This was the beverage list (including beers) last year - it likely has changed but it gives a general sense of the offerings. They don't necessarily have all in stock and may have replacements. beverage-flyer-03_24_23_OB_SP.pdf

The US and Canadian websites have different layouts and options. A travel agent can arrange a hold/option on a stateroom.

Current 75% sale still charging singles 200%

I thought the closet with hangers was a decent size but there wasn't much in the way of drawer space. -
Ship: Edge Length of Cruise: 10 nights Cruise Sail Date: January 25, 2024 Date email offer received: October 28, 2023 Captain’s Club Tier: Elite Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: TA Current Cabin: Prime Edge Stateroom with IV Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Sky Suite Bid Offer: $1745 CAD pp / about $1300 pp USD Notification Date: December 15, 2023 Accepted / Rejected: Accepted Just heard that my MoveUp bid to a Sky Suite for my next cruise was successful. Booking a similar Sky Suite on the same cruise today would cost about $17,500 CAD more than I paid (although that probably says more about current prices than anything else). Looking forward to trying out the Retreat for the first time.

I was told that this week's releases would be today and therefore still part of the cyber event, but I don't see them yet...

To be released tomorrow or so I've heard. Silhouette doing Bermuda/Northeast plus Iceland/Greenland in the summer.

Wifi Upgrade Offer not offered for single cabins?

Wifi Upgrade Offer not offered for single cabins?
BytownMatt replied to cruiselover1002's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Others likely have more experience and insight on this but I've found Celebrity's promotions for upgrades to be inconsistent and difficult to predict. From what I've read on this forum, different promotions are offered to different cruisers - it may be based on loyalty level, stateroom category, country, and/or some random algorithm thing... For my cruises earlier this year - including on the Beyond in August in a solo cabin - I was offered a discounted wifi upgrade coupon on several occasions. For my upcoming cruises I have been offered discounted drink package upgrades but nothing for wifi. I would suggest that you keep checking the cruise planner particularly around sales/holidays. Good luck! (And a call to Celebrity wouldn't hurt...if you can reach them.) -
You can get some good deals on the Edge class solo cabins but so far I've found that is the exception rather than the norm. I'm also a new solo cruiser and most of the time (7/9) I've opted for regular balcony staterooms with a group rate discount from my TA or a last minute deal from Celebrity.

Does Celebrity do British Isles Cruises?
BytownMatt replied to Sox Fan Cruiser's topic in Celebrity Cruises
There's another British Isles cruise on the Silhouette on May 13. And I completely agree about Iceland. -
It's a good question. My guess is that they would discourage that because of all of the people and luggage moving about and room cleaning on turnaround day. I would like to think that my experience on the Beyond was the exception. That said, I plan on speaking with my room attendant next time to confirm the room change process.

Have been on 2 B2B so far with more planned - my TA has included $120 (CDN) discounts (recognize this may vary from country to country and maybe from one TA to another). One piece of advice for those changing staterooms is to speak with your room attendant in advance to confirm the details. For my first B2B on the Apex, everything was perfectly handled and simple. My experience on the Beyond was less positive - luggage disappeared for 14 hours until it was found in the unclaimed luggage storage area on deck 2.

I think the 20% discount is the usual pre-cruise discount (although that could change). There may be a Black Friday or other sale that will offer a bigger discount prior to your cruise. On my most recent cruises on the Apex and the Beyond, the discounts from the sales were better than the Captain's Club discount (and I could not get them combined).
