Not that I'm aware. Pretty sure those are the only non E class that have a Retreat Sun Deck. I've heard some very disappointed people in Retreat Lounge when they find out the ship they are on doesn't have the Retreat amenities they thought they were getting based on the website.

Nothing to worry about. At some point cabin will be assigned. Even if they are oversold they will reach out to people to get them to change to free up inventory they need. Also they may be holding inventory back that you can't see.

In either case your deposit is $500. If you want this to be refundable up to 90 days prior to sailing then your cruise fare will be $496 higher than it would be if you accepted the non-refundable deposit option. That additional $496 is not billed until final payment date. The only time it might make sense is if you are booking way far in advance and aren't 100% sure you would take the cruise. As others have said with the non-refundable deposit, if you cancel you get nothing back you lose the $500. If however you can find another sailing you may wish to take you can move the deposit by paying a $100 pp admin fee so basically you lose $200 and apply $300 to the new sailing.

I agree it's the most comfortable in the fleet. I believe the small refresh they did to several public areas before returning the ship to service had them use the "Revolutionized" furniture in Rendezvous lounge (sofas etc) and they took the old Rendezvous barrel chairs and reupholstered them with a light cream colored fabric and use them in the MC/Retreat lounge. Combined with the grean/grey carpet and leaving the dark paneled walls made a very inviting lounge. Not sure if they changed this during April dry dock this year.

Constellation does not have a Retreat sundeck. Michaels Club is the Retreat lounge.

I don't think it's that accidental. I also like a premium Champagne and am often told it's not available then when I'm persistent a bottle is found.

I've not done it but I believe you can transfer OBC to others by going to guest relations.

There were several on the B2B Apex sailing we just returned from. They were at the lunch in Blu. I'm not sure if they were allowed lounge access or not as the the total number of Zenith + Status Match was 30.

Yes that is for book later certificates. To me these should be avoided at all costs! Just make a book now reservation with a refundable fare for some sailing way in the future if you don't have specific plans.

Were you playing the 3 pig machine right off the hallway? If so I saw you win as my wife was on the machine the other side of the pole. I was the one who congratulated you on the win.

We just returned from B2B Iceland and Norway 12 night. We had fixed dining in Cyprus every night as we wanted the same wait staff. Dinesh the head waiter in Cyprus took very good care of us for our 23 days.

I believe the AQ cabins on deck 11 which were added around 2011'ish have always had glass doors. You will still have curtains in all other rooms other than suites.

39 days on Windstar motor yachts so far this year and 14 more before the end of the year. First venture away from Celebrity since 2004. But we leave for 23 days on Apex tomorrow and have an Eclipse sailing in Oct. So like others they are forcing me to look elsewhere as well.

You may also want to look at Deluxe Porthole View with Veranda. They have an outdoor balcony space but is enclosed in the hull with a large circular opening to the outside. Generally much less than SV but also usually more available. There are some good YouTube videos to give you a perspective.

If you expect them to know your CC number by virtue of you logging into your account you are expecting too much from Celebrity IT. (Although it used to know CC# and State of Residence 5-10 years ago!). Anyway you have to enter your CC# on this screen Then it does show a Zenith discount of $490 pp, This is a 7 day sailing. The math is pretty creative as you are only getting 25% of the $490 on the second passenger due to the "discount". I've not seen a suite booking lately with the 75% off second passenger but I suspect they calculate the second passenger based on cruise fare only then add and subtract the full amenity "value" off each passenger. Same sailing with no CC#

If you enter you CC number before pricing a cruise it is supposed to give Zenith members the cruise only pricing for suites.

We will be onboard with you B2B with the following 12 Night Norway sailing. 2 itineraries we have been looking forward to since before Covid. I really need to start thinking about packing. With all the layers needed I expect I'll over pack. I'm not a fan of E class ships but have been hearing great things about Apex lately.

And non refundable. If you don't use it in 1 year you lose the $$. It can also be used for NRD fares.

I don't think it's been showing up on any of the co branded cards. It's not on my Delta Gold card.

Just off the phone with shoreside concierge where I bought the OBC. They spoke with another department and said it was some automated process which triggered the refund. In the end they took the order again and a new post to my account is pending. I'll wait a few days before I do it again on my other card with the offer.

I bought $500 in OBC a few days ago, posted to my account. Today there is a $500 credit from Celebrity but no notification of the OBC being returned. Anybody else have Celebrity credit your OBC purchase?

Pretty sure the picture of Equinox. Silhouette has the U shaped bar like Reflection if I remember correctly.

Only OBC (Non Refundable) from Celebrity shows on Cruise Planner. Any OBCR you buy shows up once onboard.

No if they were trying to charge you the change fee associated with a NRD you can point them to the T&C that state it's for a ship or sail date change only. Escalate to a supervisor or resolutions department.

Must be real small to get up the river. I used to work in Portsmouth. Lived in Portsmouth, Dover, Rochester, Farmington.
