Looking for information and feedback about the pool cabanas on the Beyond. Price is steep but so tired of needing to race to the pool early to get a lounge.

Interesting to hear of the different experiences fellow cruisers have experienced. I am on the Beyond in March. The flights from NJ were the same price on Jet Blue site or FBC. I had much trouble trying to book on the Celebrity website so I called FBC. To my amazement I was not on hold for more than several minutes. The rep took my info, explained the advantage of FBC and then booked the flights, I choose the seats at that time but was not asked about delaying payment, that was immediate. Within minutes I had the confirmation email with my eticket numbers a few minutes later the reservation appeared on my Jet Blue account. Just hope I would need to find out if the guaranteed flight service is real!

Considering Hyatt House Fort Lauderdale Airport - South & Cruise Port in Dania Beach. From what I can see there are restaurants in the area but will need a store to purchase wine and some personal care items that are not TSA friendly to bring in a carry on. Anyone know of stores walking distance from this hotel?

FYI folks. I have been trying to get our TAs for our 8/29 sailing out of NYC. Emailed BTA last week, nothing. Called a few numbers today, put in a que at caller #18, then the call disconnected (tried this several times). Called NCL and they gave me 2 numbers - this is the one that worked ...833-570-2594. I was put in the que at caller #6 and within 5 minutes my call was answered, I gave my app #, app was approved and I had the email with the link to the TA document before I finished the call. Hope this info helps others who are still waiting....so glad that stress is over with.

Question - I have the Free at Sea Adult Beverage Package Promo with the pre-paid 20% gratuities. Will the pre-paid gratuities cover the drink gratuities for the bar in the Vibe? Also wondering if it covers same in the speciality restaurants?

On the Getaway 8/29 to Bermuda. Need to call NCL to book Vibe passes. When pre-booking must book for entire length of cruise (no single days). I spoke with a nice young man from NCL who needed to "look up" every item I asked about. Be sure to question the amount you may be quoted at first as I believe it was first $500 for 2 x 5 days. I explained I had read it was $20 pp/day. Then re "rechecked" and the price was $179 pp/day or $358 for 2x 5 days. I had read in this thread that others paid 179 as well so that sounded more accurate. Comes to app. $35 pp/day....so much for 20 bucks a day but guess this went up like everything else these days. I was just glad to get the passes. BTW, you have the choice to prepay when ordering or reserve and add charge to your account to pay later. Be aware that if you wait to pay you risk losing the pass by getting bumped for someone who wants to reserve and prepay (so I was told). Only cruised NCL once so the Vibe will be new for us. Hope its worth it?

Looking for feedback on FLL disembarking and how to determine the earliest flight time to choose.
