Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted November 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I last sailed Celebrity just before covid. Upon embarkation the heavy fire doors to the rooms remained locked Until approximately 1:30. I just read a review saying you should go to your room immediately upon embarkation to drop off carryons and pick up room key. Has the process changed? Will rooms be immediately available to drop off carryons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the process has changed, and yes rooms are accessible immediately but might not be fully ready. i.e. drop off what you need and give the crew room to complete their tasks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The current process is you use your express pass to get on the ship. Once on the ship you can go immediately to your room where you will find your SeaPass in the mail slot adjacent to your room. You can drop off your luggage and put things in the safe but they ask you to remain in the common areas while they finish off preparing your room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. B. Posted November 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2022 You need to do the Lifeboat Drill either on the App or on the cabin TV then go to the Actual Muster location for your cabin area (it's on your Sea Pass Card) and check in with a crew member before the ship can sail. Beats putting on the bulky Life Vest and standing outside by your designated Life Boat (It's a Tender until the ship is sinking?) like we had to do in the Old Days....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me that you could actually do the Lifeboat Drill from the App on the day of departure before you board the ship. Is this true? I realize you sill have to check in with a crew member at the designated muster area, though. Glad there is no need to put on the life vest.

You can watch the video from anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted November 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Not sure how soon (maybe 24 hours) you complete the safety videos in the app but we do them the morning of embarkation day. I could of sworn I once did them the day before, perhaps someone else can chime in. The muster station has been a mixed bag, we've watched everything in the app where the items have been shown "complete" in app. Get to the muster station and the crew says they can't see that we completed it yet checks us off anyways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has not been mandatory on most ships for a while now. Though it never hurts to put it on in the cabin to make sure you know a) where it is, b) that you have sizes needed for all in your cabin, and c) know how to put it on.

Some do it at the terminal while waiting to board. I know you can do it at the terminal not sure if any WiFi would do. Checking in with the Muster station only takes a minute or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our most recent cruise it looked like I was able to complete the muster drill on the app the night before so I did so. Then it showed as not completed shortly after we were on the ship and I needed to do it again prior to check in at the muster station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturngrl Posted November 10, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 10, 2022 On our Reflection cruise last November, we reviewed the Muster videos on the app at breakfast at our hotel in Delray Beach on the morning of embarkation. Worked just fine for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I make sure to wear it to dinner the first night, so I'd have no problem with it should the need arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spielerin Posted November 11, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 11, 2022 On my last cruise, the videos would not register until a countdown timer had started in the app. You could watch before, but it didn’t count until the timer was active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
