and leave sg without deployment?

I'm talking about from a global progressive perspective. Singapore is continuing to evolve as a fly-cruise hub, probably much faster than it would have if Hong Kong/Shanghai/ Beijing was in the mix

It's okay. One's loss is another's win. Singapore wins 🤣. Still waiting for Disney to announce its expansion in Asia 😁

As expected.

Is it me or does it feel as though the gaps between each deployment cycle keeps shrinking each year? Eventually we'll get a rolling basis of continuous deployments..

Around the western world 🤣

Alright thanks for the info!

Is this at any bar or a specific bar each sailing/dedicated happy hour bar?

ah that sucks, then i'll continue to look for it haha

Is Eden a specialty premium restaurant?

Is this international? or within the US only?

yea that's a good idea. I'll try that thanks!

That't great information! Would Celebrity have something similar to Royal where Diamond/elite members get drink vouchers on celebrity as well? or is it only the designated happy hour? Turns out we chose 2 connecting concierge class cabins on deck 12 on the starboard side. 2 bathrooms were the main consideration for this, although we rarely travel on celebrity and I would have liked my parents to experience the retreat for their first impression of X.

Also how is Deck 7 for sky suites? I'm considering an upgrade.

Hello! I'm trying to recognize my parent's CAS status as they have sailed Royal almost as much as me and I'm Diamond already. But because they are tech dinosaurs, is there anyone i can email regarding tying up their last name and reservation number to their lifelong CAS number?

Thank you all for your tips and advice. Due to lack of availability, I have reserved a IV balcony for my parents and a connecting solo balcony cabin (it was the cheapest option, and they were all already very expensive). This is a first, as I've always read and fake booked solo cabins on royal for the thrill of it, but also don't know what perks/lack of perks solo balcony gets. If anyone has tried it before, how does it differ to a normal room in amenities and service wise?

We're stuck on deciding because we are left with only Sky suites for all suite categories for this sailing, and I would have recommended them something bigger if it was available so that all 3 of us could be together comfortably.

Yeah.. The retreat sounds like a great experience, but I would rather they experience it than forgo it and take a normal IV cabin to accompany me.

Thanks for the welcome! Do you know whether travelling as a party, all pax in the party need the same package even if we're in different rooms IE. Suite + Verandah ? I feel like recommending the Retreat experience to my parents as they have heard a lot of good reviews of celebrity from friends but with the retreat, it would only apply to them and not me if we are in separate rooms?

So guests not in aquaclass cannot pay extra to dine in Blu? We are also considering getting a suite + verandah connecting or 2 connecting IVs/Verandah. That sounds like it would complicate dining for us.

Hello all, I am an avid Royal cruiser, and I'm planning a family holiday for 3 of us, on Celebrity for the first time. Coming over to this brand, i've some questions about how things work. We're currently looking at a cruise onboard the Celebrity Beyond for 11N out of Rome to the Greek Isles. 1. Which class of balcony staterooms guarantees a traditional balcony, (i can only see concierge, verandah and Aqua class which i believe is also a balcony type). Which one is infinite Verandah's? 2. Is dining at blu only specialty, unless you get an aqua-class stateroom or above category? 3. Booking below an aqua class category means that drinks, wifi and tips are additional purchases that need to be made onboard? 4. For a family of 3, two parents and myself (25), would a skysuite for 11N be okay, considering the worth of the additional perk of the retreat? Any insight would be very helpful and much appreciated. I'm so excited to be finally sailing Celebrity after more than 6 years of trying to get on one of their ships!

I really don't know what other class of ship, or which possible ship would serve that market though.

Not sure about that. Things are still very much fluid in that region and I think Royal has asserted that it is not as determined to serve as large a market it originally wanted to with China.

Anthem has never sailed in Asia before.

Icon to me doesn't look like a really big ship. Yes its longer and maybe even wider than Oasis, but for sure looks a lot shorter. Counted only 7 decks of balconies, and particularly the bow, looks either very high, or the sloping front face of the ship is very narrow.
