Just to clarify and we received a move up to an Edge Villa on Beyond, that Le Voyage is not included in the dining package

I was just informed that Le Voyage is not included in the dining

that's what we are hoping for...wondering if we need to do VIP check in to be safe. the 9:55 is direct, and home 7 hrs earlier...also $312 cheaper so almost covers the VIP check in......

wonder if flying to Chicago would be as easy...

thank you!

anyone succeeded (or failed) at making a 9:55 flight in Rome (FCO) on 9/5 if we self-disembark, first off the ship (Beyond)? United Business and we can have a driver at the port early... will appreciate all advice! currently on a 12:55, but the 9:55 is nonstop....

What are the bonus perks that The penthouse on 11 doesn’t get? I didn’t realize there was something other than room size/features itself. I suspect I would choose the private hot tub 🙂.

Thank you so much. This trip on Beyond will be my first time on Celebrity. I have to say that ad right at purchase, especially the last line “Enjoy a 1-day Thermal Suite and Thalassotherapy Pool experience during your cruise with this pass”—makes their advertisement to purchase the spa pass almost stunningly misleading.

I agree, although that's their choice, but it is soooo frustrating to look for a 12. And when one is left you can't even see which as it's just "Best Available" ...easier now to look for 11 in its own category,

on the site for Celebrity Beyond--their description of the SEA thermal suite refers to a thalassotherapy pool... are we sure there isn't one? Set sail on a journey to ultimate relaxation with this sensory oasis. Inspired by traditional Turkish Baths, our Thermal Suite features heated chaise lounges as well as aromatic steam and sauna grottos - a perfect interlude to your day. Then, soak in our Thalassotherapy Pool, a therapeutic, natural-bubbling salt-water spring. This mineral-rich body of water has healing powers for de-stressing, pain relief, and to soothe dry skin. Enjoy a 1-day Thermal Suite and Thalassotherapy Pool experience during your cruise with this pass.

and on 11! Really think they need deck 10 aft OS to be in a different booking category than 12, rather than just the asterisk saying no hot tubs on 10.

The specialty dining haven’t had any 7 or 730, our preferred times. We’ll deal!

any idea what time would work for dinner to be able to go to shows? wondering if the 8 pm dinner slot will still work...

Yeah, it’s a real bummer. It would be nice if it were different to add a 3rd v the entire cabin. We can still be together for day touring in Sicily, Naples and Rome if they fly into Sicily, then fly to Naples and then to Rome.

Has anyone had luck adding another passenger to the cruise and having them join just for the last few days (in an Italian port)? We were upgraded to an Edge Villa, but the kids can’t get away for the entire time. Found the answer: as of 12/21, Celebrity no longer allows “downline embarkation”. At least I learned a term of art!

I am just Emerald on RCL so nothing really beneficial yet!

Even if they are Move Up upgrades? When I go to make reservations, it’s still showing pricing and asking for credit card info. Would you recommend that I just wait until on board? I don’t want to cancel my current bookings and lose the reservations (although I suppose I should do a regular meal at Le Voyage rather than the tasting I had booked if that’s not covered!).

i think I read we might have to walk through the retreat to get to the cabin from the elevator on 16 but I'm down with that...my partner has some broken toes so it's really for him that ai worried, but he but is strong enough to handle the door if the stairs get to him. I am actually looking forward to going up the stairs to work off those two bottles they apparently put in the room:)

CELEBRITY MOVE UP TRACKER Ship: Beyond Length of Cruise: 9 days Cruise Sail Date: August 27, 2022 Date email offer received: not sure, I went into move up on the site to bid 4 days ago (Monday) Captain’s Club Tier [“PREVIEW” = first Celebrity Cruise]: Select? 1st or 2nd cruise Booked through Celebrity Direct OR via TA: via my TA Current Cabin: Aqua Sky Suite Bid? Yes/No: Yes If YES - Bidding Details: Cabin Category: Edge Villa Bid Offer: $1,620 pp Notification Date: Today, 4 days after bidding 8/12/22 Accepted / Rejected Accepted General Comments (offer details, etc.) it was above minimum and the meter said it was a strong offer. The Edge Villas were not selling well on this cruise... I also bid $1,070 on a Royal Suite which was rejected, that had been described as a weak offer.

will do!

edit: the upgrade just went through, 15 days before sailing to cabin 15104. so I'm going to be happy about it and deal with whatever issues there are 🙂! but still would like to be prepared..this is my first time on Celebrity... i suppose I now pay for spa access (just one or two sea days, so 2 days probably suffice) but hopefully get a credit for specialty dining?

i called. for 7 days, 2 people it was $686 for plus, and $140 to add streaming.

Trigger warning: first world problem! i was very happy with my Aqua sky suite, but got caught up in the idea of bidding. bid on a Royal Suite and Edge Villa (described as a strong bid I think), the latter is still pending 2 weeks out, there are 4 of 6 left. the modify/cancel button didn't work for me so I will go with the flow. I thought we'll survive the stairs and enjoy the private hot tub in lieu of the spa access and close view of waking to the ocean. but then I read all sorts of iffy reviews on the windy nature of the balcony (not sure if those were Mediterranean cruises), motion of the cabin, heavy doors, hard couch (we would just be sitting). i like the exercise of the stairs so ok with that aspect. perhaps that is why it isn't selling straight (or the crazy price point). but those reviews are all Apex and Edge. anyone stayed in the Beyond Edge and have any info to ease my mind? Service being good, etc? i'd like to be comfy I'll be happy either way!

I had the unlimited dining on Oasis and was glad for it. i preferred the specialty over my one dinner in coastal kitchen. loved the civilized breakfast though.

for me the streaming upgrade was an additional $10 a day, with $70 as a separate line item.
