For our cruise on the Ascent in February 2024 I would like to purchase a dining package, but the only option available is for 3 nights. Do they put a limit on how many 4 and 5 night packages they sell?

We have been assigned a 12:00 boarding time for this Sunday's Wonder of the Seas out of Port Canaveral and just received an email stating that those who arrive before their boarding time will be turned away. I've never followed my boarding time in the past and typically arrive pretty early to the port, but I haven't cruised Royal since pre-COVID. I have seen in recent posts that cruises on the Wonder have started boarding fairly early (10:30). Can recent cruisers out of Port Canaveral confirm that we won't be turned away if we show up early? Thank you.

So if it says the shows are full should I assume that they are and try to book onboard? Or does it say full until they actually open the reservations?

I am sailing on Wonder of the Seas on July 30th, and I was surprised to find when I logged in today that all but one of the shows says sold out. I was under the impression that show reservations don't open up until 30 days before sailing. Should I expect reservations to open at the end of the month, or are the shows actually already full?

We recently redeemed Celebrity credit card points towards a cruise fair. I understand from the terms and conditions that if you cancel the cruise you lose the points, but has anyone tried to transfer their redemption certificate to a different cruise? We would like to move to a different itinerary.

Do you have a contact for the shoreside suite concierge? I keep hearing people mention them but I can't find a way to contact them.

Can anyone tell me if Raw on 5 on Beyond is open for lunch and dinner? The app gives lunch and dinner hours for every day of a 7 day cruise, but I'm skeptical that it would be open for lunch on a port day. Thanks!

Looking forward to your review. We booked the Beyond in April about two weeks ago in a suite gauruntee and ended up in an S2. We are happy with it, but would have loved an Aqua Sky Suite!

Loving your review and so happy to hear that Le Voyage is included in the dining package. Have others had issues having it included? I'm getting the 3-night dining package and definitely want to try Le Voyage.

I have specialty restaurant reservations booked on an upcoming cruise, and want to make changes to dates, but I don't see a way to cancel or reschedule bookings online. Do I have to call NCL to do this? It's been a couple of years since we've cruised NCL, but I seem to remember in the past being able to modify dinner reservations online. THanks.

We are looking at doing a 4 day MSC cruise out of Port Canaveral in December. For those of you that have sailed recently, have you encountered any COVID restrictions onboard, or are they back to delivering the full experience (no masks required, regular seating at restaurants, all activities being offered, F1 simulators available, all bars open)? We're thinking of doing a Yacht Club suite, and we haven't cruised since 2020 and are hoping things are back to normal onboard. Thanks!
