Kathleen, please report back on the outcome, .... following as we may have same scenario.

We have always booked verandah class and upgraded to concierge class because the price has always dropped in price below what we paid,so we upgrade and save $$. You have to watch the prices.

Not sure when the last time was you were there but we stayed there in April this year. The breakfast was really good in the newly renovated part of the hotel. Bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes, waffles, toast bagels, fruit cereal... not sure what else you would want. Our room was great, crosswalk right in front of the hotel takes you over to several restaurants, shopping. Also, total wines, Publix right behind. We have already booked it for next April.

Following this thread as well. We are looking for a good beach to snorkel from preferably the southern route.

I have not been able to find in my personalizes where to but onboard credit?

I have looked at this hotel for April and it is very expensive.

Does the royal palms charge to get in? Can you get a chair?

You should be able to unless it’s just a few days before...or..if you are booked with a travel agent you will have to do thru them. If booked with Celebrity and can’t find it just call them.

Thank you for posting your experience.

Does Celebrity ever have a reduced deposit sale?

It just doesn’t make sense to me that if our friends want to sail with us they now have to pay over 2000$ more than we paid for a cabin beside us. This will likely be our last with X unless the prices change.

I did price one today with and without perks. If you take prepaid grat as a perk that was over $200 and then we like the drink package so that is a steal at $160 - diff in price is $360 pp plus full deposit is refundable.

My husband would always take my cruise card with him to get me a coffee in the mornings... we have a drink pkg

If you have the package.... are gratuities included or will they be charged to the onboard account?

I will see if the bucket chair is still there in April on Crown.
