  1. Hi,

    In July 2024, I’ll be taking my first cruise on Celebrity after my sailing on the reflection got cancelled. Looking forward to experiencing the Edge class. I’ve been doing some research and selected the excursions I want to book, the problem is the total amount is almost $1800 for two people. With the upcoming Black Friday and cyber Monday sales, do you think celebrity will have some discounts? This is a bucket list trip, I just wasn’t expecting the excursions to cost this much. 
     

    Thanks

  2. The last time I had suite lounge access, was in early 2022, when capacity was very low. During that time on Anthem, there was an abundance of bottled water and canned sodas available take with us to dinner and back to the room. We had the refreshment package so we didn’t really indulge like others, but nonetheless it was available. 

    We are sailing on Wonder in a few weeks and we’ll have suite lounge access again. Will the lounge be open daily 11-11? During those hours, can we grab bottled water and canned sodas? Or will we be limited to the cocktail hour? I’m trying to decide whether or not to order bottled water and get the refreshment package. We are also Diamond.

    Thanks 

  3. Thanks everyone for responding!

    I already purchased the teens a Voom and refreshment pkg. They are 15 and 16 so my hubby and I can enjoy the suite lounge (and maybe CK) without them. We always tip our stateroom attendants a lil extra for great service (which we usually get), but I didn’t think about them missing out on standard gratuities when more ppl are added. 
     

    Is there anything else I should be mindful of? I really just liked the idea of us all being in one room. However, the costs for all 2BD suites were too expensive when we booked.

  4. Hello,

    I have two cabins booked a Jr Suite (adults) and CP Balcony (2 teens). If my Jr Suite bid wins a Royal Up for a 2 bd grand suite. Can my entire family spend our sailing in the 2 BD suite? Will anyone notice that “extra people “ are in the room? 
     

    Also, what will happen to my CP Balcony? I know we can’t cancel it, but is it ok if we leave it empty?

    Thanks

    The last pushback was for the June cruises for 60 days instead of 30.  I think that's a good indicator that the July and beyond cruises would stay at the 90 day threshold.  I hope I'm wrong about this though.

    I hope so, I have not gotten my FCCs and I need to use them on my July cruise for my niece and nephew.

    In the past I've done several suite guarantees 9 times out of 10 we ended up in a junior suite which isn't bad because the GTY fare is actually cheaper than the junior suite fare. Seeing that their are more junior suites onboard the ship than any other class of suite the odds of getting a larger suite are not in your favor although it can happen.  But if you are booking the suite GTY with the hopes of getting a grand suite I would simply book the grand suite.  I will end this by saying manage your expectation because the odds of scoring a grand suite or higher may not be in your favor.

    1k more? I'm not sure if I'd take that gamble. We did a GTY suite on Ovation in September and were happy with the JS we were assigned, but the GTY was actually cheaper than even the JS, so it was a no-brainer for us.

    Sorry I meant overall. The guarantee is $1642 and the jr suite is $1836.

  8. I’m thinking about booking a guaranteed suite on the Oasis for 2 adults and 2 teens. There is about a $1k price difference between the guarantee and Jr. suite. I’m not (too) worried about the room location, but I’m wondering about the odds of getting a grand suite or better. 
    What’s your experience with this?
