Yes 2025. 2024 we're doing Barcelona to Southampton then spending a week in London. Then we're going to Hawaii for 2 weeks in November. We're doing a Celebrity TA this November. Working hard to maintain my status with Delta.

Don't tell my husband but I booked us on the Sky TA in November. 10 sea days. It'll be heaven. I'll inform him at a later date.

I'm going in 2 weeks on the CB and expect it to be packed. I have no plans to get off the ship as I've been to these ports many times. On port days I plan to have breakfast in my cabin, go to the fitness center and be at the pool late morning. I like to get up early also. I don't know if I'll go to the MDR, if I do it'll be later. I'm debating what time to get to the ship as I really really like the shrimp avocado salad that is only served that day. Since it's a VIP casino cruise and I have a lot of OBC, I imagine I'll be in the casino on sea days. I'm cruising solo for the first time so I'm looking forward to doing what I want to do when I want to do it.

Yes if you're in a suite. Otherwise not before 6-6:30 and no telling when it will come in that 30 minutes,

No to the lounge. Only on Royal class. Yes to 2 bottles of water each day.

Hello @LACruiser88! Hope you're doing great. Doing my first solo next month, looking forward to it.

I don't know 100% but I've only ever seen teak furniture in a full suite

I find the website to be fine. A heckuva lot easier than Celebrity. To find your bookings all you have to do is go to booked guests and then access your personalizer.. everything you need is there

for my big expensive cruises I use a TA. For shorter cruises, I book online as I get them either discounted or free from the casino. I haven't used a PVP since my awesome one got promoted and no one has filled his shoes.

There must have been a lot of turnover on the Sapphire when it went into drydock. I got off an 18 day cruise last month on her and it was one of the best cruises ever. Sorry to hear yours wasn't that way. I've been reading horror stories about Vancouver. Doing a RT there in September, hope they get their act together.

I had it last month on the Sapphire in the MDR and did not see it on either specialty menu. In fact, on the new menu, it is offered as a main course now instead of an appetizer. But you can still order it as an appetizer or order 2!

No, he can take advantage of my benefits mostly but he has to earn it like everyone else. One more cruise and then he'll join me.

Usually sea days. If you start with 2, it could be either of those days. Usually the 2nd to last day also unless the day before that is a sea day. You'd have to show your itinerary for anyone to say definitively.

My husband goes with me. Same cabin though

I've been in 2 slot tournaments since the restart. My son won $2500 on the Enchanted last October.

I've never done 4 in a mini but in my early days, we did 3 in a interior. Shower schedules!

I've done 8 cruises since the pause. Some have been wonderful in all regards...Sapphire, Discovery...and some not so much.. Royal. Still enjoyed them all.

Carry on luggage will fit thru the security scanners, a full size suitcase will not. That's why people don't do it.

I don't know. I never specify anything. But, except for tomatoes and sushi, I'll eat most anything.

I do it every cruise. Next month I'm traveling solo and will still do it. I'm taking baggies so I can save the leftovers and put in my fridge.

I've done 8 cruises in the past year. On only 1 was there staffing issues. Everything else was great.

I've been in the mini's next to them. They are significantly windier than the ones between them. Would I book one? I would. But see the caveats from Cobber76 especially on motion,

Usable but slow last December

I usually book thru the airline because it's cheaper unless it's a multi city. Plus I get more miles.

No, the drink prices had gone up. Specialty drinks such as the Dirty Banana had gone up since my cruise at the beginning of February. We did end up paying the difference on some drinks but mostly it was fine.
