Agree! I am on Beyond this Aug in Europe and I've lost count of all the price drops that I've received. I truly believe I am getting to the Gk Isles for a steal and that's unheard of with todays economy. Patty

I have the sale price in my planner but the add to cart button is disabled???? Patty Edit... Persistences paid off! Got it to work! Thanks so much for the heads up!

I had an AMS & Paris trip planned for Sept 2024. My friend sent me the link with dates of The Olympics and even though they'd be technically over that trip quickly became a distant far off plan for...ONE DAY! The ABC's and Beyond is a great way to spend your bday! Patty

See it now 😵‍💫 Patty

I didn't realize you were also a part of this debacle. Hard to keep track of anymore, annoyed for everyone! UGH! Patty

Yes she is and Capt. Kate of The Beyond is with her. Coincidence... maybe? 😉 Patty

Ohhhh sorry! I see now. Patty

I am seriously bothered for you! So many cruisers got a ship upgrade ~Reflection to Beyond~ at no additional cost as should be...BUT... those booked on the TA's are expected to rebook at an escalated cost. This is so messed up! It's as if they knew airfare could possibly have certain cruisers locked in without a way out. So Sorry but I honestly feel that you've got this and will prevail! Patty

The op has an attached link to the source? Or are you asking for something else? Patty

Thanks to you both. My friends sailing with us don't want to lose their aft bal on Reflection. Patty

Back to pick your brain? What is your best guess for Reflection 2025 since we now see 2024 are the shorter CocoCay runs? I am booked for the ABC's on Reflection Feb 2025. Do you feel I'll be shifted to Beyond like others or they'll keep reflection on the 6/8 rotation? Thanks and I won't hold you accountable for any missed guesses 😁 Patty

https://profcruise.com/celebrity-testing-new-dinner-menus/ This is not for your sailing but is an idea of the new menu rollout. Just as an idea.... Hope this helps, Patty

The menu for your sailing is in the app. But for the most part yes the menus are the same for all sailings. Patty

Sounds logical! For me it doesn't matter but was curious. Patty

Do you think it's possible those RCCL ships may be swapped? Keeping with X ships and RCCL ship pairings on the same day? Patty

Hope you receive better than I have... I've only been bumped for chartered cruises, in my experience I was offered a few other sailing dates/options and the minimal OBC or take a refund. This is what I suspect will follow in your case too but with it being a TA not sure what other sailing dates they'd come up with to be somewhat considered equal. Sorry this happened to you, Patty

You tagged/quoted me and I didn't say I didn't like it! 🤷‍♀️ I just gave another point of view... that is what CC is... a million different opinions. Patty

I've gone back to double check myself. NCL and RCCL are much more than Celebrity with my Feb Southern Caribbean comparison. I was and am still shocked. For $2500 I'd jump on Beyond but I'm not a IV hater so that isn't an issue for me. Patty

You keep posting your version of an economics course, not sure why but okay. The bottom line is that these ship are sailing at full capacity, are being booked with the new younger management you describe and at the higher price points. I am one of them, I have many sailings booked with Celebrity on different class ships with different itineraries. I am also someone who wasn't completely blown away this past Feb on Beyond. In time what you predict might come to be but maybe not, we shall see. For now it appears People Want To Have Fun and are willing to pay for it while eating a burger and paying menu up charges which is what this thread was about. Life is only lived once and for years many lost time and loved ones that they can't get back so the new trajectory imo is that travelers/vacationers are willing to sacrifice in some areas just to Enjoy and Experience life. Just another point of view, Patty

That was my thought... mix it up but in reverse. I've sailed M class out of SJU. LOVE the Southern Caribbean route. At this price point seems like it's not happening. Maybe NCL will have a deal that I'll grab in the next few months. Patty

I went back to reprice and double check myself. Holy Moly! I give the slight edge to Cel for Itinerary but NCL's ship is clearly newer with more dining options. Cel Summit Feb 15th Aft Stateroom $3049. 56 non refund & no perk w/$250 OBC NCL Viva Feb 9th Aft stateroom $5798.20 w/wifi & $50 towards shore excursions. Removed Bev and Grats to make it comparable. and for giggles... RCCL Rhapsody Feb 16th Aft stateroom $3275 no perks I don't consider this itinerary or ship comparable at all. Just for price point knowledge 🤑 Still shocked! Patty

Deal! 😁

Gotcha, I was honestly just curious. Looking to mix it up. I get bored of the Cel entertainment/shows. My original post on this did say "almost apples to apples" and for that price my friend who loves NCL also said go Celebrity. I've sailed the M class ships multiple times and find the pool decks too small but Viva isn't looking any better! I'm leaning towards Beyond 10 day. Patty

I compared aft balcony with Feb dates. I even took screenshots and text them to my friend who likes NCL to see what I was missing, she was equally shocked. I'll do mock booking again later to double check myself.

Beyond is nice ship, I'd be happy with the swap! Patty
