I’m currently on the Wonder of the Seas and my 14” fan was confiscated. I’ve used fans between 14” to 18” and never had a fan confiscated over the last 30+ cruises. The frustrating part is they won’t explain why it was confiscated other than it is unsafe. I even had the suite concierge call them with no luck of getting it back. The ironic thing is the cabin steward got me a cheap 20 inch box fan with a 2-prong plug while my fan was a good quality fan with a 3-prong grounded plug. Go figure.

In 2023 it was Underwater Adventure. They meet you right at the cruiseship dock. I’m a certified diver but did the discover scuba excursion (for a refresher) which was on the same boat as the certified divers. In retrospect, I should have just done the certified diver excursion since the discover scuba instruction was not so great. The dive masters with the certified divers seemed good though.

I’ve had cabins close to the rear elevators on deck 8 and noise wasn’t an issue. It looks like cabin 7273 is under the restrooms next to Dazzles.

We always fly down 2 days before the cruise. Last June, we were stranded in Miami for 2 days after our trip due to flight cancellations. Severe storms went through the day before we arrived in Miami and lasted for a few more days. Our flight canceled just before boarding, we had no luggage for 2 days. While we always carry essential clothing on the way down to a cruise, we will do the same for the return trip.

In February 2020 I went on the boat named “Sea Cow”. It was very organized and made 2 snorkeling stops. We had three groups of 6-8 at a time with a guide so everybody was not bunched up.

I bought one on the Symphony February 18, 2024

I was on the Symphony February 10-18th, bought one at Guest Services for $10. I was in a GS so they are not free for suite guests.

Just curious, with the DP340 promo code in use, do you still get an extra C&A point for cruising solo?

I was onboard February 10-18 also. I was surprised the casitas did not face the ocean. They are on deck 16 overlooking the pool. Here is a picture taken from the Coastal Kitchen.

Just used luggage valet on February 18th. I was tracking our two suit cases with Apple air tag. My wife’s suitcase made it to FFL then loaded on our Delta flight. When we got to ATL around 2:30, my suitcase was still at the cruise terminal. I called Royal while in ATL but they said a 3rd party handles the luggage and did not have a number. I got my luggage the next day. I’ll go back to walking off our bags. My idea of going to the CK in the morning for breakfast and not messing with our bags backfired.

I got that email today also. Our obstruction was the window washing apparatus. I’ve already sent an email to my TA to move our cabin. Lucky for us, there are cabins still available for February 2025.

We just got back from our first Celebrity cruise (10-day cruise). We enjoyed eating in the Blu restaurant, much like the Coastal Kitchen. I used the thermal suite daily, but my wife never went. We were able to lower the cost of our cabin by $1,000 after a few months by watching the prices. We had the “All Included” pricing. Make sure the veranda cabin has the “All included” pricing for your comparison. That said, we booked a B2B aqua class cabin for 2026. I still prefer Royal Caribbean but like some of the itineraries on Celebrity.

I’m on this cruise too

In order: 1. Symphony 2. Harmony 3. Freedom 4. Liberty 5. Independence

I’m going to Antigua on Celebrity Equinox November 30th, haven’t heard anything yet
