PSU Posted July 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Our extended family booked next year’s June 23, 2024 cruise before it was announced as the President’s cruise. Our four cabins are in the Retreat. All the years we have been cruising Celebrity, we have never been on a President’s cruise. Can any enlighten me as to what to expect. Thanks so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTShaker Posted July 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2023 All crew and departments will be on their best behaviour, all beverages will be in stock, and the buffet will have a full complement of stations. Can't have the boss see any slip-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatonDoolittle Posted July 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I have no personal experience, but it would seem like a good idea to make specialty dining reservations early, if you are planning such an event. You know all the VIPs are not likely to dine with the masses like some ship officers do on a normal cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many questions about this, but I'll wait a bit for those. But first, I'd like to link CC's own article on President's cruises, where the one on X that just disembarked was highlighted: https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-about-a-presidents-cruise Now, to those questions: 1. How did you find out about this cruise? 2. What ship is it on? 3. Is it available to book? 4. Any special guests announced yet? 5. Any special activities or excursions announced yet? Thank you in advance for satisfying my curiosity. I'm sorry about the lack of answers (except for the link).

bikerunner Posted July 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2023 It was great optics that the new president was on the Presidents cruise this week while the crap of redeploying the Beyond and screwing over 1000s of customers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I booked, I didn’t know it was a Presidents cruise. It is on Beyond and available to book. This cruise is going to Perfect Day at CocoCay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted July 1, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I wish that they would sail in the cheap seats instead of the largest suite on the ship to see how useless most of Kelly’s designs are. Also to see how good or bad the infinite balconies really are. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It figures that it would go to PD@CC, since getting permission to go there was her first big project since being appointed President. I wonder if that rock star Kate will be onboard as the Captain, or if perhaps they'll bring her in as a special guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be super careful here...I really don't get the hype for seeing her or Bug the cat. To be fair, I've never given a hoot about any of the cruise ship captains and I'm married to a man who is retired Navy, didn't care about his captains when on sea duty either 🤪 It was a sailing just like any other with any other captain, imo. It's great to see a female captain in 2023 but Beyond that, (pun inteneded 😉) She navigated a ship and kept us afloat. No disrespect for her accomplishments, just curious.

She was less of a rock star then. I get her appeal - she's pretty, she can be funny, she's visible, she's easy to understand, and she's not obviously incompetent. I wouldn't mind sailing with her again, though I'm not rushing to do so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
