I had a “deluxe verandah” on deck 9.

My September 30th was cancelled. It was a Lift & Shift from my March 2023 cancelled Solstice cruise. Had not paid in full but had paid more than the deposit. https://youtu.be/paZiIaezsn4

That was me and I got nothing out of the review. I have never been comped or gifted anything by X. I do not sell cruises either, so no motive to convince folks to sail one ship over another. I was only sharing my experience and comparing the two classes of ships as folks recommended I try other Celebrity ships to see what my opinion was since I LOVE the E-class ships so much. Sailing the Summit and Solstice this Fall and am already excited for more Celebrity as it is my favorite line by far. Here are photos of my room, 9155 (1A):

It is my understanding that Indulge and Elevate are no longer being offered by X. It's now either No Perks or All Included.

Probably still a bit early to know for sure, but I would use the current protocols for Amsterdam embarkations and plan to that.

Just off the Beyond this past Saturday and loved it! If you enjoyed the Apex, you will love this ship. It's the Apex and then some. I personally had no problem with the new placement of the Cabanas on the pool deck - they're definitely in a much better place than they were on Edge/Apex. I was not impressed with Le Voyage. The service was incredible and the food was good - but it's not worth the price tag. I do YouTube and have several videos of the Beyond - including a full review of the ship - already on my channel. Link below.

Officially upgraded yesterday! Approximately one week out from the sail date. Good luck!

Nothing yet! In January when this happened on the Edge, it was exactly 5 days before the cruise. So I expect I will hear this weekend. The status is still unchanged when I check the MoveUp page - no more option to change my bid, Concierge bid is 'Expired', and Aqua is 'Pending'. My card has not been charged yet.

It stayed that way until approximately 5 days before the cruise. I was then charged and received the official email notification of the upgrade.
