This is such an interesting thread, we’ve just returned from our first X cruise and we loved it, we also loved sailing from Southampton which means no sitting in airports for hours followed by hours on a plane, so now we’re hooked, but looking at 2024 from Southampton doesn’t give us too many options of cruise lines and I’m not convinced by the IV on the Apex (plus the ££££) so I think it may have to be Princess next for us as we can’t afford MSC YC

Hello everyone, me again from the Silhouette (last day, sadly) I can confirm there are definitely cookies in Cafe Al Bacio and there is no charge, there is also still a coffee machine in the Hideaway x

Good morning everyone, sorry for the delay in answering, yes it was in the MDR x

Currently on the Silhouette and the Blue Cheese Soufflé was offered tonight and very nice it was too x

We are on the current Silhouette sailing from Southampton to the Fjords, we’re first time X cruisers and I was a little worried before we sailed having read about cut backs etc, now as I haven’t sailed on them before I can’t comment on previous MDR experiences, but we’ve just been there for our second evening and the food we’ve had both evenings was fine and up to what we expected, the staff as previously mentioned are exceptional all of them, yes the choice is limited but we certainly haven’t felt the necessity to book an up charge restaurant, we may try the OVC one evening we might not, the roast lamb tonight was delicious, we’re having a fabulous time

Hello everyone, we’re now less than 48 hours to our sailing and all our Move up bids are still pending, I’m assuming we haven’t won but when do they usually say expired?

We sail in 11 days, our cruise appears to be sold out too, all our bids are still saying pending, how did you know yours was frozen? I’m not very hopeful really x

This is a bit concerning, do they do this often? what happens if nobody takes the offer does somebody get bumped? our upcoming cruise has vanished off the X website after weeks of saying either sold out or just odd cabins available, this makes me very nervous!!

Thank you both, that’s reassuring, I’ve been reading posts about huge queues and waits to be seated, hopefully we’ll be ok x

We’re on Silhouette in August and have 6pm dining, do we just rock up then or do we still need to make a reservation on the App? sorry if this is a silly question, first time X cruisers

Thebutlerdidit, we currently have a V2 Veranda cabin on deck 7, no news as yet regarding our bids, I was just reading the email confirmation of the bid and noticed it mentioned Infinite Veranda, hence the question x

I’ve previously asked about the Move up process for our upcoming cruise, I’ve now made some bids, the confirmation for our Aqua Class bid describes it as having an Infinite veranda, I didn’t think the Silhouette had those, any thoughts?

Mark K, maybe, but the wording is ambiguous at best!! especially with another button to press that actually says Bid

D.B. Yes, except it doesn’t work and X tell me you can’t pay to upgrade after you’ve paid in full!! Hence me asking why on earth send the email!!

You can’t see it very well on the email I’ve posted, but under each category it says Upgrade Now, there was a separate button earlier on in the email that said Bid for an upgrade now, it certainly makes it seem they are 2 different things?

Important Information Celebrity Cruises is not obliged to accept any offer regardless of offer amount or stateroom availability. Availability of upgrades is limited and is made at the sole discretion of Celebrity Cruises. Offers are made on a per-person basis, and based on double occupancy. Only the first and second passenger on the reservation will be charged if an upgrade offer is accepted. Single occupancy guests will pay 200% (double) the chosen bid amount. If we accept your offer, the upgrade amount paid is final and refundable only in limited circumstances. The upgrade does not effect existing promotions on the reservation. Guests will keep the same amenities they have on their current booking. Celebrity Cruises cannot guarantee a specific cabin number assignment within the upgraded category. Your cabin number will depend on space availability and cannot be changed. Successful bids will be upgraded to a standard or Accessible stateroom in their selected Stateroom category, subject to availability. Upgraded staterooms cannot be exchanged once the upgrade is complete and the upgraded stateroom has been allocated. Captains Club Loyalty scheme points will be based on the stateroom category at time of booking, not the upgraded stateroom.

Good afternoon all, can anyone help me, not sure if this question has been asked before, but I can’t find the answer, we’ve PIF our cruise sails August 18th, last week we received an email from X offering two things, bid for an upgrade or pay to upgrade now, the latter wouldn’t work, so I’ve emailed X to ask why, the reply is once you’ve paid you can’t upgrade you can only use the bidding process, this is our first X cruise, but surely that’s not correct? and if it is why include it in the email?

Wonderful photos, we’re currently considering this cruise in May or June 2023, would you recommend the cabin you chose? did the angle give you a bigger balcony? how were the seas for you, calm or not?
