Not sure if you have met any of the bartenders on board but these guys actually come from some impressive backgrounds and take pride in their positions. After booking these classes multiple times...Mixology 101, Caribbean Mixology, the Martini Masterclass.. even the Riedel Glassware Course, it started me on a journey of perfecting cocktails. I already cook and bake but felt why not learn to make the best tasting drinks possible for all my friends and family! The funny thing is people seem to discount the fact that it started with these classes on board. Not only are these employees sometimes sought after for their talent, but these classes are professional and fun. This is a simple one but seems only fitting as I was introduced to the drink a few months ago at Cafe Al Bacio, even though I had been there many times before on Reflection, but only enjoyed their Espresso Martini's. It is called a Carajillo - A cocktail made by combining a shot of espresso with an equal parts measure of Licor 43, a sweet Spanish vanilla-and-citrus liqueur.... Cheers!

We are sailing with about 10 couples and half are new to cruising and did not get Drink packages so I decided to purchase the DBP to be able to give our diamond drinks to some of the others. Anyway, I have read in the past that your Vouchers are yours to do with what you please, is that an absolute fact? When I order, should I announce that my diamond drink, is going to one of the other people I am with to avoid any problems. I am pretty specific anyway when I order to make sure they take it from my diamond etc. I appreciate any info, or anyone who has done this before. Usually if we sail with others, they are also either Diamond or purchase the package.

If you had the Original Card, You can still view your pending points etc. on the BOA site but the new redemption options are now done directly on the cruise lines site. If you have multiple booked on that line, its shows all your reservations and gives you the option to just click and choose, nice and simple. You can now also apply (as shown in photo) various amounts as long as over $50.00, so you can use and or deplete all points down to the penny. And the last nice change is the redemption takes place in under an hour. I know its not the greatest travel card out there, but if you use it, these changes (besides the new benefits of more points, priority boarding etc.) are pretty good. P.S. If you have the Royal One and Royal One Plus, there is an option under the photo which says "Change Card" to change and then pull points from either.

For those wondering if it actually works or how you do it, I just did and it was simple. I found the online form and filled it out weeks before I even got onboard. Here are my points applied from Captains Club/Celebrity now showing on my Crown & Anchor/Royal. Here is the link, you can pull it from any of the three lines pages. Loyalty Points Transfer

I have only done them on Reflection but always have a very nice time, meet other friendly passengers and have always found them to be professional and informational besides fun! If you have some onboard time, I recommend these ship excursions offered online or in the app!

She may have a little age on her, but for me, its always an awesome experience with awesome crew!

My wife and I are turning a special birthday (I cant say) but we don't look it or act it! We are two weeks apart exactly and the same age. Anyway, she is super creative and sent us this puzzle in the mail today (as a hint of our present) to open and put together... I saw it right away.. can you? P.S. she made it herself! I will post it complete later on.

I used to use this when I was much younger, I still have this tube.. it must be like 20 years old or something. Anyway, I and am about to take a cruise and will be in the sun. I don't wear shorts anymore when out and my legs are so white they are glowing 🤣🤣🤣 but I do tan easy. I am looking for something similar, this was perfect, it tanned you and gave you an SPF of 15 so I could tan even more laying in the sun with it, plus it was for your face so wouldn't clog pores/make you break out . Any Ideas from this self tanning community? Thanks so much!
