Dawg- Do you mean I can get a shot of Zacapa on ice at WCB covered on premium package? I had no idea. 

Jeremiah, can you give us some example of the "Ship Experiences"? I always appreciate your input. 

Thanks John. It is VERY difficult for me to read posted menus. Why the titles are in such faint print, I can't fathom. 

Thanks.  None of my favorites are available. What a shame. I have tried to like Banana Republic, but it is just too sweet. Maybe I'll try that one bourbon drink. 

Thanks. Just looking ahead to our first cruise as Zenith in Oct.

Read too many times that the apps can be totally wrong. If I remember correctly, there was only one available on Beyond in May and I can't remember what it was called. 

Which drinks, if any, are currently available at WCB that ARE covered by the premium package, please? 

You never know when a "flash sale" will happen. Check often. 

Common cocktails are made with "well" liquors, those on the classic package. If that is what you drink, you are OK with classic. Wines are a bit better on the premium package. But if you do upgrade to premium, when ordering a cocktail, you must specify the liquor with which it is made from the premium list, or you will get the basic, "well" liquors. For instance, "Grey Goose, bloody mary,".

On a back to back, are Zeniths included  with suite guests for the turnaround procedure, please? 

We didn't hate the Infinite veranda. Just didn't like as well as a real balcony. Those are not in any sense of the word an actual "veranda" or balcony. Just a big window. 

I'd keep any balcony over an "infinite veranda". And yes, that is from an S class ship, not an E class ship. 

Same as above for us recently. Moved non refundable deposit with $100 each surcharge.  But this is in the US. Other countries may have other rules. 

My thanks as well. Great shot of the Sky Lounge! We will be on EC in Oct. and hoping she looks as good as in your pics.

Wilwills- There is not that much of interest listed on your tour. The liquor stop is really nothing. I recommend the narrated trolley tour of Willamstad, the capital. Lots of interesting colored buildings and their history and canals. 

I've not been on a cruise to Bali, but I have never been on a Celebrity cruise that did NOT have a series of lectures. On a recent cruise it was a series on how innocent people may end up in prison. Very, very interesting. If you are every arrested for something you did NOT do...don't talk without a lawyer. That " right to remain silent" is very much for innocents' protection. 

Me too. Often the "return" box has several donated books. I always look there first. 

Your usual attire is fine. 

Been to almost all the Caribbean islands to which the main cruise lines go. Without a doubt, we find St. Lucia to be the most beautiful of several beautiful islands. An island tour there is a best bet. St. Thomas is also a beauty, but traffic there is awful  I agree that a catamaran tour of Antigua can be great. If you like snorkeling Bonaire is a water paradise, the best diving in the Caribbean. Dominica is so lush and reminds me of Maui. On Curacao there are all the brightly colored buildings and a canal. I would stay away from Belize...nothing interesting at the port, and a long tender ride to get there.  I also feel Cozumel, once a favorite of mine, has been ruined by excessive cruise traffic. 

We were on Beyond a month ago, and yes, there was the "Seafood" extravaganza. Mostly what I saw were mounds of boiled shrimp. 

Sorry. I thought they were departing from FLL. 

You are wise to be considering coming in a day or two early, especially with your wife's mobility situation. Also, tho' cabs, Ubers and Lyft work well, your transportation situation would be much simpler if you fly in to FLL. instead of Miami. 

canderson, All kidding aside, she is doing a pretty good job of it so far!  We left RCI for X several years ago. Not happy to see all the "royalization" so far. 

Yes, depending on loyalty status. 

canderson- Where did you get this? I know there is no climbing wall on Equinox.
