    So did anyone purchase this last season who can share whether the coupons were worthwhile or not?

     

    I too wonder if I preorder it on the Cruise Planner and feel it's not worth it when we see it in person, can we return it to guest services and get a refund? 

    I bought it last year. Did not find it worthwhile. Maybe if you had planned on a lot of shopping in port it would be worth it.

     

    I don't think I used one coupon, in the end I left it with the concierge of our hotel after our stay to hand to a celebrity guest.

  2. I have a large group going to Alaska in a month or so and have a table for 8 booked. I would like a table for at least 10, maybe 12.

     

    Does anyone know, or can anyone ask, what the largest table they have in Tuscan is? 

     

    I would have thought is was 10, I think Murano has a 12 top in the wine room, but online pre-cruise only allows 8 to be booked. 

  3. I'm currently on the edge until Sunday, and I wanted to share the 360 photos I took today. 

     

    I'm missing the theater, portions of eden, the Martini bar, Cafe al Bacio, Oceanview, sunset bar and grand plaza. I'll get to these tomorrow and add them to the album.

     

    If you have any areas you want to see, let me know and I'll try to get to it tomorrow.  I'm not in a suite so the retreat is out though. 

     

    Here's the Google Photos link.

  4. If you don’t mind breaking the bank stay at the Gritti Palace. We stayed 2 nights and snagged a decent deal that included the breakfast buffet. It’s on the Grand Canal, near St Marks square. We ate outdoors right on the canal and the buffet included unlimited Champagne/mimosas. We sat there for over 2 hours watching the action on the Grand Canal, sipping coffee and mimosas. It is one of our best vacation memories.

     

    Second this recommendation. Unbelievable nice hotel, but it is VERY pricey. My fiance and I stayed here for two nights in June after our cruise. The private water taxi from the port will drop you off right at the hotels dock.

     

     

    Also, for a delicious 'locals' meal go to Trattoria Al Gazzentino.

  5. Still feel a little undecided on which of a few cruises to pick. Think I've settled on the Equinox but itinerary and time in the fall to go are still up in the air. Is this 2 perks (booking concierge class i think) sale on most the time - I do not want to miss it but also don't want to rush my decision.

     

    Also, deposits. If we change our mind or date - is there a refund up until a certain date or is the deposit a non refundable like with Royal Caribbean?

     

    Thx!

     

    The current offer ends April 4th. However, they may extend the offer for another month.

  6. I did this last December fro Port Everglades, my goal was to make it down to Key West, but only ended up making it to Isamorada, Marathon, and Layton before we headed back to the airport.

     

    Getting the Car took longer than expected and we stopped for lunch, sightseeing and dinner (Google Timeline shows about 4 hours total) and was at the airport at 6:30 for a 7:30 flight, although the last 15 minutes was pretty stressful. We ended up hitting traffic on the way back, but were also sightseeing Bloodline locations.

     

    Driving the 274 Miles round trip took 6 hours 2 minutes, which is substantially longer than you would think.

  7. ALL "C" categories were (upon booking) and are still available.

    Celebrity did not catch that when I booked (nor of course the TA

    no longer with the company). I had given them our CC # so it

    is frustrating that as one of the posters said that they paid

    for a C3 and received a C2.

    Conflicting information... very frustrating.

    Even so, we are very much looking forward to our cruise!!!

    FYI...Some TA's will not honor the One Cat Upgrade, because it is "Not Combinable" with their group rates.

  8. If this is a large online TA that runs specials with reduced upgrade fees to the GO BEST, it might be wise to have your SO book the Agua and you cancel the current booking. I did that last year when the had the special promo for the GO BEST on the Equinox. It was easier to pay the 50 cancellation fee.

  9. Random question: I am a coffee lover who will be getting up and going right for her latte. BF is an energy drink lover. Will I have to go to two places?

    This is my main reason for getting the Premium Package. They do have them at Cafe al Bacio, however if he likes the Sugar Free he will need to make friends with a few of the workers. That version gets harder to find by the end of the cruise. Once an employee new me by those, they would give me a couple when they found a stash.
