Dirty Martini with Titos before dinner Snowflake after dinner (Absolut Vanilla, White Chocolate, Heavy Cream, Creme Cocoa)

I was on the Ascent during one of the pre maiden sailings and they had pickleball in the location stated above. I do remember that the turnout was more than expected and they had to cancel one of the events since it was too many people gathering in the small area

My husband always packs a 10-foot cord and has never had it confiscated for use with his cpap. Ask your room steward to tape it down to reduce trip hazard.

My first BCC offer I used was this past June on Apex and was able to upgrade to Sky for a very low price. I am taking advantage of the most recent offer on the Summit since I will be in Florida on business. To upgrade to a balcony for the 5 nighter was the same price that I paid on the Apex for a 10 nigher. Since I was planning on taking a cruise anyway, I took the offer (better than nothing) I also received offers for RCL, which was a complementary inside/oceanview for 1 passagener with a discount for a second occupancy.

I was in a MC-Sky Suite during the first preview cruise. I did have all the perks, so I was not reliant on going to the lounge for drinks as I have done in the past. When I have won a move-up bid to a Sky when I did not have drink package or only the classic, I used the lounge for drinks A LOT 🙂 (grab and go for soft drinks, water, premium coffee). By the second night, they knew what I typically liked to order. We like dinning in Luminae and the retreat deck is not a noisy as the rest of the outdoor spaces. Like most would say, if you like you current room (sunset veranda) then I would stay put.

Does anyone know when the Black Friday Drink Packages end. I need to speak with a agent since my hisband does not drink so I need to purchase one alcholic and one non-alcholic which I can only due by calling.

We are on our way out to see.

I did see a person walking around deck 4 filming with a professional style microphone attached to his phone. Likely a YouTuber/influencer.

My last cruise I did not have the drink package when in a Suite. The first two days I was not asked for my card on the Sundeck but day three they did. I just went downstairs for my drink (got those extra steps in). Like others, we would stock up on water and soda from the lounge for our room, grab a drink before or after dinner.

I will ask my question here instead starting a new thread. I am approaching amethyst but I noticed that my BCC status is not listed on my xpass for my cruise next week (my husbands is), should I fix this before boarding or is this something I can handle onboard.

I will be on the 4 nighter too. I will do my best to share as well.

If it were me, I would go with the Reflection. As you stated, Reflection has the better itinerary. I would rather visit places that peak my interest. That was one of the reasons I switched to Celebrity years ago. I am about to cap out on Celebrity ports and will be on the lookout for other lines that offer interesting and unique itineraries . Don't get me wrong, I love the newer ships, but I can only visit the same location so many times

I had to look up when I joined. I was not a Celebrity cruiser in those early days, all the cool kids were on Carnival 😆.

I submitted for my three upcoming cruises last week and took about 5 days for a response. the was a third attempt for one of the cruises. This time around I highlighted the share row / my name and redacted everything else to make it stand out.

I was surprised at the low costs myself. I am already in a suite and have the AI package. the only benefit for me for the Aqua Class Suite would be the spa pass and access to Blue . Since these classes are already sold out, it would take others to move up to free up the rooms.

No 😞 . I was already in a Sky and was bidding on a higher room.

My Last cruise on Apex was a comp room but I paid to upgrade. I did not receive an option to place a bid within the alloted time frame, less than 21-days I contacted the Move-up email address mentioning I could not place a bid. Within an hour I was able to place a bid ( received an email response 5-days later telling me that they see my reservation could place bids.

I can confirm that Blue Chip Casino booking does not include AI. Worked out for us as DH does not drink and we purchased 1 premium wifi with captins club discount. Every now and again I have seen Sky listed with no perks.

Agree with this statement. During my booking I was able to select seats for United but not Air Canada.

This will be our first cruise with my DH sailing with an Ostomy (and flying International). I am just looking for any advice. We plan to bring more than enough supplies (carry and packed). I checked out Ostomry.org helpful hints to have a base to start from. We will be sailing through Scandinavia on Celebrity.

I was able to use the Peloton bikes with no issues on the Infinity this past February. The first time I did go to the front desk to ask if I had to sign up. They only asked if I had my own account and I was able to use the bikes with no major problems during the week. Since I only use the app, I just scanned the QRcode and connected my account to the bike.

I drink and my husband does not. When we don't have an AI package, I purchase a zero proof for him and Premium for me. I have also upgraded just myself in the past as well. I do have to call when doing this before cruise and have upgraded on the ship

You can run a "mock" flight viewing itineary of your cruise as if you were going to book and select flights. I did this recently as a direct flight option was available. I also have done what jelayne said and researched my own flight options outside of FBC and called direct.

A little late, but My husband always orders the duck on any cruise ship. Duck confie is one of his favorites and is pretty sure he had this one this past December and enjoyed it. oh and we both always order the Chicken Tangine at least once each during the cruise.
