There's a pop up online offer for $50 OBC if you book a new cruise....did you sign up for that? If so, it will show in the cruise planner and can be used onboard or pre-board.

I agree that consistency is or should be the end game...but....how many would like to be the exception to the rule when a lounger or footstool appears on their balcony? Do they accept it quietly or do they turn it down because they insist on consistency and playing fair....🤫? It's human to be human....😉.

Maybe a sign of much use and enjoyment...LOL? Thanks for your info. I've also read she may be in sad, worn down shape.....to be expected with age.

Thank you for the lovely pics and insight into Bermuda. In all our cruises this is one port we missed but look forward to visiting. Ship looks in pretty good condition, but the 'down' pic of the library chairs had me wondering.... Are they dirty or damaged? We're on her in Nov....5 cruises with her but last was in 2017. What was the condition of your cabin and balcony. Dining room?

This is the repeated answer no matter the question when it pertains to the drink package. Copy and paste is not suitable and somewhat insulting to the posters. Costs per drink and preferred choices are set up in such a way there's always a chit to sign even when one has a package. I, as many others are reporting, will not be purchasing a package which defeats X marketing aim.

Deck 12 has cabins and above that is the Oceanview Cafe. We've stayed often on deck 11...no bothersome noise. Only viewed from above if you're standing at the rail. Always found our balcony quiet and private. Pic below.

They were on concierge Solstice class balconies on every cruise we took from 2009. This is part of our vacation comfort and if not there for our next cruise we'll say 'sayonara' to Celebrity. I have to add that losing loungers on suite class is becoming a deal breaker for many posters on CC.

The two largest S class SV balonies are the 2 in the middle.

Correct....poster may mean the cabanas....which you reserve and pay for.

Just know that if you cancel your pre-bookings, your preferred dining time may not be available. If you dine late, that will work for you. Also, with pre-booked dining pkgs you can't book your dining time until on board. When you board, it's best to go immediately to any specialty restaurant and reserve your times.

S class hump balconies are longer and narrower than 'other' balconies and some are shaded, but 1st and 3rd are somewhat larger. Below is pic of 1st on the hump I lifted from another post.

Do you mean the pics of 'sail-like' canvas over the upper pool deck sun beds? Regular for everyone if you can find space early enough. Very popular.

Thx....Hopefully that will still be the case in Nov.

You must be addicted to the griping....LOL.

If you don't mind me asking.....Which Oceania ship and what did you think of the experience?

That's what I've been researching....most of these scooters, although light, are wide and look cumbersome on the site the 2 companies usually used by the cruise lines show. We do use the airlines help with a wheelchair. BTW...to the OP.....sorry I pushed this off the topic.

Thx...I do have that link and considering rental but as you say its the time from home to ship where some assist is required.

Not Meclizine but one in the list posted above which does require prescription.

Would never have thought of renting/wrapping/shipping as luggage. They unload it on the carousel as normal luggage?

OT...but...what happens if a person is prescribed one of these drugs and carries it with them on vacation into the US. Should it be declared? and would it be confiscated? DH needs one of those mentioned and takes it on every holiday across the border. Never has been asked which medication he has with him.

Correct....I mis-spoke....should have said "on your own laptop....or whatever....in your stateroom".

You're so right.....BTW....I LOVE YOUR SIGN-OFF QUOTE! "Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference."

Yes....automatic. You sign in on the stateroom computer and create a password...instructions are USUALLY left on the desk by the cabin attendant.

Would that be RW?

Yes, Celebrity still has CVP's but they're few. Ours had been let go or decided to change jobs and when I called they assigned a new one; I think that may have been because I already had one for many years. Call the main number and ask. Re online booking, it might be better IMO to book through their general service staff for a personal touch even though it's a different agent each time you call.
