@Georgia_Peaches This was really great and thorough. I can't wait until I can finally sail in February!

Thank you! That is what I was hoping 🙂

I booked Le Voyage and Eden for my upcoming Ascent cruise, but now when I go to the app I see they both have times for tastings that are the same times as the dinner, is there a way to switch to have tasting in advance or is that something I can do on the ship or am I just out of luck? I tried to search, but nothing seems be addressing this question on mobile. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not a huge drinker, but I love a bellini, so between this and happy hour, I chose to just get the non-alcoholic refreshment package.

I ended moving rooms, so we didn't have that issue in the end and my cousins who were also on the 6th floor also moved. Sorry 😞

I saw the $43.99, hesitated and missed it. So annoyed at myself, but I was at work and didn't have my card on me when I looked and when I revisited last night it was $63.99.

So my answer is I am hoping to love it! Booked my first Celebrity Cruise in years and as a solo traveler today on a whim and I got one of the solo rooms with an IV. Usually cruise on RCL, where I have never managed to get one of their 4 - 6 studios per ship on the quantum class with a balcony and just end up getting double priced ocean views and double priced balconies or on NCL - where I started solo cruising in their inside-inside studios and now pay double occupancy for a balcony, I am excited to try this out. I am hoping in this case the extra space will be useful! And I love the idea of the floor to ceiling window!

I did the class on the anthem Christmas week and we got to make 3 cupcakes, the frog, a chocolate one with chocolate icing and a red velvet one. We felt it was worth it, especially for something to do on a cold sea day.

@footzz Thank you! I'm not cruising until August, but I'm very excited because 4 drinks is probably the perfect number for me, but I need my coffees/milkshake and have a diet coke problems, so I'll still get refreshment because I definitely got my money's worth on that last month!

I just made Diamond after my Christmas week cruise and of course booked a cruise on the ship for this summer. Can I ask you two question about the 4 drinks -- can I use them any time of day? Do you think if i have the refreshment package (non-alcholic) they will try to use the free drinks if I use my card to get a virgin bloody mary, etc, so I'll probably need to say something right, like don't use my free drink for that?

On the Joy and the surprise of seeing Coke can I almost came here first thing to post. The first few days it seemed like it was still Pepsi at some of the restaurants but in the bars it was coke and it was from cans so you knew. Not sure what is in the guns everywhere, but in the garden cafe it clearly says coke and sprite etc.

We went on the Windward a million years ago and at every dinner there was a cold fruit soup option in the dining room. My dad loved them and misses them as an option

I agree with this -- on ships with studio lounges there is an actual solo host that helps arrange meals and shows, etc. On the Joy it is self-led, so it's not as good for solos if that is something that matters to you. For me, it depends on why I picked the cruise if that matters to me - like if there isn't a lot of sea days or down time I don't care, but if there is a lot of time on the ship I prefer to go on one with studios (even if I am not staying in the studio itself -- they let you into the lounge for the meet-ups).

Thanks @phillygwm! I was going to get WiFi also so this sounds like a good way to go!

Do you know if this add on is available for all ships or is it just being piloted on certain one? I was going to do drinks and WiFi anyway so now I am wondering if I should call and do this instead based on feedback from another question.
