Thanks for the responses! Think we will splurge and go for the Celebrity Suite. Hope it doesn’t ruin us for all future cruises! 😂

Hubby and I are looking at taking our teenage granddaughter on a cruise.  We are looking at the Sky Suite and were wondering if there is a curtain or anything that separates the bed from the sofa bed so that she had a bit more privacy at night.  TIA!

Probably.  Don’t delay.  You need to send in a copy of brokerage statement showing ownership but I would presume that the purchase order would suffice.

 

when next month exactly?

The 22nd. 

My husband and I are doing a B2B cruise next month and I’ve just learned about the OBC for shareholders. If we were to buy 100 shares now, would we be able to get the credit for those cruises?

This isn't a comment on the dress question since I've never tried a reversible dress, but I wonder if the OP could kindly tell us who she is sailing to Australia with -- that's something I want to do!

 

We are going on Celebrity this time. We went in 2018 with Royal Caribbean and had a wonderful trip!

Look at the American Giant website.  It just put up some Tshirt dresses for the Spring/Summer.  I've had a little Black Tshirt dress since 2007 and it's my travel go-to.  Dresses up with jewelry/sweater/scarf or wear with sneakers or sandals.   Nice price point, too. 

 

Every reversible dress I've looked at seemed just heavy and would be hot in the Summer.  I think they are usually polyester, which does not breathe at all.  

Thanks!  Looks like being heavy is a common theme on these dresses…I may wind up just doing two lightweight dresses.

Found this on Travelsmith….

I have liked some of their stuff for travel and comfort.

I can’t specifically speak to this dress, but at least it’s on sale right now. 
 

ETA - I tried to search Magellans also, and found, to my surprise, they are one and the same with Travelsmith.  Interesting.  
 

Found these too…..

Reversible “overpiece”   but looks like it might could be used as a dress

Just tying to help,,,,I love the “hunt” of shopping!! 
Best of luck to you on your search, and have a wonderful time on your amazing trip! 

 

Thanks, I appreciate the help!!

My husband and I are planning a 4 month trip to Australia and NZ and are planning on cruising there from the US. We will be doing a lot of traveling and hiking while in Aus/NZ so want to limit how much luggage we are bringing. Was wondering if anyone has gotten a reversible dress they would recommend? 

Thanks for the responses! The cruise we are looking at actually departs in October 2022, so it doesn’t fall under the Cruise with Confidence.  We’re good with the FCC, minus the $100 pp admin fee.

Question on deposits.  If I were to book a cruise with a non-refundable deposit, could I transfer the deposit to another cruise if we have a change in plans?  I’m fine with not getting a refund, but don’t want to completely lose it if anything changes.  

Anyone know when the fall 2021 repositioning cruises will be our?  Looking for Singapore to Australia cruise options. Thanks!

I checked on line to price it and see if cabins were available prior to calling customer service.  We didn’t change cabins, she just applied the new rates/promotion to the existing reservation.   We already had a non-refundable deposit, but there were no charges for making the change.  

Success!!!  It wound up being $200 cheaper today and the $150 OBC was per person...so a net savings of $500!  

I recently booked a transpacific cruise with three perks (classic drink package, WiFi and gratuities)  but see that I can book it with four perks ($150 OBC, Premium drink package, gratuities and WiFi) for the same price.  This is our first time sailing on Celebrity, we normally go on Royal Caribbean.  Can I call them (we booked directly) and get the better package?  Thanks!

I’m on the ship now...we went back to Miami for a medical emergency, not Norovirus. I think we’re still headed to Cozumel but for a shortened stop.  Waiting to hear the official word...

My husband and I just made Diamond status and I have a question regarding drinks.  I know we have access to the Diamond Lounge and that we have three drinks loaded onto our Seapass card.  Are those three drinks in addition to the drinks at the Diamond Lounge, or are they for use in the Diamond Lounge?  Also, my husband is a Guinness drinker....can he get Guinness with the free drinks?  Thanks!

Can I bring a case of bottled water on board for our cruise?  TIA!

Slight spin off on the question. We just made Diamond as well. Do we have access to theDiamond Lounge and get three drinks loaded on our sea pass card as well? 

If you bid up to a Junior Suite, do you still get double points?

The answer may be there, but I haven’t read through all 148 pages.  Has anyone successfully upgraded making the minimum bid?  Or should I not even bother?

Not on a cruise ship, but we were just staying at Airlie Beach in Australia. We were sitting on our balcony and heard a buzzing and then saw this in front of us.  Hovered for about 30 seconds before taking off.  If it would’ve flown by, it wouldn’t have bothered me at all, but having at hovering in front of us, even though we were just sitting on the balcony, really was creepy. I feel for you, OP!

I just googled the ParaHawking site and passed it to my daughter - she is geeking out over it! I think it's now on the top of her bucket list.

When we went last year, I believe it was open every night. We did sit in the Rita's area every morning for breakfast, was easier getting a seat there than in the Windjammer.

I just changed to MTD for our transpacific cruise in 2018 and gratuities were added when I made the change.
