If you can’t use EZ check, FLL has a luggage storage service just down the escalators from check-in. We used it a couple weeks ago when we had a late flight home. $10/bag until 5pm that day. With our luggage being stored we went to see a movie and have lunch before our flight.

Correct, if you don’t have some sort of drinks package it is cheaper to bring your own onboard. I had a NA drinks package and brought mine onboard because I never dreamed they’d stock it, but they did.

Thank you both, @Host CJSKIDS and @TAW1963 - sounds like I will be bringing a 12-pk on board. Appreciate your help!

In case you're curious, here is a pic of the drinks cooler from Ascent's coffee shop/bar in the buffet area. I was shocked they stock Fresca, so just wanted to help prevent others from bringing a 12-pk on board in case they're Fresca-heads like myself.

Hi all-

Wondering if anyone has insight to all the varieties of diet soda they stock on Sky Princess? I just got off a Celebrity Ascent cruise and was pleasantly surprised they stocked Fresca. I had brought a 12-pk of Fresca on board but apparently didn't need to do that. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Does anyone know if Ascent has jigsaw puzzles available? Not sure if there is a library with puzzles?

I’m confused. How does anyone know this since the ship hasn’t even been boarded. 

Maybe they let her on to film and promo for the cruise? She also has pics of a bridge tour with the captain.

Mama Kelce is on board in a two bedroom suite!!! 

Sort of? Our sailing was Jan 19-26 so I guess they cancelled us for that last day? Appreciate the sleuthing. 

Appreciate your thorough response, @Haljo1935 - I will call them and check the schedules. 

Just got an email cancelling our Jan 2025 Rotterdam cruise with no details why, and no details about our $700 deposit. 

Is this standard? Any insights would be most appreciated.

Martini Bar

Nice to see there’s at least one vodka available for the Classic package.

I’m on the Sapphire cruise and last I looked, there is a KJ farm to table dinner for $400pp - yeah, no thanks.

Did you try turning it off and then on again? /s 🤣

Anyone else try streaming Wi-Fi on Sapphire the past few months and care to share how it was?

Highway robbery....$6.95 for a domestic beer.......almost as bad as FedEx Field! The main difference being you're only at the football game for 3 hours...not an entire week!

When I traveled on LOS in 2012, all three colored packets were all aspartame but colored to make you think they were different. I knew this ahead of time so brought my own Splenda.

I just signed up for this Punta Sur excursion since it was recommended on this forum in another thread.

I just got off the Inspiration 3-day which I was told was the ship's second sailing with the new menu. We had table cloths. One night I ordered a Hazelnut Tiramisu (pic) which didn't taste much like hazelnut at all and the center was frozen. I didn't finish it.

There was an ahi tuna app (pic) the first night that was great. Under the port of call section out of LA there was a miso salmon (pic) that was excellent. On elegant night I also tried the sea bass option that said it has a citrus cream sauce, but it tasted like tartar sauce all over an over-cooked piece of fish. I didn't finish it.

I sampled the lobster and shrimp that night which was ok, but a bit too salty for my taste and the risotto it came with was mushy and no one at the table finished theirs.

The last night I tried the vegetarian option which was a portobello stuffed with kale (pic), but when it arrived it was just thin strips of mushroom layered in between super-salty greens. The orange-colored sauce on this dish was tasty, though. The dessert I tried was a banana bread pudding (pic) with coconut ice cream - both were good.

We had the calamari (pic) every night which was good and I also had the flatbread (pic) a couple nights which was tasty.

Any word on the Dr Seuss roll out schedule?

Good luck!

So are you going to cancel and re-book?
