the future. -

Interesting, pre-Covid Luggage Valet Service was complimentary for upper suites. Post-Covid it was not offered, but happy to hear it is becoming more available again. Thanks for your great review! -
B2B Silhouette - Off Ship early on Bump Day?
MikeMary4449 replied to peachquilter's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We visited Keukenhof Gardens on a turn-around day in April, 2015 with no problem at all. Enjoy the gardens, they are beautiful in the Spring! -

Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge
MikeMary4449 replied to TrueCruiseaholic's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Does anyone see a correlation between prices of alcohol rising and the fact that Celebrity is scheduling more Carnival-like 3, 4, 5-night "booze cruises"? Their profit margin is no doubt going down with a younger crowd trying to get "their money's worth" by consuming more alcohol from morning to night. -
Live from the Deep Blue Sea on Reflection (Nov 25 - Dec 3)
MikeMary4449 replied to 81Zoomie's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We had a similar problem with our room safe once. The solution was that it needed a new battery. We told our cabin attendant, who made a call, and it was quickly fixed. Hope this helps. Mike and Mary -
Live from the Deep Blue Sea on Reflection (Nov 25 - Dec 3)
MikeMary4449 replied to 81Zoomie's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just another hint: While on the Reflection for 24 days last month, I found that I had to order "carrots well done" in order to get them cooked properly! Hope this helps. -

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary and special dinner in Murano. Kledji is a great waiter who did an excellent job of preparing our table-side lobster several times last month. We look forward to meeting you on the September 27, 2024, Connie cruise! Mike and Mary
