Madness. The stress and fatigue from arriving on departure day from an overnight flight would be enormous. The first 24-48 hours of your cruise would be very difficult to enjoy as you recover. As a retired airline pilot I can tell you that delays are not just an Air Canada thing. There are a myriad of reasons why summer air travel can go off the rails quickly. Get in to BCN early and enjoy a great city.

If you have fixed dining in one restaurant, does that mean the same dining partners or just a guarantee to be able to walk in and sit at the reservation time? Can you see the menus for the other three restaurants to maybe have a main course from one of them brought in to your restaurant?

Hey guys London is just over an hour away by train. The trains leave every 30 minutes. They are very cheap. Why not enjoy another day in London instead of shufffling off to S’Hampton?

My app changed to Elite + on Celebrity almost immediately but on the website I am still showing Elite. Does anyone else have this situation?

I am on Apex for the Trans Atlantic west bound this October. Were there a lot of lectures in the theatre to fill the seas days? Was the entertainment repetitive or did they have extra performers to provide variety on such a long cruise? I have 6 pm seating as well. What time did the theatre shows start? Thanks!

We will in Coz on the BOTS this November. Which of the above beach clubs do you think best?

Okay sports fans what happens in a loyalty program merger in this case? You’re Diamond Plus on Royal. You are closing in on Elite Plus on Celebrity. Way up on both lines so a lot of points earned on a lot of cruises on both brands. If a merge were to happen, would loyalty to both brands be recognized by adding up both point amounts to put you at or near Pinnacle level? Or would you be kind of shortchanged and given a Diamond Plusy level? Asking for a friend!

Na it’s just AI man.

If they were to merge, how would they handle a cruiser with significant amounts of points in both programs? For example, I am Diamond Plus on Royal and almost Elite Plus on Celebrity. Would I stay second level in both programs and gain very little or add them together and all of a sudden I am or almost am Pinnacle? I dunno.

Elites get 30% off a wifi package plus 90 mins of premium wifi. On a 12 day cruise, could you use the 90 mins on the first three days (to check email) then buy a prorated- so nine day- 30% off wifi package for the rest of the cruise?

App shows the lunch menu with filet. The dinner menu is much more extensive with osso bucco, a different steak cut, etc.

$16 each- gratuity included- for a Giovanni’s lunch eight ounce filet mignon? Count me in. Just booked two lunches on BOTS this November.

Jeez I think if you are buying tickets for 18 you get whatever you want for dinner table setup! Two adjacent 8-tops with an additional kid squeezed in at each table would be what I would shoot for. Maybe change seats each night.

Diamond Plus gets a BOGO specialty dining discount which is booked onboard day 1. The Key has a 20% specialty dining discount which is also booked onboard day 1. Do the two combine? For example if Chops is $50, would the charge be 20% less using both discounts?
