  1. Sadly not…. I got £500 off my Celebrity cruise a few months ago… it was already booked and final balance due… I clicked on Amex link to site and paid balance… 3 days later £500 credited to my Amex account!! Hoping for something similar as have RCCL booked for September
  2. I can imagine! I booked it the day it went on sale and it’s more than doubled in price now x
  3. Thank you! Very excited … hope the extra $$$ is worth it for the suite!!
  4. Sailing on Utopia in September … in a Grand suite for first time… we are Diamond… so are soft drinks ,wine and beer complementary in Suite lounge 11am until 11pm or as I thought 5pm until 8pm? We will have drinks vouchers for our first Diamond cruise… I’m confused a little!
  5. 5nights sharing interior cabin on Britannia 21st April… Northern Europe Never done interior cabin before…. Not sure I’ll like that but we will see
  6. We did!! As did everyone else on our table … lots of regular P&O cruisers on 10th December sailing last year who said how poor it was compared to previous cruisers I’m trying them again in April for a short trip with friends … not my choice but one of the group on a very tight budget…. For £360 I don’t expect to be wowed!
  7. Which RCL ships ? We sailed Azura last December pre Christmas and for what we paid we knew it wouldn’t be brilliant….. I wouldn’t do Azura again …. Depends what you want but the lack of drinks and appalling MDR service was the worst parts
  8. Expensive!! I’m a UK guest I’ve been looking since I booked Utopia of the sea and the discounted Black Friday offer Is £81.85 per person approx $100! Ridiculous… cruised Celebrity for first time in September and have booked a may cruise with them,…their offers on drinks are much cheaper around £49 per day Premium package
  9. We have cruises mainly Royal but did Beyond in September for first Celebrity cruise. We loved Beyond….booked All included but I upgraded once onboard for $20 plus 20% tips ….got my moneys worth though! We booked Beyond again for May and have upgraded at a much cheaper price in current sales…I checked daily for upgrade prices and booked when it was at a good price… can be cancelled and rebooked if goes lower and we had OBC to pay for it. Different to Royal….a bit classier …. Enjoy
  10. Thanks so much! can’t believe this price…for Beyond May 2024 😁 Does anyone know if it can be combined with Elite discount?
  11. We booked Beyond for May 18th sailing last week ..,prior to All included being changed to remove gratuities. I was happy with price we paid last week with $300 OBC from booking deposit onboard a few weeks ago.. I was even happier today when Celebrity cruise agent phoned me to tell me “I needed to check that I had paid the best price”… I was busy at work and told her I couldn’t speak to her…. Then realised by her tone that I NEEDED to check the price I paid last week…😂 So I told her to go ahead…she then told me she had repriced cruise and saved me £50 and an additional $200 OBC!! With todays Prime Day savings I am so impressed that she bothered to call me and was very insistent but polite that I needed to speak to her today!! Made my day… have never booked a future cruise deposit on all my cruises previously…. But certainly will from now on!
  12. We too were regular Royal cruisers( 53 and 59 years young] …. Been on most Oasis class ships, Freedom class and Odyssey … never had a bad cruise and love Royal BUT just got off Beyond last week and we loved it! We have Utopia booked next t year as B2B but really wishing now we hadn’t booked it… would like to do Celebrity Ascent instead…. Ridiculous pricing now though for Summer 2024 so will probably have to wait until 2025 dates realised
  13. We are currently on Beyond and overall food has been good/very good… Although our first Celebrity cruise.Normandie was best MDR for us
  14. Slightly maybe… but not as quick as when using phone on land
  15. We are currently on Beyond… our first Celebrity cruise but we are elite due to RCCL Diamond status. We used our basic WiFi first and after a few days asked for our 90mins to be activated… there were no issues with that and I currently switch between the basic and Elite so have not used all the Elite minutes first
  16. Beyond on 8th September from Rome.. 10 day sailing
  17. We are cruising with Celebrity for first time in 3 weeks. Can anyone advise what nights the Chic nights are likely to be on 10 day cruise? Also what dress is the norm? Until last year on RCCL Odyssey we had always worn black tie being wear….but I told husband not to bother as it’s too much luggage and too hot! Do people bother on Celebrity? I will wear a nice dress but what’s the genera, consensus for men? Thanks
  18. Thanks everyone… We are doing back to back cruises but I can only really stretch to the 3 day part for Grand suite…only ever had outside balcony or once a Junior suite previously…husband will be 60… so nice surprise hopefully for him😀 It sure is a lot of cash extra from the balcony I had booked last week… extra £1400 for 3 nights!
  19. Apologies…I deleted text by mistake. According to RCL the cabin sizes for Grand suite are all the same… 17200 and 17600 look bigger? can anyone shed any light on this please?
  20. We did Azura last December to try P&O on a cheapish cruise…..it was poor to say the least. Dated and old ship , terrible lack of choice of drinks, Tiny food portions with poor service in a dining room…never again!
  21. £105.90 per person per day for Utopia September 2024!!! Ridiculous!
  22. I’ve booked Back to back in September outside balcony cabin and for UK site I was pleasantly surprised with the price for a new ship…. However when I’ve looked at the drinks package it’s showing £100+ per person daily!! There is no way I’m paying that even though we like a drink and it’s for my husbands 60th! Luckily will be sailing Diamond for first time so might have to make do with that!
