Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Here’s the current drinks package flyer. 0% versions of beers are listed with the alcoholic beers not in the zero proof section. Non alcoholic cocktails are included in the zero proof package but it’s not clear whether other available 0% drinks are. Logically they should be but I wouldn’t bet on it! 2024+Celebrity+Cruises+Drinks+by+Package.pdf
  2. Yes you pay the difference and 20% gratuity on that additional amount
  3. There’s also the deluxe porthole veranda cabins which we’re booked on in July for the first time on E class. We chose it after looking at lots of pictures and videos and it seems like a good value choice for us. We don’t sunbathe and are going to Norway so it should meet our needs.
  4. Nope, perfect thread. Brenda was the original author whose brilliant review I came across 5 years later when searching for something else!
  5. Short answer, probably! There are some big box stores that aren’t included in the move up programme. I’m in the UK and have only ever booked direct. Have a look on the Celebrity website. Be aware that you can make bids on multiple room types, and edit your bids until one is accepted. As soon as a bid is accepted it cannot be cancelled and payment will be taken.
  6. I just got an email and it’s day 81! I’m going to watch and see if the minimum bids come down. I’m not interested in suites and I think a SV is less good for Norwegian fjords because the scenery is to the side so looking mainly at Aqua.
  7. Looking on the app for the current Apex cruise it says just the $5 late night charge. Then for next week’s cruise and my July one it says the usual $10 except continental breakfast.
  8. I came across your review through a search I was doing. You are such a funny writer 🤣 I’ve been reading bits out to my other half. I think our favourite was ‘running around like a squirrel on crack!’ Thank you so much for writing the post a whole 5 years ago now.
  9. Thank you for starting the thread. I’ve been wondering the same. We’re at 91 days out with final payment due end of the month (we’re in the UK so different final payment date)
  10. Norway for the third time! All the way to Tromso, Honninsvag and a day trip to the North Cape! I have all 29 bars and restaurants (minus suites and blu) on a list to tick off on apex!
  11. They are obviously a lot less spacious balconies but we’ve booked a deluxe porthole veranda on Apex for this summer. I did a lot of research and partly for price and partly to have a proper balcony we went with the porthole after reading and watching reviews and looking at photos online
  12. Thank you so much for taking the time to do a comprehensive review @JackE We’re going on our third Celebrity cruise this summer and are considering trying Virgin. The aunt that got us into Celebrity always went with her late husband so we might take her (and my mum) on Virgin as a memory free alternative. We’d look to sail out of Portsmouth, UK and maybe try a 4/5 night cruise to Amsterdam to start off with.
  13. The 2024 timetable is available and we’ve booked for July already. Just search online for Norway’s best
  14. Hi, has anyone got a picture of the paper daily planner for a recent Apex cruise? Destination doesn’t matter. I’m in full read and look at everything mode for our July artic circle cruise! We didn’t use all the spaces on Silhouette after she was revolutionised so I’m going to aim to try every venue at least once! Ok maybe not every speciality restaurant! But every bar, lounge and relaxation space I can find!
