  1. Does Celebrity still offer a laundry bag special onboard? When we last cruised with Celebrity in 2019, we were given a paper bag to fill as much as we can for one set price. Just wondering if they still offer this special or if I’m better off pre-purchasing. Thank you!
  2. Called again today to add the additional $50 OBC (but of course the new cruise fare went up by $100 so I didn’t add it 😂) and the agent changed the room for me no problem!! Thanks everyone for encouraging me to call back 🥰
  3. Yes! Definitely a risk for sure. I’m over 180 days away from sailing and I made the booking yesterday morning so I was very surprised to see an assignment last night! There is almost 90% availability in the obstructed balcony cabins currently so I didn’t think it would be an issue to be moved to the starboard side so that I’m not right over the smoking section on deck 5.
  4. Hello, has anyone successfully changed their assigned cabin recently? In the past, I’ve been able to change the location as long as it was in the same category, but today the agent said absolutely not. Just wondering if it is worthwhile calling back and speaking to a different agent… Thanks!
  5. So it looks like for some of the specialty restaurants, kids are $10! (Photo shows price in Canadian $) BUT I checked Le Petit Chef and that one doesn’t show a kids price… will be interested to know your experience because that’s the only specialty restaurant my son wants to go to! 🙂
  6. I was reading it as a $10 flat fee for children, which is what Royal Caribbean charges for specialty restaurants for kids! Do you mind letting me know if it was $10 or $50 when you go? Wondering if I should pre-purchase or just pay for my kids separately once we are onboard..
  7. Is it possible to call and ask to book a BCC cruise in Canadian dollars? Are we able to use FCC to cruise fare? (For the 10% discount offer)
  8. Thanks everyone! Much appreciated 🥰
  9. Hello, I’ve always wanted to try a Disney cruise but could not justify the cost… BUT the transatlantic in May is $6k for a veranda guarantee for a family of 4 which seems very affordable for a Disney cruise! If seasoned DCL cruisers could answer some of my questions, it’ll be much appreciated!!! 1. is $6000 the usual price for a veranda guarantee for a transatlantic sailing or is this lower than usual?? The reason I ask is because we already have our annual cruise on RCL planned for March so budgeting for another cruise so soon is not ideal… BUT if this is an unusually low price for a transatlantic, I don’t want to miss out!! 2. Are all character meetings additional costs?? I keep reading people talk about booking tea times, Princess meetings etc. and wondering if my kids will miss out on interacting with characters if we can’t get reservations… 3. we will be taking our 7yo and 3yo. Longest cruise the 7yo has done was 22 nights (Vancouver to Hawaii roundtrip) when he was 3 (on Celebrity Eclipse) It was rocky but I have heard that the Atlantic is REALLY rocky… our DD was 2 (last year) when we did 14 nights Bahamas from New Jersey (Anthem of the Seas) and she was fine, motion sickness wise. Is the Transatlantic too much for the kiddos and risk of motion sickness?? 4. Bringing bottled water onboard: I think I read there was no limit on how many bottles we can bring onboard. Can we pick up a case from Costco and bring it onboard no problem? 5. Will we get the full Disney Cruise experience on such a long cruise? I’m wondering if things are scaled back because it is such a long cruise and probably have less kids sailing?? Any comments regarding transatlantic sailings to help me make a decision will be much appreciated!! My hubby has never been to any of the parks and is not a Disney lover like me. I’m hoping to immerse him in a Disney cruise and make him fall in LOVE 😂
  10. On one reservation, yes, but on one, not yet 😡 it says no payments due on the main page where it lists all my sailings, but when I go in to the “make a payment” and insert my reservation number, it says amount owing… We sail in March as b2b so I’m a bit nervous but I have invoices showing it was paid in full so just crossing my fingers it’ll get worked out…
  11. This happened to me too for 2 reservations 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was told that it was a computer glitch and it shows that the cruises are paid in full so not to worry but of course I am worried!! For those of you waiting for refunds, check for refunds on the card you used to pay for the CRUISE FARE. I was told that there are 2 accounts: cruise fare account and add-on account. What happened to me was that the refunds for the add-ons were refunded from the cruise fare account, so my invoices showed I had amounts owing for the cruise fare….
  12. Is it easy/quick to move a booking that was paid for with FCC? I booked a refundable fare using a FCC. Just wondering what the turnaround time is like… Do they issue a new FCC (which could take days/weeks) or just transfer the amount of the FCC that was used on the old booking to a new one?
  13. One thing you can also do is get the refreshment package and just pay for the shot of alcohol to be mixed in with the mocktail when you want an alcoholic drink 🙂 I think I worked it out that if I only have one or two cocktails a day, buying the refreshment package and paying for the alcohol separately is still more economical than purchasing the deluxe beverage package (especially with our weak Canadian dollar causing the price of the package to be sooooo high!!!)
  14. I had to refresh and add things multiple times to get the correct sale price. For example, deluxe beverage package shows up as 20% off, then when I click on it, says it is 35% off, then when I add it, says buy one get one 50% off 🤦🏻‍♀️ Took me numerous times to get the correct price added into cart to check out! If you are not seeing discounted prices, click on it and add it to see if the prices go down. Another thing I found was that it was cheaper for me to add 1 device per person than to do the usual 2 device per person to get 2 internet packages… hoping it is a glitch and it’ll be resolved tomorrow and I’ll see the bigger discount doing 2 devices and save some more money!
  15. I was pricing out suites for Silhouette Dec 15 and the 3/4th passenger is VERY affordable (under a $1000CND!!) Are there any other deals on suites you have found recently that you can share??
  16. For my booking, I can only apply the WOW sale OBC if I don’t apply the crown and anchor $100 balcony discount. When i remove my crown and anchor number, the price of the cabin goes up $86 but gives me the $100 OBC. I’ve now learned to play around with applying different promos (crown and anchor, military, resident) to see what the “best” overall price is!
