We were on the Beyond in Feb. This was posted in the casino. It is the qualifications for a comped cruise. We had a lot of SBC so my wife and I both ran it thru the VP machines once to “cash’ it out. I did about $500 or $600 and my wife did about the same. At the end I had 54 points. Bonus was 50 points also gave $1 free play. My wife ended up with 47. It wasn’t worth playing more to get the extra 3 points for a $1 free play. We ended up losing about 8% of our SBC. It looks like we got around 100 points/ $1000 played. At that rate I would have to play $4000 thru the machines losing $320 to get $100 off I think regular slots earn more. Don’t know what table game earn. Good luck gaming 💰💸🎰

I went to a bar and asked for MM neat. The bartender brought me the bottle and asked if I needed a straw. Didn’t have to ask for a double. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Why would Celebrity require you to sign a receipt with a zero charge creating more paper when they are trying to go green and eliminate excess paper. It also adds more useless work for the staff keeping them from serving the passengers. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t remember if there was on that cruise. It was fairly nice weather and the seas were rather smooth. There were times on all ships when the seas were rough that you would hear creaking, and other noises. It does seem though as if the new Edge class ships have more louder noises in their cabins than the other classes. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

If you are in a suite and book one of those cabins for a family member that are also in the same category. That is the purpose of those cabins. You may have to pay more than the rate for an inside cabin. It is like those adjoining cabins next to the penthouse suites on the M class. We had 11172 and asked the attendant about the adjoining door to 11170. He said it is for families in that suite wanting the extras space for others traveling with them. It isn’t the same as booking a regular inside cabin, or IV with a SS. That is also why I suggested to look into it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I always pack a few. One for the can, bottle of beer or water, and one for a glass. They wlll give you a glass of ice if you request it. I use these Freakers. The one that goes on a bottle will cover a wine bottle, and a 64 oz growler. They stretch that much and don’t loose their shape. They also fit in a pocket when not using over a container. https://www.freakerusa.com Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t think they have carbonated fountain drinks. Everything is in a can. I always see them pour from a can to make mix drinks that use soda. I mention this because some people do prefer a drink from a fountain over a can. Relatives have told me that they go to McD’s to get their colas because they say it is better than from a bottle or can. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Look into a Magic Carpet suite with the adjoining inside cabin, or IV cabin next to it. It may be cheaper and you each have a private cabin. Inside cabin 11184, or 11178. Or IV 11188, or 11170. They can be accessed thru an outside door, and the connectiing cabin. The line shows the connection between the cabins. The other is the outside door. This is deck 11, the other decks probably have the same available Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The benefit of a suite on that ship is a larger cabin, Michaels club, and Luminae, plus the easy embarkation. There are also other perks and private events in Michaels. You also get the premium bev pack and internet. We like suites but our next cruise is in a veranda. We couldn’t justify the big difference in cost. It is over $2,000 pp for a 7 day cruise after adding the option of the classic drink pack and WiFi, and upgrading to the premium pack that was on sale. Our last cruise was in a suite and most times for dinner we ordered from the MDR or Blu menu. We could also add the unlimited dining pack and still be way ahead. Suites aren’t selling out like they use to. You have to do a 10% deposit, and gratuities, and SBC are not included in the price like there use to be. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Totally agree. I don’t play that game and don’t ever want to. I was reading about all of the injuries to the senior citizens. I know injuries can happen to anyone but why push it. My neighbor has a full football scholarship at a Big 10 university . He was doing a drill running backwards and tore his Achilles during the season. He had to under go surgery and is still in rehab. This is a trained athlete. I wouldn’t want this to happen on a cruise. Can’t imagine the expense and everything else related to it just to show how great I am at the game. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Yes you will have to. I advise to keep them until you get the final invoice emailed to you after you get home. Just in case there are bogus charges. Plus check your folio everyday. There is also a TIP line. You do not need to add a TIP as 20% is automatically added unless you think they deserve more. If you find a BT that you like and have a favorite drink it may be beneficial to add a little extra grease as it could make the hand a little freer. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We were on the Beyond in Feb. The Eden Cafe has added some items that are not free. There is a Lobster Roll for $14.99 and I think a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich for $9.99, there may have been other items. Could be wrong about the actual prices as it wasn’t anything I was really interested in, especially when it wasn’t included. Too many other options available without paying extra. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t know what you consider quiet. It all depends on the passengers. The WCB could be quiet but if there is a group of friends/family it can get loud. There is also the noise coming up from the Martini atrium/Martini bar area. Both places will start to get filled up for the 5pm HH. Eden could be quiet but they also have activities going on and also the HH crowd. Usually there will be a string soloist or a duo performing. For the most part it isn’t very noisy The Sunset Bar or the bar at the back of the buffet would also be quiet at that time. Not too many there as it is outside, and remote from the dining rooms unless they are eating in the buffet that night. The Club if open but there always seems to be some organized activity when it is. If in a suite the Retreat Lounge would be the best place. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Agree with you. I think many do like that dungeon with the heated church pew but not for me. We don’t use it when it is included, or the free day as a CC status perk. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Wish I would have known this. I recently purchased some off of EBay. 😱😢😩 NOT Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We went to an adult game show on a different Silhoutte sailing. It was really idiotic. The theater was divided to make to teams. They would take a player/rep/volunteer from each side and they would have to guess the 10 most common words used for certain body parts, sex acts and etc. It ended up people yelling out words from the audience. Points were awarded for the wining side. In the end it didn’t matter who won. We were doing a B2B and didn’t attend on the 2nd cruise. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

One issue is that making the animals more of the resources and the ships are trying to go “green”. I doubt you would want to use this towel afterwards. One night we came back to our cabins and didn’t see any towels in the lav. Problem was that they were used to make the towel figures that were hanging from the ceiling. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Back in 1973 we were at Disney World. It was our 7th anniversary. We were at the Golf Resort for Brunch and had our 2 children with us. One as wearing a shirt that had Downriver AYSO Soccor on it. There were 4 females at another table. They said that we must be from Michigan as they were at one time from a city in “Downriver”. We started talking and they said that we really seemed to enjoy each other’s company. We said it was our 7th anniversary and we were celebrating with the Champaign Brunch. They thought it was amazing that we were married 7 years. They were all divorced after 2 to 4 years. We also thought it was great that we got past that 7 year itch. It seemed like a long time at that time. Not that it was a big chore or struggle to be married, or stayed married. It was just the time factor. Now it has been so many it is getting to be old stuff. Pushing 60 years. Pretty soon we can apply for SS and Medicare again based on that time span. 🤷‍♂️. When they ask the audience how long they have been married we never respond. Don’t see any purpose. It is like the person that sailed the most. Let them have the glory for what it is worth. I also want to know how old you have to be when you now become young? 🙄 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We were confined to our cabin for 5 days because of testing positive for Covid in 2022, Had room service for the 5 days. We were in a suite and had butler service. After that I no longer want room service. if you don’t ask for something you don’t get it. Ex. Toast. That is what you got. No butter, jam or etc. Luminae burger. That is what you got, no mustard, ketchup for the fries, and etc. salt and pepper? Didn’t request it so we didn’t get it. Everything always arrived cold. We just got off of a few weeks in a suite. Didn't even ask for coffee to be delivered in the morning. We were happy to be able to leave our cabin and get it from cafe al Bacio and enjoy it out of our cabin or get it in the retreat lounge and enjoy that area. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t recall any dining room being open for lunch on port days except maybe a specialty restaurant. The dining staff needs to get some time off when in a port to use the wifi, buy some personal supplies and etc. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

In Alaska you may also be able to connect to your cell plan without any extra charges. It is in the USA. Just be careful when still near Canada unless your plan covers that. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

To add to my previous post we pre purchased during a Black Friday sale. I think we got 3 cards for $24. I was planning on using my CC status to get the 4 for price of 3 when I picked up the cards. Found out that the benefit doesn’t and I think it states that when purchasing. I didn’t read the fine print. It was still a better deal. The sale time and location will be posted in the daily paper. It is usually a few hours prior to the game. One time it was at the casino cashier and on our last cruise it was in the Reflection Lounge. I stood in line while my wife left to find a some seats in the Reflection lounge. It was a very long line. When I got up there I found out that I needed my wife’s sea pass card because they were bought in her name. The clerk told me that I wouldn’t have to wait in line again, get her card and come back to the front. You know how that turned out. There were a lot of angry passengers telling me where to go. I still had to wait while getting all of the rude and hostile comments because she was processing another passenger. That person was getting hostile because she wanted the CC benefit of 4 cards for the price of the 3 that she purchased prior to while on sale. She wanted to see it in writing that the benefit didn’t apply. She wanted to see a supervisor and was getting very nasty. The clerk asked her to move aside while waiting for one to come but she refused to move. The clerk now ignoring her started to process my cards. The person waiting for a supervisor yelled at her that she couldn’t give me those cards as they were hers and she wanted them. While waiting I found that I wasn’t the only one that needed to get the other sea pass card as others also came to the front because of the same problem. This became a problem because they were now trying to get ahead of me. Make sure you have the sea pass card with the name that they were purchased in. On that cruise I won $5 in casino play. I played VP to use it and hit 4 aces with a 3 on my last $1.25. Won $500 There was a lot of drama involved for no reason. Things weren’t very clear. 1. You don’t get 4 cards for the price of 3 using the CC benefit if purchased with a discount promo 2. Have the sea pass card with the name of the person used to purchase them or have that person stand in line to get them Another tip is to play the game that is earlier in the cruise. Most lower amount of winnings on the card are in casino play. The higher amounts like $300 and above is in cash. If you wait until the game that may be played on the last day you may find the casino very crowded to play your winnings as people are using up their SBC. Plus you may decide to play again if you enjoyed the first game. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The servers and staff will gather around and sing Happy Anniversary. You may get a cake with a sparkler on it. I think you have to let them know as I don’t think it is passed on from the form you fill out. We don’t let them know as we don’t like the attention, or disrupting the dining area. The butler or attendant may decorate your bed with rose pedals and a towel figure if you designate you are celebrating something. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Yes it is. I don’t think anything will happen to correct it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
