That website is still broken 9 months later. I just tried it 5 different times today. Giving up and switching to email. I knew RCL's web department stunk but now it seems they subcontract to other lousy web providers too!

We sent email twice over the last week and have not even received the automated response.

Maybe RCL / Celebrity has eliminated the stockholder credit ????

We got special order filets in Muranos by requesting it a day in advance.  We were celebrating our anniversary and it probably did not hurt that we bought some expensive wine several times in Muranos.

Special orders in Murano are very easy. We always used to get Steak Diane as a special order prepared table-side !!!

In the past suite guests could special order a filet mignon any night without an upcharge. Since they cannot get the $20 MDR filet for free, can they still get a special order filet for free? Would seem not !!!

Muster station A3 is forward at the theater entrance.

Right now a 2024 Trans Atlantic cruise we are looking at Aqua is 3X the price of Concierge due to AI !!!!

We are Zenith and refuse to pay twice for beverages and WiFi !!!

Our favorite restaurant on Silhouette and Reflection !!!

Have taken over 165 Celebrity cruises over the last 30 years.Double Zenith. Kids are triple Zenith with over 200 Celebrity cruises each.

Have about a dozen Celebrity future cruises booked. Will not book anymore for about a year to see what the future changes are. If they reduce the Zenith benefits I will cancel all future bookings !!!

Was onboard the Equinox last week. Other than the Zenith lunch on the last day, I was not impressed.

MDR food has dropped significantly (best entree the entire cruise was flank steak).

Early seating started at 5:30, had guests strolling in even at 7:00 !!!

Will stop cruising if conditions worsen. Seems like the Presidents goal is to drive the line out of business !!!

B2B Port Everglades to San Diego and back via the Panama Canal using an Edge class ship through the new locks. Did this MANY times in the past on M class ships using the old locks !!!

My inside source said the emails sent to Corporate ran about 4 to 1 against allowing the vaping. So yes they must have finally listened to us.

One of the hotel directors said it is not being rolled out because they could not find enough vapers. Had nothing to do with what the passengers wanted !!!!

Us too, Yeah !!!

My adult daughter has slept on the pullman bunk (pulls down from the ceiling) and found it VERY uncomfortable. Might be just fine for a 10 year old though.

I have seen an Aqua Class Guarantee with no perks.  Maybe you get the room under the treadmill...😀

The price was great.  

Which ship and sailing date please ????

How so? For us they were enhanced with all included...

Zenith get free beverages and WiFi. With AI (required in AQ and suites) Zenith's have to pay extra for something they get for free !!!

Yes and no. We booked Celebrity as our primary line because we liked it very much. Our goal was never to hit a certain level.  That said, we did hit Zenith last year.  Those perks are far from a joke. Premium Beverage,  stream wifi, laundry, a free cruise. Do the math. So yes, that makes us pause before booking elsewhere but we are definitely not trapped.  We are in fact considering other lines while also cruising Celebrity.  And all that said, I do reserve the right to be frustrated at certain changes.  What I loved is changing and not for the better.  That has nothing to do with my Captain's Club status.

Unfortunately the beverage and WiFi perks basically go away if you book Aqua or a suite. I refuse to loose those benefits.

Surely that isn’t everything?

That is the right side of the MDR menu. They also have the left side which has the restaurant specific appetizers (3) and entrees (3) that are the same every day. The big change on the right side is the "Classic" every day items have merged into the appetizer and entree sections with only maybe one other option. All of the fancy entree items like Beef Tournados, Rack of Lamb and Shrimp Scampi have been eliminated !!! Actually the $20 up-charge (plus gratuity) Filet Mignon sounds just like the old Beef Tournados that was free !!!

These are pictures of the menu from Cosmopolitan posted by a person currently on Apex. 

This is the first elegant chic night menu, My problem is since pre-pandemic they have eliminated the following choices from the "entree" section of the top picture - Beef Tournados (a filet mignon dish), Rack of Lamb and Shrimp Scampi. What is interesting is that on the one night Beyond travel agent cruise in NJ late last year they had ALL of what I listed on the menu and the piece of meat in the Beef Tounados was the size from a specialty restaurant. Yes there are three extra appetizers and three extra entrees per dining room on the right side of the menu. The problem is they don't change and are the same EVERY night. My son had the Beef En Croute EVER night on the Apex TA earlier this year.

I don't see the point of booking all those specialty restaurants. They simply aren't worth it on Celebrity. I would just stick with the main dining room.

MDR menus on Celebrity are getting REALLY bad. Here is the Apex chic night menu from last night:

No. Was “neither” too big a word for you?

Basically was concentrating on the $450 pp.pd and ocean view cabin comments.

They are in their trial phase of the new menus in the MDR. Maybe they don’t want to publish that too widely 😳

The Apex menus do show up in the app for the cruise after the current one. They have completely eliminated the appetizer and entree section that changes every day and replaced it with what used to be the Classics. If that is rolled out fleet wide I will no longer sail Celebrity (after 160+ Celebrity cruises) !!!

Honestly, neither. $450+ pp/pn for what is effectively an oceanview cabin even with specialty dining every night is too rich for me.

You think $700+ pp/pn is worth it for a Sky Suite ???

Definitely prefer Reflection because of Lawn Club Grill !!!

Clearly the person at Celebrity who thinks replacing a 6 night cruise with a 5 night alternative on Beyond without a price adjustment or OBC isn't thinking this through.  No way you should be expected to pay the same price for less cruise.

Actually in my case the new confirmations list a slightly higher price for my 4/22 & 4/29 Beyond cruises that were moved from Reflection. Plus one of our four bookings lost all of it's OBC !!! TA has a Zenith agent trying to correct. Will see what happens......

We sailed out of T29 on Jan 2 several years ago. Since we are Zenith we went thru the priority line and were onboard in 30-60 minutes. Our friends were elite and had to wait out in the sun for over 3 hours !!!
