If we didn't get that letter, we certainly would have been down in that line 😉 If you don't get that letter - go get in that line!

We did a B2B on MG last summer. Just read the letter you get the second to last day and follow the instructions. The staff helping the process will make it nice and easy for you. In the area we waited for the shop to empty, there was coffee service set up, with juices, etc, and danishes, etc. That was nice. Got our new S&S cards while we waited, then walked off with passports, walked through the facial scan thing, then walked back on. There was a coupon for a special photo opp, fruit basket (with a reorder form - filled it twice.), and a bottle of bubbly. Nice touches, but no guarantee for sure based on others reports. On a side note, when I turned in proof of stockholder info, they replied saying our 2 sailings were now linked, and they gave us the $250 since both sailings together were 14 days... Also a nice touch. We did not check in with the guest services. Was planning to until we got the letter, then skipped it and followed the instructions. Look forward to doing a B2B again at some point. On that excel class ship - even 14 days - still did not see or do close to everything that was available. Loved it!!

The CPAP definately fit on the little side table for us. I also duct taped the extension cord on the floor too. No problems. Once we had enough magnetic hooks to hang the cord across the ceiling - it was like being in a college apartment again - but with the CPAP cord instead of speaker cords...LOL!

Two of my favorite places! no need for water shoes at either.

Looking forward to the rest of your review and reliving some of our own MG experiences! thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing your vacation with us! loved reading and seeing all the fun!

Heads up - Dr. Seuss Breakfast opened up for booking on my July 2024 Celebration sailing this morning. Last day breakfast is the only one available - two seatings - 8:30 and 9:45. Snagged a ressie for us! Perhaps others are opened up for booking now! Good luck!

It is also much closer to the special excel deck on top. I bet the short walk warrants a higher price point for them.

Love reading about your escapades! thanks for sharing your vacation with us all! enjoying every minute and looking forward for our next cruise!

We use magnetic hooks every time now. Be sure they are rated to hold enough weight, otherwise they are just dead weight in your luggage…lol! hats, lanyards, towels, etc, nicely off the desk and shelves.

Enjoying your live report! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us all! we will be on Celebration next summer, love seeing what’s what! loved our sailings on Mardi Gras, nice to see the slight adjustments they made with this ship to make it unique.

no alcohol on cheers on day 1 for sure. But we used cheers for non alcoholic drinks day 1. debarkation day I had a spiked coffee too…probably was not technically allowed with Nys rules…

I used Cheers at Java Blue on Horizon out of NYC on debark morning. They even gave me bottled/canned drinks to take with me. So YMMV in every case I think.

As always, another great review! Thanks for sharing your vacation with us! totally agree about no cruise less than 7 days. This past summer we did B2B on Marci Gras, and still did not see or do (or eat, lol!) everything offered. Booked on Celebration for summer 2024, but just an 8 day southern. Looking forward to 3 new ports for sure! Always wanted to go to the A, B, C islands!

Everything disappeared for me too, right about the same time. I bet they were doing an update, it is all listed again, with a few exceptions…

Marie Gras was our first B2B too! Loved sailing on her last summer! thanks for sharing your vacation with us, love reliving some of our experiences! Celebration is next for us, can’t wait!

Funny thing - So I just looked again at reservations for speciality restaurants on Celebration in July 2024 - now everything is missing...LOL! So, I bet, just place holders, and they still have to actually schedule that sailing. It is probably to far into the future...

We had a couple upgrade offers pre-covid. Got an email with the offer each time. We took one - moved from a cove balcony to a spa balcony for like $112 for three of us. The others, we already had the cabin of our choice and declined.

there is no drop down, no dates, no option to even see the days or make a reservation. Just a page with the info about the Suess breakfast. Seems like just a place holder for when they have the days and times set to sell.

Same for our June 2024 sailing. I bet it is just a place holder at this point. The lunch Tappen Yaki is also sold out - 18 months in advance... Probably just a place holder. Hopefully!

our son wanted to order from the regular menu. They refunded the kids rate, and charged the adult rate.

We will miss the chia seed pudding too. Glad we enjoyed it several times last summer!

On board! Living another sailing vicariously through you guys... Thanks for sharing your vaca!

We did B2B on MG this past summer and received the basket of fruit, note to refill it (we refilled it two times), and a bottle of bubbly (Stewart did not let us refill that though...LOL!). Plus the photo coupon, which was available only a certain time that turn around day at a specific place. Wish we could have done the group B2B photo...much more fun...
