  1. Yes it is. I don’t think anything will happen to correct it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  2. Why don’t they sail out of Houston, NOLA, and etc? Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  3. They usually have 2 game sessions and will be posted in the daily paper. It is always on a sea day. The 4 cards are to be used for 1 game session. You do not have to attend to play the cards. All you have to do is check the cards at the casino after the game and they will tell you if you won anything. It would be like a lotto card for the matches. If the dollar amount matches the dollar amount on your card for that box number you have a match. I think you need 2 matches to win something. The more matches the more you win. If you don’t attend you won’t have the chance to be the playing contestant, or a chance to win a cruise. I doubt it would conflict with anything of importance unless you have a nooner scheduled. 🥰😍 It is a fun and entertaining activity. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  4. That is what I learned from talking to the staff. They didn’t know nothing about it. They sell cruises. Advice was to call the race track. It is ultimate auto racing at a very reasonable price for what you get. Not the phony WWE NASCAR garbage. It isn’t anything that Celebrity promotes on board because they want to attract new customers. I wonder how many more venues Celebrity hosts and how to find out where and when? Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  5. That is why I make my posts public. So people aren’t allowed to , or prevented from cheating. People that make posts on how smart they are by how they cheat the system aren’t very smart if that is what they do. I don’t cheat the system so I don’t care. People that cheat raises the price for those that don’t. That is why I make the way to cheat public. That way Celebrity can do something to eliminate it . Hope it makes sense I worked in a casino as a dealer, supervisor, and pit boss. We were taught how to cheat. Not to cheat the players but how to prevent cheating by the players, and workers. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  6. Do you have a drink pack? If not why would they need one? If you do, why would they need one??? Have an occasional mocktail. 🤷‍♂️🙄🤫 How much other than water do you expect them to drink? You can take soft drink on board. Take a case. In the MDR they offer juices in the morning. There are flavored drinks available in the buffet, and Spa Cafe. When in any port restock the soft drinks. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  7. There is no way that they can keep track. If you put 2 in your carry on you have one for you and one for the other guest. 🤷‍♂️ Same in your checked luggage. Do you think that they will keep track and how could they? There is no way that they would know that you brought 2 bottles in your carry on when they scan your checked luggage. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  8. I was watching 24 of Daytona on and off. At the end of the race they mentioned that the teams will have a shorter race coming up at Sebring that is only 12 hours. This is used as a tune up for the other 24 hour endurance races. I looked up that race I found this: https://www.sebringraceway.com/celebritycruisesluxurylounge/ Celebrity Cruises Luxury Lounge. Not a bad price for what you get. When on a recent cruise I asked at the Future Cruise Desk about it. They didn’t now anything about it. Was told to call the race track as it was probably part of Celebrity marketing to expose the cruise line to the “affluent” race enthusiasts. Was also told that there is no Captain Club points awarded 😱😢😩 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  9. You are allowed one or 2 bottles each. Put one or 2 in your carry on and one or 2 in your checked luggage. The worse that can happen is they get confiscated. Most times it gets passed thru. There should be glasses in your cabin, if not ask for some. Fill the glasses in your cabin and take with. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  10. In Consierge you will also be able to attend an embarkation lunch in one of the MDR. The party that isn’t in C will not be able to attend. They are very strict about that. They have a check list with your name. If they don’t see your name you don’t get in. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  11. I think the confusion is you referred to it as a departure lounge instead of embarkation lounge. 🤷‍♂️ Hppy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  12. I have had Sue as a cd on a few cruises. She always seemed to stop and talk with everyone she sees but then says I can’t talk as I am very busy and have to go. Then why stop while we are sitting having a coffee? One time I made a comment about the lack of and bad entertainment. She said that she didn’t have any control over that and has to work with what the main office sends. On another cruise when she stopped to “talk” I commented about one act and also how good all of the entertainment was. Her response, thank you, I personally hand pick the entertainers for my cruises. I do believe that they do have some input but they are limited to what is available so both of her responses would be true. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  13. It may claim to be private but it is very crowded. There is a coffee pot, and some pastries set up on a table. If you think the buffet is a Petri dish stay away from that table. It is unsupervised and gets very nasty looking. Sometimes it will be held in a main dining room because there are so many that have that benefit. On one cruise there were over 1500 elite and above. Actually I don’t remember anyone checking if I was elite or above when entering. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  14. What is the issue with the buffet? We were on the Beyond in Feb in AQ doing a B2B. The buffet was fine. There were plenty of tables available and the selections were great. Personally we don’t find the CC lunch that great. Limited menu and nothing special. We had as a benefit doing a B2B on that cruise. Went because it was that benefit. Would have been better going to the buffet. Wouldn’t book a CC just to get that. Actually I shouldn’t make this post as all the passengers that go elsewhere such as Luminae, Raw on 5, and etc. helps to keep the buffet less crowded. 😱🤗🤷‍♂️🤫 This is my opinion and I am sure many will disagree. So be it Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  15. Don’t waste your time taking the photo. You don’t need it and they won’t use it. They will use the one that they will take as you check in at the port. It doesn’t matter how it looks as you will rarely if ever see it. It isn’t something that will be displayed on your drivers license, passport, or sea pass card. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  16. We were recently in a SS. There were 8 pairs in the closet and another couple pair left in a drawer. We left all of them and didn’t use any. They are very cheap and don’t fit well. Years ago we took 2 pair home. Our 8 year old granddaughter was wearing one pair at our house. We seen many little black pieces on our floor. It was the little knobbies on the sole of the slippers breaking off. You are not missing anything. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  17. This happens to the chairs at the bar and the tables at the side of the bar toward the Eden Cafe. There are also some seats as you enter Eden that people think are good but people will stand in front of you. Hard to explain but when you enter the area you will understand the areas I am referring to. There aren’t many good seats available for the amount of passengers in either venue. I would guess 50. 75 would be pushing it. Could be wrong but we were basically shut out of both because of the crowd. We got to both areas at least 30 minutes before showtime and all chairs were filled. We left as Iwe didn’t want to stand there for 30 minutes waiting for the show. Happy cruising. 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  18. All of my bookings have increased. Celebrity and other cruise lines are like the furniture, and appliance stores. There is always a sale. Sale doesn’t mean a lower price. It means their products or merchandise is available to purchase. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  19. Eden and the Club are terrible areas for any show. The Club is the worse. The sight lines are very bad unless you are in the front rows. Eden is almost as bad. Not many seats to watch the show. It gets to be standing room and depending on where you are sitting people will stand in front of you. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  20. Years ago we were at a RV show. There was 30 ft travel trailer that slept 16. I asked the salesperson what would you tow it with? He said any full size car or truck. I said what vehicle would carry 16 people? The sleeping arrangements were ridiculous. This pulled out, that pulled down. People were staked over and around each other. The person at the back would have to enter first and etc. if someone needed to get the the lav too bad. I think they would have to crawl and climb over to get there. Then think about all of the bedding, their clothing and the food. We had a converted custom van like many people did in the 70’s. They looked nice and seemed practical for traveling but one you put in the bedding, clothing and anything else there wasn’t much space left. Basically the outside at the camp ground was your living space. The van was your bed and means of transportation. It was rather awkward getting dressed but it was me, my wife, our 4 year old son, and 6 year old daughter. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  21. It would be better to get an inside cabin or outside cabin for two of them. It can’t be much more and would be a lot better. Just the closet space and bath arrangements would be worth any cost difference not to mention the sleeping arrangements of having a bed. Don’t be penny wise and dollar foolish. Lay out a 8 ft by 16 ft room and imagine 4 people in that area. Too crowded for me. Happy cruising 🚢🇺🇸🌅
  22. There were times when I took the cushions off of the sofa and put them on the balcony. I would lay on them gazing at the stars and fall asleep. Very peaceful as I wasn’t kept awake from my wife’s snoring. 😱🤫. Just another option. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  23. I googled how much Celebrity Captains make out of curiosity. Captain Kate came up. It gave a range plus mentioned her earrings from social media. Doesn’t really say how much but I am sure it is worth her effort and self promotion. She is no dummy. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  24. Blu does not take or require reservations. First come first served. If you want you can also dine in any of the main dining rooms. I have never done that but I think some do. It is like any restaurant. If you get there 30 minutes after they open you may have to wait for a table to open. Get there when they open or about 1 hour or so later when the early birds are wrapping up. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  25. Sleep on the loungers on pool deck or in the Solarium. There is also a mezzanine off of the pool deck that has loungers and sofas that over looks the Solarium. The Solarium has padded loungers. If you decide to be by the pool you can star gaze and have a reserved lounger before the chair hogs get there. We were on the Beyond 2 weeks ago and walked thru the pool deck and all the loungers had something on them to “reserve” them at 6 am. Same in the Solarium. Eden also has some nice loungers on the second tier. Take some blankets and be good to go or use some towels. 🤗. There are also some couches available around the ship. 🤷‍♂️ The great thing amour sleeping in any of those places is the snoring of your traveling partners won’t bother you. 🤗 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
