Pricing is listed as $300 for karaoke, $375 for Celebrations, $300 for golf and $200 for movies. Most of them say max of 10 people with a $35 charge for people 11-15. There is a small list of inclusions that vary depending on what you reserve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in a room, off to itself, how could it bother some? Although I think the comment may have been made in jest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyNanaof4 Posted December 6, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I was unable to reserve the golf simulator in the Annex for any time or day - all grayed out. Does that imply "sold out"? My husband would love this - although it could be more fun if he rounded-up some new partners that might like to share the experience. Sort of like "create your own group".

I don't know who Peaches is and I didn't read the live review. A "room for rent" doesn't sound special. I looked at the Celebrity website and found nothing about it so I still don't know what it is. Is there something special about it or is it just a room you can rent for a private party? Or is it a conference room like most ships have?

Rare hcat Posted December 6, 2023 #18 Share Posted December 6, 2023 nice for a party but only as a group.. too bad, dh likes the golf simulator but when he did it way back it was a one on one with advice from the ship's golf pro...that would appeal to him if the pro put together group...

Had a golf simulator for hundreds of courses...one could simulate a full round of golf. But they also offer football, soccer, and possibly tennis...can't remember. And if you didn't want to simulate anything one could play video games on a large screen. The karaoke set up looked phenomenal and the seating area was cozy. I thought it looked like fun! Definitely not a conference room, but yes, a room for rent but with stuff to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK if enough people know about it yet for it to be sold out as it is only currently available on Assent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great but also too complicated to get a group together from our roll call.. Great event for a high end bachelor/ette party! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulh84 Posted December 13, 2023 #24 Share Posted December 13, 2023 FYI the website has been updated with some images and more details for each of the activities offered in the Annex. You can see it at the link below (make sure you are not logged into the Celebrity website to view the link). https://www.celebritycruises.com/account/cruise-planner/category/onboardactivities?bookingId=&shipCode=AT&sailDate=20240121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozecrooze Posted December 13, 2023 #25 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Simply for the purposes of documentation, so we can look back five years from now and stare in amazement at the pricing we had in 2023, I've decided to take screenshots of what's been shared: All four options have the same hours allowed: [Game Day Streaming] [Karaoke] [Celebrations Lounge] [Golf and Sport Simulator] All four options also have the same rules: Other bonuses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
