I learned a long time ago, mostly from roommates, that some folks are door slammers, that is just how they close doors, and there are a lot.

Enjoy the cruise, if your going in the middle of January, my sister an I will be on deck 9 SV cabin on the same cruise...

Did you notice any noise from Eden?

I was on Apex deck 11 in a SV and I really liked it. Never been on deck 7.. My concern about deck 7 is your directly above Eden and may get noise from there…

Yes, I can’t login either. Seems like there is always some issues with their website.

On my March 2022 Apex cruise the basic water was in a 16oz aluminum twist off cap "can"

I do plan to make another attempt before my final payment is due. Thanks for the advice.

No, nor did I take one. I'm learning some valuable lessons here. Had an easy, no issues, last time I used best price guarantee, guess I took it for granted.

The only "proof" I have is the hand written best price guarantee form I emailed in. So it really isn't "proof" as someone could write anything they wanted on it....

Yes, that is the only "proof" I have..

Booked a cruise in March 2022... The price for the same everything dropped $450 a few weeks later. I filled out the best price guarantee form and emailed it in, I did forget to put my email on the form, so never received any email nor did I receive a new invoice with the new price reflected. In my cruise planner however the new price and new amount due was reflected... About a month later it went back to the original price and suddenly my name was on as both passengers, I called X to explain the situation and after a nice conversation with Mark, was told NO I have the best price for that promotion at that time. I have zero proof of the price change other than the form I emailed X in April. Mark claimed he could do a "simulated" price from back in April and again I was told I had the best price... Not sure what or if there is anything I can do? The first invoice I ever received was from Mark a few days ago, this whole situation seems very strange to me, I never receiving and invoice until a couple days ago, myself being added as both guests at some point... I did a refundable deposit, but there is no proof I can see of that (did not talk to Mark about that) Any ideas on how to possibly correct this or am I stuck with the original price? Thanks for any and all help.

If the slides cost money to go down, they are never going to be removed. More will be added, if anything.

I attempted to get a bucket of beers from the poolside bar on Apex in March, to take back to the room. I was basically told I am dumb to pay for the bucket of beers when I have the premium drink pkg. I then told him it was to take back to the cabin so I could enjoy a few on my balcony... He understood my idea, but again basically told how stupid it was for me to pay, I told him I don't care, I ended up not getting the bucket after not wanting to get berated any more... I spent the whole cruise like a little chipmunk trying to stash a beer here and a beer there to finally have a few in the mini fridge.

I booked two cruise on Beyond in March 2022, both SV cabins, one 7 days in 2023 premium drink and internet $600 OBC for $3800 all in 2 guests. Also a 10 day in 2024 premium drink and internet $800 OBC $5100 all in 2 guests. I feel like I got a "good" deal. Not quite the $2500 all in 2 guests, premium drinks & internet $600 OBC I got back in March 2020 that was lift and shifted to March 2022 on Apex. Don't think I'll see a deal like that anytime soon on E-class ships...

Been on 2 NCL cruises…tried Celebrity in March. Wow, what a wake up between them. NCL nickel and dimes you for everything. Not sure I’ll go back to NCL. Already have 2 more cruises booked on Celebrity. Tried looking at a comparable 2024 cruise on NCL’s new ships and went straight to book another Celebrity cruise. NCL was a lot more plus the on board nickel and dime BS. Unless I can get on NCL’s new ships at a lower price than a luxury cruise line like Celebrity, I’m likely done with NCL.

It's Celebrity's "Flag Ship" it will have the "best of the best" in regards to most of the crew.

If your on an E-class chances are good that Eden will be fully booked by the time your on the ship. Personal decision, save a little $ or guarantee your ability to dine where and when you want..

I currently have 2 Celebrity cruises booked and am buying pretty much anything I can now(specialty dinning, excursions...)with fuel prices, the last two years of losing money, the cruise company's are going to make it up somehow. I was thinking of booking a Beyond pool cabana when it was $150 its now $250 I will be passing on that...

Do I need to cancel my 2 cruises booked with Celebrity? I like beer and pretzels.

Just about all the martinis are $15+

I've only had the premium drink pkg on Celebrity... An upgrade from classic to premium is about $18 per day. For me its totally worth it, but you would have to determine that yourself. The drink menus and prices should be available to you on the app, do some calculations and see if it's worth it for you.

Guess the $75+ I tipped the bar servers wasn't enough 😞

Thats my point, Celebrity = 2 cards, 2 drinks, 1 person. NCL = 2 cards, 4 drinks, 1 person.

My only complaint about Celebrity vs. NCL is how the beverage pkg. works on for Celebrity. On Celebrity it's one drink per person with the drink package, so if you want to grab drink for you and your partner you need both cards... NCL was (at least on my final cruise with NCL) two drinks per person, so you could actually grab your partner a drink without their card. Other than that, everything IMO is better on Celebrity. The basic drink pkg is up to $9 for everything (beer, mixed drinks, wine) Not a huge wine drinker here, but on Apex I did not see many $9 or less glasses of wine... If you go over the $9 your account is charged the difference plus 20% gratuity. Apex does not have a basketball court, there is table tennis, cornhole (bags) boards, pool volleyball... Apex is the reason I will probably never get on a NCL ship again (my last NCL cruise was on Encore)

I don't ever recall being searched before leaving the ship in port...Getting back on is obviously different.
