  1. i have 5 cruises booked with Celebrity .... and i still have a tendency to stalk the site .. i have just done a reprice of my December 2025 on the Ascent and it has dropped by €1100.00 since i have booked it in May .. I will lose my deposit of 85 and €200 onboard credit but am still saving 1k ... so am very happy with that it pays to keep an eye on the prices ...
  2. also be careful on the setup of your phone as a lot of the smart phones will automatically sync their clock to the local time ...
  3. thank you for your amazing report .. it was nearly as good as been there as a fello Dub i loved your writing style - I have done Japan before by land but am considering it for my 60th - you has pushed it up my list thanks
  4. i have cruised with Celebrity 10+ times and always solo. depending on availability and price i have done both solo cabins and standard ones - in most cases its roughly twice the price with the exception of taxes .. this is what i expect .. i don't like it but i realize its the way the industry works when i book into the hotel before / after my cruise i am also paying twice the price for my room This is not just something that Celebrity does .. its what the whole industry does ... the only people that are surprised are people that do not do solo travel as a norm ... us single people are used to it ... but it does not stop us travelling
  5. afternoon - i have booked the April TA on Celebrity Apex from FL to Rome - i have done 7 cruises with Celebrity but this is my first TA I have done a lot of research and lost many hours on Your Tube getting peoples reviews and thougth but i was wondering if anyone know of any Live reviews on CC - i have had a look but cannot see any While i am crazy excited to do this cruise its a bot of an unknown so would like to see a live report by someone ... so any direction on where to find one is appreciated
  6. good afternoon ... you all seem to be seasoned TA cruisers so can i hijack the forum to ask a question ... i am looking to book a Celebrity TA in April next year - Fort Lauderdale to Rome i will be getting the wifi package and would need to do a small amount of work while away - this will be just reading emails and bank payments - i was wondering what the wifi is like on these type of trips thanks in advance
  7. I am also waiting for 2026 as i want to do a reposition cruise in the April / May 2026
  8. I am on this cruise and am happy they are taking this step ….mind you there will be people complaining regardless
  9. i am also waiting for May / June 2026 - am stalking the site 🙂
  10. i have now been lucky enough to sail on the Apex / Edge and the Beyond and am on the Ascent in a few weeks I have had the combination of single infinity balcony room / porthole room and will have an internal room on the Ascent - i also travel solo Unless i win the lottery i will never be in a position to have a suite room but i can assure you that the Edge class ships are amazing for all passengers ... while we do not have the extra restaurants or access to the retreat but the rest of the ship is so beautiful, the staff so helpful and the Martins very very tasty 🙂
  11. i am unable to get in either .. on phone or computer .. saying my password is incorrect ... but as its saved i know this is not the case
  12. I also considered doing this trip for the Christmas of December 2025 but i was worried that there would be a delay to the build that would put out the trips .. and by that stage it would be to late for my Christmas cruise .. so did not take the chance - so booked the Ascent instead .. .but will look at doing one of the sailing in early 2023
  13. Thanks Nuts …. That is a good idea
  14. Evening, I am on Asent in May , I have not booked Wi-Fi as I will be able to use my phone when in Europe as I am from Ireland, but as louche would have it I need Wi-Fi for the day we are at sea …. Really just need it for an hour as I need to process salary for work …is it possible to purchase it for one day or even a few hours, I appreciate it will be more expensive per day rate than prior to cruise thanks
  15. As Hrhdhd said if there is a Q move to one of the others .. they are all beside each other the only time there may be a bit of a Q is when the first show in the theater finishes i travel on my own and have never had to wait ...
  16. I have done 3 Christmas cruises…did the beyond just gone and have 2014 and 2015 already booked 😄 the ships are decorated amazingly with a great atmosphere would highly recommend
  17. as a solo traveller as well as cruiser i am aware of the single supplement .. and i have accepted it as been part of my travels ... it is everywhere not just in cruises i have done 6 Celebrity cruises and have 4 more planned in the next two years i was on the Beyond at Christmas and the only issue i had was that it came to an end 🙂 as a poster has already mentioned people with issues seem to post .. people that had an amazing time do not post
  18. i was looking to book with Bonaire Cruisers but they are fully booked for the day i am in port 29/12 so looking for an other company if any one has any recommendations thanks
  19. I am on the Beyond at Christmas and the first stop is in George Town Grand Cayman - i am considering going to 7 Mile Beach for a while - I am travelling on my own so am wondering what the setup is on the beach - i have done a google search and there does not seem to be any lockers - and while i will not be bringing any valuables i am just wondering how safe my things would be when i go for a swim does anyone have any experience on this thanks in advance Clare
  20. I was lucky to get the solo room on the Beyone this Christmas but other than that its normally a combination of inside room or with a port hole ... the price of verandas is always to expensive but as you said @Z'Loth we can book our holiday on a whim and do not have to check / please anyone else
  21. Morning, I have just discovered cruising and am making up for lost time 🙂 ( 3 done 3 more booked ) As i travel on my own i accept grudging that i have to pay crazy single supplement - with the new E class ships they have single staterooms but they go fast - but if you are lucky to get them you are not paying the single supplement .. or so i thought I was looking at the new Xcel ship for Christmas 2025 - if i book an inside cabin i am paying €2912 or i can get a prime veranda for €3827 but they have the availability of the single stateroom with a veranda for €5348 .... - these are cruise only prices My TA rang Celebrity assuming it was a website glich but no .. that is the price they are charging can anyone explain this to me ?????
  22. Hey, i had the upgrade for premium drinks package in my basket on the Celebrity portal .. the upgrade was showing €22 per day .. just checked now and its been reduced to €16 per day .. a saving €60 for my Christmas Cruise I am based in Ireland ... you might want to check if you are considering it
  23. Afternoon Cat - I am just back from a weeks on The Edge and we stopped in Portofino - is this where you mean ? If so it is a tender to the port - they only had one berth in the harbor but i did not think it caused much of a delay - the harbor is right in the middle of town so there is no additional walking - It is a lovely stop but will warn you there are lots of steps 🙂 but the views are worth it
  24. Morning - i am traveling on Celebrity Edge tomorrow ( sooo excited ) i booked my flight and transfer with Celebrity so I will be picked up at the airport and transferred to the ship does anyone know if this is a shuttle type of setup or do they wait for a few flights to come in before we set off to the ship .. obviously i want to be on board as soon as possible thanks in advance
