  1. And a recent national political poll I saw interviewed in the range of 2,500-3,000 people out of around 165 million voters in the US.
  2. It didn't sound like it was limited to kids. On the surface it looked like additional passengers in the cabin sail free.
  3. I'd love to hear about it. Hopefully it's an elevated play on a double cheeseburger like the pork and beans.
  4. Ok didn't know that. I guess Ascent isn't as "new" as Edge was when it first came out. We hit Zenith when that came out and they said it was off limits for 1 year.
  5. Generally new ships are not available for Free Cruise offers for at least a year. Check the conditions of your offer.
  6. In the buffet we have been told not to ask the servers but instead find one of the multiple Matre'd in the buffet areas. They will either know or will consult the chef to find the answer. They all have phones so it really only takes a minute for them to get the answer.
  7. I'm not sure insurance will help here at all. The cruise/flights are still operating so any cancellation would be at the passengers request and not a covered reason
  8. Ultra Deluxe is aft facing on M class. Ultra Deluxe Concierge there are only 4 are on the side of the ship on deck 6 with a deeper balcony.
  9. The retreat manager has overall responsibility for the suites. I'd have him/her come tour your suite.
  10. Yes. And if you don't pre-pay they will be automatically added to your seapass account daily.
  11. Sorry should have specified that with the app you can directly set the arrival time and exit and fill in the rest later. On the website you have to complete all info prior to setting the arrival time. I use the app to do most of the checkin as it can scan your passport. I skip the photo as I have a stock photo I use for all sailings which can be uploaded, but only on the website. So I fill in everything that's easy to do on the app, then go to the web to do the rest.
  12. Are any of then "running" full bubbles. I have been on several times since the restart where they were all warm and circulating but not "running" if you pressed the button. First time was Nov 2021. Was told they were broken. All of them REALLY? I don't think I've seen them running since. In the state they were in they were just a public bath tub. I know that's all they are at any time but somehow not running I wasn't interested.
  13. Has anyone been able to get the B2B discount on non-contiguous sailings? I'm looking at 2 sailings on different Celebrity ships with 1 day between disembarkation of the first and embarkation of the second in the same port. I didn't think it was possible but seem to remember someone stating there was a 1 or 2 day window where it was honored.
  14. No. Anything that awful would want to be discussed with GR director or HD. If it was serious enough I'm sure there would be some attempt at compensation.
  15. Only the FCCs given for covid cancellation were unlimited. FCCs for other reasons are 1 year. I believe they must be applied to a sailing within the year ( not sail by). If you then cancel the sailing after the expiry of the FCC you get nothing back even if you aren't in the penalty phase.
  16. Only way to find out is to call. They haven't offered AQ or Suites on Exciting Deals since the restart so that shouldn't be an issue. Please come back and report your experience.
  17. Several have reported not being successful if the GTY rate is an Exciting Deal. I suspect that since you are inside final payment that's the case. Exciting Deals are new bookings only. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/Exciting_Deals/CEL_Exciting_Deals.pdf
  18. We were in SS Jan 22. These have had some updates including new balcony furniture. There was a 24"+ table in the room.
  19. My last metered trip was about $43 prior to tip. Next time it's Uber.
  20. Had a dry dock for mechanical and had full hull paint (retained white). There were some public areas which were renovated which I heard was done in Miami just prior to the restart. Renovated areas. Rendezvous Lounge, added the high top table perpendicular to the bar and replaced seating. Couches in the back areas. Retreat lounge retained the dark paneling but carpet changed to grey/green with the old Rendezvous barrel type chairs (very comfortable) reupholstered in a white/cream. Really lightened up the lounge. Buffet also had changes similar to the Summit/Millie but no hand washing sink. We were on the Spring TA and stayed on for 2 additional sailings 38 days. We found the ship to be in very good shape. Of course the rooms are dated and show some wear.
  21. Check the Cruise only rate pretty sure it will be a GTY rate. They don't offer AI for GTY rates. If you want to select your cabin with cruise only the rate will be much higher.
  22. I would contact whomever you booked with and try to cancel immediately. In the US you would probably get your deposit back within the first 24 hrs.
  23. On 2 2025 sailings I have been watching the cruise only price went down slightly and the refundable deposit add on dropped by over $100 on each sailing.
  24. Dry dock hole in the schedule is 3 weeks. The Summit and Millie were at least 6 week to do the full Revolution.
