Does anyone know what Xcite will be like

We had so much fun spending 3 weeks on Xcel last month, but I was informed that it is the last of the edge class ships.

Excel was so much different from the other edge ships. I’m just so curious about how different Xcite will be.

Omakase & Chefs Table worth it? Example menus out there?

For people who have experienced either/or of the above dinner experiences on Edge Class ships (we will be on the Beyond soon), are they worth it?

Are there example menus out there in the world to see before hand?

These style of dinners are something my wife and I enjoy and will seek out. We definitely appreciate and enjoy good food and good service. I’m just curious if it would be what I’m expecting, and if it’s worth the time.

Much love and thank you for any insight!

Question about credit card points

I’m considering getting the new Royal credit card and the one with an annual fee gives 70,000 bonus points. Can someone give me an idea of what 70,000 points will buy?

How to pack for BTB cruises

Celebrity cruise newbie (only one previously, pre-Covid tonAlaska) I’m going on a long (really two back to back) cruise with my adult kid mid-June and can’t wait! Have never cruised other than the Bahamas, and never more than 4 nights, and have also never travelled to the Mediterranean. Any suggestions for what to pack to be comfortable but still look put together-which is not my norm. I’m a teacher who usually lives in jeans/leggings and T-shirts, and don’t dress up much-but also don’t want to embarrass my kid.

Best Specialty Dining on Silhouette

Hi, we're frequent cruisers with Princess and Royal Caribbean, and will be trying our first celebrity cruise. On our past RC cruises, we haven't enjoyed Chops or Giovannis compared to Princess. We have a 7 night Bermuda cruise booked, so will probably try 1-2 specialties. What are the best options on Silhouette?

Oceanview Cabin - Celebrity Beyond

We put a deposit down on a Guarantee Oceanview cabin. We’ve sailed on this ship before in an Edge Veranda and didn’t use it much, so we are going for the cheaper option this time around.

Anybody previously had an Oceanview cabin on this ship that can share their experience? It seems most of those cabins are down on Deck 3 around the main bar, theater, and dining rooms. Im concerned about noise/people congestion.

Would love to hear from those who have stayed on Deck 3!

Is there a Premium Access/Wifi/Non-Alchoholic Drink package?

I thought on my last cruise I had seen an option for a wifi & Non alchoholic drink package that included the premium access, but since booking my next cruise I have only been able to find the version with the premium (alchoholic) drink package. Does a bundle with the NA drink package exist, or did I imagine it?

Fuel surcharges…

I have purchased, in full, a seven day cruise on the Summit beginning November 1, 2026. I know none of us can see into the “crystal ball”, but with the price of gas rising, how much notice, if any is Celebrity required to give me should they decide to Implement a fuel surcharge?

Extra tipping

We’re currently on silhouette and have received outstanding service from the waitstaff, and our room attendant looking. Looking for guidelines about what’s a nice extra tip for them.
Thanks in advance for any guidelines

Premium Drink Package & Bottled H2O question!

We’ve purchased the premium drink package for our upcoming 7 nighter on the Beyond. I also got a case of the Aqua Pana bottled water on order for the room. But then..I started thinking..are bottles of water now included in my Premium Drink Package…and should I cancel the pre purchased case and just ask dinning and bar venues for bottles of water?

Please enlighten me! Much Love

Packages vs Upgrades

Just saw this deal for my upcoming cruise.

It seems like really good value. but it's listed as an "Upgrade". I have not yet purchased any packages for wifi or drinks.

If I buy this upgrade, do I need to buy the basic packages for wifi and drinks as well for it to apply?

Mind that the price for the basic wifi and drink packages for me and my partner over our 8 day cruise would be $1,407.68. The upgrade bundle adds an additional $287.84, for a grand total of:

$1,695.52.

This doesn't seem worth the price to me unless we both end up having 8+ drinks per day. Curious to hear others opinions on the value proposition here (and any tips on drinking for cheap would be GREATLY appreciated ❤️).

Constellation cancelled Salerno today due to weather, is this common?

I'm currently onboard Constellation and the Captain just made an announcement saying we were unable to enter the port of Salerno due to weather conditions (to us who know nothing about that it looks like a fine day but obviously something going on). I'm curious to know if this is common for Salerno as I couldn't find other instances online (also to see if I could get my third party excursion to refund me lol)

$50 US for 24 hrs of internet

Sitting right now on the Celebrity Ascent, needing to do some work that needs more than the tiny bandwidth of the basic package.

This is how much I was told it would be. Yup.

Nice boat, horrible business.

No drinks package

My wife and I are not big drinkers. In fact, we very rarely partake of alcohol. So, I'll just pay for drinks as I go. What about non-alcoholic drinks. Is anything free during the day or with meals. I like to sip on iced tea during the day.

Also, are you allowed to bring any alcohol on board with you? Thanks in advance.

Cruise starts in 12 days

We've upgraded our drinks package. But now I see prices have dropped. Can we cancel it and buy at the new price?

or apply to a new package with wifi/premium drinks?

Is repricing a cruise pretty easy?

I'm looking at a cruise for next year and it's at the lowest point I've seen it, but still a fair amount of availability. I'd like to book it just to have the location we want and spread out the payments, but if the price drops, is it really not a big deal to get a price adjustment? Do you just call?

Advice on how toreach celebrity to cancel for medical reasons

#Celebritycruise
Question We have two cruises with Celebrity coming up next month. My husband has to have a completely unexpected quadruple bypass surgery right away that we found out about last week on Friday. Since then we spoke with an agent who said to email celebrity and request cancellation due to medical reasons. We have repeatedly emailed that address several times with no response. We are not even asking for a full refund but for the funds to be held for a future cruise as we love Celebrity since we’ve cruised with them a number of times before and plan to do so in the future. Any thoughts on how to reach them? The first sailing is on June 6 and this non responsiveness is adding to our stress levels. Any help will be appreciated!
