Much nicer shops on X... esp E Class

Depends on the itins Not sure about APEX but know BEYOND has a great World Class Bar overlooking Martini Bar.. have not trIed APEX yet ( 2025)

What is the extra upcharge for those with Premium? Are there any choices covered by the Classic? We may have to start bringing our 2 btls onboard and carry a glass each into dinner..husb can drink mine!

just Elite..I believe suite guests can grab something in the Retreat Lounge if they miss Luminae hrs..

thanks for posting very useful info, but the pier walkway layout reminded us of the long pier at Costa Maya, San Juan & surprisingly St Kitts fir Ascent....no luck there with the promised tram. I think we prefer to remember CoCo Cay the way it was before it was " "transformed". Had our first snorkel experience there many years ago.. The place was a mostly undeveloped gem! We enjoyed it many times. We may book Reflection but would skip that " port" stop.

Regardless of OPs wording, the "revised itin" is a completely diff cruise; so as good as cancelled!. Glad folks have sufficient time to cancel and make other plans. Disappointing...but safer!

wow.. great pics of your snorkel trip..esp the turtle! what a thrill that must have been!

pier is very industrial from what we recall... Maybe pick a smaller port..more exotic..just a thought!

we were nauseated by the 'wet dog" smell in the deli on Central Park on Oasis....set the tone for our dining experiences on that ship! Overall we prefer most everything on X..gave up Royal C yrs ago, and after trying Oasis knew our decision was right for us! If OP is a Royal fan, suggest trying E Class.. closest to Royal but no rockwalls!

My husb and I are in the dark ages..we do not use either of these..barely manage to order movies from Cable at home! I enjoy reading a few books that I download ahead of time, and downloaded music. (still have an I pod set up with great mini speakers .ha ha ha) We def suffer with X TV and movie offerings. It used to be great yrs ago, esp on Reflection, but is now very slim pickings..a few repeat lectures and old TV...truncated news.

used to be available..I recall more fr Royal than X...but that was years ago. Way before the APP !

What a feast!

Wow.. What a nervy person she was! (def not a lady)... Put her in same category or worse than chair hogs and other self entitled piggies! You held your ground as a true lady and then moved but on your terms! Kudos! Glad you got your just reward.. And I loved how you tell the story!

great photos. Coco Cay....best enjoyed at a distance while you have ship to yourselves! ...brilliant strategy.. glad you showed the long walk to the facility..that would make it NOT for us in the hot sun!

In the E Class IVs , there are alot of cubbies and shelves in the cabinet with the light.. I use that area for my florals but otherwise..find enough rm for 2 of us..not light packers at all.. However, the bthrm shelves are skimpy..and just the one large drawer!

Guess that's us..AQ Class us our sweet spot We disliked Luminae( Beyond) and thought the Retreat Lounge was sterile..NO views....We did enjoy the upper deck pool, sun area on a port day...no crowds! We enjoyed the larger room/ storage.. but never used our bigger balc and thought the big bath tub was a slippery slope! Best perks were early boarding and disembarkation.. Maybe we'd like suite class more on an S Class ship? Will look into that

We like AQ...BLU and thermal suite ( other than M class). We would not bid to move up!?? Usually book the room we like and stick with it. If you used a T for the orig booking, you may have to use the TA for any changes,

Love tours that go to the cactus gardens... with interesting animals , rocks etc. Quite a contrast from the beachy side or shopping areas! Sounds like you had a fun day!

Enjoyable review.. Good summaries ... Lovely photos. Was the Suite class worth the fare?

OP ..no such thing as Steerage Class on Celebrity...book the stateroom and cabin class you prefer in yoyr price range.

But why not welcome others? No need to be best friends but at least share space! Its only for lunch!

photo to me shows life boats/ tenders are not tucked under. . If not willing to live with it..book something more to your liking

Glad you made it.. Such happy smiles in the photo! Have fun!

Amazing photographs, videos and an overall great review. Glad you enjoyed your adventures!

you always show a can do attitude.. so hope it will get you through!
