  1. Has anyone that has to eat gluten free been able to at least gf toast at the elite breakfast?
  2. This is interesting. From the schedule that I saw posted, Reflection isn’t due until May. Can anyone currently on Reflection confirm that it has been done?
  3. We have this itinerary booked for March so I know that the next port is FLL for disembarkation. My question is….how do they get all of their stuff once they get back to FLL? Does Celebrity just put all of their stuff in boxes or something so they can pack once they arrive?
  4. I tried calling as soon as I saw your post, but the office was closed. Didn’t really have any other option. Not sure if I call in the morning if they will give me the discount, but either way it’s cheaper now. It did have a 9% discount so was $75/day
  5. Didn’t realize this was happening and Blue Chip Club is closed so I had to book on line. Didn’t get my 20% discount, but still cheaper than what it will be once the price goes up. 😩
  6. It was always locked when my kids were under 21 every cruise they took. Was just stating my experience. Just ask them to lock it or empty it
  7. Since they are underage the mini bar will be locked
  8. I don’t think there are a whole lot of them, only a handful. Two of them are Wisconsin and Louisiana. It can be at a restaurant. In Wisconsin the Server gives the drink to the parent and they give it to their kid. In Louisiana the server can serve it directly.
  9. Is that Mark? Didn’t know he was at WCB now. He is usually at the Martini Bar! Love him!
  10. We had the same question. Wanted to book our first suite, but couldn’t justify $14k for a SS on a ship that hasn’t been revolutionized. Got an Aqua cabin for half the price so going with that.
  11. You have to call BCC or send them an email
  12. How far before sailing are they taking the $58 off? We have a BCC comped cruise in March and we paid for the insurance. So far not taken off yet. This must be new because we also had sailings last December and March to which we added the $58 and it wasn’t taken off.
  13. We very rarely book specialty restaurants and when we do it’s on board with a discount. We have a cruise in May for our 30th anniversary. Originally booked a SS, but can’t justify $14k for a ship that hasn’t been revolutionized, so we changed to Aqua (which was actually cheaper than a veranda). We decided to eat in specialty twice. I booked on line, made our reservation and paid. If it’s already paid for (gratuity was included) , I won’t be paying another 18% once there will I? Might sound like a stupid question, but as I said, we rarely eat in specialty restaurants, but decided to do 2 since we gave up our suite.
  14. I would’ve taken Aqua also. On one of our future cruises, Aqua was actually cheaper than a Veranda so we booked it. Thought we would give it a try for less $$. We are on Reflection so I understand we can order from the MDR menu, as there are items on that menu that we really like. I think we can also eat in the MDR if we choose……but please correct me if I’m wrong.
  15. We always make reservations because we like to eat around 7 and that’s a busy time. On most of our cruises we were automatically sat at a table for 2 and others we have been asked what we would like. We have never been told no or had to wait.
  16. I have never heard about not having an “absolute right” to a table for 2. We have either been asked the first night when we enter the dining room if we want a table for two or to sit with others. We have also not been asked and were given a table for two. We should absolutely have every right to sit alone at a table for two if we choose 🤷🏻‍♀️
  17. They have not. Only required maintenance, hull painting, and some touch ups being done.
  18. The helipad invitation isn’t guaranteed, but we have always been invited. No special boarding or even special boarding room
  19. It’s really tough to say. On our last cruise the starboard side faced the port most often. We were on the port side and looked at the open water on nearly every port.
  20. Yes. They were on Millennium in August. On premium package
  21. Yes!! My parents just asked my brother and sister in law, along with us, if we would do a cruise with them. Think it will be their last one. I was pushing for a TA from Europe, but they are insisting on a R/T Hawaii cruise. Doesn’t make sense to me because they have been there many times and have said in the past that they have zero interest in going there again. Unfortunately Celebrity doesn’t do this cruise. My parents are strictly Princess cruisers, my brother Carnival, and us, Celebrity. Carnival was mentioned and I’m SO glad they don’t do this particular cruise in the fall, so Princess it is. We have been on Princess before, but love Celebrity more, especially since I am gluten free and the menus specify gf items. The last thing I want to do after being stuffed from dinner is decide what I want to eat the following night. Who knows what they want to eat the next night? Also, the casino on Princess allows smoking. Not good. Sailing with my parents is #1 so I will have to get over it…..…but I sure wish Celebrity offered a R/T LA to Hawaii!
  22. Martinis are $13. Maybe you are seeing a price list from the Silhouette. It is in Europe and has the gratuity built in.
  23. If you have never stayed in one of these cabins you are in for quite a treat!!……if you have then you know what I mean 😂. Have a fabulous cruise!
  24. Should be end of this month or next month. Last year we booked for summer 2023 in October so it has to be coming up soon
