So moral of the story is...if I enjoy X...just do a few more cruises with Royal first to get to at least Diamond so I don't have to start all over with X
 
I can handle that!

OMG...this is our ongoing discussion at home.  Hubby doesn't see a need for the Genie cause he has a Home Genie...me!

I'm really fine with Sky Class! I have my own Genie, whose name is Jack! LMAO!!! A bit out of what I want to spend, maybe for my retirement cruise, will go all out!

Ummm, my daughter and wife are both redheads with the super-fair skin to match. They burn on a cloudy day after using SPF 50, so lounging by the pool is not one of their favorite activities.  

Thanks @Boston Babe !  I'm sure it was isolated.  Just spot the suite line and a make a bee line for it like you know what you're doing :) 

@JLMoran, I don't know all the legal stuff switching from one to the other, However, when I booked my last X cruise a few weeks ago, My Planner at Celebrity noticed by DOB was wrong on the C&A compared to Captains, so I know they have access to both.  If you don't use a TA I would book directly with Celebrity, they really seem to know what they're doing. 

@monctonguy I was able to get price reductions twice on my May cruise even though I booked Non-refundable. I don't actually know if it was an actual cancel and rebook, but my TA did it. I did lose $75 OBC, but due to twice reprice saved $480. I think it's worth looking into.

Matt, just saw this on your blog.  Very good deal I think! I'm planning on booking Freedom with the Non-refundable thanks to @twangster Blog from last week. Thank you for sharing!

Here you go again! Now where and when! LOL!!!  I asked my planner at "X", other than size of room and cost, nothing is different, same everything. I'm booked in Sky Suite on all 3 X Cruises, have Butler, Luminae , etc. got all 4 of the Suite perks too, so no, it's not like having Junior Suite on Rc which doesn't really get any.  

Exactly how it started for me, I started looking early this year and found a Star Class on Allure in January of 2019, so I booked it, been paying monthly ever since, figured I had over a year to pay it off.
If I go a week before or the week after the date I booked the price goes up by half, I guess I just got lucky.

That's my take and also my planners.  I have to be honest with you, I was looking at Seaside too, she looks beautiful!! I think you will love it, but I know concerns about it being more of a North American type cruise.  She does look like a beauty though! I would like the larger suite but couldn't justify unless I win the lottery! LOL

I think I generally agree.  I think the Ultimate Dining Package is perfect if you fit into one of these two categories:
You have not sampled any/few specialty restaurants and want to try them all out You dislike the main dining room to the point of not wanting to eat there at all

Enjoy.
I will probably be posting a very similar thing in 112 days and 14 hours...not that I am counting!!! 
 

Same here...... it would give us another option for those of us in the mid-Atlantic.

What specialty restaurants are on the Grandeur?  I lean towards that it might be worth it if you are on an Oasis class ship and there's lots of specialty restaurants to choose from but probably a 2-3 night package if there are not as many specialty restaurants.  That package is a lot of food....

Thanks so much! I thought the same thing. I just got excited, first time since I booked something was showing up on sale!! LOL 

Could she have been any vaguer ?  Just spit it out, hon...

I've been told that many times ?

I'm with you on that one!! Just started looking too!

Another one from me, booking Freedom from San Juan! LOL @twangster your blog and photos were awesome.  It seems you really liked this ship and your details make it even better to get to know the ship. A Huge thank you!!!

@twangster RC should pay you commission! After looking at these pics for the last few days, and having never sailed Freedom class myself, I just booked a cruise on Indy! Figured it would be very similar since they are sister ships and Indy will have the slides and trampoline park by the time we sail her. I have to say, your pics had a lot to do with the decision making! Thanks! Even my husband who never knows the where, what, how, and when is asking, "So, what pics did Twangster post today?" ??Thanks for taking the time to do this blog! 

Oh gosh, please please let her still be here! Our first cruise is this coming May! I know you have a bunch booked.  I' guess we'll know Dec 4th when they open the Northeast????

LMAO!!!! When I left in June, my teaching partners were taking bets on how much shopping and travelling I was going to be doing!  I teach to fund my shopping habit and my cruises LOL!
...and the kids are ok too 

It's exclusively for Allure and Oasis (for now)
