We had also filled out the online form for the sports equipment/amneties which was successful submitted. But nothing arrived at our cabin. The tote bag was there but i liked the older ones more. The blue ones had a zipper and then there were some brighter ones that looked fancy. The one we got now is greyish and looks rather cheap. DW loved the lip balm but it seems this has gone finally? Any info on the Elite internet? Maybe I should have started a seperate thread for this.

Hi Everyone! Currently onboard, I recognized that the only AQ amneties we get are a simple bag and a cardholder. I remember times when we got a nice closable (zipper) bag with an attachable inside bag and a plus a smaller bag that could be used as a back pack. We also got lip balm and chocolate fruit. Is everything gone or do we ask for some specific things? I learned that we can ask for daily canapes as they are only delivered to concierge class rooms without requesting it. Second thing is the Elite minutes - I did speedtests on several days and compared it to the included internet - no difference. It is alway about 0.8mbps down and 0.4 up. Difference is that e.g. Whatsapp calls do work and you are able to send pictures through whatsapp (but very slow, again) with the Elite minutes. Is the premium wifi as slow as the Elite minutes or do they just remove the limit in Whatsapp but keep the same slow speed for the Elite? Thank you!

Of course I know that, thank you (and it was the same for Elite members, did that change?). I also inquired about pricing with Elite+ discount - but that was about 35% more than the current flash sale.

Thank you! I just called and did the same - so both of us are happy (i get premium spirits and she gets premium bottled water, win-win 😃).

Hi everyone! I just recognized that I can upgrade the classic package to premium for US 6,99 pD + grats. However, I cannot upgrade just one person. As my spouse is mostly drinking water, little softdrinks and no alcohol, the classic package is already sort of a waste. Is there a way to upgrade only one person with the current flash sale? Or is there an Elite+ discount for upgrading? Thank you!

I don't find any cruises past April 2025 for Celebrity Beyond and no transatlantic cruise. Apex is going to Europe in March, Edge will do transpacific in April, Ascent will follow Apex in April. So question is: what will happen to Beyond? For the S-Class ships: Solstice is doing tp in April Silhouette is unknown after April (like Beyond) Equinox is doing ta in April Reflection is unknown after April (like Beyond & Silhouette) Eclipse will do ta to Europe in March So I think those ships who are not yet listed for Europe will not do any transatlantics and not come to Europe, correct? They might be scheduled for the not yet released itineraries (Carib, Canada, South America)?

The cruises TO Europe (transatlantic) are still missing?

Does Europe include the Transatlantics?

Any new information on when they will be released?

I did not even get a mail to bid this time, sailing in two weeks on World Europa.

Beyond is moving so the port seems to be open now.

There is an older thread on this topic: And Beyond started moving, so port seems finally to be open!

OT: Even if I don‘t like a port I prefer it most of the time over a sea day. Why? Because people leave the ship in every port and so the ship is less crowded than on sea days. Crossing my thumbs for those cruisers that the port will open asap.

I am currently in Fort Lauderdale as I will (hopefully) embark Celebrity Edge tomorrow. I recognized that all ships were in port at 4:30pm. They had updated times on the port schedule, it seems they have again been updated to a later departure. Beyond was scheduled to sail first, now the only ship afaik is Harmony of the Seas that departed. I hope all ships can leave soon and catch up. Missing a port is not how you want to start your cruise vacation!

Thank you, so it should be Samsung. Because I like to connect my notebook to the TV to view my vacation videos & pictures. But the TVs are often in a so-called "hotel mode" which sometimes doesn't allow switching to HDMI input unless you bring an own remote/service remote. ?

Thats whats happening on 9/10 cruises for me. And thats why I always ask for a fresh one.

I always ask to have my burger grilled freshly and medium. Normally they grill lots of burgers and put it in a heated place and they are not medium as they keep on cooking. Even tho they tell you that they are medium and fresh… I‘d rather wait a few minutes as it tastes much better than those „pre-grilled“ done to well-done burgers. And normally I order two patties with one slice of cheese (in the middle). Let‘s see how the bigger patty will taste when it is grilled medium, will be on EDGE in less than two weeks.

Hi everyone, I don't remember what brand the televisions on EDGE staterooms are... I think it was Samsung or LG? I guess they are the same brand, no matter if it is an inside cabin, Aqua Class or Suite? Thank you!

Thanks wrk2cruise, so first setup with the included basic (= slow) wifi and then let them setup a second account with the Elite premium (high speed) minutes! Would it be also possible to do this on two separate devices instead of iLounge or will the folie number that you use to sign up be "used already"? And can I upgrade my basic wifi after few days with Elite discount to the premium one or does that have to be done on the first day?

Not via GPS but at Royals Robotic bar you can see whats going on with your order on your tablet at your table.

We have been on the Apex in December last year and the Silent Disco Event was held at Martini Bar with three DJs, one of them being the cruise director herself. Maybe because we were only about 950 guests? Was great fun, even some of the barkeepers at the Martini Bar had headphones!

Thank you mcmarya for sharing your experience. We want to do the partial transit until the lake and then leave the ship with a tour as I hope that we will arrive in Colon BEFORE the ship that way. I read that they will shuttle you back to Colon after the tour. However, if the ship arrives at 10.30pm this will be a LONG WAIT in Colon and I would rather stay on the ship then... what was your planned arrival/departure?

I am sure it will be no problem to accomodate you in the MDR. However, I would recommend to try Blu at least some times, as for us it is the main benefit for Aqua Class esp. as you don't need any reservations. Thermal Spa access is also very welcome - but for us, only on EDGE class ships and it is much nicer than on "older" ships. The shower and the fitness class is not worth the upgrade imho.

I filled the online form & uploaded proof of my shares, took only few days until I received an email "Guest Invoice for Reservation...." from Celebrity with a PDF attachment that included a guest copy of our booking showing all the perks and OBC with the first page of the PDF dedicated to the shareholder benefit which has been applied. The OBC in my cruise planner also shows the addition.

Tom, it depends where the cruise starts and where it ends as well as if you are vaccinated or not: https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/travel For US sailings, if you are vaccinated you don't need any test ahead of time. Regarding B2B it says: Back-to-Back-Sailings Testing for back-to-back sailings is not required for all sailings. Guests will be notified onboard if testing is required and will be provided testing at no cost if needed. But there are also special rules if you visit Bermuda: https://www.celebritycruises.com/healthy-at-sea/bermuda-travel-requirements
