Thank you SO much for the best review I’ve ever read!  Glad you had a great time! 

Thank you all!  Very helpful! 

Does Celebrity offer any type of 'Press Only' discount upon boarding?  Royal has a 10-piece press only for $17.50 on transatlantic cruises.  Will be on our first Celebrity TA this fall!! 

Thanks for that timetable! 

I’m in the same situation.  Thanks for sharing,  So, am I understanding the Celebrity waffle breakfast “at the top” would be approx 30 min and not 60-90 min??

@ONECRUISER thank you for your service  and stepping up as a single dad.  Just amazing.  😊 

@ONECRUISER Always appreciate your seasoned input and guidance.  Thank you!

I’ve just booked 2 Apex cruises, both allowing me to choose between Anytime or 6pm or 8pm.  I chose 6pm. So if the MDRs are not honoring the 6pm seating I chose during booking and I want to eat at 6pm,  do I just go get in line before 6pm every night and wait to be seated? And I can choose any of the 4 Dining Rooms to get in line?  Thanks in advance.  

Thank you!!

They are only taking itineraries through April 2026 so we will have to wait a year to find out her replacement

I got a little lost on this one … Are you saying the cruise/itinerary is solid but that the ship (Harmony) will be replaced with another ship??  If yes, is that common?  Sorry for my confusion. Thx! 

Thank you!!!!!

I just found the missing information. Apparently, Brilliance directly crosses the Atlantic after the repositioning:

 

Brilliance of the Seas 8-Night Spain & Portugal August 22, 2025

Barcelona, Spain • Palma De Mallorca, Spain • Valencia, Spain • Cruising • Lisbon, Portugal • Porto (Leixoes), Portugal • La Coruna, Spain • Cruising • Southampton, England

 

Brilliance of the Seas 15-Night Iceland & Greenland August 30, 2025

Southampton, England • Cruising • Glasgow (Greenock), Scotland • Cruising • Reykjavik, Iceland (2 days) • Cruising • Qaqortoq, Greenland • Cruising • Nuuk, Greenland • Cruising (2 days) • Sydney, Nova Scotia • Halifax, Nova Scotia • Cruising • Boston, Massachusetts

Thank you!  I see the 8-night on Royal’s website but not the 15-night transatlantic.  Are you seeing it on Royal’s site?  Or ??? Thank you again! 

Ha ha!  May 2022 … sorry!!

I believe Wonder is the first RCI ship to have a dedicated Suite sun deck separate from any other structure.  We were in an OS for the May 2922 transatlantic and enjoyed the Suite deck daily.  

In all bookings we’ve done directly with Royal, we’ve never once received a reminder.  And we’ve never missed a final payment date. Glad it worked out for the original poster! 

I, too, followed the medical event and am so glad to hear your wife is on the mend!   You provided a lot of helpful information and education regarding the event, so thank you!!

Just off the Brilliance which ported in Grand Cayman Tuesday (2/7).  Yes, all bars were closed until 6pm EXCEPT the Pool Bar, which was mobbed by 4pm but there were  at least 5 bartenders and drinks were served quickly.  We had Early Dining (5:30pm) and were able to order drinks from the dining wait staff upon arriving, which were delivered by 5:40pm.  

Thank you for doing this - very helpful for those of us with upcoming Ovation cruises!!!

screwsmcernrst, would you kindly share which bars stocked blue cheese stuffed olives and if a particular bar is better at making the Filthy Martini??  THANK YOU!!!

Thank you - just ordered!

Thank you for such a helpful review - very appreciated! And congrats on the Kate Spade, VAT and all 😊. QUESTION about hairdryers: Are they the same handheld which must have the trigger constantly depressed for use??

A quick google search yielded this. I hope that gives you a start. Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Hi. Just happened to me in the last 2 days!! I called (I called the Crown and Anchor line) and was told my reservation “was locked”. She quickly “unlocked it”, told me to sign out, close the browser, reopen the browser and log in. All worked fine after that. Hope this helps!
