We did the opposite.  We were Elite on Celebrity and became Diamond on Royal with 17 points.😍

Full drinks from 5-8.   

 

Just be sure to let the bartender know you want the drinks charged to your suite perks.  

I've asked this before, but I'm still a little confused.

If we are a suite and having dinner in Coastal Kitchen, can I order a cocktail from the dining room table and have it charged to our suite perks?  Or do I have to go to the bar and order there and bring it with me.  (I know it's one big room).   We are Diamond.

. I do appreciate being able to bring on all of the wine I want, and I’m fine with the ship’s water.

I believe you pay a corkage fee for the wine, even if you drink it in your cabin.  You pay upon boarding.

You can't bring water on the ship.

Bottled water is not included in their drink package.  

Doesn't Court of the Two Sisters have an outside courtyard buffet?

I’ve been on Apex and Beyond 

Which ship did you prefer?

We've done both.  We always take the taxi now.

The boat....well, you have to wait for it to fill up.   And fill up means squishing people in really tightly....all the while sitting in the hot sun.

Our boat broke down on the way there.  One recently sunk.  

Plus you are dropped off a ways from Atlantis.  You have to then walk there, uphill.  (Downhill on the way back...LOL)

Does Apex suffer from the noise issue that plagues Beyond?

The Haven has some larger suites that accommodate families, so if you're "unlucky" you might get a sailing with a lot of children.  We were.  The kids were always in the pool.  They considered it theirs and any adults who ventured in got splashed a lot.  It seemed on purpose.  

The Haven restaurant was great, even though the menu doesn't change.  DH still talks about having lobster every day.  They do have a strange water policy, though

We were on Joy.  We'd still consider  booking another Haven cruise.  We've also been on MSC's Yacht Club and liked that too.  Royal Caribbean's Crown Loft Suite on Symphony is next.  I'll let you know how it compares.

I emailed my son who lives in New Jersey, but he's traveling so he was away from the quake, but my daughter-in-law was home and felt it.  She said it felt like a train going through the house.

They live in Asbury.  (Not Asbury Park).

When I lived in Long Valley, NJ, we had some minor earthquakes in the early '70s.  The sound was more like a crash, not a rumbling.  

No lotion?

Is there a casino in Bimini.  Is it open during the day?

You don't need anything in the cruise documents to board. But your luggage tags will be in there.

 

I don't usually print them.  If I didn't this time I probably wouldn't have noticed a voucher for a free specialty dinner for two.  So at least look through them.

Did you get already your cruise documents?

Yes, on the 30th day.  Just as you all said.❤️

If you booked with a TA, he/she may have had that as a special offer.

Perhaps.....

Although we've booked with them several times and never got specialty dining from them.  We do have very generous OBC on this booking, but I'm not complaining if they want to give me more.

Since this cruise has Labadee cancelled with no replacement port, I thought maybe it was from Royal.

Received my cruise documents today☺️

Within the docs was a coupon for a Specialty Dinner for 2.  Is this new?  It was a welcome surprise for me.

It says the reservations have to be made onboard, voucher can't be used for reservations made online prior to the cruise.

We have always booked classic drink package and never had a problem getting a good cocktail.  If you are picky on the brand of alcohol you get, perhaps upgrading is best. 

It's been a few years since we've been on Celebrity.

But otherwise I agree with you.

Anything you can get with drink coupon, but those drinks are only for three hour happy hour , normally from 5 to 8.

Oh, I knew that.

I just mis-read TeeRick's post thinking that mixed drinks were also available from 11 to 11PM.

  The SL is open until 11PM for wine, beer and some mixed drinks even without a drinks package.  

?  Mixed drinks, too?  Like what?

thank you all.😄

All I can get so far are the set sail passes.  Maybe at 30 days out the rest will show up.

Me, too.  

My cruise is April 28   and my cruise docs (and luggage tags) are not available.  

When should I expect them?

3 hours ago, Keksie said:

Our cruise is in 39 days and I wanted to print out the luggage tags but can't find them to print.  Where are they hiding them these days?  

Mine is 33 days and still no cruise docs or luggage tags.

Is this normal?

Do you think this could be subject to change.

I see that our Symphony cruise on April 28 has Labadee substituted with another sea day.  Leaving us an itinerary of just Jamaica and Nassau.😣

I watched one during rough seas and the money did not move at all.

If you look at them carefully, you can see there's a lip at the end, so the coins and $ have to go uphill.
