Unless there's a ROI to update their IT, they're not going to invest in it.

When is your cruise? While I didn't experience this deal, I was offered free Hideaway passes on a casino offer that I booked. It wasn't until within a month of my sailing that I noticed in the Cruise Planner that Hideaway was showing reserved and I had an order history entry showing a $0 purchase for it. It may be something they manually push later when it is closer to the cruise.

I got an email pre-cruise that I didn't have access to the Retreat Lounge for this sailing. I haven't tried the door to see if it was coded to work with my room key, though. I am enjoying the unlimited laundry privileges a bit, especially since next week I'm flipping over to Royal with 4/3 night sailing so I won't have the free wash and fold bag at my disposal. I got invited to the Zenith lunch and the Concierge level helipad sailaway party. So far I'm really seeing the value in the status match at this level. It's a shame that solo pricing isn't friendly, but I'm getting around that through casino comps. Big plus that the casino is non-smoking as well.

I did not know this! I usually sleep through breakfast but a bacon and coffee wakeup call is always welcomed!

Do you know if you have to make the purchase in the Cruise Planner? I'm seeing the $0 cost but assumed it would just be automatically added when I boarded without making the purchase. I'm on Constellation next week for my first stab at a Celebrity sailing since turning Pinnacle and I haven't experienced as a Pinnith yet

This site's sponsoring travel agency is MEI-Travel (https://mei-travel.com/). They have a lot of agents who have a wide variety of experience with different cruise lines. If you reach out to them and request someone that focuses on Celebrity, they can assign you an appropriate agent. There's never any obligation to work with whomever you contact and if you aren't happy with a particular agent you can request a different one. You can email [email protected] or call their main office at 425.396.7505.

They give those that purchase these transfers the same luggage tag numbers and you put your luggage out the night before. Then when your tag number is called you get off the ship and pick your luggage up and take it to the bus.

Looks like @Matt needs to get his staff on that ship to make a ship tour video! I have sailed on Explorer. She's a great ship. I just recently even read a Facebook post of someone that wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as they did, and we all know how negative those Facebook group posts can be! Explorer is part of the Voyager class ships, so watching the Adventure of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas tours would give you an idea of what to expect with respect to layout and amenities.

It's pretty new. You use the wifi icon in the Royal app and it will connect you if you have a package already without you needing to create a login/password. The app recognizes you have a package and just connects you. Then you can generate a code for another device to use your wifi access that way. If you don't have a package you have to create the account first, but then you can just go through the app to share the code. The other person would just use the app on their device and enter the code when prompted. It was pretty neat and seamless until I went to use my laptop. Then I had to either create an account or get my app to generate a code to use from the login website.

I am booked on this one through a casino instant certificate! It will be my mom and brother joining me this time.

I am on this one along with @CHart and @mashley1021 and a handful of other RCL Blog Group Cruisers.

They may still be scheduled to go there, but it may not be a port stop where passengers can get off the ship. They have been making stops and doing deliveries of supplies to Falmouth since the storm.

I got it and I have sailed Celebrity before. No offers for me on Blue Chip either. I've gotten the pop-up before from the Celebrity app too, and never any offers when I check my Blue Chip page.

Sunset usually means these are aft rooms on the very back of the ship that would have a view of the ship's wake.

This is how they typically do it. However, sometimes they will insist that if you booked with the package you are limited to the prix fixe deal and only allow that. When you make the reservations on the ship you aren't pre-paying and you can opt for ala carte.
