Have a very Happy Birthday Charla!!!! A birthday Bourbon and Peaches is in order! 🎉🎁🎁🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🥃🥃🥃 mac_tlc

Following along!!! We are on the 8/16 sailing. mac_tlc

Yes @Georgia_Peaches and @lola2013 Come join us! mac_tlc

Following along! Have a great cruise. We did Beyond to the AC (no B) islands in February and loved it. Give the three production shows a chance -- they are really good, especially with that marvel of a stage they have. mac_tlc

Agree that there should be. Right now, the first unpinned question is on Page 3 of the thread. mac_tlc

The mods are "pinning" the threads that have been answered. If there is no "pin" symbol at the beginning of the thread title, it has not been answered yet. mac_tlc

Interesting mention of Disney ... and cruises ... and Japan in one sentence. I was just discussing with my DW a Spring trip to Tokyo Disneyland next spring followed up with a 16 day cruise to Vancouver !! Might be our first Silver Sea experience. Charla, great TR -- hope you enjoy (enjoyed?) Rooftop Grill. We finally did in on Ascent in January and liked it a lot. Even went back for lunch. mac_tlc

Does seem pointless given that situation. Their GoGreen program is not an extra point, it’s an extra nights worth of points based on cabin. Balcony would get 3, Sky Suite 8, etc. Since we are E +, we need all the help we can get! mac_tlc

Similar post on the Celebrity board about a similar offer for an Alaskan cruise on 7/26. Must be an overbooked summer at RCG. mac_tlc

Really enjoying your TR! I'm not a big seafood fan but I love the crab cake at Eden ! And Bourbon and Peaches ! And Nachi Cocum ! And ....... boy it seems like more than 4 months since I have been on a ship......... mac_tlc

Every single forum on this site has similar issues. As we have began investigating “Beyond” X and Royal, we notice that every single line we research has similar complaints. HAL, NCL, Princess, O, Silversea, Viking, Regent, MSC. Most of the discussion centers on the “it ain’t what it used to be” complaint. As someone looking at a number of cruise lines for the first time, “what it used to be” is irrelevant. “What it is” is all that matters. So for us, it looks like 2025 will be the year of new cruise lines. Have booked HAL and O, and very close to booking SIlversea and MSC. All of these will be “first times” for us. Then we will be able to compare a bunch of lines for what they are now, not what they used to be. mac_tlc

Back? So soon? 😂😂😂. Happy Birthday and hope the two of you have a wonderful time! As always, I’m following along. Beyond is our favorite X ship also. mac_tlc

We came sooooo close to experiencing the Concorde. We went to the Oshkosh air show in 2000 and were slated to take a short ride on it. Back then, it came to the show. Unfortunately, that was the year of the accident and the BA Concorde did not go to the show. mac_tlc

We are also in CT, so ending up in NJ is convenient. May rent a car one-way to get home, maybe fly to FL. from Newark and do a park/fly and have the car there. mac_tlc

We did Aruba and Curacao on the Beyond in February. Loved both stops. We then booked the Silhouette for April 2026, 8 nights to ABC islands. Now we are contemplating a reposition on the Silhouette in April 2025 -- 10 nights from Ft. Lauderdale to Cape Liberty. Only stops are the ABC islands. Very attractive pricing for non-suites. Under $100 pppd for a Prime Veranda, with no perks. mac_tlc

Boy, I am eyeing that SS cruise as our first foray into Silversea. Struggling with the long expensive flight to Tokyo, though. maybe….. mac_tlc

To me, the real question is why didn't the cruise fare go down by the amount of the gratuities when Celebrity took them out of AI. It's easy enough to add them in before final payment. mac_tlc

In my DW’s case, she can walk a few steps and can do any stairs into/out of the tenders. We fold up the wheelchair and bring it on the tender so we have it on shore. Celebrity staff usually is very helpful in getting the chair up and down the stairs. On Beyond, the Solarium pool has a lift. mac_tlc

We have been on the Beyond three times. My wife also uses a wheelchair and cannot walk very far before having to stop and sit for a bit. She has spinal stenosis. We have never had a problem with the wheelchair. The cabin hallways are wide enough —- so long as there are no trays in the hallway. We fold the wheelchair up to store it in the cabin. Eden even has an elevator to get down to the restaurant from the main level above it. You will have a great time !!! mac_tlc

Thanks ! Thankfully we also have our flights on SW with points, so no problem if we cancel. Intriguing offer. mac_tlc

You should be able to “share” the FCC across all guests. Here is a screenshot of what the TA would see as an option when they apply the FCC to the reservation. Early on in Covid days, when there were a ton of FCC’s, they were only applicable for the listed guest. Later on, can’t remember when exactly, they allowed sharing across other guests on the reservation. You should be fine. mac_tlc

What date? We are booked on the 8/16 sailing and would think long and hard about taking such an offer. Being retired, time is not as much of an issue. My daughter is a teacher so I understand those time constraints. Good luck with whatever you choose. mac_tlc

We have two SV’s on Edge next month. We will be requesting — and responding accordingly. mac_tlc

I believe I first learned of the glory that is cabin 1100 from Beachammo’s posts here. Whenever we sailed Radiance class, I tried to grab it! My condolences to the family during this very difficult time. mac_tlc

I’m following along, and undoubtedly it will trigger wonderful memories of our Fjord cruise last year. Hope you have great weather! This was our weather in Flam last year!
