The franchise is getting as bad as CSI with all the spinoffs. Down Under just finished last week, Sailing Yacht will be back next year, Adventure premiered last night and Mediterranean likely wraps up in a few weeks before Below Deck takes its time slot. You can see all the past seasons on Bravo. They do marathons of past season very frequently.

It actually premieres on November 21st. 😄 OB cant' wait for his buddy Captain Lee to be back. 😇

I can't wait until the World Series is over! Newsflash: It is just a game.

I agree, I figured it would be more like a Captain's Corner with the five Below Deck Captains and Captain Kate. Definitely a wasted opportunity. The Below Deck Adventure episode they aired was the one that was on last week too. I don't see all the crew making it the whole season. My guess would be each department loses at least one person. Oriana, Kyle and Jessica would be my guesses at this point.

The Down Under finale was on the program guide as two hours but the second hour was Below Deck Adventure. That second hour aired at 10 pm last week. We are watching it now and will see if it turns out to be the same thing that is showing tonight at 9pm.

Didn't they air the first episode last week as a preview after the Down Under finale? I didn't watch it last week, I am watching it now.

What ship are you talking about? We have stayed in a J4 JS on Anthem and noise from the elevators was not an issue at all. Noise from above was though. Avoid deck 13 if you are talking Quantum class.

US bookings usual allow cabins to be moved, your rules are different than ours.

It is normal for them to serve the whole table at once, otherwise, it makes it difficult for the waitstaff and it is also awkward if some people are eating and others aren't. We request a table for just our party these days as we have had enough weird experience with larger tables. As far as ordering everything at once, it has been that way for years. I think it started back when then reduced the amount of options on the menus.

You order all your courses at the same time, including dessert, with traditional dining too.

I have never seen a single table for 20 but have seen a large family groups at two tables for 10, side by side.

When you call back, do not mention that it was a guaranty. Just call and say you want to move from 3V cabin XXXX to 3V cabin ZZZZ.

Are sailings from Singapore still only for Singapore residents or are they finally open to all?

None of the charges that appeared where added after leaving the ship in my case, they appeared just like any other charge, when I made the purchase. I had been told by medical that room service and pay per view movies were free but they don't flag your account. You just have to get them removed.

How is a cash account going to make a difference in this case?

Just saw this on FB. Watch What Happens Live will be broadcasting from Celebrity Beyond on November 1st with all of the Below Deck Captains and Captain Kate. That should be an interesting show!

I recently had to isolate in my cabin on Oasis and was told I got free room service, free pay per view movies and free bottled water. I didn't bother to ask about free internet as I already had Voom. I was charged for both room service and movies and had to have it corrected by Guest Services.

We sailed Oasis earlier this month and were able to book Chops for 5:30 for day 1, immediately after boarding. The restaurant was completely full when we left, with people waiting for tables.

We have been able to book all of our dinner reservations in CK when staying in a JS immediately after boarding the ship pre covid. I have seen posts post covid that people have only been able to book day to day initially but seems to be changing back to the norm recently. I would go to CK once you board and see what they say. We have had no issues with times and days on Anthem but were limited to only a few times on Oasis.

I totally understand where you are coming from. We don't try to bring others because if every person who is in a suite can bring an additional three people into the suite line as someone claims, that pretty much makes priority suite boarding useless. We also do not as the concierge if we can bring someone in either as it puts them in an awkward position. If they say yes to one, then they need to say yes to all. There is always going to be someone who is going to share their benefits and strut around telling all that it is right, that just isn't us. We will use the benefits that come with our crown and anchor status and our suite and will happily sit in the regular boarding area with our family or the schooner bar instead of a lounge all the other times. Give them a call and see if you can get an answer. I looked on the website but I can not see anywhere that says you can have others join you. Either way, enjoy the suite. Let us know if you get a definitive answer. 🙂

Priority boarding is listed as a benefit of booking a suite. It does not specifically say it is only for those in your suite but it doesn't not specifically say you can have your friends and family tag along either. We sail in suites a lot but will also sail in a balcony occasionally, especially if we are sailing with others that do not book suites. If we are in a suite, we do not bring the others into the suite boarding area, we go with them in their area and board with them.

Your definition of sailing by her is different than others. You do not go by the statue if you go out of Cape Liberty unless you go up river. You just see it in the distance.

Ships that sail out of Cape Liberty do not go by the Statue of Liberty. Yes, you can see the statue in the distance, but you do not sail by the statue. On a rare occasion, they will go up river and by the statue and then go out to see under the bridge, but that does not happen frequently at all. Oasis went up river last week?

Yes, you can get a can of soda as one of your diamond drinks. Oasis did have Coke Zero in cans when we were on recently. Soda in cans is not typically included in the soda and refreshment packages but we have been given cans in some venues recently with the refreshment package.

Moving under performing shows to streaming, instead of outright cancelling, seems to be a trend. ABC did the same thing with Dancing with the Stars. They moved it to Disney +. We haven't made the move from cable to streaming but plan to look into it eventually.
