  1. Holland America, NCL and Princess all have some cruises that go to both
  2. However, the OP wishes to change people and still keep their "great deal" - which is not the same as reselling it at the current rate. Wrk2cruise is correct.
  3. Glad you had good service in a trying situation. Just curious: would you have really been allowed on a plane the same day that you had just tested positive?
  4. Although it is your assigned restaurant, you can generally be seated in the MDR occasionally. Ask the M'D in Blu to assist you in getting an anytime MDR reservation. Also, the MDR menu is generally available to choose from in Blu on the Infinity.
  5. No way to know for sure. Your will get some extra OBC by booking on board; but that may or may not be a better deal that what is currently available. If you are looking for a refundable deposit fare, then just book the current fare since you can cancel it if the on board booking in August is a better deal.
  6. However, not the same thing when making reservations prior to boarding - multiple specialty package cannot be reserved prior to boarding, while anytime dining can be reserved prior to boarding.
  7. The promo says "UP TO" $200 - and that is per person. So I guess it could be less than $200 per person on a short cheap cruise
  8. From Celebrity's website: Effective November 17, 2020, with the Always Included℠ Pricing Package:Beverage package gratuities and daily gratuities for Dining Service Staff, Stateroom Attendants, and other Stateroom Service Personnel are included as part of Always Included pricing. An 18% gratuity will be added to all spa & salon purchases onboard. Presumably, other Stateroom Service Personnel includes room service delivery. Additional tips are just that - additional, as may personally be determined appropriately.
  9. Assuming 1) that the bartender is correct and 2) that your actual drink consumption (alcohol, coffee, water, etc.) adds up to more than the price of the Classic, then the bartender, coffee server, water supplier, etc. are making more with the 20% on your actual consumption than they would have if they merely shared the 20% gratuity on the Classic Package.
  10. I currently have two reservations the one with the initials, allows me to get an order history with AI The one without initials, when I click on order history, show no history and no AI info
  11. Yes, you still can. Click on Find Destinations, then click on Shore Excursions and then click on Browse Shore Excursions. Finally you can use a pull-down menu for either Destinations or Ports and select either a country or sub-region or select a port. Shore Excursions will now be shown for your selection; however, as previously noted by other posts, the excursions shown may not become available for your cruise and of course the prices shown are probably for the most recent or earliest upcoming cruises and thus your prices may be higher. Enjoy
  12. Princess and MSC appear to be the only non-premium cruise lines sailing out of Brooklyn. And Norwegian, Carnival and Disney have sailings out of Manhattan.
  13. 12210 definitely has the bed by the balcony since the widest part of the cabin is next to the balcony and also since the two adjoining cabins are by the bath since they both have convertible sofa beds ( and the bed placements alternate every other cabin.)
  14. In addition to ordering multiple entrees, you can also order multiple starters. I have occasionally ordered several starters and no entrée.
  15. There are two fare rates in Aqua Class: A1 and A2. The A1 cabins are now called Prime Aqua Class, while the A2 cabins are called simply Aqua Class. It appears that the only difference is still location - with A1s located either midship, on the stern or on a higher deck.
  16. Sorry, I saw May 27th rather than May 21st.
  17. Your cruise is currently on their website
  18. Very doubtful that Celebrity ever owned their own winery - I'm sure that they merely contracted to have their label placed on an inexpensive wine.
  19. Lounging on your bed (as in napping) in an air-conditioned cabin is always guaranteed shade - and a lot cheaper!
  20. Welcome to Cruise Critic. These types of questions are best posted on the roll call for your cruise since your tour invitation will be seen by a targeted audience - that is, your fellow passengers. Here is a link to your Roll Call:
  21. Heading East in NOV/DEC the starboard side will be on the south and sunnier. Heading West in MAY/JUN the starboard side will be on the north and shadier.
  22. Since the standard allowed is two 750 ml bottles, have you ever had your 5000 ml box confiscated?
  23. It's about a 20 minute taxi ride from the cruise port to the airport, so it is doable; but I would go for the 12 rather than 11 to be comfortable.
  24. Premium coffee and tea, non-premium bottled water. juices, soda, virgin cocktails.
  25. Yes, UK departures require gratuity to be included in the price - thus $15 * 1.20 = $18 for the Premium ceiling price. For the Classic I believe they use $9 * 1.20 = $10.80 rounded up to $11.
