Keep checking the app. Sometimes an earlier check in time will open up.

When booking with the AI rate both guests must book that way. If booking without AI then only one guest can buy a beverage package.

If you have a beverage package you will probably not encounter long lines at most bars.

I agree with the posts re nickel and diming, trying to make up for lost revenue, etc. However why is this only, so far based on app menus, an option for suites? If trying to make up for lost revenue why aren't these menu items offered to any cabin class via room service? And, having already paid for free specialty dining by booking a higher level suite, why are we now being asked to pay for items through room service. I get paying for the Chef's Table, Champagne Dinner, up charge items in Tuscan (not sure I agree with this or think they are worth it) 5 Senses Menu (since you can order the same food and comparable wine with a beverage package). If Celebrity wants to make up for lost revenue, offer these items across all cabin classes. On our cruise boarding on New Years Eve, I can see a lot of guests wanting room service the next day.

We got the points for the June quiz. Don't know when it showed up but I think it might have been today.

These items are on the room service menu for suites on our December cruise. You can order dinner from the MDR in a suite and possibly from other cabins too. We've had dinner from Tuscan in a RS.

Aren't these items new to the Room Service menu for suites? I don't remember seeing them before and they look a bit more elaborate than the usual room service menu.

As long as you have them saved on your phone you don't have to print anything.

One of our was repriced and we received a booking confirmation with the amount right away. It also shows up on your online account. Go to the reservation and "Plan My Cruise" The OBC available should show up there.

Curious, was the couple in Luminae the same people in the cabin above you? Could they have been Zenith level CC members?

You did not organize the cruise. Everyone booked independently. Friend #2 is a seasoned cruiser so they should know the parameters of dining in Luminae vs Blu. From your post you did not encourage either friend # 2 or # 3 to book and neither asked your advice. If you want to splurge on a meal in Luminae for everyone, I'm sure they would like it but I would not feel obligated to do that, or to take responsibility for friends who booked without consulting you re the aspects of various cabins.

We've never booked this package but have never heard anyone else mention this. When you book the retreat the additional OBC is listed as an excursion credit but it can be used for anything.

We go to Luminae for lunch when we board and the 1st night for dinner. After that it is anyone's guess. The only time we went consistently for breakfast was on Edge when we were right across the hall from Luminae. The last night Luminae was super busy and we wished we had gone to a specialty. (There were only 900 or so guests but suites were sold out.) Our last cruise on Silhouette we spent a lot of time in Murano's and I have to admit we were getting a little bored with it. Pre covid they prepared 3 off menu meals for us and I guess we were hoping for a repeat. Our next cruise we will definitely mix it up for dinner and will enjoy lunch at the Porch and Sushi on 5 on port days. Might even try room service for lunch on New Year's day.

Can you post the link to the site that has the expiration date. I've looked several times and can't find anything besides the link to the letter. Thanks

We had to print ours recently due to winning a move up bid. We were out of colored inks and printed them with black & white. We were in a PH suite and luggage was not delivered when it should have been. Our Butler and Suites Manager went looking for it and brought it to us. I'm convinced it was because the tags were B&W. Or, maybe it was one of the 1st cruises out of Fll after the restart.

I did the same, smoked 17 years and quit 38 years ago. To the original question; If it is allowed, how could they monitor the bathroom only rule?

No, I've never heard of this. It is a set charge + gratuity per person/per day. The price difference of $1.60 is the 18% gratuity. Doesn't look like it was added to the first booking but maybe quoted with the 2nd booking. Or, if the bookings were not made at the same time they could be basing the upgrade amount on the original price vs the current price.The new benefits are 10% discount on upgraded beverage packages for Elite & Elite+. 5% for lower levels.

Your test results document seems to have everything you need to show it was a monitored test.

Because they can?🤔 Glad you found it, it took me a while too.

@jg51Log into your account and go to your reservation. Select plan my cruise and click on your initials in the top right corner. The dropdown will include a link to My Order History. I'm using my laptop. If you are traveling with someone they will need their own account to view the items purchased with the cruise under AI. If you purchased spa, dining or excursions for both of you, you will see them on your account.

How about $2,640 (give or take $15) PP/PN in an Iconic Suite. That's before port fees and insurance. One just popped up on the January 2024 Panama Canal cruise on Beyond.

Or, on a laptop or computer scroll to the very bottom of the page. The very last link under Customer Support is the Site Map. This brings up everything that I remember being on the menu. Shrinking the page didn't work for me. It got very small horizontally but not vertically and no menu hamburger.

Is it just me or are you tired of seeing "I/We got covid after a cruise."? Covid is here to stay, we will either get it or not. The best we can hope for after getting all shots and boosters is for a mild case. It is a risk we take whether cruising or shopping, etc. Some things we have to do, cruising is not one of them, so it is a personal decision to cruise. Please feel free to report this post.

One last question, when you get the $500 credit on your CC don't they reduce the number of points you have by 500 or 1000 (double celebrity points)? Since we rarely have a balance from on board spending after the cruise due to AI and OBC I'd rather take my $500 up front.

@cruisestitchI've seen you post this before and I still don't know how you come out ahead. You owe 9500, pay 9500, turn in points to get a credit of 500 on your CC that you spend on board. Or You owe 9500, turn in points to get a reduction of your cruise fare of 500. You now owe 9000 and you pay 9000. You then spend 500 on board. The net amount coming out of your checking account is still 9500.
