I mostly listen to cruise related podcasts to help the time pass and to add to the excitement. I must admit that I've listened to various RCBlog podcast episodes repeatedly just in case I missed something. YouTube videos help as well and have the advantage of giving you a good feel for the ship.

I'd say it's worth trying. One of two things could happen.....
1. Someone will cancel randomly
2. Someone will cancel when final payment is due
#2 is most likely to happen but I'd be on the wait list if you really want that sailing.
I agree with Matt. Given that there's no penalty for canceling prior to final payment, there's always a chance that someone will cancel as they may be holding multiple reservations waiting to decide which one will be best for them (e.g., airfare costs).

I say go for it. My one experience with Celebrity had quite a young crowd, but that was during Spring break. I've also been on other lines that skewed way older and never had a problem because of it.

I'm sure the service fee will apply just like in any other venue including the cabin's minibar. We used the self-serve wine dispensers on another line and were surprised that a service fee was added.I'm wondering whom I'm supposed to tip in this situation....

Note, also, that a venue may appear that you don't recognize as the soda package and or a drink seminar is billed to a specific venue even though it's actually the charge for the special vent or beverage package.

We did the Legend out of Tampa years back. It was a great port to cruise out of and a very scenic departure. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the ship, yet, as I don't sail on her until July 2015, although I'll be on her sister, Jewel, in January.

I think you may be correct. I've been reading a lot of reviews for European sailings on RCI and one of the complaints is the high price of drinks at the bars. I think they may preload the service fee into the cost of the drink instead of adding on afterwards.
