I love some of those breads but not others. Really love marble rye but have not seen it on Celebrity. Not sure what's in it. I assume whole wheat. Brown bread is what they call it. It's really quite delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdresser Posted September 11, 2021 #102 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I hope you are savoring your last night in the villa. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. For me especially it has brought back memories of my magical vacation in the Edge villa in 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted September 11, 2021 Author #105 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Upon leaving this morning (Retreat guests rendezvous at / in Fine Cut) one passenger said he heard there were only 600 passengers boarding today ( we heard 800 from staff a couple days ago). We docked at 7 am and were cleared to disembark at 7:17. Retreat guests are the first to leave, noticeably absent this time was Capt. Kate saying her goodbyes at the gangway. These 600 guests are going to have the time of their life being catered to by 1100 crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry about the negative stuff posted, you have clearly worked hard and you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor. I hope next time you can stay in the iconic suite and share your entire journey with us!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcpc Posted September 12, 2021 #114 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I was also on last week’s sailing and agree with OP - it was a perfect cruise. We were fortunate to be in a Penthouse Suite and everything was flawless. Cruise was so good that we decided on Thursday to stay onboard an additional week and am currently still onboard with a little over 800 passengers. Perfection everywhere I look.

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted September 12, 2021 Author #119 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Here is something interesting. Just got our move up offer today to the Penthouse or Iconic Suites. Found that one can really overbid these things, bidding much more than the original price of these cabins. We called Celebrity to check if these cabins were opened. No they are booked, but the bidding is in case there is a cancellation. So we put in one "fair" bid on the Iconic and just a "weak" bid on the Penthouse. The "weak" bid on the Penthouse is just $500 lower than the advertised original price....No matter. It piqued our interest on a future 'look see' when we get on board for the Future Cruise Desk and extra OBC if booked on board. Before we pressed the 'submit button', the last line in fine print said this bid is not subject to additional perks. Immediately got back on the phone to Celebrity to make sure that IF one of our bids is accepted we still get the original perks of drink package, wifi, etc.. that we presently have with our booked RS. The Celebrity rep laughed and said yes we still get all the perks that we are supposed to get in the booked RS, just not anything additional. Whew! We pressed submit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched a few videos of the Iconic, all I can say is amazing, farthest forward cabins are always our preference. Good luck with the bid(s)!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who are not aware, if you win a bid for a higher category suite or cabin than the one you were originally booked in, you will only receive the number of CC points associated with your original booking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted September 12, 2021 #124 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hope to get a move up offer on our cruise. Tried for a price reduction on 3 cruises under the 20% off and our fares are all lower than the rate now, even with 20% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
