It doesn’t affect passengers who have purchased the package and stay within the package pricing.

We have an aft balcony, non suite, with the premium beverage package.

 

There’s a few beers and some mini Tito’s in our mini fridge… are they free or?

Not free.

And here’s another

And another

I am trying to figure out what makes this a “balcony”——- is it the flooring?

That isn’t modern luxury in my book

So do we take it that casinos are once again No Smoking and No Vaping ?

They don’t sell those on board

There’s no external area.  You have a room with a window.  No balcony.

I had NEVER made phone calls at sea until about two years ago when an RCCL employee was helping me set up my Wifi.  She mentioned that I could now make calls!!!  I questioned her and said that I wasn't interested in paying to make phone calls, I only wanted the basic internet package.  She assured me that phone calls were included.  I asked for her name in case I got home and had charges which I did not.  (This was on a Bermuda sailing).  On my next cruises, I verified again that I could make calls with the basic package and was told "yes"!  Again, no charges on my AT&T bill.  Was is WiFi calling????  I have no clue, don't know much about WiFi calling or how you do it.  All I was told was that I could call as normal, which I did (as well as received calls) a number of times daily.

 

Yes, that was Wi-Fi calling 

They don’t have much inventory, as a general rule. And if you would be lucky enough to find the very same item, you would always save money on the ship, because there is no sales tax.  But they probably would not have the most up-to-date items on the ship.

They will give your wife a key to your room but won’t switch out the benefits.

it might not make sense to you but as the saying goes their game, their rules

Blu is never open for lunch, as you know, and your choices are few

sushi MIGHT be open?

the buffet definitely will be open, and Aqua Spa Cafe, too

Some people here are quite apprehensive now after the continued unannounced changes (most for the worse).  There perhaps would be less angst if Celebrity would be transparent about the changes and communicate them in advance instead of having them leaked.  They caused this angst in their customer base!

I agree….Celebrity has caused the apprehension and is doing nothing about it…..

So what about Eclipse? Was that just a rumor? Supposition? SWAG?

Eclipse going South America in early 2025 in place of Equinox.

Where did you see this?

It is way, way,way too early for Celebrity or anyone to be making any decisions about ports of call and docking locations. This is an ongoing situation.

We no longer consider the AI offers.  We get the drinks, the laundry, the internet minutes and that is basically what we use from our Elite + status.  Celebrity has lessen the value of their Captain's Club program which is a shame and a lesson learned at the same time.

 

We do like and use the drinks credits, will take advantage of the laundry and maybe use some minutes.  Last cruise did not use any of our Elite + internet minutes.

 

 

But are you still doing PowerUp?

A single report from one ship and people are jumping to all sorts of conclusions😳😜🙄😵‍💫🫠

I have often wondered why they cannot honor the elite benefit on the first night of the cruise by doing the 5-7 happy hour in the lounges...just a thought...Surely they have the necessary info from the sail pass in their bar computer system by then, as the passenger has been onboard for hours prior...Hope it is not another cost cutting thing.

Not hardly, since it’s been that way since to the very beginning of the happy hour program.

I’m confused. So they list “no extension cords” but they don’t mean “no extension cords”?

There are no cloth drapes, but there is a shade that rolls down in front of the window, a metal shade as I recall. The bifold doors are not room darkening.

Celebrity does have issues with extensions cords and often confiscates them.

I want had a bad experience taking a taxi to the airport in Fort Lauderdale. I didn’t have much cash with me and was planning on using my credit card to pay for the cab ride. The cab displayed the symbol for credit cards, but when I got to the airport, the driver said that he couldn’t accept a credit card, and could only take cash.  I can’t remember now if he said that his credit card machine was broken or what was the problem. I had enough for the fair, but he didn’t get a tip as I recall. From then on, I decided to take pre-paid transportation, whenever possible.

They are very bad at answering email, but you probably knew that already.  What were you asking?

You can buy a lot of specialty restaurants or shore excursions for a somewhat reduced view
