Never seen real ballroom dancing on Celebrity. If you want Ballroom/Sequence come to UK lines Cunard,P&O and Fred Olsen they have spaces dedicated to that type of dancing plus dance hosts.

A bit like a furniture store in the UK called DFS,,,,,they have had a ‘closing down’ sale now for 10 years.

Does your partner know you are having an affair with a ‘ship’.😀 Seriously,,,continuous noise in a cabin can have a debilitating effect leaving the sufferer exhausted.

If you are lying in bed at night listening to the ship talking to you. I suggest you give that nightcap in the Ensemble Lounge a miss.😁

It should do it’s in the $15 range,,,,Martini flights are a No because they are over $30.

How did you manage to get into the baggage reclaim area from landside? Did you have to go through some kind of security?

I didn’t mention sea state in my post,,, As for the Med being rough…not often but it does have its moments.

I remember reading on CC when Beyond was in the Med people were sleeping on the sofa’s in the atrium/Martini Bar area to try to get some respite from the noise in their cabins.

Nice looking ship shame about that orange monstrosity stuck on the side.

The OBC amount is dependent on the length of cruise. Over 10 days it’s $800. Ive just booked a 10nt cruise from Southampton for May 23,two of us in cabin=$800 OBC.

Hi I prefer Guinness. OK then,,,don’t forget the Jameson’s whiskey in Cork,,,,it’s distillery is in Middleton,Cork. I was on a Ireland/Iceland cruise before lockdown and the ship (Reflection.) had no Guinness except bottles of Foreign Extra,,,,even the Irish on board couldn’t drink it,,,except a man form Cobh who drank it with water!!!! He liked it weak/watery just like Murphy’s.😉

Hi And don’t forget the Guinness in Cork/Cobh. Not sure overnights in Copenhagen/Stockholm add any value.

Hi What demand is there if they are the opening prices? #1…Not in the UK. #2…Thats a good idea. #3..Thats a better idea.but if I do this and the prices drop,,,,too late I’ve booked under #2.

Hi jelayne. Trouble is here in the UK we can’t just reprice,,,,and we don’t have refundable deposits. I hear of US cruisers booking 6/7 cruises then picking just one and getting deposit refunds on the others. For us in the UK and presumable the US that just pushes the price up.

I’ve noticed…..why? I see on this forum ships still sailing at ~65%/70% capacity from US. Most Silhouette sailings this summer from UK have been as good as full. That will change when Beyond comes over at the prices I’m seeing. An Ionic Suite @ £76000 for a 13 day cruise? You can buy a house in some towns for that in the UK.😉

Hi It won’t be a new ship in two years.!! Celebrity cruises from Southampton in 2022 weren’t going for a song,,,I went on one. I am pricing up a few cruise lines for 2024 i they come out far far better priced than Celebrity from Southampton.

Yes,the 2nd para was from a Social media post which I totally agreed with. As did many of the posters on that platform.

Hi I came back from a cruise on P&O a few weeks ago,14 nights Southampton to the Med. We paid £145 pppn in a balcony with a DP. The cheapest cruises from Southampton tend to be Norway Fjords,,,,you can get plenty under £1500/£2000 for 2 for 7 nights,,,,Celebrity are pricing them (I’ve just done a dummy booking) at £4390. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.😉

“Palma: Love this port. Did a train trip from Sollar. Loved it but the walk down to the Sollar port was a major hike on cobblestones and narrow streets with cars rushing by. Worth it but you need to be ready to walk more than they inferred in the“ Hi Den Just for info maybe for others doing the trip in future.. You must have missed the tram that goes down the hill from Soller to Port Soller. No need to walk down.

Hi The one I was looking at was £610 pppn for a bog standard IV balcony. Luxury cruise line pricing by a mainstream cruise line. Celebrity just doesn’t deliver the product any more to justify those prices IMO.

Hi Thanks for your advice. Thats exactly what I aim to do…..don’t spend with them that is.

Hi The prices are out for Apex sailings 2024 from Southampton. Heres an example of a 13 nt to the Med in the cheapest IV balcony. I don’t think so!! As we say over here ‘They are avin a lard’.

Tried yesterday to book a cruise,,,no option to book DP. The only option was to pre-pay tips. Tried again today still the same. Im in the UK.

Hi One person can upgrade,,,,,my wife only drinks Prosecco so she stays on Classic. I like to try all whiskeys so I upgrade.

Hi Yes it covers drinks in the Glass House,,,if the price is less than £6.95. The large glass of house wine (250ml) is £9. The DP only covers spirits in single measures,,,but they are branded.
