On the S-class ships, the mid-ship cabins that are on the "angle" of the hump, either facing forward or facing aft have larger a larger balcony than the regular veranda cabins on the sides of the ship. Depending on the deck, those cabins are either prime concierge (deck 9 & 10 aft facing), deluxe veranda (decks 7 & 8 forward and aft facing, deck 9 forward facing) or prime aquaclass (deck 11 forward facing). The largest balconies are the 1st and 3rd cabins off the straight portion of the hump. For example, the balcony for 9292 is larger than 9296 which is larger than 9294 and 9298. The cabins themselves are the same size regardless of the location or the category. If you have an interest in the accumulation of Captain's Club points, you receive 5 points/night for AQ and Concierge cabins whereas you receive 3 points/night for veranda cabins.

I generally pick up water at Cafe Al Bacio and take it back to my cabin. I ask my cabin attendant to empty the mini-fridge the first day so we can keep water and other beverages chilled.

Celebrity’s Best price Guarantee policy is explained here: https://www.celebritycruises.com/company/customer-support/best-price-guarantee “For a request submitted after the due date of final payment AND the booking is within 48 hours from creation, the following applies: Request for a Lower Cruise Fare Celebrity will apply an onboard credit to the booking in the amount of 100% of the difference in price. Request to Add or Change an Added Value Offer Celebrity will 1) apply an Added Value Offer to booking and 2) go to prevailing eligible cruise fare NOTE: If either the new cruise fare or Added Value Offer is not combinable with any promotion associated with the existing booking, or changes are being made outside of promotional booking window, the existing promotion will be removed from the booking. No refund or exchange will be given on a promotion offer (added value) NOTE: An Added Value Offer refers to an amenity added to your booking, such as an onboard credit, specialty dining, shore excursion, etc.”

There is a policy regarding price adjustments after final payment - this is an excerpt: ” For a request submitted after the due date of final payment AND the booking is within 48 hours from creation, the following applies: Request for a Lower Cruise Fare Celebrity will apply an onboard credit to the booking in the amount of 100% of the difference in price.

I am not sure what you are asking I can see my reservations in my account when I am logged in. And I can search for flights by accessing Flight by Celebrity through “Manage Reservation”. However, it is no longer possible to get to Flights by Celebrity through a “dummy booking” or the Flights by Celebrity link without accessing my reservation. In the past, I aaa able to search for flights without actually being in my reservation, which was important when I was trying to check on flight availability and pricing after having booked flights. I am guessing that this is a result of the cruise being sold out/oversold. But I don’t know whether that is, in fact, the explanation. Has anyone else been unable to access Flights by Celebrity from the website when the cruise isn’t visible on the Celebrity website and you aren’t logged in your account and without creating a dummy booking.

The policies that the Trip Insurance Store offers also provide for a waiver of pre-exiting condition if purchased soon after booking. Having just done this, the window was on the order of 20-21 days.

I have purchased insurance through TripInsuranceStore.com. I generally enter my cruise info on their website so that i can see my options. I then call and ask any questions I have about the policies and finalize my purchase over the phone. I have worked with Steve, Deanna and Kim for years and have always been happy with their service. Two points of information that are worth mentioning: When I purchase the policy, I paid for the minimum amount of insurance (typically $500 pp) so that my nonrefundable deposit was covered, and I added insurance coverage as I incurred additional nonrefundable expenses. We were also able to transfer the insurance policy from one cruise to another, when we decided to cancel a cruise (prior to final payment) and book a different cruise. I highly recommend checking their website (tripinsurancestore.com) and calling them (888-407-3854) if you are investigating your options.

When actually booking flights through the “Manage Reservation”, you have to select the passengers so you could book flights for one passenger at a time. if you book flights that say “no risk”, you can cancel anytime prior to final payment and no money is owed. If you make final payment and then cancel flights, I believe the penalty if $200 pp.

Thank you! I will try that approach. In the past, after I booked flights, I still wanted to see if something better/cheaper came available. So the ability to create a quote was useful. I never had a cruise (actually two cruises) disappear from the website before. So, that has me scratching my head.

And generous shop card for bookings made with or transferred to them (within 30 days of booking online).

In some situations, the “Get a Quote” approach doesn’t work, as I just discovered this week. Two of my upcoming cruises are not showing up on the celebrity website so the “Get a Quote” doesn’t work. You can only see flights by working through your cruise reservation’s “Manage Reservation” link. I am wondering whether, once flights have been added to your reservation, the only way to “see” new alternative flights is to call Flights by Celebrity. I hope that isn’t the case.

In the past, I found that coach tickets were not cheaper when booked through Flights by Celebrity. However, the savings on Business Class tickets has been significant. Being able to cancel or change flights prior to final payment, and not having to pay for the airline tickets until final payment has been a big reason for purchasing airline tickets through Flights by Celebrity. We have been able to connect the reservations to our frequent flyer accounts and select seats through the airline website too. It has worked well for us in most respects. The only downside for me was not being able to use my airline credit card to pay for the tickets because my TA doesn't accept AMEX. But I can live with that minor issue.

The airline and flight options change often closer to your sailing date. I have had that experience more than once. I changed flight reservations a number of times for some cruises, moving from one airline to another because of new options. I have just started looking for flights for next March/April. Only Air Canada and United flights are available at this time. I am confident that American Airlines and Delta flights will be available at some point. Be prepared to check for better flights and lower fares. The problem I have run into in the past is that the Flights by Celebrity website didn’t display real time pricing. So, a phone call was always necessary to confirm availability of flights/fares. Quite often, the fare shown on the website wasn’t available when I called Flights by Celebrity. But persistence paid off and I was able to get the flights I wanted for each of my cruises.

In the past, AQ class guests had their choice of pillows from a “pillow menu”. You can ask about that when you are in you cabin. I have requested firm pillows and our cabin attendant brought them to the cabin.
