Having the same problem this morning. Gave up. Don’t really need to sign in for what I wanted to see. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Never noticed it. I had to go to the website to see what this thread was referring to. Sometimes when there is too much it is like you can’t see the forest for the trees. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It use to be the prepaid gratuities, $400 pp SBC, premium bev pack, premium wifi. and butler. On our last cruise in a SS we didn’t have a dedicated butler but have heard that they are rolling out the service again starting on the Edge Class ships. May take some time to staffing the whole fleet. New bookings don’t include the gratuities or any SBC. Everything is nice but the way the prices are I doubt we will be booking anymore in a suite. Can’t justify the extra cost. I know people will say once you try a suite you will never go back. Not true. We have done it a few times and not missed it. We booked our next 3 cruises in AQ and won’t do a move up bid. Enjoy it while you can and don’t chase after what others do. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Do you think? I am sure that they regret commissioning her. Too bad they let her ruin the other ships during their upgrading before waking up. I do have to congratulate Kelly for giving them a bigger con job than P. T. Barnum, and snow job than Colonel Parker. Shame on those that approved the final designs. They should all be canned. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The big winner is not designed by Kelly Hoppen. I wonder why they made that comment????🙄 Adding 12 more cabins with a capacity of 4 people will also add 12 to 48 more passengers in Luminae with the normal being 24. The area isn’t that large and If they add more tables it will be very congested Happy to see that they are going to have a walk in shower instead of those dangerous bath tubs. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

If you booked thru a big box warehouse your cruise won’t be eligible. I think there is also a clause that pertains to group rates not being eligible. 🤷‍♂️ Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We usually sail in AQ and occasionally a suite depending on the price point. I have heard many comments that the suites and AQ get the best room attendants and servers. I don’t know where they get that info. We had some that were rookies. It was their first time ever on a cruise ship. We have had some bad ones but overall they have been good. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We were on the Seashore in Feb in the YC for a 3 night cruise. We wanted to test the waters. Another couple joined us as they never cruised before and wanted to try one. They were also in the YC. The elevator system sucked. The choice of bourbons was Buffalo Trace. Excuse: The supplies haven’t been distributed. Nothing else was available for the whole cruise. Wine choice were minimal. Basically red or white. Exaggerating a little but not by much. Not many choices During the evening we were sitting in the lounge having a drink and just relaxing. We were served drinks and asked for a napkin. The response, they are at the bar. Asked for a Americano at breakfast. The server started to pour coffee out of a pitcher. I said I want a Americano. She said yes it is coffee. I said no it is espresso with hot water. She said that she never heard of that. Reading all of the great experiences and threads of reviews I read on CC I was expecting the same. I guess my expectations were too high. Didn't experience anything near theirs. The other couple felt the same. They weren’t impressed enough to take another cruise. Me and my wife aren’t high maintenance. We are mainly do it ourself type. Don’t like others doing something that we can do ourselves. We don’t demand or ask for much but we found that normal service was very poor and lacking. Before the cruise I was excited and planning on booking another cruise on board but I didn’t. It didn’t impress me. Sorry. One and done.

You will probably have to cancel the existing cruise and book a new one. If you have to do that it is best to do it on board and get a new future cruise booking for the SBC. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It was many years ago. I always keep roaming turned off on my phone. Don’t see any use for it. I am not sure how that international plan works but my niece went to a casino in Windsor Ontario. It is a city across from Detroit. She got hit will a large bill because she was texting and her phone was connected to I think was called Rogers Service. She purchased the international plan from AT&T to use for a future cruise. She also got a big bill for her usage on board the ship. Don’t really know the whole story but I don’t see the need to keep in touch with anyone unless it is really important. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The last time on the Beyond we went to get our free scoop of gelato. We were ready to give our card and was told it wasn’t needed as they didn’t charge for the gelato. There was only one flavor per day. Sometimes there is a very long line and other times walk up. It is in the buffet at the ice cream station. We recently got off of doing 3 cruises on Celebrity and didn’t even bother getting our free scoop on any of those cruises. It doesn’t seem to be any different than their ice cream. Put the two side by side and get it the taste test. Wouldn’t pay extra for it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We have did both. The create and pour was fun. They served some wine while the artist instructed us how to do a sketch. It was also very interesting The music and Mixology consisted of a BT making 4 different drinks while someone explained how to make it and what is in it while some music is being played by the band. It has been the same drink on different cruises. Manhattan, Mai Tai, Cosmo and something made with Pimms and I think Champagne. The Mai Tai doesn’t really taste like one and wasn’t that good. Actually none of them were worth drinking. As you can see this is how the drinks looked when we left. We had a drink pack but if we didn’t we probably would have finished them, The event last about 1/2 hour. On our last cruise they only made 3. They didn’t do the Cosmo.

We have ATT. I have permanently turned off roaming. I live close to Canada and sometimes with roaming on we would pick up Canada and get hit with the bill. When we board the ship in FL we never had that problem with extra charges. We would turn on air plane mode after we connect to the ships internet as we usually have the internet package. It would be very easy to forget about doing that if we didn’t. We will also remind each other for the same reason. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The reason he did that was because I was there the first 2 days during the afternoon when my wife was napping. I would sit there watching the sports or just talking to him.or passengers. I would always ask for MM neat. I had about 3 by that time and when I asked for another he brought me the bottle and asked if I needed a straw. He was just messing around, everyone laughed and some asked me what kind of package I had. After that it became the standing joke whenever I order my first drink. I would ask for the MM and he would bring over the bottle and ask if I needed a straw. Naturally I didn’t get it all at once but I know I emptied a few of them. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We were on the Beyond in Feb. This was posted in the casino. It is the qualifications for a comped cruise. We had a lot of SBC so my wife and I both ran it thru the VP machines once to “cash’ it out. I did about $500 or $600 and my wife did about the same. At the end I had 54 points. Bonus was 50 points also gave $1 free play. My wife ended up with 47. It wasn’t worth playing more to get the extra 3 points for a $1 free play. We ended up losing about 8% of our SBC. It looks like we got around 100 points/ $1000 played. At that rate I would have to play $4000 thru the machines losing $320 to get $100 off I think regular slots earn more. Don’t know what table game earn. Good luck gaming 💰💸🎰

I went to a bar and asked for MM neat. The bartender brought me the bottle and asked if I needed a straw. Didn’t have to ask for a double. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Why would Celebrity require you to sign a receipt with a zero charge creating more paper when they are trying to go green and eliminate excess paper. It also adds more useless work for the staff keeping them from serving the passengers. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t remember if there was on that cruise. It was fairly nice weather and the seas were rather smooth. There were times on all ships when the seas were rough that you would hear creaking, and other noises. It does seem though as if the new Edge class ships have more louder noises in their cabins than the other classes. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

If you are in a suite and book one of those cabins for a family member that are also in the same category. That is the purpose of those cabins. You may have to pay more than the rate for an inside cabin. It is like those adjoining cabins next to the penthouse suites on the M class. We had 11172 and asked the attendant about the adjoining door to 11170. He said it is for families in that suite wanting the extras space for others traveling with them. It isn’t the same as booking a regular inside cabin, or IV with a SS. That is also why I suggested to look into it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I always pack a few. One for the can, bottle of beer or water, and one for a glass. They wlll give you a glass of ice if you request it. I use these Freakers. The one that goes on a bottle will cover a wine bottle, and a 64 oz growler. They stretch that much and don’t loose their shape. They also fit in a pocket when not using over a container. https://www.freakerusa.com Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t think they have carbonated fountain drinks. Everything is in a can. I always see them pour from a can to make mix drinks that use soda. I mention this because some people do prefer a drink from a fountain over a can. Relatives have told me that they go to McD’s to get their colas because they say it is better than from a bottle or can. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Look into a Magic Carpet suite with the adjoining inside cabin, or IV cabin next to it. It may be cheaper and you each have a private cabin. Inside cabin 11184, or 11178. Or IV 11188, or 11170. They can be accessed thru an outside door, and the connectiing cabin. The line shows the connection between the cabins. The other is the outside door. This is deck 11, the other decks probably have the same available Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The benefit of a suite on that ship is a larger cabin, Michaels club, and Luminae, plus the easy embarkation. There are also other perks and private events in Michaels. You also get the premium bev pack and internet. We like suites but our next cruise is in a veranda. We couldn’t justify the big difference in cost. It is over $2,000 pp for a 7 day cruise after adding the option of the classic drink pack and WiFi, and upgrading to the premium pack that was on sale. Our last cruise was in a suite and most times for dinner we ordered from the MDR or Blu menu. We could also add the unlimited dining pack and still be way ahead. Suites aren’t selling out like they use to. You have to do a 10% deposit, and gratuities, and SBC are not included in the price like there use to be. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Totally agree. I don’t play that game and don’t ever want to. I was reading about all of the injuries to the senior citizens. I know injuries can happen to anyone but why push it. My neighbor has a full football scholarship at a Big 10 university . He was doing a drill running backwards and tore his Achilles during the season. He had to under go surgery and is still in rehab. This is a trained athlete. I wouldn’t want this to happen on a cruise. Can’t imagine the expense and everything else related to it just to show how great I am at the game. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
