Just noticed a price drop too in our aqua class stateroom. I’ve just asked my Celebrity rep. I will update soon.

Yes, that’s the position. Phone Celebrity and they’ll upgrade you using your OBC

I’m in a similar position. Only last month they had a really cheap upgrade offer from basic to premium wifi but it’s now gone. I phoned Celebrity and managed to score another $100 of OBC to make up for the offer being removed. It’s a similar story re the 3 night meal package. I also looked at them but they disappeared from the planner quite quickly. Maybe they’ve been maxed out by demand. However, the restaurant staff are always seen going about the ship offering specialty meal packages, especially during embarkation days. I would try once you get on board the ship. See what they’ll offer you. For what’s it worth, Silhouette is one of our favourite Celebrity ships.

I would suggest waiting until you’re on the ship as it will give you time to experience the offerings of the classic package. It’s not as bad as you may think. Decent beer, wine and Prosecco. If you have OBC you can simply use that to pay for the higher priced drinks as opposed to paying the full upgrade fee. You only pay the difference between the $10 limit on the classic package to whatever premium drink you’re after. However, If you’re into cocktails then the £18 a day might be the better option as they can be quite expensive. The cost we were quoted is £111pp to upgrade from the classic package. I have $300 OBC for our next Edge cruise in August and I’ve used some of that to upgrade to the premium wifi as it’s much better. On Edge last year the basic wifi was shocking - we couldn’t even send images on WhatsApp.

Just noticed this. Have you worked something out ? If not, have a look at the trains as they are so reliable (and usually on time) in Italy. Look at Omio for your trains between Venice and Ravenna. They are via Bologna and are very reasonably priced. You will need to get a taxi from the train station in Ravenna to the port.
