  1. Suite prices have skyrocketed as so many have lots of FCC to "use or lose". Value of Suites is in each user's opinion.
  2. And read the fine print. With Tmobile I can make free calls on network to the US and have free data and texting . However incoming calls are billed at country rates.
  3. The group booking would be the same price as the cruise only fare but with perks included and a refundable deposit.
  4. There is no problem at all. If you are on a cruise and book another cruise (doesn't matter if B2B except for 48 hour rule) any new on board booking is automatically credited to the same TA as your current booking.
  5. To the OP, a quick read of the Celebrity policy or looking at the titles on CC plus maybe 3 or 4 posts would have found your answer.
  6. Think already answered. The basic items are available in the buffet. The more deluxe items are not. I think of the difference between going to a cafeteria and a sit down restaurant. Going to the MDR takes more time, but certainly nicer presentation. And as for the clothing requirements. . . other than shorts and tshirts with profanity almost anything you would wear to a nice restaurant at home is just fine.
  7. It is not new. Your solution is simple. As long as you are before final payment cancel your cruise with Celebrity. You will be charged $100 with the rest a FCC that can be applied to another cruise. Then book with your TA. You cannot move an individual fare to a group with a TA. I tried. Did a cancel and rebook. Have never heard of a cruise that is non refundable. Just the deposit.
  8. And a number of "non public" fares are not applicable to the guarantee. These include TA, group and pretty much any fare shown on their website available to anyone. To clarify the prior poster. In all cases you have 48 hours to find a lower fare for a price match - it does not matter if booked one week before your cruise. In that case always applies.
  9. Just wondering if the OP went to guest relations. The waiters and sommeliers cannot usually make this sort of adjustment. Have not seen any similar problems on Cruise Critic. Seems to be strange that Decoy is often usually more expensive.
  10. Black Friday deals are a wolf in sheep's clothing. Jim said it well. 25% off or 50% off 2nd passenger. If you are looking for a cruise do a mock booking. Then have Cruise TAs Compete using a Google search. They only deal is group fares that include perks and historically have had refundable deposits till final payment. Before you book with a TA, ask some questions and see how they answer - promptly and clearly. The savings significant. I do not use a big box TA - FYI
  11. 18 months from the last points you earned/cruise. Extended due to covid
  12. The headline of the article is Bull. Those infected are isolated. The other passengers are going about their cruise. The ship is continuing to visit ports. Nothing different from other cruises except this was the first cruise to WA in 2+ years.
  13. Almond, soy and coconut on board as non dairy. Just ask. Often not sitting out.
  14. What? The shareholder credit is not refundable. Thus why would it be refunded?
  15. Definitely do not checkin in for your cruise the day after it departs. You will likely miss your airline flight too.
  16. What? A Princess Medallion is required to get an Australian ETA? Really? Do you mean to get an Australian ETA you need to use a cell phone or other electronic device? Same for ArriveCAN.
  17. There are only a few, the one we got was not complete and many kept them for days. Suggest bringing your own.
  18. Of course ATMs don't dispense coins. You take a paper note and exchange it at a bank or most stores if you buy something will change bills for coins. While some pay toilets accept credit cards - most we found require coins.
  19. The issue is the distribution system. Vintner or distiller ONLY to wholesaler. Then wholesaler to retailer OR exporter. Each state has wholesalers (or the government) that have a specific geographic area. Thus the cruiseline faces needing to place orders with multiple wholesalers. The wholesaler then needs to do the paperwork for export/taxes. If you are a wholesaler would you rather sell to Kroger or Albertsons or Total with often hundreds of outlets or Celebrity? Lots easier to deliver to the Kroger warehouse or a few nearby Total stores.
