Need to add that this was after I disputed the charge with AMEX and they immediately gave me a credit.

I received a full refund back to my credit card last week for my cancelled April 5th cruise.

My full refund went back on my card today. Still have not heard from Celebrity. I was thinking of letting it that card go, but I will probably pay one more year of the annual AMEX fee because it was so easy.

I opened a dispute online today with AMEX after not hearing or receiving anything from Celebrity. I described the problem, uploaded Celebrity's cancellation email and they credited my account in full in about 30 seconds. From the grain of salt department, it has not hit my AMEX account yet, but I believe it will. I will keep you posted.

I would go two cruises especially one to Alaska. CC and CS are both nice.

I too have applied for a refund. I have no idea when it will arrive and Celebrity has been silent on the subject. I had to pay my AMEX bill in full as it came due and am waiting to see my $6,500 credit hit and put me at a credit balance. I may have to see what AMEX can do, but I do not think it is disputable at this point. I will try to keep you all posted

Ouch, I did not know the water park cabanas shot up to that. I knew the Over the Water ones were high, but glad I got it when I did. No way I would pay that now.

We were there in September and purchased a cabana in the water park. Water park tickets were $99/each for five of us and the cabana was $599 so for essentially $100 more we had the park passes and the cabana. We had a great time. I do not think I would do it again unless I brought different nieces and nephews, but sure glad we did it once. Yes the price is ridiculous, but nobody made me buy it 🙂

Thank you for the info, ouch on the price. Sounds like it is worth a shot.

Frank, let me know how the Yacht Club is. I have heard good things about it, but your experience will be helpful. We booked the sky suite on Edge in April so we'll see how that goes.

Thanks George. I appreciate the info. Have you tried one on the Edge?

No trouble, glad to help. Hopefully someone who has done a Private Journey will chime in.

Royal does have a Private Journeys program that is available to anyone willing to pay for it, but as far as setting up an excursion not officially available via Royal, I doubt the Genie would do that. We never asked our Genies so I cannot say for certain, but I am sure they can help with the Private Journeys program.

Star is great, but they have raised the prices to beyond the value for me. We do enjoy the Crown Lofts and are debating one vs. a Sky Suite on the Celebrity Edge in the next couple of months. You will really enjoy the CL.

If you are going to spend the money, check on a Crown Loft. You can get 2 adults and 2 kids pretty easily and 4 adults if they are close :).
