So I am trying to book my dining in the 4 complimentary restaurants and the planner is giving me fits. I go to book and they are in the cart and I go to add another day and then some are gone. Go back and re-do it and others are gone...sheesh!! Try to check out and nope can't even do that and they want me to call... forget that. I am about to give up. How hard is it to get a seat without a reservations for these on Apex??

While a DL and official birth certificate is sufficient to get on the cruise, if anything was to happen in a port you will not be able to fly back to the USA without a passport.

Bah...only 3-4 day sailings... call me when they are doing 7+ day sailings.

Ahh... ok that makes sense now....

WTF!!!.... Ok so the app has updated and now I can see the menus for our 8 day December sailing on Symphony from Ft Lauderdale and there is no complimentary lobster on Royal night. The nights listed are as follows: Welcome Aboard, A Taste of France, A Taste of the UK, A Taste of the Mediterranean, A Taste of Italy, Welcome to Bon Voyage, Welcome to Royal Night. Only breakfast listed for Day 8. Royal Night main courses are: Lemon-Butter Baked Cod, Chicken Marsala, New York Strip Steak, Cottage Pie, Grilled Jumbo Shrimp, Vegan Stuffed Red Bell Pepper, and Spicy Shrimp Jalfrezi. The only lobster offered is the $16.99 upcharge one or the $34.99 Surf & Turf. What gives here?

The earliest I have ever gotten was 11:30 am, but having a suite we have gotten there 10:30-10:45 and fen then with no line had to wait in the suite lounge until about 11 ish to board.

Exactly my point as above... if you are in Cozumel, The Bahamas, St Maarten and you miss the ship for whatever reason and you have to fly back to the US, the copy does you no good. And PLEASE get travel insurance or you will be paying out of pocket for everything to get you back home with no reimbursement.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PASSPORT!!!! If something happens and you are stuck in port and you only have a copy, it is useless. If the ship leaves and they did not get your passport out of your locked safe then you are screwed. You will have to go to the US embassy in the country you are in and get an emergency passport so that you can get back to the states. You can not re-enter the USA with just a photo ID or a copy of your passport.

Wow that was bad... we do have some afternoon weather here in Florida to contend with, but this was over the top.

Brett is nothing to worry about... it will be small and of little impact to the regions.

If you go with an Oasis class you will be spoiled and no other will do after that.

The only time we got sick was from drinking water at CocoCay!

Anyone else here Leslie Ann Warren and Tim Curry in their heads with the music in the background as they read that?

That is what we all have been wondering for several months now...I have a sailing booked on Freedom for Dec 7-15 2024.

Well I kinda am obligated to do so... but it was no big deal she was fine just in pain.

On our last Symphony cruise I had to witness a code alpha and help until medical staff arrived. The young girl in her 20's twisted her ankle and fell done the musical stairs outside the windjammer. She was in quite a bit of pain but doubtful for any fracture.

I waited a few weeks after I hit Diamond to even register with Celebrity and there was no issue at all.

Keep Mama Mia...Get rid of Cats on Oasis. Replace it with anything. I would rather see a elementary school talent show.

That is what I do. But for next year I have 2 backup cruises booked to cover if the Freedom sailing is cancelled.

This would be formal.

I don't get to formal but I do wear something like this to dress it up a bit.

Still nothing on this...I have 2 back up cruises booked for this. I wonder how long they will wait to tell us that this is cancelled so that we can move on.

ok less than 6 months to go now!!

Yup that is the delima... I have a 3 night dining pkg and don't care to do the Mex, French or Italian night.

Oh I know what the menu options are...its just I don't know what theme is going to be on which days... I am trying to plan my speciality dining and I know which themes I want to skip I just don't know what days those are going to be.
