Elite Plus, so have some experiences for comparisons. What we liked about Beyond: Eden, Oceanview Cafe, 4 MDR experience, and the Infinite Veranda cabin.. Of course, it's not a veranda at all, but a mini sun room. There is actually more storage space in the closet than pictures seem to show. The staff was incredible ship wide. That's it. The ship was loud over all and very dark in some areas such as WCB. Craft Social is ridiculously small for such a large ship. A lot of areas encouraged use of stairs. Those at the Martini Bar seemed dangerous. And speaking of dangerous, who in the heck thought that dark maze approach to Eden was a good idea?! If no one has been badly injured there, I am surprised! Shows were strong on effects with the amazing lights and screens. however, only 2 production shows each of our two back to back cruises. Using acrobatics in all shows seemed redundant. Seemed as if every time I wanted to take a drink into the Club,to escape the noise of Craft Social, it was not open. Just didn't like the layout of the ship and the noise. Have Eclipse, Reflection and Silhoutte booked for the future.

You are assigned a check-in time when you sign in for your Express boarding pass which is available 45 days prior to boarding day.

I am afraid it is true. I'll find out for sure when I board Beyond on Friday. We have an IV, but the storage is no better. I am bringing 2 magnetic hooks.

Thanks. I will see what they can come up with on Beyond. I love the Zacapa Old Fashioned, but now it is priced out of the premium package. I think most of the drinks there are also over $17. But I will see if they can be inventive.

Am I correct to assume the WCB also has various wines? I remember when WCB's were new, they served only the menu drinks. Apparently, they now have some limited drinks, wine and beer.

Above is correct. Flights have to be after a certain time and I remember it was 11:30 on our last FLL departure.

Can you find out if Caleb Crawford, who does the "Beyond the Podium", will be on next cruise, please? We board April 27. His presentations look very interesting to me.

Can you recommend a quiet spot for a before dinner drink for those of us not in the Retreat? Looks like there are few indoor bars on this ship. I am hoping Eden bar is a good choice for 5-ish drinks. Looks like the Craft Social is way too small for this big ship. We are not into the Martini Bar at all. Besides, it is always crowded and noisy.

As far as noise from the OVC above Sky Suites, the closer to the entrance area forward of the Sky Suite, the quieter the cabin. The further back you go, the more under the tiled OVC areas and nearer the galley entrance into the OVC where the carts really rattle. We have stayed as far back as 2124 and had no issues. You can barely hear a cart occasionally.

Is the Bistro open for lunch on boarding day? Since we have the Elite Plus 15% discount, we may decide to eat there and avoid the buffet madness on the first day.

Is this area only used for lunch? Is there a bar? Hours? It's so large I assume there must be some other functions.

OBC from the card is refundable. Either take it out in cash last day or Celebrity will credit it back to the card.

French Caribbean, coconut rum, mango mix, raspberry liquour. Not too sweet and it's pretty.

What dry rose is available in the premium package, please? A few months ago I read that Whispering Angel was covered. Recently I have read it is now priced out of the package. I know there is another one or two brands, but can't think of the names. One has "Oliver" in the title?

Elite Plus? Where can I find this on line, please?
