    It's still there. It's 2 years or 6 months in an active war zone.

    You do not need to have served in combat. Just need your DD214 or another proof of service. I've never been asked for proof of service.

    Thanks all!

    Thanks. I'm not real comfortable with Royal's IT skills and was concerned that there might be some glitch just about the time I hit the button to send my payment in.

    We booked a cruise in March while on a cruise and decided not to transfer to our regular TA. We've been unhappy with the TA since Covid and have decided to search for another TA. Our final payment is due this month and we were wondering if those of you who book directly with Royal make your final payment online or call Royal. If you call, what number do you use? TIA

    We were just on Brilliance. Chops for both suites and Pinnacles.

    Also on the UDP on our Serenade cruise.

    We always stop at Margaritaville in Key West for a Margarita and an order of conch fritters. Delicious! The fritters are good too. 😉

    FYI. I just pre-booked valet parking for my August cruise and there's now an additional $5 "convenience fee". Not sure it that fee is also tacked on to self-parking.

    Thanks for the info. We had MTD reservations for our August Serenade cruise but just cancelled them and purchased the UDP which was on sale. We usually purchase the UDP for short cruises but wanted to go to the main dining room for a couple of nights on this cruise. Your post made us change our minds. And 5pm traditional dining is just too early.

    I made our MTD reservations about 2 weeks ago for our August Serenade cruise and selected 6:30pm. However, on the calendar it shows 6:30pm followed by (15). Have no idea what that means. I guess we'll show up at 6:30pm and wait to be seated at 6:45.

    We cruised from Tampa last month. We always use the valet service. It's an additional $20 and well worth it. I would prepay. It's so simple now that the construction is finished. If you go on the Port Tampa website https://www.porttb.com/, there's all the info you need. The porter came over and picked up our bags before the valet even got to our car.

    We booked a suite last month while on a cruise and paid the reduced deposit. Don't know if it was a different promotion or not.

    Ditto for our 4 night Brilliance cruise at the end of March. As far as I remember, the menus were accurate.

    We also live on the west coast of Florida but local weather forecasters say that it should be more of a problem for the east coast. Hope we don't get it since we're already dealing with Red Tide.

    We're sailing in a week. Our luggage tags have "suite" on them as well as the our printed set sail passes which were printed out right after we checked in on the app. The set sail passes on the app do not show "suite". I doubt that will change before sail date.

    We booked one on Celebrity a few years ago and liked it. It's very private. Made the cabin seem larger too. We were on a Caribbean cruise and we had 2 heavy thunderstorms. It was nice to be able to sit out during the storms. We didn't notice any door banging like with the traditional balconies.

    My set sail pass printed about a month ago shows "suite" category (and purple, D+) however both the app and website set sail passes no longer show "suite".

    I also have no complaints with AON. Used them when I had to have an outpatient procedure in Cozumel on a cruise. My claim was settled quickly. I even received trip interruption payment for the two days that I spent either in medical or at the outpatient clinic.

    There a thread on Celebrity CC that provides the above info about a work around.
  21. CruisinNole
    I agree. The nicer restaurants in our area adjusted to the lack of wait staff by requiring reservations and by no longer serving breakfast and/or lunch or by offering brunch on weekends. Some raised prices but not to the point where they lost customers.

    That's how I did it. Photo did show up but don't be surprised if they take your photo again at the pier.

    Or old tablets. I was able to install the Celebrity and Royal apps on my Android tablet last year but not this year.
  24. CruisinNole
    I hate to say it, but I feel the same way. Like the OP, by now, we usually have 4 or 5 cruises booked but now only have one booked for March. We're not booking another cruise until we see how the changes affect our experience.
  25. CruisinNole
    X does mark the spot for us. We cruised in August on the Equinox and experienced none of the issues you listed. Haven't booked a Celebrity cruise for this year but we're not planning to jump ship.
