We were on the May 7 sailing and did eat at Ocean House. The only negative for that visit was the rocky ocean. We have an overnight at OC in December and wife does not want to spend both days on the island

Greatly appreciated. My wife is the lobster eater. Wish we were going, but have to wait until December.

By same items do you mean same as on Ocean Cay (e.g. lobster roll) or same as usual on YC pool deck?

Great. Thanks.

We will be at Ocean Cay for 2 days in YC. What food is available if we decide not to get off at the island?

Had a suite on deck 19 on the Seashore. No pool deck noise or motion issues for us.

Thanks for all your responses.

I was assuming since they were not related to a cancellation, but an on board issue..I guess I will call X and get 5 different answers.

I have FCCs which are not eligible for “no expiration date”. The FCCs state cruise must be taken by December 2, 2023. Does that mean that a December 2, 2023 cruise would be eligible or does the cruise have to be completed by the expiration date? Any help would be appreciated.

From X’s website: As of June 1, 2022, the portion of the FCC value that represents 100% of the cruise fare paid on your original reservation will no longer expire. Unfortunately my FCC does not represent 100% of the cruise fare paid

Thanks. What about a FCC issued on board (due to on board issue) with an expiration date?

Are Future Cruise Credits in excess of the NRD also refundable prior to final payment?

We were disappointed at the YC beach as the ocean bed was very rocky. Even with water shoes it was unpleasant. For future reference, can you make arrangements to go to a different beach location? Thanks.

The 60% offer appears to be based on brochure rates. In March, I paid $6300 for a S2 for a December 3 Apex cruise. Today, the price is over $9000! Celebrity, unfortunately, appears to be substantially increasing their cruise prices. in comparison we just returned from a MSC Seashore cruise in the Yacht Club for under $5000 and have booked another for next May for just over $5000. This was our first cruise on MSC and our expectations were greatly exceeded. While somewhat more casual than X, the YC offered more than the Retreat with very good service. Differences included were a real bottle of Champagne on boarding, a bottle of liquor of our choice, unlimited supply of soft drinks and water in the minibar, an expresso machine in the cabin, a walk in closet, breakfast and lunch buffets in the pool deck and a butler who wanted to escort us everywhere. Yacht Club suites are completely separated from non YC suites and rooms. We did, however, have to pay gratuities and a small cost to upgrade the free wifi to premium. Also, there was no OBC. One caveat is that while the YC is exceptional (a ship within the ship), we would not want to experience the crowds outside the Yacht Club. The Yacht Club has about 130 suites out of the total 2200 suites on the ship. We have cruised exclusively on X for the past 20 years, but economics are forcing us to look elsewhere.
