Having the same issue on both Royal and Celebrity apps, changed the password on Royal, for the same one I had previously, on Celebrity I get a HicUp message saying we can't change your password right now. How can a company this big be this bad when it comes to IT. They should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Could be a lot worse, we're getting Independence back again, not really a step up from Anthem

Sadly the whole 2025 Europe deployment is very disappointing, feels like Royal is only interested in short sailings to CocoCay

Just listened to the latest webcast from Celebrity, in the Q&A session Laura Hodges Bethge was asked about updating the ships that missed their upgrades due to the pandemic. She confirmed they are looking at updating the Solstice class ships but was non committal re the Millennium class ships, stating they were nearer the end of their life. Sad as we love the smaller ships, we're hoping they don't follow Royal by building ever larger ships.

We used Celebrity's recently in Tampa, it was a large old bus but it did the job. When we booked it they stated it wasn't for flights before a certain time. It was reasonably priced and got us there in plenty of time.

Might be worth getting the earliest boarding time, completing your muster drill and then getting off the ship to see the city. That way you get rid of your bags and have the day to explore.

Just had 9 days on Constellation, have to say the service was excellent. First night MTD was a mess but other than that all was good. Lots of waiters around serving drinks, didn't wait too long when at a bar. We loved it and have to say with Royal's move to shorter sailings on larger ships we'll be spending more time on Celebrity ships.

I think you mentioned you're from the UK, sadly we can't reprice our cruises, unless we book them through a US travel agent

It's getting top heavy in the Caribbean, Royal seems to be reducing the number of ships in Europe sadly.

Found this report of the incident https://www.crew-center.com/voyager-seas-encounters-storm-gulf-mexico

https://www.crew-center.com/royal-caribbean-build-new-cruise-terminal-barcelona Coincidence??? I think not

Perhaps Icon 3 will end up in Europe, maybe Barcelona? https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tour-operators/icon-class-ship-will-inevitably-homeport-in-europe-says-royal-caribbean-chief

Would love to understand why it's only cruises that include the Caribbean, but I've given up trying to understand RCL logic, and also their maths

We Will Rock You is on Anthem, it was excellent, Cats is on Oasis, apparently it's not so good https://www.royalcaribbean.com/experience/cruise-shows-and-entertainment/broadway-shows

One we're hoping is true, that and a smaller class of new ships

On our recent cruise from Barcelona they did offer a 3 night pre cruise stay, it was very expensive (in our opinion). Post cruise don't remember any overnight stays, just the usual airport drop off options.

Bit concerning that it already needs repairs to one of it's Azipods

We forgot to request one in advance, we mentioned it to our cabin steward on arrival, it was in the room when we returned from dinner.

Taken from a speeding tour bus

She's made it to Cadiz, she's huge(and ugly) in our opinion. Sorry for the grainy pictures taken from Celebrity Infinity at dawn

The European sailings for Europe are available, have to say the itineries from Southampton are way more interesting than the Royal ones. Tempted by the October transatlantic on Apex from Southampton.

Apparently they're reducing the number of infinate verandas and having more traditional veranda cabins, seem to remember the new CEO of Celebrity mentioned this in one of her webcasts.

Assuming @SergJ has booked in a country that allows repricing, many don't sadly.

Managed to get it for £46pppn for our transatlantic next autumn, happy days.

Thanks, good to know it's still there
