Hi There, Someone posted a pic that Le Grand Bistro went a la carte. Could you verify this? if you can. Or is it an option instead of the lunch fee they had for $25 Thanks

It took about 3-5 days to apply.

Only if you are in the retreat.

I concur, 4 weeks ago on Ascent, our butler said she has 22 rooms to cover. She did stock our room with soda and brought breakfast and was very friendly when I saw her in the hallway. We are not ones that would make the butler run around for our needs.

It does not show up while on board. Everyone please call captain club after you cash in your points. You will need your credit card account number and booking number. I just went through this thinking once I cashed it on on BOA website it will just be added to your cruise for my cruise last month. IT DID NOT. I called and they applied it to my upcoming cruise. I was told that you have to always call in once you cash your points in and have it applied to your booking.

Who is the current cruise director?

This is easy Eden,

You can answer your own question by saying, How much time do I use a balcony? If you think you wouldn't use it much then take the newer ship and an ocean view.

I took $200 out of my Refundable OBC on a slot machine, 3 weeks ago. I was not charged any fee. I played $40 then cashed out. On the last day I still had $125 in OBC, added that to a slot machine, then cashed out. I had just over $5 left when we got off the ship and it was refunded to my CC .

Shelly, did you notice if Rooftop Grill was open for lunch on sea days?

Sorry to hear that. I am booked on that cruise. Well the kids will enjoy Universal. Enjoy your vacation.

Not sure when you are going, have you checked prices lately. They are having a flash sale yesterday and today.

So the adult area has a couple more options for food, Pizza empanadas and coconut shrimp, Loungers and float mats are available. The pool area will be thumping, as there is a DJ, so if you like pool this is where you could suffer, to the left and right away from the pool it won’t be as loud. Chill island a south beach seems like a better option for no DJ. or if you want to pay for the beach club. Beach club is higher end, think of retreat, with lobster and filet but with the $100 plus price tag.

I was thinking of doing Hideaway beach for $27 on my upcoming Beyond cruise. I just reserved it, but might cancel. Thank you for the information.

Prices vary by date here is May 26 Beyond

How was the crowd at the pool, I know by swimup bar area seems to be packed. My partner gets a little overwhelmed when people are practically on top of you.

What beach did you end up going to, on Coco Cay?

Terminal doors to let people come in started around 10am, as you are in a suite they will bring you to a different room. They started letting us on just about 11am. this was 2 weeks ago on Ascent.

If you have any non refundable obc it came from the cruise line, through your TA. My TA breaks it down. This has always been the case with me for over 20 years.

Non-refundable which always comes from the cruise line will 90% of the time will always show up on your account when you login to Celebrity, this credit can be used toward pre-purchase products prior to your cruise. I have never seen refundable credit show up till you board the ship on my account. Yes always check with your TA when booking where the OBC is coming from. My TA always breaks it down.

Any additional obc from a TA is refundable, so the $308 is. Leave it un the account and it will be refunded to your credit card on file with the cruise ship, you do not lose it. I just did this on Ascent 2 weeks ago, I saw a refund on my credit card 2 days later. I am cruising in 4 weeks and getting $195 non refundable and $508 refundable. The ta also gave me the option to issue a check after the cruise, I just tell them to add the total for on board. The $195 will be used first, if any left over comes back to me.

I Have a Samsung s23 ultra. I shutoff data roaming, login to the ship WiFi, then I am able to toggle my hotspot button on the phone. At this point I put my phone in airplane mode and my WiFi and hotspot stays on.

Download the App put in the information, then look at the menus under luminae, will be the easiest.

Airplane mode is important, but if you forget, The most important part is to have Data roaming off if you forget to put it in Airplane mode. Data rack up the phone bill.

Only if you have a Samsung phone, its possible to Share your wifi connection through hotspot, Apple phones NO.
