  1. Only a certain amount of Discount (pre Cruise) Specialty Dining packages are offered for Each cruise. Once they are Sold that offer is Gone and removed from the site. If you are Elite+ you can book onboard at a discount, and I was told that discount also lowers the required Tip.
  2. I think the Cruise Only prices are Great! We don't want or need the expensive Drink package and just add pre-paid Tips and get the upgraded WiFi when they have a Flash Sale.
  3. What I ended up doing because I like using the clear plastic tag holders from Amazon with their stainless steel cables was to White Out the old cabin numbers and write in the new ones. Also there is a 4 section sort of Map on the tags that show what part (Generally) of the ship your bags should go to so be sure to change that if necessary. Or just wait till you arrive and have the new tags made up if you trust that process.
  4. Well I guess the Crews quarters are the closest thing to the Old Steerage Class on today's cruise ships?
  5. 8 future cruises booked with Celebrity and I am satisfied with the product. We tried other (mostly more Expensive) Cruise lines and found out we did Not like smaller ships and it seems the More Expensive the Cruise Line the Less FUN things are included. It's a great Time to Cruise because with all the Different Kinds of Cruise Lines available there is Something for Every taste and expectation! Sail On..................
  6. I was on Reflection (TA, October) and at that time Bingo Cards were only on sale the Day Before a game? We figured it gave the casino more time to "Adjust" the wining $ amounts Or to be able to cancel the game if not enough cards were sold?
  7. Mine were both 2 weeks out but that was a year ago. When I called X and they said they had no connection to MoveUp so IF they have fixed That we are all better off!
  8. FBC has (Twice) gotten me to my Cruise when the Airlines Cancelled my flights at the last minute. One of those got us on a Flight was listed as overbooked. Sorry it didn't work for you.
  9. The ones Oceania send out are not very secure so I trim them down to the size that fits into the clear holders we use for Celebrity and I feel the steel cable that's used with them are stronger.
  10. I'm glad if they Fixed the MoveUp luggage tags in the Edocs. I'm 0 for 2 on that.
  11. Usually but after checking every day for the last 4 days found my Edocs showed up on the website for a Jan 2nd. .2024 cruise at 27 Days out. Also IF you are awarded a MoveUp upgrade your Edocs will probably never show your New stateroom number luggage tags so you will have to have tags made out at the pier on arrival. MoveUp is operated by an outside contractor and it seems the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.........
  12. I like Connie and the wife and I will be onboard in September 2024 after it's latest spring drydocking/upgrades.
  13. First off there are few choices and most were to strange for our taste. Listed as "Healthy Choice"? The first night we left and went to the MDR where we were told we could order off the MDR menu in Blu so that's what we did most nights. Also on that M class ship Blu had to many tables in that small space and we were almost elbow to elbow to the people in the table next to us. The low ceiling (overhead to you Navy types) seemed to make the noise worse than the MDR. YMMV.....
  14. You are upset with Celebrity but believe me this can (and Does) happen on other cruise lines ships. Frends just got off a P-----s ship with No mention of Covid and both had it. I hope you are more satisfied with whatever cruise line you travel with in the future.
  15. Just ask the Stateroom attendant to change it if it is not to your liking. I recently ask to have the Bed in my cabin changed from a side facing configuration to a Fore/Aft one and although the attendant thought it was a little strange he did it.
  16. If the menu in Blu is more appealing than Luminae then I'm never going to bother booking a Suite as I find the menu in Blu Very unappealing.
  17. When I don’t see anything on the MDR menu worth waiting for I go to the OVC and can always find something I like. It’s faster also.
  18. We found Aqua a complete waste of money spent as our main motivation was to try eating in Blu and it turned out the Menu in Blu was so unappetizing we ended up ordering off the MDR menu most nights. Not we just book a plain Veranda stateroom and use the money saved on Specialty Dining.
  19. I usually see a Lot of Chocolate deserts in the OVC and most E and S class ships have CC Cookies many days. I'm not a chocoahaulic but the MDR Lava Cake looks quite chocolatlie?
  20. After a recent 14 night TA on Reflection I have decided my Favorite Specialty Dining restaurant is the Lawn Club Grill ! I dined there 3 times and each time tried a different feature item and All were extremely Good. I wish that the S class ships with the Hot Glass in the same area of the ships would convert to the Lawn Club Grill. I'm looking forward to a cruise on Silhouette as it also has LCG. I probably will not cruise again on Reflection as my favorite place on E and S class X ships is the forward Sky Lounge and X ruined that by walling off 1/3 of it for a Lux Suite and arranged the seating away from the forward view.
  21. I was on Reflection in an Aft deck 12 cabin in October and the Vibration was constant anyplace in the back of the ship. MDR, OVC and in the Tuscan Grill the knives that stand on edge on all the tables were shaking. I especially noticed it in my cabin while sleeping but It didn't keep me awake! Not bad enough to bother me but as a person with a great deal of mechanical experience I probably notice it more than most people. My guess is a slightly out of balance Azapod prop .
  22. Reflection. cabin 2215. The Last cabin with an Outboard facing (Not Aft facing) veranda. My original cabin was a V2 veranda. midships. My biggest objection was that being way in the back meant a lot more walking time and effort to get around the ship. My favorite place to hang out is the Sky Lounge. Forward. Also the vibration aft is constant while the ship is moving. I did inquire if a move was possible even with a Downgrade but was told the Ship was "Fully Booked" I will definitely be less inclined to do another MoveUp if the category could include a less desirable location than my existing cabin.
  23. My latest successful MoveUp bid reminds me of that old saying "Be careful what you wish for. You may Get IT" I had a mid ship regular veranda stateroom and bid a few hundred dollars on a Concierge Veranda and ended up in the Last Aft outfacing stateroom under the OVC that for Obvious reasons Nobody wanted. I would have been better off with my original choice.
  24. Aqua Class gives you perks that a regular Veranda Stateroom does not include. We found that none of those Perks was worth the extra cost.
