My plan is going to be to ask for the pasta or veggie entree as an appetizer to remedy the no appetizer situation. Also, OP thanks for the pics and review.

$15 per day for premium is the cheapest I’ve seen it

Sometimes the single device plan is cheaper even x2 than the two device plan. So it just depends.

Yes I’m aware of that resource. I know Google is not barren, just saying I know content creators read these boards and if they are making videos on their cruise experience regardless some content on ports of call would be helpful. It’s also nice to see a visual, have someone explain their experience as well, which is why travel content is so popular on YouTube to begin with. Ot doesn’t have to be a guide book, just as simple as which of these 20 ports in Norway or Spain are the best would be a starting point lol. As far as Tom, if all his existing content has vanished then I’d think it was more he sold it than something happened to him.

Yeah I wonder how far south they could get round trip from Florida in around 14 days, if they could get to Brazil in that would be fantastic. I also would like trans pacific to Japan, those are very infrequent. Norwegian has some interesting itineraries, I liked one that was transatlantic from NY that went to Halifax and St. John’s and then down to the Mediterranean. As an aside, anyone notice the Celebrity sailings are starting to cut out ports? The exact same 13 night transatlantic on E class leaving Barcelona this year has 6 stops including 2 Spain and Nassau, next year only 1 Spain and no Nassau (both still do Gilbraltar, Azores, Bermuda). So essentially the exact cruise on the same ship is 4 ports instead of 6. Does this really save them money?

I’d like to suggest to the content creators who put up thousands of YouTube videos to make videos covering ports because it’s a big blind spot when it comes to cruise content. Some of us still cruise for the destination lol. Especially those areas where there’s a ton of different stops and itineraries would be helpful (Norway, Med, Spain especially) to have an idea of what’s best. Also which ports are dock right in city, free shuttle or pay shuttle. I know there’s Google but if someone is going to make the 500th video on a cruise ship review maybe some port content would be nice lol

In the app just click on drinks, the first tab that comes up is “upgrades” and it’s right there.

Just curious for E class which of the MDRs is the lunch held?

The reason why the menus show only dessert or in some cases kids menu is because the old menu has been deleted and will be added closer to your cruise, sometimes it posts below the desserts so be sure to scroll down. It is not a glitch.

Ok, thank you. I will make sure we receive our coupon for it.

It looks like E3 is partially obstructed

I did this excursion with Princess a few years ago, I didn’t know what I was in for. We didn’t get on the ferry until about 12:30pm (tour started around 9am, we drove around for a bit) and the tour guide told us that he’d pick us up around 5pm once we cleared the canal. Problem is sail away from Colon was 5pm. Oh not to worry he told us the cruise line was aware of this. Ok fabulous, would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Yes they did wait for us and we got back at 6:30pm to sail away around 7pm but I was not comfortable with this at all. What if the bus broke down? How much more wiggle room was left? Anyway the ferry was long, hot, cramped and ultimately not worth it imo. Going through the locks is interesting and all but not for nearly 5 hours of it. On a previous trip to the canal I found it much more interesting to stand and watch the ships go through the locks. Bathroom was fine. There’s no building to wait for the ferry, the bus doesn’t drop you off until it’s ready, it was just a dirt road and a grassy area. In my experience anyway. Not my favorite excursion but I time out right at 4 hours on most excursions so your experience might differ but it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had.

I’d it’s that significant and you haven’t made the final payment is it worth it to completely cancel and create a new booking using the Exciting Deals offer?

Or give away free warm cookies at the gelato counter would certainly increase gelato sales. It’s an underutilized space, anything to draw people there and give them incentive to pay up for a $6+ cup of gelato is real marketing.

Anything about laundry still irritates me that I was told on the Equinox over New Years that there was no such thing as a bag of laundry or the laundry challenge and that laundry could only be done a la carte so I don’t exactly trust what the situation is going to be on every ship moving forward. I have pre purchased a $39 bag from the flash sale and hopefully this is honored without much fuss. What do you do, write already paid on the item list?

Celebrity is not strict about dining times. I have seen people with a reservation wait in a longer line to get served than people who don’t have one. If a reservation gives you peace of mind then make one but I have never seen a need for them. So if you have anytime dining there is nothing to worry about, if you go when they are slammed there might be a little bit of a wait but that’s the worst that will happen.

I would caution against taking much of what a phone rep says seriously about how things work on the ship. They’ve been proven to be very unreliable.

They will deliver a plate of what to you later? I’ve never heard of that, or are you a suite guest?

Thank you and appreciate your detailed review!

Sorry for the bump but I found your review and have a couple questions as I’m doing the sailing in reverse soon. I have read very little about the passport collecting in Tahiti. How is this done? How do they ensure safety of these important documents? How do they get returned to you? We are booked for the same Raiatea excursion. It’s marked strenuous, I can’t imagine there was anything strenuous about this excursion, no? Is there shopping at the pearl farm? What are the prices if so? Can you buy just one pearl? is there anything at the Moorea pier? Any shopping at all? I’d prefer not to have to “walk into town” for just a basic souvineer. Did the menus repeat over the 18 nights for dinner?

There’s a special offers tab in your app under the dining section. There you can see what the ship generally offers but for your particular sailing you’ll have to wait until the real menus and activities load is how I understand it. Every ship is a bit different and some offer the one off things and some don’t.

I booked the $2.99 upgrade a few hours ago. I thought $4.99 a month ago was a great deal. I’m learning it pretty much is worth it to check every sale, some pricing is nonsense and some in a good way.

There are threads on here that explain that if the cruise is already paid for two and the second person just never shows up nothing happens to the single person on the cruise.

I can’t imagine paying the per day price to get premium would outweigh just buying whatever non-included sodas a la carte would be if one isn’t interested in drinking upgraded alcohol.

It’s for a cruise on Oct 1 which might be why it’s so cheap. I booked All Included yes, so this is the price on top of my included basic. I think premium wifi outright is $14.99 currently. I have never had celebrity’s basic and was going to check it out first on the upcoming sailing but at $2.99 I’m taking that deal now. Premium works well for me, I can basically use the internet like I do normally at home, watch shows and I like to stream a few hockey games which I was successful in doing.
