We have a GTY cabin booked for our upcoming first VV. How long before a cruise does VV usually assign cabins? I may want to upgrade if we do end up with an obstructed view. Any tips on choosing great Sea Terrace cabins?

Thank you!

No masks in October 2022 when we cruised.  I think they were optional because I did see one or two. crew masked, but not routine at all.

Wonderful! Thank you so much!

Our first sailing is the end of March, and after watching Cruising Walter's wonderfully helpful videos, I was wondering if the crew is still masking? I love to see the smiling faces of everyone on board, and hope this is not the case. I do realize the videos were posted about 6 months ago.

Thanks!

We were on the January 7th and the January 14th Apex sailings.  We enjoyed the cruises on both.  😊

Happy to see you two on this thread! I see you are enjoying life! 😃 Can't wait for our first Apex cruise!

If you'll look at the deck plans, you can see none of those cabins have a sofa bed.

Great point, thank you. Bummer. My daughter will be so disappointed she will have to stay home this summer. 🤣😂

I love these cabins and try to book them on the S class ships. We are sailing on the Apex this summer and was told these cabins only accommodate 2 guests. Is this true for all E class ships? Is this correct information?

Thanks!

Following! Thank you. We booked the Apex in June. First E Class for us.

Thank you for posting these wonderful pictures! 😋😋😋

Has anyone found Fever Tree Light on board? We are sailing on the Reflection soon, and was just curious.

Yep, there it is! Under Loyalty & Suites. I didn't even know that was up there. 🤣

Thanks so much! You all are awesome! 🙌🏼

Does anyone else seem to be missing Luminae under the main dining option on the X App?

Following along. Thank you for posting and great pics! Have the best time.

Yay! Can't wait to see all those smiles! 😃

Thank you so much!😃

Does anyone have any current Reflection wine lists? Thank you!

Well, shoot. Thank you to all who answered, I appreciate it.

It appears that Beyond will be in the same port when we will be on the Reflection. Is it possible to get a tour of another Celebrity ship? I would love to see it.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much for sharing your time with us! This is a wonderful thread to follow, much appreciated. 😃

Prices aren't really "ridiculous"if enough people are willing to pay them and that appears to be the case. Now, neither you and I are willing to pay them and it will take more to balk before prices go down. Simply the law of supply and demand. I'll be aboard Serenity November 24th and December 6th.

I was really wanting to book your cruise, we will be on the Symphony same date. Your itinerary is so nice, along several more days, and newer ship (right?). However, I have a 13 year old daughter that does not want to miss school. Last year we took her out for 2 weeks, and that was it, she doesn't ever want to go through that make up process again.

We have been to the ports on our cruise a few times over, but we aren't going for the ports this time. 😉

We are excited!

Is just me, or has anyone else been priced out of the suite class since Celebrities Revolution?  We were very fortunate to get our very first suite this past December, and really loved everything about it.  Since the revolution though, the price of suites has gone way past what we can afford.  I guess this might be Celebrities way of keeping the rif-raf out.

I understand Celebrity has to pay for these high end renovations, but, yes, the prices are ridiculous IMO.

We love sky suites, and find once you are spoiled (especially with Luminae), it's hard to go back to a regular cabin.

We are trying Crystal for the first time in November. I still love Celebrity, but the pricing is too high (for now anyway) and trying something new is very appealing.

The Reflection is a great ship! For us, there is nothing to not like. We have sailed in CC and S1 cabins and loved every minute. Happy cruising!

Well, we booked a very nice c1 aft balcony. Prices for a suite have dropped to $500 more than what we paid. Called celebrity with credit card in hand to upgrade but were told (twice) no thank you. This is for new bookings only.

what i have always thought to be true is not.

I would keep calling. I always keep calling until I get an answer that works. I think that you just need the right person to help you. That doesn't make any sense to me, you should be allowed to upgrade.

I notice the "free" perks are gone, but the cabin only price on the warehouse club website is the same as a couple weeks ago. Fortunately, I got my rooms upgraded when there was the option to get the perks.  Otherwise, I either could not upgrade or I would not get the same deal (pay $240 but get $350 OBC plus 2 classic beverage packages). Now they are offering $200 OBC with booking though.

I Didn't see the extra $200. But, I added the 4 perks, our daughter is "free" and it's still $1000 less. Such a bummer!

I know what I said about being happy with he price I paid. Well, the price dropped $1K today for us. 

That is a lot! UGH!!

I sent an email to my X reservationist hoping she can help. Any other tips, other than suck it up buttercup?? 

Just wanted to follow up!. I was about to pay for my C1 last night, and I decided to check pricing one last time for the S1 that I wanted, and the prices dropped, even from my morning check! It was a no brainer, and even though there are still several suites left and prices may continue to drop, I feel like I paid a fair price, and the suite came with Go Best.
