Upgraded version = it will cost you more for less to enhance your cruise experience

So in  essence, the new program  has a neg affect on those who have the basic  internet as a perk  ( Elite minutes or in an "inclusive" package?)?  ...

Your Elite minutes are the premium, AI is basic.

It was with basic, but it wouldn’t even let me log in to reply to any roll calls I belong to.

Exactly the same for me.

Was this with the basic? On my April cruise I could see pictures and post on CC while using my premium minutes, but not with basic.

That would depend if you have a refundable or non-refundable deposit. A change in ship or sail date will incur a penalty with a NRD.

I would have a member of the Retreat Team do this so you don't get charged.  Maybe the labor of doing this and restoring it when you leave will have them reconsider.

If anything, it will get them to completely prohibit doing this instead, given the cost cutting that's happening.

We are on Summit now and hand sanitizer stations are all over the ship.

How does that help with beer can size?🤔

If you want 48 oz you will need to get 4 cans.

Yet the RCL shareholders have doubled their share price in the last year.  I should feel sorry for them why why why ???...

And yet the stock price has doubled or come close to it.

 

...

While the stock may have doubled in the last year, those hanging on for the long term are still nowhere near the pricing just prior to the crash. Those shareholders are still at a 33% loss.

In the dining room you can get coffee, tea, water, milk (maybe)?   In the morning there is water, tea, coffee, milk and an array of fruit juices - I usually ask for a V8.  🙂

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate packets,

 

several juices at breakfast, usually orange & apple, after which juice drink blends, iced tea, & lemonade take over in the dispensers in the buffet

 

milk, (soy milk, and usually oat or almond milk can be found at the buffet)

That's today. With all the changes an upcharges, who knows what's going to be included tomorrow.😂

one nice thing about BLU is that you can easily get entrees not buried in sauces..on the side is an option or none..  

 

sorry this is OFF TOPIC!

This is the case even in the MDR. I have done this many times.

From a recent "enhancement" to my cruise itinerary where I lost a day and 2 ports with no reduction or additional OBC.

Hello! I searched the Celebrity forum using my title terms but could not find a quick answer. We are about to book a Veranda cabin on the Equinox...deck 6 or 7. I've read somewhere that the smoking area outdoors is on Deck 5 forward and starboard side. However a YouTube video from a year ago of Veranda cabin 6241 (mid-ship port side) shows the guests were given a credit as they were unable to use their balcony due to them not being able to use their balconies as they were above the smoking area on the port side.

Is there anyone who was on the Equinox recently who can confirm where the Deck 5 smoking area is? Port or Starboard? Forward or midship? This will help me choose our cabin well. Thanks LOTS!

Get a cabin on the starboard side to avoid the smoke wafting up. If you go deck 8 and up, port side is also OK.

Let me guess. There was no reduction in the cruise fare?

The downside of early booking is you stand a greater chance of your cruise itinerary being changed, removed, or chartered, leaving you scrambling for alternatives. That said, I still book as early as I can.

Why are 2 devices more than 3 times the price of 1 device on an upgrade? Unless I'm reading this wrong.

P.s. I have this on 2 upcoming cruises

 

 

You are upgrading your single device to premium in one offer, and upgrading your single device as well as adding a second device on the same account in the other offer.

Hi everyone!

 

I am going on a cruise with my family, 4 cabins.

We all booked Aqua Class (planning to dine at Blu).

I want to place a bid on the move up program for the Edge Villa. Will I have access to Blu restaurant, or will I lose access to it? From what I read, Edge Villa doesn’t include the option to dine in Blu based on availability, but it does include Complimentary Specialty Dining. I wonder if Blu could be consider as Specialty Dining.

 

My objective is to upgrade to Edge Villa and continue to dine at Blu with the rest of my family, would it be possible?

 

Thanks for your help!

Blu is limited to Aqua.

Blu is not considered a specialty dining venue.

With the new Starlink wifi, Zoom/Facetime will work no problem.

Except in some stretches of a Panama cruise. There were some poor/ non-existant reception areas in April, but moreso on the west side.

All I have to say is that so many changes and complaints since the CEO left for another position in the company.   Bring back Lisa.

You can never be sure where or who had a hand in starting the implementation of these changes. It could be the new CEO taking the hit for things started by her predecessor.

I think some of the music charters are adults only? I could be mistaken…

But that is at the request of the charterer and not Celebrity as such.

This may be their way to thwart those who do placeholder bookings to keep the OBC.
