    Ohhhh...recall the days when there was no wi-fi, only an 'Internet Lounge' on Deck 8...when Internet access became available on RCL ships.
    Long gone (thankfully!) are the packages of 'Internet minutes'...to be wasted in front of one of the Internet Lounge PCs...as your eyes glazed over staring at the hour glass image on the screen...hoping for something...ANYTHING!...to appear on the screen. 10, 15, 20 minutes...to see only a single email...from Mom hoping you were having a good time. Thanks Mom...but &#%@#$&^$#@!!

    The new room we are assigned to is 191 sqft and that certainly beats the 161 sqft ocean view room we were in. And an ocean view balcony is 198 sqft, so not much different. Some of the panoramic ocean view staterooms can be oddly shaped due to being on the curve of the front of the ship. Our newly assigned room is rectangular according to the deck plans.

    Just notified we were upgraded (RoyalUp) on our Nov 26th, 5 night Mariner cruise from a deck 2 ocean view to a deck 12 panorama ocean view.
    Won on the minimum bid of $35/pp.
    Basically, crap shoot and your mileage may vary.

    I probably should have clarified that it's listed as spacious and able to accommodate 4 people.  Then I saw it was barely bigger, so it was smaller than I thought it would be. I hate front of ship and I was on the curve, so it was an odd shaped room.

    Gears reacted to twangster in Celebrity Welcomes the Solo Traveler   
    A big pet peeve of mine as a frequent solo traveler is that Celebrity hasn't been very welcoming to solo travelers.  Today they have announced they are taking step to change that.

     
    What is yet to be determined is if they are carrying this through new love of solo cruisers with the Always Included, Indulge and Elevate plans which have to date required solo travelers to pay double the price for those plans based on double occupancy yet receive only benefits for one person.  
    I haven't looked into solo cruise fare discounts to see how effective this will be but it is welcome news for solo cruisers who wish to sail with Celebrity.
