Certainly not a guarantee that the cruise won't ultimately be canceled, given they'll need time to re-staff the ship and get all the guidelines from the Healthy Sail Panel codified. But a step that inspires a certain level of hope. I wasn't connecting to restart, but the migration of the 2.0 to the Celebrity app. As this is the first cruise window that's opened for us (that the app actually connects), it was cool to see the link to the muster video. The video was in Chinese which was entertaining. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Just got the message. Our 22 Nov 20 Edge itinerary was cancelled. We'll just take the 125% FCC and move it to the next cruise. JLMoran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob_KY Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Wow. What a wait. Michelle, MEI, just booked us on a Celebrity Alaska Cruise on the Solstice, July 2022 (S1 Sky Suite). As posted before, this will be our first Celebrity Cruise. I will have a whole bunch of rookie questions. BTW, started my spreadsheet this morning. Kudos to Michelle. Cue music for my happy dance.

So unless Celeb shortens it - not legally possible for it to go at this time. As the RCL group has cancelled through 28 Feb 21 - in my mind, an 8 March 7 day to the southern Caribbean isn't happening as a number of the ports have not announced re-opening. Its toast! Next ones are a B2B on Infinity mid June '21 from Venice. Might be possible if the big "V" gets distributed fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRC Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Tring to convince the wife to take the transpacific back from Tokyo to the US in Apr 23 but I am getting a lot of fight on this. I think it will be pushed to Apr 2024... Although NCL has a much better itinerary on the Tokyo --> US cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, we'll have an extinct cruise industry anyway. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking at either the Deluxe Porthole View with Verandah or Edge Stateroom with Infinite Verandah. I figure we won't be in the cabin much so the extra $200 for the second one may be better spent elsewhere... AnnetteJackson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 3 hours ago, KathyC said: Deluxe Porthole View with Verandah My brain hurts after reading this. Isn't a porthole view a basic ocean view cabin with no verandah? Doesn't a verandah cabin always have no window / porthole and just the sliding glass door to the verandah? If it has a porthole, isn't on a deck too low to have a verandah? KathyC, emmef and USCG Teacher 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 That's... a verandah? Looks fully enclosed apart from the (admittedly large and half-open) porthole. Does it satisfy the nautical definition if not the traditional land one? Look, @Lovetocruise2002 is a suite snob. I'm a verandah snob. emmef and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much smaller than our opening on Adventure of the Seas LOL I don't know that I want to spend $200 more on the regular balcony for a group cruise - I don't know how much time we're spending in the cabin.

cruisellama Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Edge & Apex are commanding higher prices than the S and M class ships. Not sure where that infinite veranda is located, but if it might have an additional window on the wall facing toward the bow or stern if its on a pushed out area. (The Sky Suites between the Magic carpet rail on outer most bow and stern side have an additional bow or stern facing window.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyC Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 We ended up with Concierge Class. It was cheaper than an infinite veranda. JLMoran and cruisellama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisellama Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Final payments for our B2B June Med cruises are coming up this month and have questions that can't be answered yet... - Is there a vaccine requirement? Does Celebrity require pre-cruise testing? Are there restrictions on B2B cruising in Europe (is testing required after 1st cruise)? We know the CDC requires testing prior to air travel return to the states - will there be a line sponsored / referred test availability? Will American require quarantine before entering Italy for embarkation? Haven't seen Celebrity guidance on shore excursion restrictions yet - expecting to require all excursions through line - but nothing published. Will be asking our TA to push final payments back as far as possible... But I'm not optimistic about getting answers to our questions.
