Are Millennial and Gen Z abandoning Celebrity?
BobbM81 replied to mcatmcat's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I’m a millennial that loves Celebrity. For me, the ships are nice and there aren’t a lot of small children running around. We took our last RC cruise in 2020 -
They sent me an offer of $2250 pp for the Horizon suite. Tempting, but I declined

Is Cruise Only plus WiFi and drink sale the best way now?
BobbM81 replied to zitsky's topic in Celebrity Cruises
This is what I did for an upcoming Equinox cruise. I ended up paying less to book cruise only and add premium drinks and premium WiFi than it was to book the all included (classic drink and basic WiFi). This was during the Black Friday savings. -
Favorite Lounge on Edge for Pre-Dinner Drink
BobbM81 replied to ScottC4746's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I love the martini bar area. There are multiple floors where you can see the action, but I prefer the bar level. The Edge/Apex bar is smaller than Beyond/Ascent, but it felt like similar seating away from the bar. -
Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge
BobbM81 replied to TrueCruiseaholic's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I really like the Las Alturas and I’ll pay $9.60 when I want a glass. I hope it’s available on our Equinox cruise in less than a month -
I always wrap my card in cash and use a binder clip to secure it. Tip money and clip is always available

Celebrity Mediterranean Ships - Cider Question
BobbM81 replied to gavman99's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Strongbow shows $11 in the app for my upcoming Med cruise. That would put it in the premium package or a very small up charge from classic. -
I know some TAs don’t participate in the move up program. I thought it was limited to purchasing through a big box store vacation.

Equinox or Constellation for a Med cruise?
BobbM81 replied to TwinMamainMN's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I’m going on that Equinox cruise this June. We chose it because we’ve been to Italy but never to the riviera. I would choose whatever ports you’re more interested in. I will say Croatia is one of my favorite countries and cruising along the Adriatic would be an amazing time. -
My daughter has never liked the sofa bed. Her favorite part is when I wake up before 6 and she can sleep with Mom for a couple hours. We are typically in a Sky Suite and it doesn’t matter. It would be difficult for 3 adults.
-
I wouldn’t pay the corkage if you don’t plan on drinking the whole bottle. You can fill 2 glasses in your room and bring the glasses to dinner and not get charged a fee.
-
You can do both carryon and check. 4 bottles if you are with a partner. We always do premium so there isn’t a corkage at dinner. However, just a pour a big glass and take to dinner if you don’t have a package

Please tell me about the running track on Beyond
BobbM81 replied to jajsmom's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It’s a continuous loop and 5 laps = a mile. People are mostly good about keeping to the right when walking but there are some times where people stop on the track to take a pic. I love the track and it’s a daily use for me when on the E class ships. -
Celebrity Equinox cruise review (1/27-2/5/24 Sailing)
BobbM81 replied to carrfan76's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Amazon has a watch/phone split charger we use for all travel. I agree the outlets on the Equinox are an issue but those do help. Add a USB splitter to charge the 2 iPads -
If you put one in your carryon and one in your checked bag, a couple can bring 4 bottles. That’s what we’ll do when we board in Rome with some nice Italian reds. I think the cork fee is $25 but I’ve never not had the premium package.

To those currently cruising ... re: Premium package wine by the glass

I can only speak to Apple but I can’t see how an android device would have an issue. I know Android’s can cast
-
There was a cast option on our Beyond cruise in March. It took about 5 minutes of lagging before it would load but worked great.

Porthole veranda balcony cabin on Beyond/Ascent
BobbM81 replied to anskt's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Lots of info and pics of that room in this thread https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2974383-live-with-georgia-peaches-on-the-brand-new-ascentb2b-november-22-29-pre-pre-maiden-voyage/#comments -
It’s not always a bad thing. I had a sky suite on the Apex that was apparently overbooked and they offered a Royal Suite on the Edge if I would switch. Free of charge.
