In current climate there's likely less chance of getting a 2E balcony (obstructed deck 6), but pre COVID, there was good chance of that.
I agree, they claim to assign best available and I would think many balcony cabins are available with sailing well below capacity
Thanks

Some of this depends on the ship and category - on Q class, an XB GTY has a pretty good chance of being assigned something on deck 6 with obstructions.
Thanks, we will be on the Anthem

We did not!
Was your experience pre or post Covid? I was thinking in the post Covid world of fewer passengers that there is less chance of being assigned an obstructed view.
Thanks

If one lets RCCL choose a balcony cabin, do you always (or usually) get an obstructed view?

Hmmm, guess I wasn't clear enough 😏
I see little differences in ships in the same class and we’ve cruised a lot. The only exception is entertainment. Guess everyone is different

Under CWC you shouldn't see the $100/pp fee.
Or sail 1 year from the original sailing date - whichever is later.
This is important but not known by everyone

If Celebrity cancels the cruise, you can get a refund to your credit card

Correct! We don't use technology to our advantage.
Yes, they can disable purchase option during this time.
With everything that is happening in the cruising world, this seems rather insignificant.

We are celebrating our 50th wedding on a river cruise next year. We’ve done one previously and loved the experience. Only about 100 to 200 guests a very different experience but we really enjoyed the quieter pace and more personalized service. We dock right in port. Tours included in price everyday. We sailed with Avalon through France and are doing Zurich to Paris with Viking next year. In 2023 we are doing Amsterdam to Budapest.
Amsterdam to Budapest is a great trip, enjoy!

It is funny that so many people are crazy about this „revoluzionized“ ships as it stands for more cabins and people and less public space... On Royal Caribbean ships this is even more significant.
Agree, 100%

I asked the same question about a month ago re. an early departure from a Caribbean cruise.
I was told that due to the pandemic, there is a temporary suspension on disembarking cruises early.

Thanks for the review. I think the food on Celebrity hasn’t been good for several years. We’ve been on 3 different cruise lines in the last 5 years and all have similar quality food - all very average

Since many cruises are sailing at greatly reduced capacity, I wonder if that increases the chance of getting a free cabin upgrade? If they are sailing at 50% capacity, it seems that the cruise lines wouldn't have anything to lose by providing free upgrades. Why would they keep people in an inside cabin, if there are plenty of vacant cabins in a higher categories
Why don’t you just purchase the cabin type that you want. So many people want free “stuff”

I think I know the answer but I’m just verifying. Can an FCC from Celebrity be used on RCCL?

We're with you on Constellation 11/7, so I also hope that one flies!
Here's a fairly comprehensive explanation of all of the Royal restart changes:
Edit: Nuts, they blocked my link. It's all over on the royal caribbean blog site. Very detailed.
For Radiance, it appears that all of these are canceled:
Radiance of the Seas departing Miami: October 15, 2021- April 10, 2022
We received an email last night advising that our Radiance cruise on 3/4/22 was cancelled. Now we are hoping that the Constellation on 1/14/22 will sail as scheduled.

My TA handles everything for me. In addition you get OBC from the TA. My cruise I’m leaving on Saturday has $725 in OBC from Celebrity and another $600 from the TA, so very worth it to not book directly.
Surprising more people don’t understand this!

Ok Bnurick,
I have been following and reading every detail shared so I would like to first thank you for posting your experience.
Now you deserve a commission, we just booked a Sky Suite for August 28th! Can’t wait to get back on the seas. We have 6 cruises booked for next year but after reading about your experience we couldn’t wait to January.
What time do you set sail out of Nassau today. Would like to watch on the web cam.
Thanks again, have an outstanding evening and safe travels home.
Cheers! 🍸
Nice post!

Thanks everyone for all the information. Is the $65 fee per person or per cabin

I would also caution that there have been times due to weather/seas that Dominican Republic stops have changed or skipped- the port was changed on a cruise we were previously on and I have heard of inablity to tender due to rough seas on others
Thanks for the response. Is Puerto Plata a tender or docking port?

We are on a 10 day cruise in January ‘22 on the Constellation. We are considering debarking 2 days early in Puerto Plata to spend a few weeks at a resort in the DR. Has anyone had any experience in doing this with Celebrity.
Thanks in advance for any info.
