I believe for LONG time cruisers you need to go out be adventurous and try new things to keep it fun , most of our 30 something cruises have been Carnival and Royal Caribbean basically 50/50 over the past 20 years I have now jumped onto Celebrity started booking Retreat rooms which look wonderful and have started booking Norwegian and finding different type itineraries. That’s just my personal opinion.

You mean all ships don’t do that 🤔🤔

I have had this one for like 2 years more or less …been on 10 cruises throw it my checked bags , never been asked about it . It plugs in easy charge our phones . My IPad she uses for her curling iron if never been questions by anyone ever. I leave it out all the time so nobody has ever confiscated it . Just sayin no problem. It doesn’t get hot I have touched it .

You mean they wont go OH - as I walk by them 🤷‍♂️

Well that’s good to know we have a Galapagos booked in 24 . Will probably adjust a tad a take some extra clothes. Flying first class and have a Retreat room so plenty space and luggage allowed. Thanks.

Well I don’t go anywhere without my Ohio State hats …just sayin lol. But I can adjust on some other stuff. Thanks.

Just curious we are coming in about 30 days and catching her in Rome for a B2B and then the TA home . Do people dress up little more in Europe on formal nights vs the Caribbean? I say it’s pretty lax here I mean a nice shirt and pants go over here . Just debating on bringing a jacket and some nicer shirts vs Hawaiian type. Thanks .

Just curious we are heading to Europe in about a month, do people dress a little more formal on those cruises. We are going to be on the Apex B2B . Will have plenty of Hawaiian shirts and pants , just curious should I pack a Jacket 🤔🤔.

I would go buy a drink first just to see if they charge you , just got off a ship where we had that . Not only did give both of us get free drinks and it said Just YOU. We got and additional free play on the second card . It was a LOT . Was rather surprised but didn’t turn it down lol.

I am doing the same as the OP I last sailed Celebrity on the Summit in 09 , also when I was lot poorer LOL , we we are heading out the Apex in Oct. On B2B in A retreat room then on the Infinity in Aqua room on a B2B next spring . So any advice or insight is appreciated. I have been on 30 something cruises but this is new experience I am loving these new itineraries. TIA.

I’m not new to cruising but the Apex will be our first Celebrity cruise on B2B in Rome then the TA home it’s always surprising the new things learn and find out on a new ship and new cruise line.

We haved used Laundry on Carnival and Royal countless times never a problem , we normally have them do it where the hang it up pay a little extra . But have also used wash and fold as well on things like underwear and PJ and whatever will do it again.

We have 2 upcoming cruises where we are getting $1000 money to play on $200:OBC and free drinks anywhere on the ship , the cruise cost me like $500 for 2 basically paid tax and fees for balcony rooms . I haven’t paid for a Carnival cruise in a long time , don’t be pay for Royal Caribbean cruises either. But we do play in the casino so we do pay one way lol .

You want a deal , go spend some time in the casino. Use your card . Just sayin. They are offering deals galore for casino players and I mean fantastic deals . Don’t think I have to break the bank either.
