I’m not a shareholder so maybe they’ve gone over my head. I did buy in to Carnival during the Covid halt but we sold it for a small return once it climbed back up. Our carnival days are long gone so the share holder benefits aren’t appealing. Not sure the RCL benefit is enough to entice me to buy in. all that to say I still maintain that despite multiple threads that may occur, it’s impossible to see them all unless one monitors these boards 24/7. I made a post the other day and was told it was old news. But if wasn’t to me and possibly wasn’t to others either. Not trying to be argumentative, I just think there’s enough room on these boards to unwittingly repeat a topic and still attract new eyes.

I find that old news is only old if you already knew it! Thanks for the heads-up!

I have this suite booked in July. Would you mind elaborating on what makes this suite your favorite? Ours is a 4 night and I was wondering the same thing about the included liquor...is there a 7 night minimum to qualify for this perk? Edit: I see @Kteacher already addressed this in another post.

Thank you for taking us along. Your live from has been most helpful and enjoyable. A random question, if I may...was wondering what facilities on board were open during the private island visit. Do they shut everything down like all the other ports or keep things open since it's their private island? On MSC everything on board remains open, including the casino and I like to hit it at that time when it's less crowded. As I am taking my DM on a gambling cruise on Reflection In July, I know she would prefer to remain on board in the casino if it's open. Thank you and safe travels home!

It would be nice if it was open while at the PI as many people don't get off the ship and would enjoy the quiet of Luminae....although, I understand that the crew need down time too.

Also interested in this answer. One of the piers is walkable to town and the other isn't?

Exact opposite for us! Being in a non Suite category on E class b2b is what convinced us that we didn’t need it to have an enjoyable cruise. On the suite leg of our cruise we spent the vast majority of our time outside the retreat to include Luminae, which we found bordered upon dreadful for ambience. Our next category on Beyond is a deluxe ocean view.

It will be Reflection so if we do it, will get DM a one time pass. IMO PG isn’t that great on Celebrity, regardless of ship class. I much prefer the thermal suites on either NCL or MSC…but I digress.

Good to know. What was the price of this experience?

What about the Persian Gardens pass on a port day? Any ideas? I'm bringing my DM on her first Celebrity cruise in July.

Hmm...logging in with the new password is big! Especially when you probably knew your old password by heart and also knew you hadn't changed it! Regarding no rooms available, my TA told me that when that happens, they've gone into their system and are usually about to change rates. The glass half full gal in me wants to think those new rates will be better...

Best response….ever!

Omg!! How cool is that?! Thanks for the tip! I would love that too.

So glad you had a nice cruise. Your itinerary is actually one of my favorites, sans Grand Cayman. I’ve never been on Apex but we will embark on Edge in a few weeks, also in a MC suite. Am I to understand that you asked your room steward/butler to empty your fridge? And then they filled it with your requests? I’m not sure how that works or if we will even bother but like you, I don’t care to be charged for something I didn’t consume…wouldn’t chase down the minimal charges but how interesting that they occurred on the last day when you’re not there to dispute. Question though, if not Celebrity, then who for your next cruise adventure? I agree that, like you we no longer see the value in suites but I’m finding that there are still some good deals to be had once in a while in other categories. Thanks for the review from one of my favorite CC’ers. 😊

Oh dear! Such a distressing thing to read from you Morph! Our Grandeur cruise is next April. DH says he’s looking forward to high brow service. I’ve told him to temper his expectations. 😳
