Great pick ! lol Those CL suites are nice and close to the suite lounge and coastal kitchen . We had every meal in Coastal kitchen . Nothing better than having a private restaurant and not having to deal with crowds . Not to mention your private bar next to it with free wine and beer from 11 - 11 . Mixed drinks are available 5 - 8 at no additional charge also. Wi Fi included too. Enjoy your cruise ! 🙂

Sounds like you earned it , have a great cruise !

Certainly appears that way from the deckplans . 1752 seems to be one of the largest . I had a similar location on Allure and it was plenty big.

get one on the side , half way down the hall like 1752

Its good of them to catch up , only one year late .

I think i will be calling one for my next cruise 😉

I wont be buying any cookies or ice cream .

I believe they post them on the first day of the month prior to your sale month . The headliner and the comedy club do not show up though , but everything else does. Not all ships though . Oasis class does

So, dont eat them . I could last a week without eating a cookie. Oh ya , i forgot ... i dont eat them anyway. 😂

Last year I wore shorts and a collared shirt every day in the suite lounge and costal kitchen . You couldnt tell i was wearing shorts when i was seated in coastal kitchen.🙂

RC can get away with just about anything and pax will still book . Raising prices and lowering services didnt sway future bookings . What a success story , bet there`s lots of back slapping and handshakes going on in the boardroom these days while they try to figure out how much their bonuses are going to be. Raises for everybody ! 🤣

Good advice to pay the balance a week prior to due date , just in case it doesnt go through . Its good to have a buffer so you can recover should a payment go sideways . Thats what i do .

Kinda like the automobile industry , they tell you no stock but if you pay full sticker price ( or more ) then they will put you on the list and you will wait your turn . 3 years since the start of covid and they still have a chip shortage ?

Agreed , Look at those lofty prices they are getting for the Icon . They hit this one right out of the park. Amazing what people will pay to sail on that one. I will wait a while to sail on it.

Oasis . I personally wouldnt sail out of PC ... too far from the airport .

Diamond , The cruise i was looking at in September 2024 was around 1400.00 less . Balcony cabin vs the cabin with the window that drops to mimic a real balcony on celebrity . I know ill give up 4 drinks and free specialty coffee but still ... I insert my C & A # and whatever else for discounts when i mock book. Ill try a TA for my next cruise to see if group rates are available

What concerns me is the rise of cruise fares this year . I know the cruise line will test the market to see what the consumer is willing to pay to maximize profit , and it seems that their strategy is working in their favor . I am cross checking prices and RC is considerably higher than their competition. I am considering a Celebrity cruise on Edge class ( i know its the same parent company ) and its much less . Sometimes you dont check other suppliers as you get out of your comfort zone , and never know what you might be missing. RC may not get my money , but there are lots of people lining up to give them theirs. I will miss the promenade on Oasis class ( my preferred choice ) but i think ill get over it. 🙂

Thats a Carnival ship , just googled it .

I hear you , i agree there are more interesting med cruises , but wifey can barely tolerate 3 hour direct flights to Florida , and we cruise for the ship now. Enjoy your cruises !

Finis Henderson ( singer ) is on the current sailing . Never saw him before . I might in a few weeks though

We were on Allure in a suite last year . Best cruise ever. Coastal Kitchen was very good also .

Geez , i dont have any favorite class other than Oasis class . Oasis only for us . Lots of love here from others for Radiance class which was my least favorite as it doesnt have a promenade . One and done for us on the Serenade , but nice glass elevators though.

I managed to find it only once several years ago , and it was not memorable unfortunately .😔

I hardly pay any extra for anything on a cruise as it is . The included stuff is more than enough for me. The last thing i would pay for is a towel animal .

For me they used my old work email that i updated in my profile 3 years prior . All other correspondence from RC was on the updated email address . Somehow the concierge had this old email address , so i didnt get the email from them. I phoned RC and straightened it out and had them make my reservations by phone. If you dont get an email in the week prior to your sail date , give them a call .
