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.

I booked this Celebrity Cruise on board Explorer of Seas at Next Cruise desk.  I got Resident Rate, All included and OBC and then when my agent got fax of booking , it was moved into a group rate space that added more OBC.
Sometimes even though both Royal and Celebrity are sisters, when booking a Celebrity with Royal Next Cruise sometimes their rates are a tad off to what is showing on Celebrity website and i make Next Cruise Manager call over to Miami directly to get that price honored and still get perks of booking at Next Cruise......

I'll be looking at those NE sailings.  They've been doing 11-night, round-trip sailings from Boston to Quebec, spending 2 nights in Quebec.  We did that back in 2003, and it was THE BEST itinerary we've ever done.

The replies to the original topic "Europe Summer 2025 Available" have focused on flight costs. This is worthy of a forum topic by itself. Alternatively, for understanding the world of air travel, I spend a lot of time reading articles on The Points Guy (The Points Guy - Maximize your travel.) I share this hoping that people can find ways to reduce their airfare costs.

The Points Guy website has a very good article on Celebrity cabins and suites. Celebrity Cruises cabins and suites guide -- everything you want to know - The Points Guy

It's the same, book you're boarding time 45 days in advance, complete your details on line, wellness check before boarding and you're good to go.

We have only sailed on Royal Caribbean but would consider Celebrity if there were some Europe itineraries that we like better than what was just released for Royal in 2025. Does anyone have any insights that would be helpful for someone new to Celebrity. Is there someone like Matt or forums dedicated to Celebrity?

I am embarrassed, I never noticed that forum! Thank you for pointing it out!!!

So was I...especially the Arctic Circle 12-13 night.😦

We were on Voyager the last two weeks. If you booked a cruise for Icon of the Seas they gave you a magnet for your door.

We booked the cruise on the second day of our cruise when booking opened up. We put the magnet up on our door for a few days but when I did not see anyone else doing it, I got paranoid and took it off. We also got a plastic cup/tumbler as well. You got to choose between that and a notebook.

Is there any intel on when RC will release itineraries beyond April 2024 for ships beside Icon? I would love to compare prices of Icon sailings to other sailings happening around the same time. Wanted to do Icon, but if I can afford 2 sailings (a family sailing and a mommy and daddy only sailing) on an Oasis or Quantum class ship for the same price as one family trip on Icon, would prefer to do that and leave Icon for a bit later down the line. ^_^

Right when I disembarked in Skagen, there are little fisherman huts where you can eat. Skagen Fiskerestaurant was very good and my whole family enjoyed it.  I'm not sure if you can walk right from port into the main little town, but once you are there you can rent bicycles and have a great time! We also thought the Skagens Museum was lovely. 

Totally not the case on Odyssey right now, corporate must have made a call. I have never witnessed so much security posted within the ship. All crew seems to be addressing masks, and most are compliant. 
We were at Sorrentos sitting at a table having some tea, masks off of course. Mr. Cabash stands up without mask on and while reaching into his back pocket to get it to put on a staff member was on him, made me chuckle. Very serious right now and they are being worn correctly, you don't see a nose! I haven't used lipstick thus entire sailing:)
They let us know all movies are complementary too if you want to stay in your cabin. I'm typing this from my balcony. I must say I feel the ship is handling this well. While disappointing I feel safe and still enjoying. 
Going to a Tap show they added to the schedule at 1500. Yes. Added. Nice.

2 more? Can you be more specific? I don't see any changes. Maybe I am not looking at the right thing. I am looking for Caribbean cruises out of NJ and Baltimore from May through end of year for 2023

Worst cruise ever?
I'm sure the former passengers of the Costa Concordia and the Achille Lauro would disagree, but, ok.

I would say even prior to 2019 there have been unforeseen changes such as itinerary changes or port cancelations. I am not a smoker but I am a gambler and I personally welcome this change. 

I guess everyone has their own set of priorities and where they draw the line in the sand. Ms White likes her cigarettes while gambling clearly. At this point, nothing regarding rules and protocols on cruise ships surprises me anymore. You need to get on that ship with the understanding that this is not 2019. 

I thought the same thing. 😂 
OP, welcome to Royal Caribbean Blog.  If you return, I’m sorry you are disappointed. Sailing during a pandemic means we have to be flexible. There are smoking areas on the ship.

I think every passenger who chooses to cruise during this time of transition, change and uncertainty…must know and expect that there are ‘remote possibilities’ that you may experience your ‘worse cruise ever’. From being infected..or quarantined…or itineraries changed…or mask wearing issues…or shows cancelled.
Anything can happen and you should be prepared for it. Even if you never, ever expect it. Or you can choose not to cruise now. Either way…it’s your choice.

I'd like to hear this band and hear why they are smoking in the casinos
