Hopefully this will help you. In January we had the complete opposite experience. We are both rather tall i am almost 5' 10" and my dh is taller. We booked a precruise hotel with Marriott. Bed was soooo low to the ground bc it was a thin mattress on a platform. We left hotel went 20 minutes away (we had our car, cruise was in galveston) to a different brand but still a Marriott, checked in and 😡 platform bed AGAIN. didn't leave as this was second time we'd paid, 1st refused to refund money. >>> 2nd Marriott said.... ALL Marriott now have low platform beds So Marriott is a never again for us.

Interesting that she applied for shareholder benefit a week after booking, I always fret and mark my calendar for 3 weeks before the cruise. I had no idea I could simply do it, and check it off my list so far in advance Thank you

We just did a royal cruise with the non alcoholic package, we don't drink soda (just Bottled water, coffee and juice) and in order to make the math work we had to have 13 drinks between the 2 of us a day.(which wasn't a problem because of the following) One huge bright spot was the spa cafe, we often had late afternoon smoothies and grabbed a bottle of minute maid apple juice for me to enjoy in the room later. BUT... I see apex's spa cafe is only open 7-10am and noon-2pm > question 1, does celebrity (apex) have bottled juice? > question 2, where can I get it other than spa cafe? >>> my intention is to Not have to run get a juice before 2pm or store just a glass of juice in my fridge > question 3, can you simply order a strawberry banana smoothie from the spa cafe or only there menu smoothies? Thank you for any replies and advice.

If you are comparing uber prices to something, I found it helpful to get the uber estimate at the same time of day and day of the week we are actually there. Example flight lands at 4pm Miami time on a Friday... I did estimate on a Friday 3pm my time because, it will vary and make a big difference.

Actually it's bc we can fly nonstop AA from New Orleans to mia at much better times ...than our other 2 nonstop options into/out of FLL (southwest and jetblue)

I am flying into mia and sailing from port everglades later this year. I did a bit of research and landed on this.... The different plans for arrival then departure... We will arrive mid day and want to get to ft Lauderdale hotel quickly so surprisingly we are going with larrys limo they are the same price as uber xl and a SET price no surge pricing etc. When we disembark we have a late afternoon flight and are in no big hurry, so we will get uber to trirail station, it is FAR more involved... uber, waiting at train station, lugging bags on to train, at mia transfer to people mover to the actual airport, I watched a youtube.com video and decided it was TOO much hubbub for before we cruise... The savings from the post cruise will more than pay for thestep up to Larry limo vs small uber PRE cruise

Oh ty 😊

Does anyone know if the bathroom outlet will stay on when the bathroom light is off? (For a nightlight)

Sounds like what I will be doing, ty for your reply 🙂

Ty for reply , if you've never been.... Alaska is the best, better than I thought it would be

I know the beverage package prices can be different on all ships and itineraries But my planner has shown the zero proof package at 10% off since I booked Jan last year. ANYONE have experience with a bigger discount than that?? Just wondering if I should even bother to hope

I for one totally understand your point OP. Sorry that some only take the time to post negative comments. Like all social media, you get people that can't add any real feedback and choose to be snippy.

Ty for your detailed reply, I appreciate it 🙂

I am so confused when I booked long long ago, I simply clicked anytime dining, even though, we HATE anytime bc I was told that was the ONLY mdr seating. Recently I read on another thread, someone mentioned early seating, and when I ck'ed my planner it gets even more confusing It shows I can book cypress, tuscan and Normandie but NOT cosmo My anytime can now NOT be changed to early it is full......wt_ Did I miss celebrity's announcement that they were going back to early and late plus anytime.... and celebrity totally _____ me.

Well I went for it, booked via VT Normally booking 8 months away and before cruises' final payment are not my jam. But the savings were way too good to pass up. Plus if I read correctly, room is able to be canceled up to 48hrs before arrive 🙂 Thank you ALL for the advice 🙂
