Creator's Key Takeaways

The number of Center ports could cause complications for guests with limited Mobility or other challenges that make tindering more difficult

Celebrity Cruises is very quietly updated their gratuity program on the frequently asked questions with rates new rates to begin as of July, the 11th

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Investigate whether or not ports of call are tender ports or if they have concerns about accessibility before booking.
βœ“Try to complete the muster drill as soon as you embark to avoid delays later in the day.
βœ“Visit the excursion desk on the first day to clarify if excursions are accessible for scooters or power chairs.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Tendering with mobility devices β€” Check if the tender has a wheelchair accessible ramp and be aware that some tenders require navigating stairs.
Muster drills taking up time β€” Knock out the muster drill first thing on embarkation day so it doesn't interfere with your day on board.
