Going on the Eclipse next week.Anyone know if the “in famous@ Rich,that people don’t seem to like is still on the ship?

Prime Rib looks yummy.Going on Eclipsr in a couple of weeks.Always order Prime Rim when offered.Glad it was good. Happy to read the positive remarks about the ship.

I have been having trouble with AARP website.Tried logging in and it just keeps loading.Cannot purchase any gift card as it is not going any further than loading.Anyone have this problem?

After calling 3 times it finally got resolved.They sent it to their tech department.I called yesterday again and they called back and said it was okay to try again.They wanted me to check with Chase,which I did to see if anything was wrong with my account.I knew there wasn’t.I bought a $860 gift card to help pay off my next cruise.

I tried buying gift card and got a message it was cancelled.Will call tomorrow and see what is going on,

I have 3 Chase cards.The Amazon card is the only one with 15 per cent offer up to $129.I figure I can buy $860 in gift cards to get full valueExpires Sept 16.Usually but them through AARP but 15 percent is better than 10 percent.

Can you use it to buy Carnival Gift cards through AARP?

I guess you can get a couple of extra cans to take to your room or drink on deck .

Do you get canned soda and bottled water on elite menu during happy hour?

What category did they give you?I booked a veranda guarantee and so did some friends for same cruise in October and we all got category V2 on deck 7.Happy with location.We all got assigned shortly after booking.

Wonder if you have insurance and had to cancel,would insurance give you your money back?

Last post was a mistake.Pushed wrong button.

I am going on the same cruise,Oct 22 on Eclipse.My TA put a hold on a Veranda guarantee on June 20.I hadn’t even given payment and they assigned me a cabin.I also had friends booking and their cabin wasn’t assigned.I was not happy with cabin as it was all the way in front on deck 6,above theatre.I knew Princess let you change cabins as long as it is in the same category you are assigned.Not been on Celebrity in a long time so didn’t know their policy.I was able to change to cabin of my choice and she got cabins for friends two doors awayThere were a lot of cabins available last week.Looked today and there was only one cabin left.Prices were great so I guess they are filling the ship.There are no insides available.

I booked Eclipse for Oct 22 Veranda guarantee.TA put a hold on it and before she applied my deposit I was assigned a cabin.I knew since it was a guarantee it was a gamble.I was put all the way in front above theatre on deck six.Called Celebrity and they said it can be changed in the same category.There we’re lots of cabins available so I picked one on deck 7,deck between cabins.My friends going had not yet assigned,though both were put on hold at same time.TA was able to get their cabin assigned 2 doors from us.Very satisfied with outcome,

Are you saying if I had $100 obc left I can put it in a slot machine,do a few pulls and cash out?I have done that on Carnival but didn’t think I could do it on Celebrity

My TA had group space .I guess that is how.

When is your cruise?Was wondering when I would be assigned a cabin for Oct 22 cruise.Probably not for awhile.

I booked Eclipse for Oct 22 and got $150 pp obc booking Veranda guarantee.Husband was military veteran so got a reduced rate for that.TA also gave a little obc.Win,win situation.

Glad to hear that.When I called someone told me you can’t. I will have more than enough to pay gratuities.I think you can’t use OBC in casino so will have to use rest for something else. Also TA confirmed gift cards can only be use for fare and not taxes or fees.Only $500 pp or $1000 per cabin.Usually go on Carnival or Princess and they let you use it for anything.Save 29 percent buying through AARP.

I was asking about 2 different situations.Can obc be used for gratuities?I called and spoke to someone and they said no.Does not make sense.Also,another question was can you use Celebrity gift cards to pay your for the port charges and government fees part of your cruise?Was also told no on that.Just wondering if anyone recently was able to use their obc for gratuity?

Anyone able to use obc that cruise line gives or travel agent gives for paying gratuities?They seem to be strict and says gift cards cannot be used for paying port charges and taxes paying for cruise.Always able to use it on Carnival and Princess.Have not been on Celebrity in a long time.

Anyone stay in 6342 on Panarama?It is an inside-inside.Seems like a quiet area.Any difference in layout of cabin?

I was wanting to see lunch menu for JiJis.
