Sounds like a lot of fun.

No WB Fall 2025 TAs on offer which makes me sad, but doing a dummy booking for the EB Spring 2025 TA on Allure was just nuts. Not happy with the prices at all. Itinerary was less than impressive, too, although they might be prepping the ship for dry dock for the crossing?

I agree with you on the half-full. It was the same on the Wonder WB TA last year, too. Just lovely.

Thanks for the clarification. I was extremely confused (not that that isn't hard to do right now as I sit on pins and needles waiting for the darn thing to open for booking).

So true! Loved those 25 hour sea days during the Wonder WB TA last year. Going to book Allure WB TA this week (if RCI would ever open it for booking 😉😊).

Hopefully they won't be too shocking. I'm so ready to book one.

I did one. 30% increase. As Argus Filch says...

We aren't sun people since we burn, so that's why we love 7388 and 7688. I've never cruised on Celebrity, but if I do this is definitely a cabin I would look for. We can hide in the shady corner if necessary ;o) Love a larger cabin for sure, especially on those longer sailings. Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me of 7388 and 7688 on Voyager class, except more exposed to the sun.

I know, right? Oh well. Only another 6 years and we're retiring and I can have as much time to cruise as I want. Now to win the lottery to finance it 🤣🤣🤣

Sad. Glad I work in law. Most of us start at 3 weeks after our 1st year and get 4 weeks after 5 years depending on the size of the firm. My current firm I get 4 weeks, 13 holidays plus 2 personal days.

I saw your numbers on our roll call. Ouch!

Why book 2025 when we're already on it next year with you? ;o)

I see Allure's EB TA (12 nights departing February 25, 2025) Allure - Short Caribbean and Eastbound TA (2025) Pre-Open Wish they were showing the WB in the fall. Have to wait. Heavy sigh....

Yikes is right! Just nuts. For the Allure TA we're looking at getting 2 regular balcony cabins, one for each of us or I will get a junior suite and my roommate will get a regular balcony. I know there are some juniors with connecting doors to a regular balcony cabin. That way she can save money for her cabin whereas we also get a bigger balcony with my junior. It will, of course, depend on the pricing. Our upcoming Panama Canal cruise will be our last one sharing the same cabin. She needs her sleep and I snore. ;o))) On Wonder we alternated sleeping on the couch in the living area. Thank God for that Owner's Suite! It was a dream.

I was able to access the Allure sailing again. Price is down a bit, but only junior suites showing and again, ouch! Nearly $5K USD for a junior suite on a 7 day sailing. Sure hope these amounts drop dramatically.

Major!

Agreed. I did appreciate that they kept the Allure pricing when they switched us to Wonder.

I was able to access the dummy cruise they briefly had open on the website for a 7 night European cruise. We’re still planning on booking the WB TA on Allure. We were supposed to be on her last year before moving us to Wonder. We booked that 2022 TA the day it opened for booking and got a great rate, too.

I will say that when we were on the Wonder TA last year on the day I did my ship tour video I was there around 6:30 a.m. and all the "special" seating in the Solarium had towels or people on them. Sheesh!

That was my thought exactly! We really want to do the Allure WB TA in 2025. Hopefully the prices are less than that for early bookers.

Ouch! Went to do a dummy booking on Allure and the prices weren't pretty.

On our last 3 cruises they have never had the bed separated when we board the ship even though I put in the request as soon as I book the cruise. We simply tell the steward that we want the bed split into separate beds and it has always been done before dinner.

Here you go! We did Wonder last year for the Fall TA. Here's the full playlist for it (you can see the separate Wonder videos after the Spain videos):

Do yourself a favor. As soon as you board the ship immediately head down to Izumi and book your UDP reservations there. The Central Park restaurants will be zoos and a lot of people don't think about going to Izumi to do it there.
