I’m so sorry to read of your loss. Losing such close members of our family is so hard. We had to make the same decision 4 days ago. Our hearts will always have a gap.

Won’t be cancelling this one. But choosing Celebrity over the other lines we’ve used likely won’t be a thing if they continue to treat customers like we are all dumb.

So now everyone just sits cross legged on the ground on our balconies? What point is paying for an upgraded cabin with a big balcony if there’s no way to actually use and sit on it… We’ve got our first ever Celebrity cruise booked. Now rethinking this choice. I’m not a person who likes to give money to people who treat me like I’m stupid…

Ahhh. I thought your question was about the food… I’m not sure about the cabin location. However have read somewhere that some of those ones can get noise from the deck above. Might be worth googling the cabin number for reviews? I find “Celebrity Aqua (cabin number) review” gets good results.

Pick what appeals to you the most. Reads like you already think Blu would be the better option for you. And maybe accept the food choices on your vacation won’t be the same as you have at home…

I work in an office in a city. There’s the same choice of places to get my lunch from every single work day and I tend to get similar things to eat each day. How is that any different? For breakfast at home I have 3 standard breakfasts. I don’t really expect anything more when on a cruise ship. And looking at the lunch menu now shared on this thread, it looks like it would provide enough choice for me. it’s sad to see someone cancel a whole cruise based on this. But variety (in people) is the spice of our world.

Thanks for the heads up. Went into our future booking and found some discounts. Excursions are just 5% but laundry bag package was 20% off, dining booking for Le Petit Chef was 10% off, and the behind the scenes ship tour was also discounted. Grabbed all of those as I already knew I was going to book them at some point.

Have there been any updates from crew about what the issue is or how long it will take to resolve? 🫣

Thank you!!!!! I’d tried all the advice. THIS is what finally worked. Our two nights of Premier Dining Package are now booked ahead of the cruise, at no charge.

I’ve not seen anyone mention the library before. It looks lovely!

Me too. I’ve tried ALL the ways suggested on here - including deleting my credit card details. Nothing worked to make the booking go through with no charge. So it seems the majority of us with two “free” nights dining have to choose to either pay up front and spend time trying to get it “refunded” on board; or take our chances to get a reservation on board at the day/time we want. 🤔 thinking of all those funds Princess will hold and earn interest on when so many people choose to pay and then claim refund months later…. 🤣

Well at least this has a sparkling Brut. Unlike that Luminae list someone has shared - that shows the only sparkling being a Prosecco - too sweet for me 😜

Thanks. Must be a glitch in mine as it shows a dollar amount and my credit details in both apps and the website when I try. Maybe we are too far out from our cruise (2025). I’ll try again in a few weeks/months.

In the app do you just follow the pathway and hit “reserve” for these? Wasn’t sure if it would then charge me if I did it that way… thanks for any advice, JennT

EDIT: just went back and tried again and now my booking is there in the app. It’s taken 2 days from when I booked and paid the deposit. I’m having the same problem. Booked and paid deposit and get the same messages as you in both the new and old app. We’ve sailed before so the app lets me sign in as me - but I can’t add my booking. if I access the booking by signing into my account online it works and shows my booking that way. Very strange… Will wait another day or so to see if it’s just some synchronisation glitch. JennT

No. You can book Enclave ahead of time on the website under the Spa selections. It’s listed under the “lifestyle” section or something like that…

Ship Majestic Princess Class Royal Deck 12 Aloha Stateroom A421 Category M1 Club Class / Reserve Collection Mini Suite Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern Midship Starboard Connects With Cabin No Accessible No Quiet Yes Balcony Size Average / Small View Normal Privacy Issues Below the lit up walkway so anyone on that can look down and see you on your balcony Wind No Soot No Problems February 2023 - sofa bed was quite dipped towards the centre and not hugely comfortable for sitting on - when the balconies get wet (rain or similar) the water seems to pool from neighbouring balconies onto this one and sits right by the door until it’s either swept away or evaporates Comments

It was two weeks! But yes - those did seem to be at an end too soon…

And… we are home here in Sydney. The view from my balcony is definitely diffferent here to on board. But it includes my gorgeous old man Charlie (dog) so all is right with the world. Happy travels to anyone on board now, or just about to be! 🛳️

There were LOTS of bow ties and special dresses. Was great to see so many enjoying the chance to dress up.

Last night was the second and final formal night for this cruise. We dressed to the nines and went out and had some fun after a busy day in the gym, a massage for me, The Enclave, and the Wake View Bar. Yesterday in the gym it was PACKED. We have been in the gym almost everyday in the cruise and there’s never been more than 5-6 people in there at the same time as us. It seems that yesterday everyone on board decided they needed to get fit and buff for formal night 😉😁 Anyway. It was a lovely relaxing day followed by a delicious dinner in Concerto dining room. Then we popped along to the 9.30pm show which was very colourful. Today is likely to be the same sort of relaxing day. We popped along to the gym early before breakfast today. And it was not as busy but still busier than earlier days in the cruise. currently sitting next to the Hollywood Pool which has quite a swell happening… Wake View Bar cocktails Sun setting at the Wake View Bar We brushed up OK? Escargot Beef Wellington (I asked for mine to be medium - probably should have asked for medium rare) Choc pistachio dome

Balcony breakfast this morning… now I’m going back to bed to recover before my last scheduled massage later this morning 🤤

Yes! Faustinus is definitely the one who came along with his guitar and enthusiasm. I have a video but can’t upload it in here…

Maybe they have had a name change? It’s our first time attending so I don’t know what has happened previously… This is not the wine events listed for pre booking before boarding. It’s a full dinner that you request an invite to after boarding - like the Chef’s Table. The charge for us was $100pp in Australian dollars. Thanks for reading 🙂

Thank you 🙏
