  1. I have OV GTV , balcony GTY was cheaper, my only option was to move to balcony selecting the room but it was 700$. I’m happy with my OV but a little upset on their practice.
  2. Well after talking to the resolution department they were not able to change my stateroom to a balcony. I had ocean view, I wanted to move to to balcony guarantee but according to them the sale price was for new costumer only. I never had this issue before with royal I guess celebrity as their own rules.
  3. Hi everyone quick question I have an oceanview room guarantee, sailing in a month and I found out that a veranda guarantee is cheaper than what I paid I called to get the update and they told me that the room is for new customers only Is that a new rule? I think that we can always move up after final payment
  4. Hi I was told by a friend now there is a 30 mins rules between drinks I have never hear about that but I’m sure I will find the answer in this forum. Thanks
  5. Maybe prices are affecting those booking balcony and above. To be honest I see almost the same price for interior and ocean view. Left royal bc the food was bad at the beginning of 2023 and I’m happy with X. I don’t see myself in princess or holland, x is a little bit boring for us imagine if I were onboard holland
  6. Since I like to be seated in a table of two, I might sneak in pretending to be looking for my friend but instead I will try to find a water that seen fast and know what he/she is doing and request him for the whole week. maybe it is coincidence. But waiter that see you every day same table n time connect much better than those in my time.
  7. I’m not upset at all lol love royal and close to diamond plus but for some crazy reason X is cheaper compared to Royal for 2024 and 23. My gf and I jumped to X and we loved and they now sail to Coca cay so why go back to royal ( at least for now). I also book interior and no matter how I change itinerary or month of sailing X is cheaper.
  8. Right now the zero proof drink package is 10% but I was wondering if it a good sale or wait for a better one . Thanks
  9. And then , there are people that got tired of royal and now love x That’s me…
  10. Thank you, I never thought that could be possible because of how large the group is thanks
  11. Hi When a ship from royal is docked at coco cay simultaneously with celebrity. Who will be proving lunch, royal or celebrity? I love Coco cay and royal but their lunch is not that good. Thanks
  12. Hi I’m traveling with lots of friends and I was wondering if it is possible to request a table of 10 for all of us. We currently have 830pm Thanks
  13. I went to that beach last week and it was amazing. It was my first time in bimini and I didn't know what to expect there so I booked directly with the cruise. had no problem with the welcome drink or funding chairs and umbrellas. I only waited 5 mins for the tram each way. our waiter told us about a free beach next to the pier but as I said before, it was my first time in bimini. I'm going back to bimini and I just canceled the excursion not because of bad service, but because I rather stay on the free beach next to the port, The water looks amazing as well.
  14. my gf was able to get a seltzer but they will not give you a perrier which we used to get on other ships. No virgin versions of the HH drink. They show you a menu that has Coke, juices, and water. And yes the water bottle comes in plastic now.
  15. I don't do reviews, but I will tell you what I liked and didn't like about my last sailing. Equinox August 13-18/2023 I used to sail with Royal before; I am a cruise away from becoming diamond plus, but Celebrity is not allowing me to reach diamond plus. I traveled with my girlfriend, and I live in Miami. I got to the terminal around 10 am and parked my car, the airport was open, but we waited 30 mins and got on the ship at 11 am. The crew is super friendly. I went directly to my room to drop my carry-on. Ocean café was open at 11.20 pm, so I switched to X from Royal. The food at X is so good; the ocean view was delicious, MDR and Murano. We didn't like the petite chef because it took almost 2 hrs, the room was super warm, and it was a waste of time and money. I went to Sillhoute twice this year, and I believe Equinox has better food. On the other hand, I noticed that the crew was a little bit tired; if I go heard ten good mornings every day at OC while I was in the Sillhoute, I only heard three on Equinox ( I just made those numbers, but it is to give you an idea). The ship looked a little bit old on the outside, cabin, and balcony, we didn't care about that, but it is a fact. This is the first time someone steals, or I don't know how to call it, a personal item from the ocean view café. I left my Yeti water bottle on the table while we went for food, it was 3 mins max, and the bottle was gone. We asked the waiter and everyone around, and no one saw anything. We filled out a report, but we won't get it back. I noticed people leaving phones, brand handbags, and designer sunglasses on the table, but I guess I didn't run with the same luck. I usually leave my seapass and sunglass; the first time I left my Yeti water bottle, it was gone. The entertainment is fantastic; I believe they are trying to attract more young people, which I like. Cruise Directo was full of energy, and the whole staff. I couldn't find anything wrong with the ship; the food was tasty and warm, a plus for us. I only which we can get our elite drink anytime during the day, and I believe that the list for virgin drinks is minimal. Last but not least, I just booked two more cruises for 2023. I wonder if I ever will become diamond plus lol
  16. I hope the same, I can't wait till they offer virgin drinks like pina colada the non-alcoholic list is so limited in X.
  17. Hi everyone. I was watching a youtube channel and heard the guy in the video saying that even if you have assigned dining time of 8:30 pm you can walk in before that time. let's say 10 or 20 mins before 8:30 PM and you can get in the MDr without problems. I thought it was closed and you were not able to get in until your selected time.
  18. yes which is not enforced lol, at least in Miami and fort Lauderdale
  19. princes is related to Carnival right?, no thank you
  20. Coming from Royal where they prefer that we use the digital menu, I caught my celebrity waiter off guard when I told her that I was ready and I had the menu on the phone. Took another X cruise and it was the same, I also noticed that most people get paper menus which in my opinion can make the experience take longer. I was wondering what is the norm, paper or digital menu. Thanks
  21. When I was in college, I saw my first celebrity cruise like 10 years and I was like , noo noooo I saw my first royal cruise 10 years ago and I was like, I wanna get there Out of my 4 cruises for 2023, 3 were with celebrity. They are doing something good.
