Perhaps they talked to the port agent when they finally got to the dock.

Not as crazy as one of our bookings when the price of a Royal suite was more than the PH we booked before we could even finalize the booking with our CVP.

Thanks, we have 15 months until our sailing. I just booked it to take advantage of the discount not knowing that they changed the policy.

Thanks for this information. We are not on Beyond until 2024 and I booked Le Voyage using OBC. Now I can cancel it.

@lme901We did a repo cruise from New Jersey to Ft Lauderdale so I think you got bad information re the PVSA.

Just finished it.

Right after the extended Black Friday Sale that morphed into the Semi-Annual Sale.

I saw the NYE menu for Murano's. The menu items were exactly the same. 2 appetizers and entrees had different preparations but still the same food. We decided to dine at Luminae that night.

Agree, if they are being offered for booking then you should feel free to book.

I don't think the views would be that good. Doesn't the cabanas face a walkway? If so there will be people standing at the rail and you would be sitting down and back aways.

This happened to us years ago. Luckily we caught it on board and guest relations managed to correct it. I think it had to do with how we were checked in. There was a log of confusion at the check in station, the agent didn't seem to know what she was doing. Never had that problem again but I always check our accounts to be sure.

We got an email notification that our credit card had been charged. Not too long after that we got the email from Celebrity about the upgrade.

Was it for lunch on port days?

Anyone on medication, even OTC, is probably advised to avoid alcohol. Getting an exemption would appear to be easy.

Our CVP only books for Celebrity. Her phone calls on caller ID state RC. Her emails are from Celebrity. I recently got an email from RC about the changes in the free drinks during happy hour, but I've never cruised with RC, even though I have a loyalty # with them. As long as they get my dining reservations right I;m happy.

I don't think they do a running balance.

They will take walkups depending on availability.

I can never understand why it is important to know if tips are pooled or not. The crew signs a contract knowing and agreeing to various requirements, including compensation. It's not my place to ask how they are paid. I give extra tips to those who go what I consider above basic service levels. If it is in a dining venue with different servers throughout the cruise I give an envelope to the hostess or Maitre d for the staff. I also fill out attention to detail cards to recognize some one who has been particularly helpful.

No, we are Elite+ and got the email a few days ago. I was able to connect and found it a waste of time. It did have some good graphics and avatars but I found navigation clunky. I can watch U-Tube videos of the same thing.

Who is the new captain?

Checked it out. Not worth my time.

You get Luminae and the Retreat, 2 bottles of alcohol, unlimited specialty dining, bottle of champagne, free laundry and dry cleaning. These are the amenities. You do not get the premium beverage package, upgraded WIFI, pre paid gratuities and additional OBC which are considered perks. If you book the RS instead of a move up, you would get the perks that come with the suite as well as the amenities.

Except for the bar at Eden, which is above the restaurant and not part of it, the Specialty restaurants don't have bars. If you go to dinner at one you can order a drink and it will most likely come from a nearby bar. If you see something on a menu that you want to try see if you can order it from a bar.

We board Reflection on New Year's Eve and expect it to be a Chic night. My husband will bring and wear his tux 2 nights. His choice and we don't care what others are wearing as long as they follow the dress code. I will also wear an evening outfit, but not a gown.

We will probably miss him too.
