We booked the cruise when prices were a bit lower. Depending on who you talk to Royal is on par with Carnival. So budget to mid. The OV cabin on this ship is decidedly smaller than most. We booked a mid-ship OV only because the seas can be rough, especially the Atlantic at that time of year, and midship low is probably the best location if rough seas. The only really stable ship for a TA crossing is the QM2. There is significant risk if you tend to get seasick. You might want to buy a dining package if the price is reasonable. Royal has revamped the MDR menu (if I had known this at the time I would not have booked). I did buy two lunches at chops.

There is no mention of the classic non-alcohol drink package. It looks like only the PREMIUM non-alcohol drink package will be available going forward. According to the drink package FAQ: What Drink Packages are available on Celebrity Cruises? Celebrity Cruises has a variety of Drink Packages available. Classic Drink Package Premium Drink Package Zero Proof Drink Package (Premium Non-Alcoholic Drink Package)

It looks like they are getting rid of the Classic non-alcohol package. I already booked it for my cruises. I wonder what will happen?

Is Celebrity still offering the non-alcoholic packages. I just signed on and looked at my 2 upcoming cruises and they are no longer there. They are less than 45 days away.

Non-alcoholic only.

I think that is an insult to car dealers.😁

I recently booked airfare from Italy to the US and it was definitely cheaper to book round-trip (Italy-NY-Italy). If I can use the return ticket to Italy in the fall great, if not the return ticket just gets thrown out.

Unfortunately, COVID seems to be increasing everywhere (definitely increasing in the US). Hopefully, it will reduce in a month or two.

Unfortunately, I am allergic to Gin.

I am sailing Britannia on QE. I am guessing the best bar for a well-crafted cocktail would be the Commodore Club. I am asking because I don't want to waste time and money trying out each location. I care about a correctly made cocktail, with the proper ingredients (not just pour out of the box cocktail mix), not just having lots of alcohol. I am also not trying to start a war about prices. I do not expect a well-crafted cocktail to be cheap. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Looks like a very nice hotel but a bit too pricey for us.

What about Chai Lattes?

I was thinking more like $16.99 +18% grats for the filet from Chops.

Would like to hear what you decide.

I assume they will be willing to provide something at extra cost from one of the specialty restaurants.

There are places that sell 1 year medical travel insurance. If the cruise is free, then that is probably the best bet.

Have signed up for the classic non-alcohol package on upcoming cruise. On previous cruise had AI. For us, we just don't normally drink enough for the alcohol package. When we had AI we drank too much because it was included. We do however drink lattes, cappuccinos, bottled water, and soda.

Anyone go on this? Any info? I posted here and not the St. Thomas port of call since it may only on Celebrity cruises.

If you have travel insurance make a claim. Also contact Royal and see if they will cover any costs. If it broke once it was aboard the ship I think it is their problem. Not sure how you could prove that.

Are you asking about what Royal calls MyTime dining? MyTime dining is Royals term for flexible dining times in the main dining room.

We booked several weeks ago. The base price of the excursion went up.

They did on my cruises.

They did raise the prices before the sale.

We prefer the smaller ships. I will be sad to see the Summit go, I guess we will have to move to Oceania.

The boat docks at 7AM and departs at 3 PM. I estimate that once we get off the ship till when we have to be back at the dock, we have about 6 hours. I don't really want to do a ship tour and we will do a beach at the different island. Any suggestions on what to do?
