BTW. I just came in from shoveling snow. 🤬 I put my snow blower away for the season just before our 18 March Apex cruise. To lazy to get out out of the shed and gas it up. Still snowing and more expected thru out the night and into tomorrow. Last year this time I was mowing the lawn wearing shorts and no shirt. We are scheduled to have a new rain gutter system installed on our house Thursday and Friday but looks like that won't happen this week. Record breaking snow fall statewide. We need it to make up for the last 7 years but...
Exactly why we would never book or not book a cruise line, ship, itinerary, stateroom, etc. based on others positive or negative opinions or experiences. A lot of good info shared by a few CC posters but...
Agree. The change to making AI an option was a lot better. Celebrity was getting a lot of bad rap on the CC Celebrity forum when AI was first introduced and no choice. We like the AI option.
I was told you no longer can reserve SD times (and TD is no longer set up with early or late) on the E class ships. I made reservations for our 18 March 2023 Apex cruise 18 months out but when we got on the ship, the MD advised us reservations were no longer in their system for SD. We did get the same table and 6:00 PM time for each evening in the MDR (Cosmopolitan). We've got the Edge booked for September 2024 and see the same screen you are seeing for SD.
I do too and always see both options. I've been seeing both rates with no expiration for the last few months. Might be cruise and stateroom specific (?).
Booked the Edge for September 2024 and picked the all included while on the Apex in March and and the all included for that cruise. That cruise we didn't have the choice. Booked it when AI first was introduced. Nothing about limited time offer. Same with our upcoming October cruise on the Eclipse when I booked it while on the, Summit September 2022. No limited time offer, picked all included. Looking at March 2025 to get back on RC. We like the differences and similarities between Celebrity and RC. March 2024 we are booked with Princess on the Enchanted and picked their AI package. Still had the choice to go cruise only or AI.
Throughout the cruise we commented to each other that the ship never felt crowed to us. All the entertainment was good to excellent on the entire ship at all the different venues in our opinion. We didn't care for the female singer (can't remember her name) that performed the last evening in the theater. We really liked the theater layout with the ever changing back drop scenes.
