Last week, we walked off with our luggage at Port Everglades and took a shared van to FLL for $11/person. Took less than 10 minutes to fill and leave. The taxi line appeared quite long,

In that case, it sounds like I dodged a bullet. It does sound like a rip off considering the actual promotional amount added on probably wasn't a whole lot. Thanks for the info.

On our Edge cruise in November, we had the option to pre-purchase casino cash and Deal or No Deal cards at a slight discount. For our upcoming Equinox cruise, we've got a chunk of OBC to spend but have never seen it offered. When I go to the casino page it says "Amazing experiences coming soon. Please check back later to see what's available for your cruise". It's been saying this for months and we leave next week. Have they stopped doing this on all sailings?

I've done this twice with my teen to the Caribbean, once onboard Celebrity Eclipse and another time on MSC Divina. He preferred Celebrity. When we boarded, we found the basketball court which is next to the teen club on deck 15 and within a short time, he had made a few friends. There were fewer than a dozen teens on board and they all seemed to enjoy just hanging out together in the teen lounge, playing basketball, ping pong, etc and video games. This was during March spring break (pre-covid) and before the App was available which will now make it much easier to keep track of each other. The number of teens onboard is usually lower than on other lines but my son preferred that. Probably his worst cruise experience wrt to meeting other kids was in Europe and it was because none of the other teens spoke English. He felt out of place so just stopped going to the teen lounge.

Celebrity does have a section called Bon Voyage Gifts where you can order items such as wine, bottles of alcohol with mixers, flowers, cakes, various platters, strawberries, etc to be delivered when you board or anytime at all for that matter. Unfortunately no water or beer though. I have always found this section a little difficult to find on their website but it is there.
