  1. those who wait may catch bargain but may also be disappointed!
  2. good idea..you can always cancel or add or change..but note that there is a time frame to cancel
  3. no such thing as overdressed lots of people like to dress up a bit... but my spouse no longer drags a tux...
  4. I believe you can still go on diff nights with diff clothes???? we did on BEYOND
  5. many do not see value in the photos..we still think thry are high quality but buy fewer. We go a few diff nights with diff outfits and try diff poses to get some variety with the diff green screen backgrounds A nice take home is the Portfolio that includes a photo of the ship and holds one other you buy
  6. Sometimes there are very long lines..even if you just want a bottle of water and it's not always cold! The larger Cafe Baccio ( and Cova Cafe, its predecessor) was much nicer when it was more of a sit down kind of place. Take out alcohol results in long lines later in the day and slow table service. That plus many card playing groups have given it a diff atmosphere..
  7. Maybe not only about safety. .People may prefer to spend time and money in places where those in power have not chosen sides in an ongoing conflict. We think Iceland, Greenland may book up fast!
  8. with the increased added specialty dining grats, we no longer add extra..cash or extra to the bill...
  9. where will they wait? with suites? or within the gen boarding area? no one can board until the ship is cleared!
  10. hope it is worth it..take a taxi or uber! look forward to your next live from!
  11. great blog.. thanks glad you booked Galapagos.. safe travels home..maybe you can catch Rexs cafe (only bkfst and lunch)
  12. A good deal.. we used to have a Royal BOA & a Celeb BOA card but X discontinued their BOA card and morphed it into a gen cred card. Hardly use it now.. We just have the Royal BOA card now but it works for both lines..points come in handy for OBC and sometimes to reduce cruise costs ..But there's no offer for extra pts today.!
  13. and past issues of "Celebrity today... " when X was an upscale cruise line, mgmnt asked guests to remain in the night's suggested attire in all public areas.. but not the buffet or pools! now that X is a lower end clone.. some folks change after dinner b/ c they can!.. as stated above: Smart Casual attire is required for entry to main dining, specialty dining, and the Celebrity Theatre. Smart Casual means you look comfortable yet tasteful in a dress, skirt, long pants, or jean, and stylish top or button-down. Shorts and flip flops are not considered Smart Casual. If you do not wish to participate in Evening Chic, Smart Casual attire is acceptable for dining and theater.
  14. just recalled their ambassador to Israeli so maybe not a good/ safe time to visit by land or sea
  15. Amazing dinner pics from Tuscan.. Looks like a great feast.. How much was this Chef Market tour and dinner? Glad you had a fun evening after the dinner.! thanks for sharing your day!
  16. there is a mandatory grat added to services and products.. and now we do not tip extra
  17. up to you.. we like to pre-book to get the discount and dates/times we prefer.. that's not a bad price they are showing
  18. There is usually a Concierge lunch in mdr after you board Celebrity Binoculars are very basic, we bring our own.. .Lots of others have higher priority getting on and off... The included bubbly ( or wine you can trade for)is reg size but not very good..maybe drink the bubbly with OJ... No idea abt stir fry.. Silhouette gets good reviews..we are booked for late 2024..Concierge Class Btw...Oasis is a much bigger ship.. Have fun!
  19. What's the anticipated pecking order? Pass Purchasers, Zenith, top Suites, Sky suites, gambler perk( various levels) , Elite Plus, Elite, AQ Class, Concierge Class... Doorway is not wide enough for everyone to be first!
  20. so now it's RELAXED LUXURY.. replacing MODERN LUXURY! Cocoa Cay WAS a nice beach day..now looks like Coney Island
  21. great menus! we would book both... (my husb would need something other than lobster bisque due to his lobster allergy but I am sure it would work out) .
  22. kusadasi is a great port.. hope u get to go..but the world is in flux
