I've never heard of that situation. Did you book it through a group fare or something like that?
No, thru my regular on-line agency - just checked it again now:

As a standard booking, Sky Suites come with the Premium. drinks package included along with streaming Wi-FI, tips and OBC. There are exceptions, so it's best to check if you booked through Blue Chip or fare-only. You also don' get upgraded from the original perks if you got the suite through a Move-Up offer.
I'm booked for December in a Sky Suite and the price only included the Classic Package which I upgraded. Maybe because it's a holiday sailing?

We were on the Apex in March. It was either the last day or the day before they had a chocolate fountain in the buffet. It reminded me of Hersey Chocolate Syrup. Ther were also many other chocolate deserts. For what my opinion is worth everything looked better than it tasted and for me that includes most of the deserts and pastries on Celebrity
The Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brownies in Eden Cafe are fantastic. The Flaming Apple or whatever it is called in Luminae is also Chocolate on Steroids. You may find a few places where the chocolate is awesome
Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅😣

I have never seen or heard of this dessert in Luminae and it's not listed on the menu for either of my upcoming cruises. Nor was it on Edge in March. Thanks for the video, btw.
-
I've dined in Luminae on several cruises. They like to keep you with your "unofficially assigned" staff. I usually go the same time every night and it's never been an issue. One day I went to breakfast a little later than usual and my normal section was full so they sat me in a different section but my usual waitress attended to me, which I felt guilty about because it was so much extra work for her.

I am so sick of having to chase after the points to be applied that I'm dropping this card after 20 years. It's just no longer worth the hassle. I got a new card that gives me a 2% cash discount on all purchases instead.

The appetizers came out pretty late, but all of them were incredible. Between all of us, we got the crab cake, pork belly, calamari, burrata, and the beef carpaccio.
Was the carpaccio sliced or ground? I remember ordering this in Luminae and it was ground beef and I did not care for it at all.

Equinox is my favorite ship - I've been on her several times. Was on her last Tday in a suite and enjoyed the Retreat deck even tho there was no pool or bar. The staff were amazing with getting drinks and were always around.
I'm sailing Reflection this Tday and am hoping the rumor of the new Retreat deck is true. Also doing Silhouette for Xmas. I did Edge in March and loved it but I still prefer the S class ships.

I love sailing suites because of the special service, especially when I travel alone. I enjoy having the same waitstaff every time instead of being lost in the shuffle in the MDR. Dinner in Blu in Aqua for same reason.
The Retreat lounge is nice when you want to grab a snack and avoid the craziness of the buffet and the Retreat deck is pure heaven on a crowded sea day.

I sailed Edge in March and had a Sky Suite on the Magic Carpet path. We were in the one most forward and really enjoyed it because it had a window (glass) so you could see ahead without leaning out over the balcony. Also, we had rain one morning and the glass blocked our balcony from getting wet. I would book that suite again or the last one for the rear window.

If I purchase the upgrade prior to the cruise do I still receive the Elite discount? Asking because its on sale on the website right now.

Reflection is going into dry dock for 2 weeks in October for some light renovations:

I'm skeptical that they'll do anything major to Reflection this year. Under the original revolution program, it was slated to be the last ship, and that wasn't going to be until 2023. The pandemic upended all of that, of course, but it was always going to be the last ship to get updates.
Nothing major, no. But it doesn't take much to add a gate to that deck and then swap out the furniture for a Retreat area.

Just now, canderson said:
Dry dock last two weeks in October, yes. Retreat Deck rumored, but we'll see if that has happened when we board 31 October.
Please let me know as I'll be on there for Thanksgiving.
-
Someone had posted Reflection is doing a dry dock for a week or 2 in October and switching this to a Retreat deck at that time.
-
Yeah, my phone likes to go comatose at the precise moment I need to show anything important so I always print out a copy. Plus, I've seen people touching other people's phones and I don't care for that. Gross.

I've also heard they plan to convert a Retreat deck. I'm booked for Tday so I hope that's true.

If you’re ever on a cruise with Alejandro as the cruise director ask him about the time he was CD on a cruise where clothing was not optional.
The Reflection is doing a "Bliss Cruise" on November 13th. It's a swingers cruise with clothing optional areas. I'm boarding the 20th. I don't even wanna know.

Following since I signed up for this.

I think the fact that Carnival puts a limit on your drinks tells you all you need to know about some of their guests.
I can easily do 15 drinks a day when you count water, tea, soda, etc so I would not be thrilled with having it capped. Non alcoholic beverages shouldn't be included but that's one of the many reasons I don't sail Carnival.

I use the app for adding events to my calendar. My favorite thing to do at breakfast is go thru the entire day adding a bunch of things to my calendar and then blowing them all off. The intentions are good but the follow thru, not so much.

Do they have cameras on the balconies?

Regarding the Reflection, the following is what I received in April when I questioned what might be accomplished in their (2-wk) drydock this coming fall:
We are doing the dry dock on the 18th of October. The plan is to get a retreat sundeck and do a few changes around the ship.
However i am not sure if they are going to do any Suite renovations.Tom
So glad to hear this! (where is this info coming from btw?)
I'm doing Reflection over T day. I had originally booked aqua class then upgraded to a SS when they were having a sale. I was bummed about not having a retreat deck but hearing this is awesome!
-
After doing Aqua and Luminae I can never go back to the MDR. I like having the same staff every time I go there and the fact that they treat me special. Especially when I travel alone.

I called Celebrity to upgrade to premium and they confirmed my price came with the Classic package. 1st time I've seen that too but I've never booked a Christmas cruise before. I'm thinking that's the reason.
