Hey everyone, thank you very much for your input. After reading all your comments, definitely going with the Deluxe balcony that includes the small sofa....Cruise with Royal Carib 99% of the time, and I must admit, balcony cabins are larger than princess. But in my opinion, just my opinion, food has gone downhill on Royal....and everyone we talk to said Princess to Alaska should be the 1st choice. So here we go, Discovery Princess, Deluxe Balcony, Alaska here we come!

Been on too many cruises to ask a question like this, sorry in advance, but on the Princess website (Deck Plans) the standard balcony i.e. cabin B215 shows a larger square footage than a deluxe balcony i.e. cabin B733.....weird, right? or not lol Any insight to the madness?? haha ...

to be honest, nothing really...lol...just here wondering if anything has changed. Thank you very much!

Good afternoon, does anyone have a copy of the current or recent welcome aboard letter for Diamond Plus guests? Navigator on Feb 2nd from L.A., just want to reconfirm what I probably (or should) already know...lol Thanks very much, Mike

Any recommendations for a GOOD travel agent? usually book direct , haven't had great luck with a couple cruise agencies

Good afternoon, need an EXPERIENCED MSC cruiser or referral to a MSC specialist travel agent. 50+ cruises with Royal Caribbean plus princess, carnival, celebrity, but have never had this many problems with MSC. We are trying to book a Northern Europe cruise for December onboard the Preziosa. Status match should be Diamond with MSC. Concierge not a big help, gave me wrong info....reservations gave friends and me different info, etc.....HELP !!! Thanks, Mike (Chicago)

OKAY !! AVIS rent a car Orlando airport to Port Canaveral is the absolute BEST way to go on 11/23. so now......Port back to airport.....CORTRANS OR CRUISE CONTROL....,Anyone use them before? any comments or suggestions? Cortrans $60 total, Cruise Control $50 total....assume they're both ok and reliable

First time after many many cruises, I'm stumped. (My bad)...lol Arriving into Orlando at 5pm from Chicago on Thanksgiving day and plan on staying in Cocoa Beach that night....Well, between Uber, Taxi, shuttle, etc, pricing are coming in at between $150 to $200 one way from the airport to cocoa beach for that evening. Any suggestions? Otherwise guess we'll stay close to the airport and take Royal Caribbean transfers on Friday morning to Port Canaveral (Allure)

Got it !! Thank you very much

Hi, I'm sorry but you lost me....S class cabin sticky at the top of the page? (what page?) Thanks for your help and advice, just if you could explain a little further I'd really apreciate it Mike (Chicago)

Good morning, any opionions on Cabin 6303? Just received our GTY cabin assignment, just spoke to Celebrity and they were very very accomoadation, said we can pick any available cabin in that category.....6303 looks good, no lifeboat view, larger balcony maybe......Thanks everyone in advance for your input. Mike (Chicago)

Good morning, Just confirmed cabin 8154 on Allure - deck 8 forward oceanview balcony.....Same deck as Central Park, location looks ok, can walk through Central Park to the cabin or of course the stairs/elevator if weather is not cooperating. just wondering. Thanks

Good morning, anyone have any thoughts on Cabin 8154? (Oceanview balcony forward deck 😎 Actually looks ok as far as location, can walk thru Central Park to the cabin which might be very nice, or elevator/stairs if the weather doesn't cooperate.....Just wondering Thanks

Thanks very much !! Reflection 12/23 ..... I'm sure it will be amazing

Thank you very much, just called Celebrity and upgraded to the premium drink package with a 15% discount.

Thanks very much, but wondering if they offer bogo (buy one get one) at the specialty restaurants, etc....and, sorry, the upgrade to the premium drink package? Do we call to get that? (at a discounted price)

Good afternoon everyone, Does anyone have a copy/picture of the welcome aboard letter received in their stateroom (for Elite guests) ? Was just curious what benefits are waiting for us when we board .... Thanks so much!! Mike Chicago

Good morning, just a quick question (I should know the answer) lol......we received our cabin assignment today for our Christmas Cruise on the Reflection. We had a GTY Prime inside cabin category which is fine. BUT, they assigned us a wheelchair handicapped accessible stateroom. We've had those before, and of course the cabin is larger, but just a bit awkward as counters, sink, etc is lowered for a passenger in a wheelchair. How is Celebrity about changing the cabin assignment even to a smaller cabin if we really don't like utilizing a handicapped accessible stateroom. Waiting for a call back from reservaions (current hold time is about 1 hour)....Thanks in advance for your help and information on the subject. Mike

Good morning, just a quick question...first time Celebrity (Diamond Plus on RCI - not sure if we'll make Pinnacle)... Does Celebrity give you any type of discounts and or specials. i.e. BOGO at specialty restaurants, etc. like RCI does.....Upon arrival in your RCI cabin there's a welcome letter with what Diamond Plus members can take advantage of during the cruise..... Also, booked the cruise well over a year in advance (took advantage of an amazing offer for an inside guarantee (first time in an inside cabin) but couldn't refuse the deal we found.....the cruise now is sold out for Inside/Oceanview cabins....does anyone have any experience with this being an Elite and MAYBE getting upgraded due the guarantee category you're booked in is sold out? Thanks in advance for everyone's information on this subject.

Thank you, its funny, when I call Royal, reservations or Crown & Anchor, they say these cabins don't exist...just a little frustrating.....Love the JS with the tub and she seperate shower.....dont need the one with 1 1/2 bath....going to book a J4 and hope for the best lol , thanks again

Good morning from Chicago !! Confirmed on Quantum next year and looking to upgrade to a JS. I've watched many videos, read probably way too much, but can anyone recommend what they believe is the "best" JS/category........Some videos show a shower across from the bathtub, some show a 2nd bathroom (1/2 bath) and when calling Royal Caribbean they say these cabins dont exist..... Thanks in advance for your recommendations .

Done, Thank you! Mini Suite on Deck 16 Sky Princess .....

Good morning! Thank you very much, called Princess and upgraded to a mini suite on Deck 16, Lido Deck, (L210)....lol Appreciate your help.

Any suggestions for a good mini suite (and location) on sky princess ? Thank you

Thank you very much for your reply.....just want to confirm...(sorry) but if we get a mini suite on say deck 14 or 15, those that have standard balcony cabins above us cannot look directly down onto our balcony. I do understand what you're saying about the tiered on grand/caribbean princess, we had people throwing things down on our balcony. Thanks again for your help
