Reviewing the deck plan of the Vista the lounge looks like a decent size but certainly not huge. As others have stated, it looks like a nice spot to grab a drink and snack and read the WSJ in the morning.

I was hoping that the concierge would be the go to person for speciality restaurant reservations if you are in that class of cabin. Not sure what else I would the concierge for if not for that.

What other Concierge class benefits do you utilize?

My first Oceana cruise; is the coffee at Barristas included or is that extra?

Thanks, 24 hours would be great as I’m an early riser and would love coffee relatively early.

We booked a concierge class cabin on the Vista and want to find out what types of food and snacks the concierge lounge typically has on their other ships and also what time it opens in the morning.

Very understandable. I need to check if we are elite plus yet as we have done a number of celebrity cruises and our cruise last summer the drink package was included.

Thank you. If you went, how was the coffee?

Would like to know what venue the Elite breakfast of the Beyond is held in.

I listen to music on my headphones while working out in the gym and as a general rule find the music blasting from the gym speakers from the ceiling disturbing due to the high volume level. I usually ask the gym personnel to turn down the volume that is met with various responses. I’m curious what the experience was in the Beyond gym as I am book on there in January.

Thank you, we did the package so your last sentence is applicable.

Can specific speciality restaurant reservations be made prior to the sailing date and if so how far in advance.

Would love to hear opinions on ranking of the Beyond specialty restaurants as we are booked on our first Beyond cruise next January.

In the description of the Concierge Lounge it states free wi-fi so my assumption is each cabin passenger can be on the internet simultaneously as long one passenger is accessing the internet from the Concierge Lounge; is this correct?

Nothing crazy about questioning a policy that can be interpreted as discriminatory to those that choose not to drink alcohol.

Totally agree; I can see the cruise line being sued on this policy as many refrain from alcohol by choice.

To be clearer using O air but want to come in the day before and then go back to the airport the day of debarkation to pick up the included transfer.

If we fly in a day early and stay in a hotel in London can we go back to the airport the day of departure and pick up our included Oceana transfer to Southampton as that seems intuitively fair since we are already paying for that transfer in our O based fare.

Agree very few passengers are masking on crowded elevators, bars, theater, etc. It will not surprising that there may be a number of Covid cases as a result but that is the personal choice we all make daily.

I am on the cruise in Aqua class on deck 9. My expectation was after 2.5 years I dry dock that the cabins would be made ready for passenger occupation this cruise but sadly not the case. As mentioned the a/c is not cooling adequately, our veranda door was off the track, the garbage bin in the bathroom (strangely the only one in the cabin) is broken, the cabin steward informed us he does not empty the mini bar (day two and still waiting). Registered complaints with cabin steward and called guest relations to no avail. Ended up going to guest relations last night at 11 PM to get cabin issues address and they sent repair men (oh and by the way we were out of the cabin from 5 PM- 10:30 PM last night and the room steward had not even made the cabin up- bed not made, morning towels still on the floor, etc.). We have cruised on Celebrity many times but not since the pandemic. It will be an one and done on the Infinity for me- ship is ready to be retired. Booked on Oceana next summer on the Vista out of London which I will start looking fwd to as the Infinity experience is lacking for me.

We are docking in Key West tomorrow and looking for lunch recommendations within walking distance of the port. Prefer a restaurant with outdoor seating and open to any cuisine though we enjoy grilled fish.

The original posts stated that they assume they have Covid but I don’t a follow up where there was a test to confirm that self assessment. Seems like a what if situation without a validation of actually having Covid.

Thanks, would be interesting to know if Celebrity would actually grant a religious exemption as cruise lines are having a challenging time mitigating covid with all the protocols that are in place. Outside of children who are not eligible for the vaccine I am not interested in cruising with the unvaccinated.

Per the Celebrity app it states all guests over 12 years old must be fully vaccinated with no mention of exemptions.

What does Florida being a “free state” mean? The last I checked all the States of the Union are “free”.
