  1. Oh how I miss the Zenith and the Horizon. They should have kept one. Look at what the Galaxy and Mercury look like now.
  2. Lots of good direct to Europe out of Montreal. Check options.Take the train from Toronto, get off at Dorval.
  3. You may be eligible for a "one-category upgrade" and that means Prime Inside for the price of deck 2/3. Have to do it at the time of booking. You will pay the lower deck price for Prime. I did exactly this on my upcoming Eclipse and booked deck 9.
  4. This was my exact experience in March when I was there. I took the cruise excursion, it was on sale for a really good price. I rarely book excursions, but it was too good to pass up.
  5. Nope. Just "Reservation Details", then "Find Flights and Transfers", then "Cruise Planner". I'll keep checking, and watch for the email. For info: I use the same TA all the time, and have used Move Up on my two cruises earlier this year. One successful, one not.
  6. Hmm, I'll keep checking. I've been booked for one week.
  7. I've had no issues with my past two cruises putting in Move Up bids. Trying again, using https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/bid-on-cruise-room-upgrade When I enter my name and reservation number, it simply connects to a Celebrity page to look up my reservation. Nothing about Move Up. Any advice?
  8. I was on Eclipse in July. Drapes in cabin were a little worn, but better than Reflection was in March. Other cabin furnishings fine. Service was top notch. I just booked her for next March.
  9. Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a kid at the Elite Breakfast.
  10. Your cabin will likely have Fox, MSNBC, and BBC News.
  11. I tried to use the same terminology as the OP to not confuse them. For everyone else: Traditional vs Select.
  12. Anytime wasn't available on my cruise last week, I was assigned 8:30. Reported for duty at 8:30. Then, walked over to the anytime side, spoke nicely with the Asst Maitre D at the podium, and she happily put me down for anytime. Worked fine rest of the cruise. Always got the buzzer, showing up 7ish, and longest wait was about 15 min while I relaxed in Craft Social.
  13. The beach was packed since in addition to the two ships, it was a national holiday there. Did you see the crew making the documentary on the Bobbies?
  14. I just got home, was on your cruise as well. Great time, fantastic weather. I went to St George/Tobacco/Ft Catherine twice, with Horseshoe on the middle day. Took the three day transpo pass, ferry and buses were great.
  15. Just got the email, no Move Up for me! Pending changed to Expired on the page as well. That's ok, I did cabin selection on this one and am happy.
  16. I've had a few searches, and can't come up with a definite answer, so I thought I would solicit some opinions. I'm on the July 28th Eclipse sailing, and my Move Up went from "Update Offer" to Pending yesterday. On the top left, it says "Ineligible Offers". No charge on my card yet, and no change on cabin on my reservation. Am I getting this Move Up? Just wait longer? It doesn't say expired. Or, some other explanation? (I've removed my bid amount)
  17. Status match and no kids makes me want to try VV. Food reviews as well. I like X, and have continued liking them for 20 years. They need to keep evolving with their customers. I don't understand how they can't see that they have a family friendly option with RC... some of X should be adults only. One ship... one class... or the complete line.
  18. On both my recent Ascent and Reflection sailings, they had a decent selection of used/rebuilt Rolexes. Both shops had a gold 36mm DayDate that has been on my list for awhile. Both shops were overpriced by about 8k. They did send me a bottle of bubbly and invited me back to make a deal! I'm sure what I had on my wrist at the time I walked in probably helped.
  19. No sewing machines? lol, couldn't resist.
  20. I was also on this sailing. I agree, my stateroom was really showing the wear. Broken shower door, one broken drawer, rips in balcony curtain and hooks missing up top, and the vinyl was peeling off the sofa back. Didn't affect my enjoyment, however! Staterooms really need the E-upgrade. I was definitely looking with a critical eye, I was on Ascent in December. I will also say I didn't like the new layout of the sunset bar out back. Service and food was great.
  21. I got off of Reflection on Saturday. Band was decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see them like I do for most pool/lobby bands. Singer was not great. She was a decent sax player, however. The Time Machine duo was good, and the solo guitarist was great. Orchestra band was very good.
  22. When you look at current per glass wine prices, the bottle-20% Elite is a great deal. Not as good as walking with a big pour from Elite HH to the dining room, though 😉
  23. I felt the exact same on Ascent at xmas. My last X sailing was 2018. It was like I missed everything people have been complaining about for the past number of year, and it felt like coming home when I was on board.
