Ahhh...ok...sounds feasible...thanks both

Just checking out the MDR menu for our upcoming cruise in May on Connie...and for day 13 there is no menu just a large printed "VENUE CLOSED" anyone seen tthis before?

The basic Internet included for us last week was fine for browsing.. checking emails...WhatsApp messaging. Couldn't send or receive WhatsApp photos...or Snapchat photos to/from my girls...but was able to send and receive photos by facebook messenger and i-message. I certainly wouldnt bother paying for faster internet personally.

We too are just back from this cruise and can only echo everything the OP said about the ship. We were lucky enough to be in a SV and the balcony was huge. Fortunately we got this when the cruise was first released and paid a very good price...still not convinced about going in an IV having seen them from the outside but maybe they'd be ok going by this topic. Service on board was by far the best we've received in our 6 celebrity cruises so far...never had to wait longer than a minute or 2 for waiter service and didn't queue once in any of the 4 MDRs at around 8.30. Gobsmacked by the amount of seating areas dotted around and couldn't believe how unused the sunset bar seemed to be as this was a brillaint area. Favourite place was rooftop garden where we spent a lot of time watching the world cup...again...constant waiter service up there..only used ocean view at breakfast and lunch but food was brilliant. Im definately in love with this ship and not sure now how I'll feel when boarding Constellation for the 1st time on our next cruise. Eden is also something else...but did feel like a lot of wasted seats on the upper levels as we very rarely saw anyone sat up there apart from watching the shows late at night...sad to be home .

Currently on beyond and can confirm no fixed dining..we had booked late fixed but in our stateroom was a card inviting us to a specific MDR at between 5.30 and 6.15 or alternatively visit any other MDR at any time. We have attended all 4 around 8.30 so far and have not had to wait behind anyone when we got there.

The only difference I've noted when pricing up FBC for our med cruise next May is that transfers are no longer included so the savings on flight costs are eaten up by transfer costs

We paid £2,394 in total for AI in a SV on 4TH Dec 2022 sailing which I'm now realising was an absolute bargain 😊

I Don't think you can't book mdr because it's too early...our sailing isn't until May 2023 and I've been able to book all our nights.

US site ???

welcome to the UK way of life ....

Can you enter the details online and see what the price is with the discount or do you have to ring celebrity?

we have a FV booked for an Alaska cruise in May but just noticed our xpress pass has this on it.. is this to do with priority embarkation when in a FV or what does it mean?
