This is our first time on Virgin but have sailed Celebrity and RCCL and generally purchase cartons of cigarettes in the Liquor store on board in the past.  Does Virgin sell cartons on board?  

I don't see Jameson on either of these lists.  Do you know what package it would fall under?  

thanks

We board on Saturday when you get off.  Do you happen to know if RCCL still does a murder mystery dinner?

We'll be boarding the allure on 3/5.  Can you see if they have the murder mystery dinner on the cruise?  Looking forward to your updates. 

Thanks!

Do passengers travelling in the same cabin have to check in together or can we check in at the Port separately if we arrive at different times?
Thanks.

thank you for your speedy responses.  That's good news about a Jack and Coke being included in the classic package.  According to the website, Jack Daniels is listed on the Premium but not the Classic package.  

We have the Classic drink package as one of our free perks on our upcoming Equinox cruise and are wondering if it is cheaper to upgrade to the Premium Drink package.  In the evening we like to have a Martini (or two) or maybe a Jack Daniels and coke.  Would it be cheaper to pay the upcharge difference on these drinks than pay for the daily upgrade to the Premium?  Just wondering what the upcharge would be.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  

Sounds like Coki Beach to me.  We've been there several times over the years and is our choice over Megan's bay now for a beach day.  

Enjoy 

thank you for your quick replies.  one more question.... we have a good amount of OBC to use on our cruise, can we use the OBC to pay for the airline baggage transfers to the airport?  thanks again.

Does anyone know if Southwest Airlines provides this service with Celebrity? 

We will be on the Equinox in March and were able to upgrade our regular balcony 

Cabin to a Concierge cabin for no extra charge (Yeah).  We like being near the mid ship elevators so our options were limited to 2104 or 2112 on the Resort Deck.  First, I'm a little concerned that it might be noisey being so close to the pool entrance doorway and/or being below the cafe overhead.  Does anyone have experience in either of these cabins with any pros and cons?

I do know that the balcony has a covering and I'm ok with that.  Looking forward to the concierge class perks (especially for no extra money).  

Thanks 

We will be on the Equinox in March and wanted to book one of the specialty restaurants for the first night but are booked online.  We are booked in a concierge class cabin and wonder if the concierge will contact us prior to sailing so we can ask if there is any openings in the specialty restaurant that maybe they hold openings on just for last minute requests.  One of the perks for concierge class states that they can help with setting up these reservations.  Didn't know if they hold some openings for situations like this. 

Thanks 

We're D+ on RCCL and have read that Celebrity loads the three evening drinks on our card like RCCL does but Celebrity swipes our card in the lounge so we would only get three drinks each whether or not we drink in the Elite lounge or elsewhere.  We will be on the Equinox in March and wonder if anyone has personal experience on that particular ship.  

Also on RCCL as D+ we get a BOGO at a specialty restaurant.  Does anyone know if this is also a Celebrity perk.  

Thanks 

Does anyone happen to have the email address for the Dining Coordinator for the Equinox?  

Thanks in advance for your help. 

We will be in Bermuda on the Serenade in October. Just curious which side the ship generally docks at the Dockyard or if it's different with each sailing. Not that it really matters but just wondering if we will be looking at the dock or the sea from our Balcony. :cool: Thanks!

On Grandeur now. Diamond + letter states drink vouchers can not be used in MDR, Speciality Restaurants, or W J. However, I didn’t ask either. :confused:

We will be boarding Grandeur on 11/18 and would love to know what they say if you do happen to ask. If not allowed, i will just hit the closest bar if i finish my drink before dinner is over. thanks in advance.

Perfect. That's what i was hoping. Thanks for the quick response.

We are looking at booking an inside cabin on the Navigator and I was wondering how you access the row of center cabins behind the mid ship elevators. The cabin 6441 is available but if we have to walk halfway down the main hallway to enter this row of cabins, I'll just book something on the main corridor. If we can access this row of cabins right behind the elevators, this looks to be a convenient location.

Thanks

Glad you had a good cruise on the Grandeur. We have sailed on all size ships but prefer the smaller ships because of the sea views. We have sailed Grandeur before but with the rule change to begin charging a corkage fee in the dining room, I was wondering if you were charged this fee. There seems to be a mix of people being charged the fee and some do not. Do you have personal experience?

Thanks

I will only have to pay tips for one person in even tho it's a double occupancy cabin right? I know the cabin steward is probably expecting tips x 2 for this cabin but I would have stayed in the original SI cabin I was in if I need to pay twice the tips.

thanks.

I was booked in a SI (single interior) cabin but then a SI Guarantee opened up for less than I paid so I jumped on it. They assigned a cabin and it's a double occupancy cabin (which is fine with me) but I was wondering whether I can get double cruise points now that I'm in a double occupancy cabin.

Has anyone ever been in this situation and received double points?

Thanks

We are booked on the Serenade out of Boston on 10-23 and have MTD set up on our reservations but I have not been able to set up our nightly time yet on line. How far in advance can you pre-book dining times on line?

We like a regular nightly dining time but their early regular dining at 5:30 it just is too early so MTD is our solution but like to book prior to sail date.

Thanks

Thanks for the review of the hotel. We will be staying there next week pre-cruise and are looking for the same thing... drink, burger and bed (also in that order). I understand that the gift shop sells bottles of wine to purchase and bring on board. Would you happen to remember seeing this and by any chance, remember any of the brands? Just curious.

thanks

Thank you for the drink info. We receive the D+ drink vouchers but the drink card is a perfect fit for us to save a bit of money. How was the entertainment on board? How was the guitar player in the pub. We always enjoy the atmosphere in there.

We will be boarding in a few weeks and Radiance class has always been our favorite size.

Thanks

I've been in one of these sideways cabins before and like them very much. Someone said there's a problem with the space at the end of the bed but that's not the case on the radiance class ships as these insides are longer than the Grandeur or smaller ships. If I remember correctly, the couches are larger than on some of the smaller ships as well. The small hallway is quieter than the main hallway but sometimes the room stewards use this area to bring laundry through the door at the end.

The fourth floor is very convenient and the sideways room is halfway between the front and mid elevators

I'm D+ and of all the size ships I've been on, the Radiance class is by far my favorite.
