Cruise a holic

Shouldn't be an issue- however really inexpensive on port days- why not rent two?

I would have asked for a full refund!

The attendants also brought us lunch A limited menu but fine! In the future, contact the service desk downstairs. Crazy

Why didn't you call somebody? The attendants are in the Lawn club grill. On S class ships use the phone in your alcove . I would have at least gone to the guest services desk. We got our fruit and cheese plates, drinks brought to us (included in the drink package) and a bottle of bubbly. water and we do not drink beer. We loved it.

We got off the Apex in January and will board again in March. Love the retreat- spent lots of time on the Retreat sun deck and the lounge. The restaurant was good- but we much prefer the specialty restaurants for dinner. However the ship appeared full- in the suite area. We do like it on the other classes of ships, but nothing like the edge class.

Do as soon as you board. Go to the MDR immediately.

We used to enjoy the picture packages. Celebrity got cheap. Will not do anymore

Great bargain on a shore day- More then six people can fit and typically most people rotate and the kids typically spend time at the pool.

We sailed on the Equinox about a year ago and loved it. I also did the glass blowing and it was fun. However still so much covid on board, on our last cruise- many people from our group in January reported they got covid. We have another cruise in two weeks, I will wear my mask in crowded venues, especially the elevator.

Agree Aft CL aren't ideal. Would rather have the slightly obstructed view facing the ocean- but if you could move one or two doors away, from 1702 would be better.

I don't like the cleaning cage obstructing my view. Wouldn't be happy on that balcony.

We love the CLS. I would definately book 1702. Have been in 1704. The back of the sports area not as private. We prefer the sea view. Nice to have easy access to lounge and costal kitchen. Also great to walk down one level and be by the pool and buffet- if you want it. No comparison to Grand suite which is smaller an only one bathroom. Not nearly as nice. Grab the CLS. You are in for a treat.

In my opinion abolutely. Really enhances your cruise experience. Suite lounge and deck are wonderful. Luminae is great. Even the entry level suites are fabulous. No infinite veranda- bathroom terrific. All is great- if you can afford go for it. Enjoy

Good luck! lol

Towards the front of the edge class ships are what I call cove balconies. They are true balconies and have a huge outside circular cut out- not a window. Privacy on both sides. It is an option.

Funny how many seem to complain about the food. Most people I speak to gain weight when they cruise! Perhaps the food is too abundant and good! lol. I am still carrying a couple of extra pounds from our Jan cruise and will be cruising again in March!

With th exception of Michaels club/aka the retreat and Luminae- really no other "suite area" The e-class ships do have a really nice deck with water options. That makes a great difference for a suite experience. We also being in a suite spent most of our time in non-suite areas on M and S class ships. E class another level.

I believe that the IV was a big mistake- I don't get it. Room actually seems very narrow. The lack of a balcony and the fact that the ac in the cabin will shut off is a deal breaker. Cheaper and better to book an oceanview. If you don't want a suite, book an aft balcony with a real balcony.

Both are great choices. We have sailed many times on all of the S class ships. Reflection and Silhouette our favorites. Depends on your budget . The Apex is also a great ship! Sailed on her in Dec/Jan and will again in March. A different experience. Better suite perks on the E class ships. But we really enjoy the S class ships. You cannot go wrong- look at the itinerary and cost. Enjoy your cruise.

If you pay 3-4 times more pp, you absolutely expect the highest level of service and additional perks. Why not? If you want the "extra" level of service, try an entry level suite. A big difference. Just like IMO dining in a specialty restaurant is much better then dining in the regular dining rooms. Also Elite plus members are given extra perks.

Years ago, my sister and her husband rented scooters. She got a horrible burn on her ankle from the exhaust. A great way to ruin your vacation. Walk, take a cab, or bus or ferry on the Island.

We enjoy and will continue to enjoy celebrity. Yes, people still coughing, and covid and other respiratory infections on board, but wear a mask in elevators and crowded venues. This isn't a celebrity issue, it is a cruise issue. We sailed in Dec and January and enjoyed all of the food in the specialty restaurants- found service on the Apex wonderful. Will be cruising again in March on Celebrity. We also sailed on Royal past august, and they also were great. This is a new world, and things are changing period.

We are two young seniors, but I am cautiously optimistic about the kids on the Icon of the Seas- even booked a suite in the neighborhood geared to families. It was a decent price and allowed us to get all suite benefits. We might be sorry as we aren't bringing any grandchildren with us.

The Apex might work the best for both of you- plently of sun- and limited shade. My DH has had multiple skin cancers- We avoid the sun. Just be sure you see your dermatologist for a full body check up annually more if necessary. Don't like preaching- but some skin cancer is deadly.

Yes. We get bottled water, wine and mixed drinks. All available and included. Also specialty coffee.
