They did in Beyond a few weeks ago.

As far as I know any flight you book you can cancel without penalty within 24 hours. Just in case you want to do that.

Except in this case they could get a discount I couldn’t.

If you used a TA I would have them do it. My TA was able to get the 15% off the sale price for us this past week.

What time did you have to be out of your cabin on the last day? We were just on Beyond and had to be out at 7:00 which I don’t ever remember it being that early. We are on reflection in AC in May and I am hoping for a little later!!!

That’s amazing! You should be incredibly proud of yourself.

Interesting. We were on the Beyond a few weeks ago in a SV and were told loungers were no longer allowed due to a guest injury. I confirmed this with the CEO office when I got home. Ridiculous in my opinion.

Be aware in order to have a traditional balcony, if that’s important to you, your options on E class are a sunset veranda or a suite. Everything else is an infinity balcony.

Love this! We are also on a B2B on Silhouette at the end of the year. Our first one! We love this ship!

We were able to watch NFL games in our cabin on Beyond at the beginning of January.

Yup. We have put our wine in Our checked luggage many times and never had a problem. The only thing that seems to happen is it takes the luggage longer to arrive.

Thank you! I will definitely call just to be sure!

Thank you! We are in the same stateroom so that should help.

thank you! I booked these cruises at separate times and I did not use a TA. Do I need to call celebrity to let them know that I am B2B or can they see that by the dates?

Yes! We are doing our first B2B next year and I can’t wait to be on the ship basically alone!!!

You don’t need anything to start the process by choosing an arrival time. You can go back and enter your passport info etc to complete it.

We have always gotten 11:30 or earlier for check in. The only time we had a line was the earlier check in times because we had to wait for the ship to clear. All FL ports. I am sure it is different in other ports. Once they start boarding the ship it goes fast. There are so many people checking everyone in.

We have found if you show up around 11:30 or after we get onboard in 15 minutes. Any earlier than that seems to be a long wait.

You can also have them pressed for a cost.

I’m sorry but I had to laugh at “international passenger base, some of which do not have same etiquette when it comes to the buffet”. I want to cruise on the cruise line you go on for this etiquette you see!! 🤣

As soon as you board go to the table on deck 6. This is what we did on Seaside in September to change our 5:15 dining time to 7:30. No problem changing it, however, we were about 5th in line and that line got very long quickly. I believe the dining times were 5:15, 7:30 and 9:30.

we were just on Beyond with anytime dining. We made reservations for all of the 4 restaurants but had been told by others on message boards that they will not be honored. That was not true on Beyond. We were told by the hostess that you can either show up at anytime without a reservation or, if you have a reservation a table will be held for you. honestly the only night the dining rooms were busy and chaotic was the first night. After that there were plenty of tables when we went at 7:00-7:30. my understanding is that there is no set dining time which makes sense since there are 4 MDR which you want to experience.

This wasn’t a suite but a regular SV so I don’t know about the suites. What I do know is that we were told the same thing about someone having an accident so no loungers in any SV. Imagine my surprise when someone posted a you tube video of their SV on the same cruise with a lounger on the balcony. I was not happy. Not their fault at all! Good for them but obviously this is not consistent and being told it was due to an accident you would think it would be, Besides being ridiculous! I can handle getting up from a lounger! 🤣 I agree. Not a fan of IV and was really looking forward to having the balcony to lounge on since it was a full ship.

No. We were told by our room steward that they are no longer allowed on SV for safety reasons! 🙄 She wouldn’t budge.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for and enjoy. We just got off Beyond. Yes it’s a beautiful ship but by the end we prefer the S class, then M. The ship was at capacity and felt very crowded. We didn’t like the martini bar, missed the alcoves and space. We felt everyone was on top of each other. The 4 main dining rooms were very nice and food was good but you don’t have the same wait staff so that interaction and getting to know the staff, which we enjoy, wasn’t part of the experience. The balcony furniture in the SV was not comfortable at all so sitting out there was not as enjoyable as it could have been. Again, we had a wonderful cruise, it’s hard not to, but I'm very happy our next 2 are on the Silhouette.
