We also did the same tour as described by @Jim_Iain with the same company, Culture Holidays India. Fantastic.

We have been on Royal in a few years but I believe there is a difference in the dress codes between the two lines. Here us a link to the dress on Celebrity. https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/faqs/onboard-dress-code#collapseOne

Excellent. When we got 1 day out from NZ the weather improved. Captain Matt took over in Auckland, Giuseppe has been his usual funny self, food and entertainment all great. Sorry you had to cancel.

That makes sense.

Just randomly ran across your post. We are on the Edge 6 days out from Honolulu. 😘

Cruise was won both times we played, unfortunately we weren’t the winners but fun anyway.

The dining info and menus you see in the app are for the current sailing of the ship you are booked on. So if the ship is currently doing a 7N sailing it will show venue closed or nothing beyond night 7.

I was denied a few years ago when the 2 sailings were booked with different TAs.

The app check in works as you describe it on Royal. You can select an arrival time and complete the rest later. Checkin normally opens 45 days out at midnight at the port of departure.

Made the Roof Top area one to avoid, unfortunately.

If it was based on new revenue then you would think our$3600 bid would have won, but it didn’t. Both of us bidders were in SVs cabins to start so the chain of upgrades would have been the same.

As @prmssksaid no one knows for certain but I think how much you originally paid may well figure into it. We recently bid to Move Up from a SV to a Magic Carpet SS. We were booked with a cruise only fare and bid $1800 pp. Another person on the Roll Call also in a SV bid $1100pp and won the upgrade. They were booked with a AI fare so there original cost was about $6900 vs ours at $4400. The lower bid ultimately got X more revenue $6900 +$2200 =$9100 compared to us $4400 $3600 = $8000.

There are a number of difference between the E class ships. The Edge and Apex are almost identical while the Beyond and Ascent had a number of changes from the Edge & Apex. Location of the cabanas is 1, also a much larger and improved Sunset Bar, a World Class Bar, LeVoyage specialty restaurant, larger Martini Bar, Retreat Sun Deck is 2 levels, Luminae is in a difference location and other changes.

The loungers outside the cabanas were available to anyone on our Beyond sailing.

The e docs can be found on the website. Log into your reservation, go to Your Documents to view or print. The electronic documents will be there 30 days or less before boarding. As mentioned the luggage tag is at the end of the e docs.
