5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. I would not do Constellation. Do a YouTube search of the cabins. Yuck. I think you would be very happy with Edge or Solstice class ships.
  2. Because we sailed in a balcony b2b on Eclipse in October for $499+taxes per week. No casino discount. They were struggling to give Solstice and then Eclipse sailings away
  3. Completely agree. I’ve never heard volume on Celebrity like this. It was more like Royal. Maybe gearing up for the 3/4 day sailings.
  4. I don’t think it sucks, I like the product, I just find the branding and market position odd. Premium but not, young but not, old but not HAL, etc.
  5. First off, I love Celebrity, just an observation while on Reflection. I feel like the brand is in an identity crisis. They advertise to a younger demographic, play modern pop music, advertise a “relaxed luxury resort at sea” etc., but their primary client base is 50+, they are cutting corners and nickel and diming as you would never see at a luxury resort, and their programming onboard is definitely greater toward an older demographic. It’s very much an anomaly to me. It seems like the older people think Celebrity is going downhill, the young people think it’s too old, and the folks looking for a more upscale experience think it falls short. Just interesting that they try to straddle so many things, but seems they don’t excel at any of them. Luckily we are younger but prefer a calm environment, good food, good shows, etc., so none of this really bothers us and we enjoy the product.
  6. Was on Reflection last week. Silhouette is similar but far superior due to the renovation. Reflection is shabby in places (cabins, outdoor furniture, carpet) where Silhouette feels fresher. Food on Reflection was fantastic compared to our last few X cruises.
  7. Or, in Royal’s case the last couple years, don’t.
  8. I’m shocked they didn’t do major work before the WC. We sailed from Tampa in 2023 and it was really eye opening- we thought surely it would all be remediated and cleaned up before the WC.
  9. It was dry docked for a technical drydock in 2022. It was NOT refurbished. It has not been refurbished in a decade. She’s very tired. Patched here and there but certainly outdated and overdue for an overhaul, as are most of the Vision and Radiance class ships.
  10. I’d wait for Utopia or Wonder to do the 3 nights. The cabins on Allure are old and kind of gross. It’s ok for 3 days but there’s a brand new ship coming to do these sailings later this year.
  11. Enchantment May-June 16 2024.
  12. Those days are long gone. You’ll find an occasional deal but they are rarely if ever great deals anymore.
  13. I don’t think people use them any more. Every moved over to F B groups mostly.
  14. Adding to this- he explicitly stated they are paid the same ~$1 drink value on the D,D+,Pinnacle drinks. Contrary to the tired misinformation spread everywhere on these forums insisting that people need to tip cash because they don’t get paid on those.
