Thank you. Is the $9.95 per person ( so $19.90 for two orders) or is it $9.95 for the entire delivery?

I tried to search for this info, but couldn’t find it. My apologies if it has been answered before. If we order room service for breakfast is it still complimentary or is there now a $9.95 fee? If it’s complimentary does that just apply to a continental breakfast or does include hot egg dishes also? If we don’t do room service I’m gathering that breakfast in the main dining room is only available sea days? The other options would be the buffet or Eden? Same for lunch, with the addition of the Mast grill? Thanks

Thank you for your response. I don't have the same offers. I wonder if it’s because we are different tiers. I suspect my account is still messed up. Any Amethyst tiers cruisers out there? What was your latest offer?

Thanks for the info and the tip on Zeus. I’ll definitely try it. And I will seek out the casino host. I usually get the drink package but since we are Elite (amethyst in the casino) I’m trying to figure if I can get away without it. I rather use the cash on the slots lol. 0n RCCL if you are in the prime casino tier the drinks are comped directly from the casino bar as well as by the floor servers, so I thought it might work the same on Ascent. Congratulations on your hand pay!

Craft Social is just outside the casino and its servers take drink orders from people actively gambling and those drinks are free. However I found on the Beyond that the servers circulating in the casino were few and far between. If you don’t want to wait for a server, can you go up to the bar, tell them that you are gambling and get a free drink to take back into the casino? If not, how has the bar service been in the casino while playing on Ascent?

Thank you! Good to know

Thank you for your response. Last questions: are mimosa and/or bloody Mary’s served free of charge at the elite breakfast? What time is it usually held? This will be my first time using Elite perks so I’m not sure how they work. Thanks for your patience

I thought that Elite comped drinks were only available between 5-7 in bars. Are they also available ( mimosas and Bloody Marys)at the Elite breakfast? Is there a separate venue for the Elite breakfast? Is that daily? Also someone mentioned buying a bottle of wine with the elite discount at dinner. Do you have to specify the discount when you order it or is it applied automatically. Thanks

Thanks. Oh well. As least the drink package and WiFi are still perks.

Oh. The description on BCC said access to VIP lounge which I assumed was the Retreat lounge on E class ships. I guess not 😞

Two cruises coming up on these ships. Do they have the same table minimums? Anyone have an idea of the minimums for each ship on 3 card poker, craps? Roulette? Do the minimums change depending on afternoon or evening play? Thanks

Thanks, but I’ve tried that. I have some offers but my husband, who is a lower a tier at onyx, gets a lot more offers than I do at amethyst

Nope

Disappointing. Btw I’m from NY and also have an upcoming cruise on the Ascent: 1/28/2024

I’m currently amethyst but hoping to make Sapphire midway into my upcoming 1/28/2024 cruise. Do you know if I will get the sapphire perks right away or will I need to wait until my next sailing? I have a cruise scheduled for 3/2024. Hopefully my Sapphire status will be documented by the . How do the perks work? Does your sea card automatically give you the classic package and allows entry into the retreat lounge? Thanks

That was not my experience on the Beyond 10/2022. It was 4 of us, all adults. We generally eat late. There was a huge line, 45 minute wait, at 8pm. Maybe because it was a transatlantic that made a difference? Maybe an older crowd with not children tends to eat later? On the Edge 1/2023 it was just 2 of us, and no significant lines, but it wasn’t a sold out cruise. My upcoming 1/2024 cruise on the Ascent is pretty much sold out, so I’m concerned.

Were people without reservations waiting while you got seated since you had a reservation?

When you were seated, had there been a line of people waiting that didn’t have reservations?

I completely agree with you. I’ve been checking the app morning noon and night trying to make these reservations. I finally made 5 of them just to find out I wasted my time. When I was on the Beyond the wait on line was 45 minutes. People were not happy and the poor staff bore the brunt of it

Thanks. Ugh I was hoping for a different answer

Thanks for your reply. I know about not being able to have the traditional fixed seating. But the app did allow me to make several AnyTime dining reservations at a variety of times on different dates. Will these be honored?

The last time I was on the Beyond I had a traditional seating time but once onboard I was told that it wouldn’t be honored and dining was basically first come first served. Everyone waited on the same long line. . Now I’m scheduled to board Ascent in a few weeks. I was assigned Select Dining and was able to make a few reservations via the app. Will they be honored? Is there a separate line at the dining room for people with reservations? Thanks

Yup. I have some bids pending on the Ascent. 32 days before sailing there were 26 suites of all types available. The next day most were gone and people were reporting successful bids on CC. Unfortunately I wasn’t one of them. Now, 24 days out, the cruise is sold out and isn’t even listed on their website. My only hope is last minute cancellations (which do happen)

Thank you for your response. The minimum of the Ascent is 785pp. I bid close to that and the needle didn’t move, as weak as weak can get! Yes the Ascent sky suites are very expensive in my opinion. But it looks like it is a beautiful ship so I think I’ll be very happy in my original cabin. Hope you have a wonderful cruise!

Congratulations! I will also be in a sunset veranda but on the ascent. I put in bids on a sunset sky suite and an Aqua sky suites still waiting to hear. May I ask what the minimum bid was and how much you bid over the minimum if you don’t mind sharing that information? I’m just trying to see if I have any shot. Thanks
