Thanks. Really strange. Above is what I saw….

That’s unfortunate. Suggest the one with Soba noodles. Best of all of them.

Double check that it isn’t $500 cheaper since as of today the tips aren’t included in All Included pricing. The tips alone are close to $500 in a typical TA.

Our reservation is in April 2024. I think it’s confusingly worded.

@Stockjock I want to thank you for your review. It reminded so much of our cruise 10 years ago to that part of the world. Now I have Rhodes on my list and will look for an itinerary to visit less traveled islands. Thanx and have fun!

Best wishes that you make it happen. And yes, polar bears. But I did love the penguins in South America.

Indeed. We purchased it but they cancelled our cruise a few weeks ago, and won't honor repurchase at same price for replacement cruise.

It may be that flash sale prices are different on each cruise, but our Summit cruise is showing flash sale for premium wifi at $15.99, so 21.65 CAD today.

Last month, I repriced by calling Celebrity because the excursion was sold-out. The rep changed the reservation for me immediately so I didn't have to worry that my computer would freeze.

TY. Any suggestions on finding one-way fares? I used to book through Choice Air and always got good one-way fares that worked well with TAs. Not finding that anymore.

The prices in the pic are for a cruise out of Boston next month, not Southhampton.

Got it. Thanx.

What? That’s news to me and will make a huge difference in deciding to book anything on board since it already costs you $100 pp to change the sailing and/or ship anyway. The OBC is the only remaining benefit and it’s not much. If this is true, I can predict that I (and others) will be booking other lines for future cruises. Often the fact that I have a booking or a Passages certificate steers me to Celebrity. Without that, I will look more closely at itineraries instead of lines. Incredibly shortsighted and stupid on their part, IMHO. 🤦🏻‍♀️

How does the Elite plus complementary coffees work, they take your card and don’t charge similar to when you have a drink package?

No pina coladas or fruit daiquiries at all. My recollection is they were real adult drinks but with a flair. Check The Molecular Bar by Junior Merino on YouTube. Couldn’t share it here but watching it after all these years made me smile!

You’re right. I could order what I like but tend to always order the same thing. That’s what I loved about the Molecular Bar (thanks for reminding me of its name @I’llGoAnywhere). It had a variety of options that were very appealing that I wouldn’t have known to order otherwise.

That was a wonderful experience for us, too. Wonder if it was the same cruise? Both he and his wife were on board and very chatty but also very focused on the training & exacting drink proportions. We went every single evening! I loved seeing all the fresh garnishes lined across the bar for the creative & tasty drinks. 😍

Wait, they have 43 in Al Bacio? Always something helpful to learn here. 😍

That’s great to hear. Is there room for 2 loungers?

Finally decided to book a sunset veranda on Apex but have been unable to find this info. The only cabins available are immediately adjacent to the suites on decks 8, 9 and 11 (which look like the smallest balconies.) We are really looking forward to relaxing on loungers and cannot tell if they will fit in addition to chairs on those smaller balconies. Does anyone know? Most of the pics I’ve seen show the very large verandahs in the middle staterooms where loungers seem to fit comfortably. The only other choice we have is a sunset stateroom on 7th deck- right in the middle of the stern. I’m worried that we’ll have too much noise from shows in Eden. And not sure if the shows are just in the evening, into the early hours after midnight, or also in the afternoon. Advice from aft cruisers on Edge or Apex would be so appreciated. Ty!

Good point. I’d more likely be contributing to the noise, then. Thanks. 😂

Yes, and thank you for the 25% coverage info.

I agree. Likely will get a few passes instead.

I see. That wouldn’t bother me. Good to know.

Tell us what you mean about not being a “cruise ship.” I’m curious.
