Don't tell me you're a port fan from WA?!

I'm looking at booking a cruise mid-late Feb or early March (before March break) 2025 ABC islands. I've noticed that the February ones are mostly sold out and more expensive. Is there a reason why that is the case vs the first week of March? All on the Reflection. TIA.

Yes this is correct, I was hoping to save some money by going the day before but didn't really work out.

Thank you very much for all your replies and information on the subject. It was very helpful!

Sorry all, was away. I have booked Riverside Hotel, I like the look of that area. I was astonished at the price for hotels but I guess it is on a weekend though.

Hi there, Any recommendations for staying 1 night around Fort Lauderdale on a Saturday night? It all seems very expensive and wish I had of just booked the more expensive earlier Sunday flight.

Well that sucks, was going to bid an upgrade for my March cruise but I guess not.

I wonder if changing to a cabin upgrade bid reverts the All-in?

That's too bad. I love Suntory Whiskey and they don't have it on the list.

Looking at booking an 8 night ABC cruise in 2025, before the All-in loses the grats, but the All-in is $1000 pp. Seems ridiculous. Would I better off booking cruise only and wait for a beverage sale to pop up then pay the gratuities on top? Wifi isn't important to me.

Can you bring a bottle of whiskey instead of a bottle of wine?

So if you accept a bid of a cabin upgrade after Oct 4 you’ll have to pay the gratuities?

This happened to me for about 2 weeks. Hasn't happened for about a week now.

Hi, I booked a guaranteed IV on the Ascent for early next year. I've now received my cabin 6120, has anyone been on the other Edge class ships around this cabin? I can't see any in the "Cabin review" forums. Thanks. Note: It's above the theatre, up front.

The Aqua class sunset verandah on Deck 12 is underneath the buffet it seems, the CC is under that Aqua class sunset verandah room. Is it worth the noise upstairs for Aqua class sunset verandah and being able to dine in Blu and use the Spa or go with the CC underneath on deck 11? EDIT: Disregard, the deck 12 sunset verandahs are Sky suites. Sorry.

I'm wondering whether to book a cruise now for 2025 before the All-in discontinues the gratuities. It would be around $350 to pay for the gratuities. Is booking a future cruise on board the ship as much of a saving?

Oh thank you, sorry I didn't know they existed

Hi, just seeking information on the ports Bahamas, Cozumel and Grand Cayman if there is any must do excursions or things to do at port? Thanks

Yeah what is with that? So it's only benefiting people that buy "Cruise Only" packages? I still get a pre-paid tips that I can't delete added on my balance when I have all inclusive. It's getting ridiculous.

I can imagine how many people could be getting caught out with this dubious glitch

I have all included for my cruise booked next year. Under manage reservation there is an "Add-on" section with pre-paid tips. It was not added yesterday, I have logged in today and noticed my balance due is higher, looked under add-on and it has checked off as added pre-paid tips without me doing that?? Is this not the same "tips" as the all included??

Great info, thank you so much! Is the Eden Cafe included or is it extra?

Awesome! Will you post a review? And is it on the Reflection?

Looking at booking an ABC island cruise next year on Reflection for our 10 year anniversary (We actually were married on the Reflection in Cozumel) and were wondering on peoples thoughts on this cruise, as well as should we book this while being on a cruise or just call/online book it? Thanks.

Hi all, first cruise since the Summit March 2020 cruise that got rejected for disembarkment in Puerto Rico, stuck out in the water, had to sail to Ft Lauderdale, internet went down and couldn't find our way home until the last minute. Then (being from Canada) they were threatening to shut the border down before boarding our flight. Was extremely stressful. We have just booked 7 nights on the Celebrity Ascent in March and I just cannot wait. What is a must do on these new Edge class ships? I see the Daniel Boulard restaurant is on this ship, has anyone tried it on the Beyond? Also with the All-in option, tips are included but they have another option to add tips in the "manage reservation" section. I'm sure this is just a mistaken "double up"? Thanks all!
