No not specifically but from her response I got the impression that they are willing to refund. We told her that my wife is asthmatic which may have been the reason. The test is not really a true reflection so maybe they will allow those 2 current ships to carry on after the test. I really do not know what they are thinking of allowing this. We got the impression that they are just paying lip service and it will be fleet wide soon, but as people book so far in advance I really hope our B2B in March will not be affected. In any event we are looking elsewhere and will not be booking any more cruises with Celebrity. We have a cruise on Azamara in October and have been looking at Oceana, Seabourn and Silversea. I am also going to research Viking and Virgin Cruises. To sum up we really got the impression that they just do not care and the $$$ is all that matters to them

Have just spoken to a lady from the executive office who acknowledged our concerns and told us she had noted that our non refundable deposit would be refunded. Seems that this test is going fleet wide sooner rather than later. Will be without us good bye Celebrity.

Hi I think you misunderstand, if you choose to vape that is your choice but my choice is I do not wish to inhale the vapours. At the moment there are places outside where you can vape all day and night. I have no issues at all with this. It took decades for the powers that be to listen to the medical profession and realise that smoking does damage your health. At this time no one has any idea of the long term damage to health that vaping does. I just want to be able to choose to stay away from the smoke. If it is allowed in the casino that will impact on my enjoyment so I will choose something else.

Ok that is a great sentiment but are you happy that they will change their policy and allow vaping in the casino and perhaps other inside venues

Please do not lecture about things that have not been proven. My wife died of cancer due to working in an environment where smoking was allowed, just like Roy Castle. She was a singer and worked in venues where at that time smoking was the norm, because of ignorance of the damage that tobacco smoke caused. I would encourage you to stop vaping use will power if you want to stop you can.

Have sent an email, we will not sail on any ship that allows smoking or vaping indoors. We are going back to Azamara in October and may well look at Oceania for our March cruise

If Celebrity allow vaping in the casino we will be looking elsewhere we now only have a B2B cruise booked for March 24 and a Hawaii to Vancouver booked in May 25. We will not be booking again if this happens. Seems the new CEO wants to turn Celebrity into Royal.

Hi my pics were from the Reflection, I think some of the S class have additional cabins. From my research the corner aft Sky suites all have the same interiors but the balcony size is different as you go higher. The pole is not really an issue, you just get used to it being there. The entrance hall is great as it makes the cabin very private.

The balcony was fantastic, the views were wraparound, we loved this cabin and the walk to everywhere meant we got plenty of exercise.

We stayed in 9376, the layout will be the same but the balcony is smaller. Do not know about splitting the bed though.

We always use a TA the one we have is great never had any problems and always gets us a reduction when one comes available 👍

I have a friend going on a cruise in 10 days I will ask and report back

What happens if you book a future cruise on board 😎

We were on the Reflection in March and stopped at GC, we went ashore to have lunch due to the new rules, Michaels bar was closed. However we boarded the Edge and when we visited again discovered that the retreat sun deck bar was open.

Think I would go for the Key West cruise. Then just stay on the ship and enjoy the views and service.

The HOHO Buses are a great way to see the city. @niksmom630 your review is great the pictures bring the ship to life, felt we were on board with you. I notice that you have status with RCI you can have your CC status matched. This means you would be most likely Elite or Elite + and have all those benefits. safe trip home

As an aside we have an Azamara cruise booked in October and the Memorial Day sale meant the same cabin was £2500 cheaper. I was prepared to lose my £500 deposit and rebook which meant I was still saving £2000. However my TA sent me the confirmation and my original deposit has also been deducted from the balance due, so very very happy.

From experience the upgrade can be done and in the past I have been able to upgrade to an Aqua 1 for the price of a 2. One of the reasons I like to book on board apart from the savings and OBC is that you can move or change the booking as many times as you like. Personally move to Aqua we would always do it.

Hello here is some positive news: I booked a cruise in 2020 and paid the £500 deposit, then Covid happened. We moved that cruise twice finally settling on an Istanbul to Athens sailing on Oct 14 this year. Then we were notified that Azamara had agreed to charter the ship for the next sailing and it would now be round trip from /to Istanbul. Because it was so far out there were no incentives or OBC but then followed a very good promotion so we upgraded to a continental suite. Because I am a cruise nerd and follow prices I saw that there was an amazing sale this week and the price for the same cabin had been more or less halved per person. I spoke to my TA and asked her to cancel the booking and rebook at the new pricing I was fully aware that I would lose my deposit but would still save £2k. She explained that I would need to pay another £500 deposit which I was happy to do, but she would see what she could do. I received my new confirmation and lo and behold I have the new pricing my new deposit was taken and my original deposit has also been deducted from my final balance. The $500 OBC was forfeited but due to exchange rates I am even more better off. My TA worked wonders and Azamara have come up trumps I did not expect this. But, I have used my TA for years and they are fantastic so there will be a nice gift sent to them.

Many thanks for the swift response looks like we will not be able to stay on the ship. Never mind have a great trip with your mum

Hi looking forward to your review, you mentioned that you did a Hawaii / Alaska cruise. Were you allowed to do that or did the ship return to Vancouver. We are looking at doing the same trip in 2025 but the ship returns to Seattle and it seems we cannot do this because of the Jones act. Appreciate your help.

Please stop telling people how nice these cabins are, 😎😂😂

Shhhsh they are fantastic the end ones with the big window forward or aft tremendous but please do not tell anyone the balconies are so small and the overhang from the magic carpet make them so closed 😱😱😎😎🍔🤡 book one but please do not tell

We sailed in the Edge 8200 terrible would never book this cabin again

Another way may be to book a cabin at the promo price and then just keep looking for Tha cabin you want and then just call and switch cabin. I have done this a few times tp move to a hump cabin.
