You all were correct. No change to rate after final payment unless it’s to upgrade to a different cabin category for more money.

Just found T'erds def above. 🥴

If there is a beverage package sale on the cruise planner and you are entitled to a 15% reduction due to CC status, is the 15% calculated on the regular or sale price?

Does Celebrity allow upgrade to AI or downgrade to Cruise Only after final payment? Just curious if that’s an option.

My cruise on Equinox shows a 9% off price on the cruise planner for both Premium & Classic Packages. An ever higher percent reduction for non-alcohol packages.

Quick somewhat related question. Quick somewhat related question, if anyone knows. If you purchase AI fare, and then find there is a Beverage package sale, is the cost to upgrade still the difference between both sale prices, i.e. $15 dollars? So in effect, no discount to upgrade? Seems wrong but to Celebrity's benefit since you didn't have access to that sale info before you booked the AI.

On more question, I noted on the Membership Benefits PDF that one of the benefits of Elite Plus are complementary cappuccino, latte, espresso and tea throughout sailing. Does that mean I can order those drinks for free at Al Bacio? I don't recall that benefit pre-Covid and certainly worth considering when calculating the cost/value of Beverage Packages. Thanx!

Awww. See I forgot that. Thank you!

Thanks so much for posting. After Covid interrupted our more frequent cruising, I've lost track of all benefits of Elite Plus. Is this PDF still accurate? I just checked on the Celebrity website and this is all that it showed under Elite Plus benefits. Benefits Two complimentary bags of laundry 15% discount on Specialty Dining cover charge 15% discount at The Spa 35% off internet package or internet upgrade 10% off beverage package upgrade to Premium pre-cruise 40% discount on any digital or print photo package at the Photo Gallery Am I missing something?

We are planning a short 4/5 day family cruise in a few months with our daughter and our grandaughter (30-months-old). We didn't start cruising until our daughter was 8 or 9 so I'm not familiar with what there is to do with a toddler who is not yet toilet-trained nor old enough to join group activities in the children's club. Would love any help from anyone who has experience on OASIS with a toddler. Unfortunately, the RC website is not very specific. Thanks in advance.

Would love to hear about this as well. Can anyone help?

Will someone be kind enough to advise how the Diamond Lounge currently works? I just read that as Diamond members, we will get 4 drink vouchers per day, but there is still Diamond Lounge. We haven't sailed with Royal in over 10 years (once the kids grew up) but now have grandkids and we will be going back. Do you still get free drinks in the Diamond Lounge or has that benefit been replaced by the vouchers? Honestly, getting re-educated about the rules, perks, etc. again appears daunting! 🙂 Thanks to anyone who can help.

I've heard that the tropical storm a few weeks ago stirred up the seaweed significantly in South Florida. It wasn't like that 2 weeks ago in Miami Beach. I'm headed to Hollywood Beach tomorrow so hoping it's not too bad. 😒

NRD?

Hi all, We've decided to cancel a cruise in Europe and replace it with one to NE/Canada this fall. After looking at the options, focusing on dates alone, I noted that the itineraries are slightly different & we don't have much time to analyze the differences before our deadline to make the change. So I'm hoping some experienced Oceania cruisers will help us! : Looking at the NYC-Montreal or Montreal-NYC routes between mid-Sept and the end of October, 2022. Most stops are the same but some itineraries stop in Boston and Bar Harbor, while others stop in Portland, Shelburne, and Corner Brook. There's another one that visits Bermuda skipping New England, and another that starts in Montreal-Miami. Looking for any advice, whether it be the time to book or the specific itinerary, from those who have sailed these. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you so much!
