lol, yes I do have a new ta and so far she’s marvellous!
-
I booked as part of a 10 cabin group. We all booked guaranteed inside. Every other cabin got upgraded to a balcony before the cruise, not us. I asked the ta who booked it & she assured me once onboard, I’d get the balcony. Never happened. I did ask when we embarked but they looked at me like I’d offered to sail her!
No idea why 9 out of 10 got the upgrade. -
My sister & I are looking to book for January or February. She wants an inside but I’m trying to convince her to move up to ov.
I see cabins on deck 9 that face forward.
Has anyone been in one? Thoughts? Feedback? How much movement did you feel?
We’d be sailing to either St Thomas etc or Mexico.
thanks -
I booked through X last September (Fort Lauderdale Hilton Marina) & had a very good rate. This year, the price quoted is almost double. My ta says it’s because X now uses a 3rd party for its bookings. I think I’ll wait a few months for my credit card points to add up & book that way. Going directly through the hotel was the exact same amount as quoted by X so no advantage for me. Even without using points, my credit card got me a better deal.

Ours is November as well.
I’m dreaming of a 50% off sale but if it doesn’t happen, I’m happy with the price I received. -

Was the fact that you had a drinks package already showing in your cruise planner? My package is not. And whom did you call? The general Celebrity number or did you call Captain's Club?
I did add the basic package to my initial booking.
I did not call anyone; I logged into the Celebrity site & purchased the upgrade. Used my OBC to cover most of it.
I’ve heard there are sometimes (not very often) 50% off sales so I log in every few days hoping to catch one.- 2

Thank you! I will give this a try. But I reached out to my TA as well and she said it didn’t show bc I have a group rate and I’d have to upgrade once on board. I hope this isn’t the case bc then I can’t take advantage of the sale.
I have a group rate with my ta and I was able to upgrade at 35% off by logging in with my celebrity login. I did not call my ta or celebrity.

I had difficulties too, and had to change my password.
But, the tricky part was they asked my travel agents last name & I use 3 different agents. Got lucky 2nd try.
pain in the neck but it’s done.
And I did have to change my password-could not use the same one as others have mentioned. I just interchanged 2 of the characters. -
We just upgraded for 35% off. Still hoping to find 50% at some point before we sail in November.

The process is very easy and as @PTC DAWG suggests OBC is reinstated quickly. Buy now, watch for a better price and if so, cancel and rebook - no penalty. You can do this up to 3 says prior to sailing.
But does the OBC come back quickly enough to use at the better price?

In my previous post, I asked about Ocean Cay where the title should have read Coco Cay.
Is it worth bringing our snorkels & masks to Coco Cay?
-
How is the snorkeling at CocoCay? Debating whether or not to bring our snorkels & masks. If worthwhile, where’s the best spot to go?

There is currently a 35% off sale for my cruise to update the 3 of us to the premium package. It’s the best price I’ve seen so far, but I love a deal and have read about a 50% off sale. I’m debating whether to jump on now.
For those that have cancelled & rebought if the price went lower, how easy a process is it? And, how long does it take for the refund to appear? My obc will cover the cost for 2 of us. If I cancel, does my obc come back?

We chose Murano for our anniversary celebration, and had a different experience.
Wait staff couldn’t be bothered with us, food was sub par, ate better at MDR.No cheese course offered
no acknowledgement of our special occasion, (and yes, they knew-we told them at reservation & again when seated) which we saw celebrated at other tables.
We certainly felt like second class citizens
Guess most others had a better experience-food& service. -
3 of us are sailing in November & like snorkelling. We have 2 masks & snorkels. Dd is contemplating buying a full face mask, but I’ve read there are islands that don’t allow/recommend them.
We’ll be on the Reflection in November visiting Ocean Cay which is likely the only place we’d use it.
Thoughts? Opinions? -
Just now, Liao said:
If the OBC is already in your account on the CP, you sure can use to make purchases.
Thanks Liao!

I’m tall & find the length of cord on the hair dryer to be too short (it’s attached to the inside of an drawer) and I like to stand up to style my hair. Reason enough for me to bring my own hair dryer!

I wasn’t fast enough to grab the 25%off; today it’s only 5%. I’ll just keep checking regularly till I see a 50%. Can I use my obc to pay for it? The obc is from a cruise next coupon i used that gave me a $100 obc.
-
Thanks. I thought I’d seen a deal on our last cruise, which we didn’t take advantage of, and regretted.
I will purchase now & pray for a 50% off. I do check regularly so will hopefully catch a great sale.
My travelling companions (daughter & daughter-in-law) love their fancy drinks.- 1

The current sale is 25% off to upgrade from classic to premium drink package. Will the deal get any better? We’re looking at martinis!

I manage to come home most vacations with a chest cold/cough. It happens in Cuba, high end resorts in Cancun & on cruise ships. Ironically, my last 2 post-Covid cruises I was fine although DH did manage to come home with Covid - Celebrity 8 day on a balcony; symptoms started on the plane home & he did don an N95 mask for the flight.
Fortunately, it’s usually the last day or the day after we get home.
This happened long before Covid.
I get a dry cough as a side effect of one of my meds; I’d love to wear a badge that says “it’s not Covid!”.- 1

Flying from Ottawa, Canada to Fort Lauderdale early November.
-
I’ve priced Air Canada so I know what would be a good deal from X.
I do have excellent travel insurance.
We’ll see what X offers. -
We are flying to Fort Lauderdale early November. And we plan on flying in a day ahead.
Breakaway bound- first NCL cruise!

My sister and I loved “Howl at the Moon”. We enjoyed the piano players several nights. I have yet to find a funny comedian on any cruise. 😞
