  1. tm - you mean that taxes and fees charged by foreign countries had changed and/or you were not charged the new fees OR you have never sailed when they did before you boarded? I remember in 2021 when Bermuda raised its' fees and added a charge for C-19 approval, it was passed on to us and the C-19 fee we had to pay directly to the Government of Bermuda. Additionally, I do not believe that there are any cruise lines who will bill and collect fees attributed to foreign governments assessments/changes and not pay them accordingly... a very BIG no no no, which would net them in whole sea of challenges... as such, not a money grab by X, they are only collecting to pay the piper, as it were. bon voyage
  2. Our sailing on The Reflection in a few weeks is 35% more than what we booked All In plus Specialty Dining packages... Oh well... happy we did it when we did... bon voyage
  3. Let us know which sailing you will ultimately book... bon voyage
  4. Believe me, if you want three (3) beds in the IS Master Bedroom, they will do it.... bon voyage
  5. I can agree with this, yet the lack of accommodation is usually limited to the first night of dining service... Once known by staff, subsequent dining opportunities will be fine... bon appetit and bon voyage
  6. A good place to start is here at the top of the front page of this forum. I recommend reading reviews from the last year or so to get a feel as to what passengers thought and etc.... Do you really want a 'partial view' cabin or was that a mis-type, if you really want a partial view, then what does it matter what the view is of??? bon voyage
  7. Actually, the OP was inquiring about the Specialty Restaurants, I suspect that they already know that the MDR's can and will accommodate, yet that does not make your comments any less informative. bon appetit and bon voyage
  8. I Am beginning to think that those who are "requesting" a drink list and those who have done 'some' research do not drink very much or often or differently.... especially on Celebrity cruises. The reason I say this is, most of us know and understand that there are so many different drinks that can be made AND that X has a list at many bars of a few of these drinks that are available. Hopefully the bartenders either ask or swipe your seapass first to determine which package you have and uses the appropriate liquor, unless we ask for a specific liquor not on our package and hopefully the bartender will advise of the upcharge... Are there a few really 'premium' mixed drinks available? Sure thing and those who are asking for the list will not get to see that list, for the most part as they are mixed at only a few select bars and those in the know know where to go to get them... so do not worry about that level. I recommend, if there are some unknown 'special' drinks anyone wants, research by doing an internet search on various mixed or frozen drinks on the types or styles we like... Also, there was a recent thread about 'mixed' drinks and a list was uploaded of many different drinks by type of alcohol that one can consider. Through an internet search one can 'possibly' find a few recent drink menus showing mixed drinks available at that time and possibly now. The one place where it may not be possible to get something on the Classic Package is at the Martini Bar... Cheers and bon voyage
  9. Then you will have to call Security as they started stalking you until they got the info out of you!!! By that time one would be more than happy to move cabins to get away.... or have them moved! LOL bon voyage
  10. Despite what you may read on X's board, foodies of most genres can and will be accommodated, with the exception of Daniel Boulud Dining extravaganza, even though it was posted recently that they now accommodate vegans, I will wait until boarding to find out... LOL bon appetit and bon voyage
  11. Not reluctant here about those topics at all... LOL As for the list, I can see how it can be in all four (4) in one way or another... bon voyage
  12. Personally, I see NO value in engaging about bookings with anyone other than the point of reservation, X, Guest Relations and/or The Hotel Manager. I trust a resolution to everyone's satisfaction can be achieved, yet this one will not bring any closure and possibly open up additional can of worms and further hard feelings, unless one wants to ask (or demand) the new occupants to trade cabins with the original booker??? Again, IMO, something which needs to be addressed to those who can really assist in some sort of resolution/compensation regardless of what it will or may be. bon voyage
  13. Yes, they will... Please give them 24 hours notice and if asked, an idea of what you would like to have. All this from a vegan who sails exclusively X. There may be a faux pas, but they will correct it immediately... if in doubt at that time, ask away. bon appetit and bon voyage

  15. As far as I know, Blue Chip is a very different entity from X, is it not? If in fact this is true, calling X would not be the correct contact point, only BCC who books rooms. As such, it appears that you have gripes with two (2) entities, BCC on how they treated you when calling in and X for their reduction and changes in service... A double whammy I would say... bon voyage
  16. Your point of reservation will be able to assist with this... In fact, were I you, I would first be on the phone to the point of contact to get information on documents, fees and time frames. bon voyage
  17. The hard answer is: no one here can say if it does or if does not. We do not know how your TA booked the cabins to begin with. The easy answer is: AI is possibly included as Aqua class always has it included without anyway to purchase a sailing without in that class of cabins. The best answer includes: request a copy of your invoice to see what the inclusions are OR call back and ask to speak with a manager for the answer AND re-confirm in writing from the TA... bon voyage
  18. l19 just call and ask for an official invoice with the correct info on it... Then again when you are going in to make changes it will update to whatever the current pricing is... as such, better to call and when all is updated, you will receive a corrected invoice to verify all is correct.. At that point if it is not, then you will be able to get a corrected invoice... bon voyage
  19. b1 - you are quite generous with the compliments... There are 13 of us going on this sailing, all high school friends of My spouse. Quite a few of us have sailed together before and had a great time. Since I Am the "ring leader" of this group I want to make sure that everyone arrives and departs in good health... one has not been vaccinated and I never asked who, but need to be sure they are as safe as I can make it for them... As I told a few friends, the planning for this sailing was like trying to corral a group of feral cats!!! LOL... But it has been fun, for sure. Where and when is your next sailing? In health and bon voyage
