  1. There should be contact information in your cruise documents
  2. Is breakfast at Chops a perk for all Sky level passengers? Is the breakfast menu different there than Coastal Kitchen? I am also confused-- I know Diamond members have drink vouchers but are wine and soda free all day in the Crown Lounge if you are in a Sky-level Suite (and also Diamond)?
  3. Nothing comes close to the high suite prices lately
  4. I was debating whether to wait a few weeks to book while onboard another cruise. Right now the price is too high anyways.
  5. Looking to add a 2 night cruise to our existing 7 night cruise. Is any OBC given for booking a 2-night Royal cruise while onboard? I have a recent Celebrity future cruise paper that, for booking while onboard, only lists OBC incentive for 3-5 night cruises and longer for Celebrity so not sure if it is similar for Royal. Also, would we be eligible for a B2B discount if we add on the 2 night cruise?
  6. The only negative is the very long walk to other parts of the ship (and it is a long walk). Good way to burn off calories though
  7. We were on deck 11. The view was not blocked. It looked like the window washing equipment was on deck 9 or 10
  8. This was just posted on our cruise planner for our May cruise. The description doesn't list a lot of info. How long is the galley tour and what exactly is the lunch experience and where is it held? I remember when galley tours used to be free and listed as a shipboard activity. Are galley tours ever offered for free for Retreat or Elite Plus guests?
  9. I know it depends on the weather etc., but are the transatlantic cruises generally a lot rougher than going from NY to Bermuda? We always found the Bermuda routes worse than the Caribbean with the ship rolling quite a bit. Obviously a transatlantic sailing would be in the same ocean but is ship movement a lot more pronounced? We have sailed from Vancouver to Honolulu 5 sea days in a row and that, surprisingly, was pretty smooth sailing. I am not concerned about being bored on a transatlantic but am more concerned about having to endure 4-5 days of rough waters. Also, if there is a medical emergency in the middle of the Atlantic, how quickly can a person get evacuated?
  10. Room steward (aka Retreat Host) kept us supplied with bottled water in our room without us asking There were different steak options every night in Luminae (short cruise) and they were really good The free sparkling wine (champagne?) was actually decent in the Retreat and Luminae (in our experience it was usually mediocre on past cruises) The production show "Life" was a huge improvement over past production shows Luminae had more chocolate desserts than I remember in the past
  11. On our recent 4 night cruise there was filet mignon, ribeye or other type of steak as one of the entrees each night in Luminae and they were all good. There were also steak frites and filet mignon on two lunch days at Luminae.
  12. Are all the Crown Loft Suites basically the same or are some "better" than others in terms of the room and/or location (on Oasis)? From the deck plans it seems like the ones facing the back don't have a water view like the ones on both sides. Any other differences?
  13. This is from the Celebrity website FAQ Retreat section: Can guests of The Retreat invite friends and family to dine in Luminae? Yes, only guests of The Retreat may invite friends and family to dine at Luminae for an additional fee. Reservations are based on availability only. Can guests staying in a stateroom that adjoins to a suite access The Retreat? No, only guests of The Retreat may access The Retreat.
  14. In Coastal Kitchen, is premium water (such as San Pellegrino) provided for free (as it is in Celebrity's Luminae) or do we need to use our Diamond drink vouchers?
