Nope - just lowly Diamond Plus. 🙂

Thanks!

If you are in a junior suite, are you allowed to use the suite lounge?

I miss the 2x a day service. Can definitely do without it, but it is super nice to come back mid-day or whenever and have the bed made and again in the evening after taking a shower, etc. and having things tidied up. We aren't very needy and practically never ask for anything extra, so it wouldn't take the attendant probably more than 10 minutes in our room. I realize others with children, etc., would take longer. However, I would definitely like to see the 2x daily come back - although I'm sure it won't!

Yes, I guess we will just make our own "formal night". I realize it is no longer designated as such, but thought someone might know which night was actually designated in the planner. Just trying to make dinner plans as we will have 3 children along and need to plan accordingly. Thanks for your answers. I'll keep looking!

Just wondering which night "formal night" would be on the 4-night Independence of the Seas cruise going to CocoCay (Day 2) and Nassau (Day 3). The sea day is the last day (4), and typically "formal night" is not the last night, but....I wasn't sure on this one. Can anyone clue me in???

That's what I thought. The same way on Royal Caribbean. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

If you have purchased a dining package, can you reserve dining times before boarding? If so, how? Do you have to call or can you do it online?

Where does Celebrity Beyond dock in Puerto Plata?

Same here! For a July cruise. Made me dig out the paperwork to make sure I hadn't missed something. Whew!

Are there any "regular" balconies on IOTS? Or, are they all infinite balconies and suites?

Thank you all so much for the suggestions - I love them all!! My husband and I have purchased the cruise for us, our daughter, her husband and their 9-year old son and our son, his wife and their two daughters - ages 7 and 3. We're going to "reveal" it to them on Christmas, but the cruise is not actually until next July (2023) when school is out. So, plenty of time to change plans if needed. And, we ALWAYS book refundable for sure. Too many unknowns for us with aging parents, etc. Thanks again for your help! And, keep the suggestions coming!!!

Yes, maybe I wasn't very clear... We are giving the cruise as a Christmas gift but not actually going on the cruise until next year. So, plenty of time to prepare (or back out if they want). I was just looking for creative ways to "give the gift".

So, I know I've read on here different ways folks have surprised their families with cruises for Christmas, but I can't seem to find the threads right away. I'd love to hear how some of you have done this if you'd be willing to share!

Thank you for the information!
