The itinerary is suddenly less attractive, but Labadee will just be another "sea day", I guess. Yeah! Glad to see they've added Labadee back into the mix. Key West is ho hum to me, I live in Florida and have been there many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2Cruise 701 Posted August 14, 2019 #28 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I noticed no perks with the refundable deposit? I'm not a perk fan and wish they would do away with them, but if they are going to charge over 1K more to make it refundable, I would like them to add the perks back 😲 Tampa is much easier port for us plus I liked the canal and the longer southern with Antigua and St. Kitts, but the prices for the refundable without any perks are ridiculous.

I booked the Jan 4, 2021 Southern route yesterday (yes, even with Labadee...) and my TA just called me laughing - the price for a C2 went up $400 overnight. No perks. Plenty of time between now and then to watch for price drops, but this was a very quick increase. I booked yesterday too...and today the option I chose only available with NON REFUNDABLE deposit, but mine has all the perks and its still fully refundable.

cruisinagain1960 Posted August 14, 2019 #30 Share Posted August 14, 2019 We just changed our 11/20 from FLL to 4/9/21 on the Constellation - got a great deal and all the perks we originally booked. Cruise price is actually about $500 less p/p and we prefer to sail out of Tampa because of the valet parking : )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan&Ronnie Posted August 14, 2019 #31 Share Posted August 14, 2019 We are very excited to have a Celebrity Ship in Tampa! Booked the Christmas & New Years Holiday sailing. Pricing for a balcony was pretty good and it's always been a bucket list item to cruise on New Years. And not having to fly, stay at a hotel or park (Uber or family is cheaper), it worked out well. Welcome, Celebrity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebInAntigua Posted August 14, 2019 #32 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I have a s2 Sky Suite on hold, NRD with all 4 perks. If we go refundable price goes up $400pp. Seems best to just commit and go with NRD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebInAntigua Posted August 14, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Anyone else looking at the Dec 23 holiday sailing and getting nervous about how booked it already shows? Really hope this one doesn't get chartered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosttoyswin Posted August 14, 2019 #35 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Looks like the February 15, 2021 Constellation is popular. We just booked it also, NRD was $400 pp cheaper and since we have never cancelled except for medical (thank you insurance) seems like a safe bet. We will enjoy trying our winter precruise in a the Tampa area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkystheLimit Posted August 15, 2019 #41 Share Posted August 15, 2019 We just transferred a booking to the 11/21/20 cruise. Excited to cruise from Tampa. Like the itinerary and we can drive from our home. First time on an M class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a SS on the Infinity and liked the layout better than SS on the Equinox. For the Equinox sailing we couldn’t justify the extra cost for a suite and had a nice AQ cabin with the large balcony. The balcony isn’t as large on the M class but the location on 6 is nice as it is only a few stairs up from the main public places.

That would be great to stop in Cuba but I can see a lot of potential problems. If they did stop in Cuba instead of their island passengers would complain because they booked the cruise just for that stop and then others would be happier but would still complain and all would be wanting some compensation. I wish the two cruises we now have booked would stop in Cuba and would be willing to pay the extra port fees but then again others would complain and want to be compensated and not want to pay the extra port fees even though that is what they wanted.

rkak Posted August 16, 2019 #48 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Booked today S1 Nov 14th out of Tampa. Usually "Loyal to Royal" but we've done the Brilliance 3 times and the previous ships also out of Tampa. Glad a new ship here. Done the big Royal ships out of Port Canaveral and Port Everglades. we're looking forward to a smaller ship! The TA had issues booking us today. Not on their site so she had to book directly on Celebrity and then transfer. Got the 4 perks but had to pay a deposit up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in Bayshore Windmill Estates - it would be great. We cannot afford a suite - someday. Look for me if you are on FB (Annemarie LeBlanc) and message me - maybe we could get together.
