Since I'm C&A points chasing, I have no desire to book Celebrity. However, I would book Celebrity in a heartbeat if I got C&A points for it.

Yes, this happens for everyone. Especially key for getting on/off the ship. But looking at a photo isn't biometric data.

We don't even know what it actually means to opt in or even out of biometrics.

Good. I'd worry you'd get a couple skimpy 1 ounce pours and not even net a single full glass.

Is the wine tasting even worth it?

The math says this is likely to have a sad ending.

I did the password change and was able to log into the app.

I honestly don't think it matters one way or the other no matter what options you select for your photo.

The pool will take a while to fill up on boarding day.

Yuck. I like my 5 "any bar, just about any drink" perks a lot better than this

A good note here to make a copy of what you itemized on the Wash and Fold sheet so you remember how much of what you sent in.

The check-in time, while supposed to be a fixed time, is really just a "no earlier than" time and even just a suggestion. Just go enjoy your day and show up at the port when you're ready to board. But just make sure you take note of the all aboard time, which may not have changed from your original itinerary.

I assume they use a no scent detergent (which makes sense). Combined with the desalinized water that they probably don't re-mineralize since it's just for laundry, that's probably what I'm smelling. Again not a bad smell, just not a fresh smell.

I'm not bidding. I'd bid on an OS on a different class where the balcony size isn't cut in half. We've done the 2BRGS on this ship before. Nice room, but we've got a nice GS on the hump this cruise, so no real need to upgrade.

The email came on Monday This was my email for upgrade options from a GS

Yes, there are a couple owner's suites still open. My upgrade price (currently in a GS) is $500 ($250x2) I don't see any 2 BR GS open, but those rarely are this late.

That's a bucket list item of mine: be in a position to book a last minute cruise.

@Neesa What kind of cabin are you in? There may not be anything for you to upgrade to

I got a RoyalUp email right at day 60

No. You'd just get the benefits that Celebrity's Elite status gets.

Nothing for my 2026 Star

I never had any issues with music volume, unless it was some putz passenger with a bluetooth speaker.

Every time I scroll past that photo I think the guy in the background is holding a Jaegermeister bottle in the same hand as his champagne. But it's just a bottle of water and some sort of notecard/leaflet playing eye tricks on me.
