    $49.95 was the price. There are different packages available and the options are available with your stateroom attendant.

    My suggestion for what it is worth. Check out the availability of cabins in the Guarantee Aqua class category. If there are plenty of cabins available, then I would probably consider going for a Guarantee. You will more than likely be able to change your assigned location. However, if there are very few available, I would choose my own location in the Veranda category.

    On the Beyond and Ascent, the first show was at 7:30 pm. 8:30 would be a better time.

    There are many cabins on Deck 11 that I would avoid. I am sensitive to noise. Would you be happy under a gym? Under an aerobics room? Not for me. I would choose a room rather than risk being under one of those areas.

    Sailed in February and must say the ship's entertainment, food and service was excellent. The Captain was outstanding and down to earth. None of the self-promoting I had on another ship. Definitely will cruise again on the Ascent. Go for it!

    If I could pick one, it would be Murano. Great food and service. Our favorite dishes are the chateaubriand for 2 and the lobster Murano. You may also want to try their lunch offering but with a limited menu. Lawn Club Grill would be my second choice. More relaxed and more like bbq food. Enjoy!

    10:45 pm by the pool on Ascent, and it was called Shine the Night.

    If you want to dine in a Specialty Restaurant, I suggest Murano. Great food and service. Nice for celebrating a special occasion. Another option would be the Lawn Club Grill with its outdoor seating. Check out the menus. A nice place to relax and to enjoy a drink is the Sky Lounge. Great views.

    The fee is $29 per person in FLL plus any baggage fees charged by the airline. You will get a paper which you complete and return to Guest Services. The fees are charged to your room and you can use your OBC.

    In addition, the odds appear to be greater that the share price will go down. Buying now could be a high risk proposition. Invest the money in a CD and use that money for OBC.

    We have gone to various MDR on the E-class. We have been treated well by staff in each dining room. I do like moving around and taking in the different themes in each restaurant.

    One option to consider is the buffet. On our Alaska cruise, we twice dined in the Oceanview after a long day on excursions. They had fresh fish cooked to order on a couple of nights which included cod, salmon and halibut. It was very quiet up there.

    As for Captain Marvin, staff is there to assist getting on and off the boat. Been on numerous trips with this company.

    For many years, you could not get this benefit as it was not combinable with certain promotions. So you have to read the fine print...

    We took a Celebrity excursion and besides being pricey, the boat was overcrowded and not a good experience. Once and done. Since then, we have booked independent tours and have been pleased time after time.

    I check in using my computer. All information did not need to be completed in order to receive a boarding time. If I recall, you will need personal information, emergency contact, passport information, and credit card number.

    It is like music to your ears like that of hearing the sound of a dental drill. The good news is that on the Ascent, play is stopped when the Rooftop Garden Grill is open.

    They have used the sports court during times of the week. That is the area on Solstice where basketball is played. Times are shared and noted in the program. It is tough to play with the winds and movement of the ship.

    When you board, there are often staff trying to sell meals at the Specialty Restaurants. On our last cruise on Ascent, there were no reservations available a month before our cruise. When we were on the ship, staff was discounting prices and there was very good nightly availability.

    We had a fantastic CVP who suddenly disappeared. I suspect he was let go. His name still appears on my invoices but when messages are left, I never get a return phone call. Then I was transferred to another individual and she has since disappeared. Now when I call, I usually get someone from Mexico or Jamaica. Some are novices and will admit it.

    No longer is it free for Zeniths, at least on Ascent.

    If you are sailing in Aqua Class, you just walk in. However, if you are purchasing a day pass, they like to know what time you will be arriving so as to avoid overcrowding. There have not been any time limits for the Persian Gardens.

    I have been asked for the physical card by the bartenders and I have observed others handing the actual card to them.

    If you are thinking of dining at a specialty restaurant, book asap before you board. At that time of year, the prime spots will quickly be reserved. And about a month before your cruise, there may not be anything available. It is my opinion that the cabanas at Coco Cay are overpriced. Plenty to do there without incurring those expenses.

    I was told that the issue was similar to that with some models of automobiles. With the increased use of plastic, some car models experience a cracking sound coming from the dashboard area. When maintenance went into the walls, it was noted that there was an increase in plastic components. It was known by Guest Services on the Beyond that there was a problem in a number of rooms.
