Thank you all for the replys. Cate54 , the video you posted, is EXACTLY what I needed, I can't than you enough 😁😁😁

Has anyone ever been in an ADJOINING signature suite on the Nieuw Amsterdam. I can't find a picture and I am curious about where the adjoining door is?? do you lose some closet or the vanity. Trying to get a clear understanding, we would be booking with family, but NOT the same household. If I could see an image of the adjoining door OR hear from a 1st hand account.... I could decide weather to do adjoining or go for JUST nextdoor.. Thank you

Ty 😊

Would anyone happen to know when RC might open the bookings for ovation May 2025 for Alaska?

I believe it could be possible that since their called "taxes and FEES" and aren't itemized, the cruise lines may have found a new revenue stream. I say this BECAUSE when comparing different cruises on different lines with IDENTICAL ports, they have different taxes and fees (example ncl even when the prices are close and comparing only base rates) So like a ncl vs celebrity, same $, cabin only no packages....until now ncl taxes and FEES have been significantly higher. And just like "resort fee(hotels) and checked bags fee(airlines)" All cruise line may be jumping on to the "FEE" creative accounting.

I don't believe you could purchase Any travel insurance after final payment is due.

😁

Whether you spend on board exactly like the op or NOT, I don't believe is the op's point. A lot of companies are doing this nowadays, they assume customers are too lazy or too busy to actually do the math for themselves. Something has no valve if included in a package, that I won't use or buy anyways (internet). Companies make a fortune on these gimmicks; we don't really drink alcohol and could never justify adding the plus to 'just try new drinks'. We are die hard 'pay as you go'.... no stress, if we think about every purchase then the total bill at the end of my cruise ...is what it is.

I bring my own pillows cases 7 for 7 night cruise, taking them off in the am. And ask for no vacuuming, their vacuums are crap and just make room worse

I grow up being told.... if they'd lie about the little insignificant things, of course they'd about the big things. I believe this holds TRUE with people and corporations.

Hope this doesn't break the rules about hijacking thread but my question is about water and everyone is mostly talking about water not just aqua class.... We ONLY drink water, have classic packages, WONT drink can water... Would celebrity let me convert my classic packages to Zero proof packages that DO include bottled water?? Figure it's a win money wise for then... ps I WONT drink tap water either, encase your suggestion might be remove classic packages and drink tap

It's been a decade since I cruised NCL. Looking to book ncl JOY. I've seen videos on YouTube showing the bed alternately from near the bath and balcony (as most other cruise lines do) BUT I have also seen the configuration, flip flop....ie just because entrance door is on left of cabin, DOESNT always mean bed is by the bathroom.... Meaning to me there seems to be 4 versions and you can't predict the bed placement as usual. Normally I'd find a video where the bed is where I want and book that exact cabin but available cabins dont match any videos and I can't seem to figure it out. I'd like a MB with the entrance door is on the left of the cabin and the bed is by the balcony..... like the video by 'millennials at sea' cabin #12270 ANY WAY FOR ME TO FIGURE THIS OUT? Ty in advance 😁

Excellent job narrating and photos.

I realize this is a long shot and unusual BUT Does anyone out there have the exact dimensions of the sleeper sofa? example >> regular twin bed is 75x38 Happy to give more info just didn't want to OVER explain in my question, sometimes people will actually answer about the supporting info instead of the question. Ty in advance

Does anyone know about the 1st 2 balconies on deck 7, they are porthole balconies BUT the walls of the cabin show as straight.. instead of bump outs Do you get more room, less room etc

So if I understand correctly, download statement (8 pages) as pdf, and I can then attach it to the request form? AND if I do that how do I black our acct #

DITTO, if your taking the train from seattle go ANYWHERE else until around 1:30 or 2:00, even if your draging your bags around...... it will STILL be better

My issue would be.... this being enforced during BREAKFAST on a port day. Seems like all people including men in ball caps should have been given a pass.

A baseball cap will keep the heat in, visors keep sun out of eyes and most of your face, and IMHO look better on women than ball caps (my opinion)

I doubt any spas would open at 6am, but just wanted to throw that out there... Showers and comfy chairs..... massage yes please

I wish I could say people's ignorance surprises me..."Ohhh what a world, what a world."

I know what you need when we last sailed celebrity there were 2 water packages , NOW none and all we drink is Bottled water

Oh that surprised me. I booked direct thru celebrity. And went and double checked via a mock booking and there were indeed 3 choices anytime, 6 or 830 Thank you for the info

We are booked on apex for Nov (we've cruised celebrity before but on a much older ships). I chose the 6pm dining. Not the anytime dining. The more I investigate Apex it seems their mdr have different cuisines. Will we be randomly given a mdr/cuisine and have that all week or do they rotate us. Wondering if I should change to anytime so we have cuisine choices.
