Hi All:
We have a Celebrity Edge cruise that disembarks at Pier 91 in Seattle and have a 10:30 a.m. flight out of SeaTac. On disembarkation day, if I previously requested an early tag to get the luggage (normally I would walk off but I'm with a couple of elderly parents), do you think we will be okay to get to SeaTac by say, 9:30 or so?
Thanks!
I paid the $200 deposit for a future cruise on my last Celebrity cruise. I did not book the actual cruise yet, as I have 6 months to do so. My problem is, I can't figure out how to book a cruise with the reservation number Celebrity gave me. I've searched online and it says I can book on the website, but I can't seem to do so without them wanting a deposit. Does anyone have experience with this?
Here are the upcoming cruises that you can earn in the casino. One can use this information to help plan one's gambling bankroll and how many points to aim for.
| Points | April | May |
|---|---|---|
| 40,000 | ||
| 25,000 | ||
| 15,000 | ||
| 9,000 | ||
| 6,500 | ||
| 4,000 | ||
| 3,000 | ||
| 2,000 | ||
| 1,500 | ||
| 1,200 | ||
| 800 | ||
| 600 | ||
| 400 |
For those that don't know how it works, earning the number of points shown above on a single sailing entitles you to a cruise from the relevant list. Earning 5,000 points in a year (1-AUG -> 31-JUL) across one or more cruises also entitles you to a "free" cruise.
Good luck to all!

Just booked the Reflection for May 25-29 for a milestone anniversary. Part of the reason we chose a cruise is budget. I know my husband would love a non-alcoholic drink and WiFi package, it’s currently $48.99/day. I am happy with water and basic bitch coffee on a typical basis, and I planned to go analog and catch up on reading. But, it seems we either both get the package, or neither of us gets it. Is there any option that I don’t know of that’s less than $400 for 4-days? It’s 10% now, any chance of catching a better deal this late in the game?
My wife and I have booked our honeymoon for a celebrity cruise around the med later this year. 10 nights on the Celebrity Ascent starting in Rome and taking in Sicily, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Split, Naples, Olympia and Bar.
Looking for advice on excursions, both on ship and off, what would the advice be? any favourable excursions that we should defo book? and what to avoid?
Not wanting to break the bank but it is our honeymoon so want it to be as memorable as possible. So far we have activities for Sicily (Etna crater walk) and Naples (Pompeii).
I’ve done 3 celebrity cruises:
Edge in 2023
Apex in 2025
Equinox now
My other cruises have all been Royal or Princess.
On my first two celebrity cruises I was blown away by the meals. While I found Royal and princess food quality dropped after COVID, Celebrity wowed me.
But I’m now on the Equinox and it’s not better than Royal or Princess at all. Everything’s been just fine, but nothing has been very good or great. Especially the beef.
I’m wondering if this is the new normal on Celebrity so that people do specialty dining or retreat, or if this is just because it’s an older ship?
Was going to book a future cruise onboard but if this is the new normal and with prices double for 2027, I’m reconsidering.
The base price for Coco Beach club on my May 2027 on celebrity was $150 more than my Aug 2026 RC cruise. Is this normal? I’ve done a few cruises to coco cay, and the base price was always around $200 (discounts down to $100/person)
On the other hand, I see that the water park (and a few other excursions) is less than RC.
hey there everyone! I (27F) am going on a cruise with my partner (28F) and her immediate family at the end of June/beginning of July. I am planning on proposing while we are on the cruise (her parents are aware). I reached out to Celebrity and they have a “proposal package” option, but i’m not sure it’s worth the price. Has anyone used the proposal package before? How was it? was it worth the price? OR, has anyone proposed during a cruise without cruise line involvement, and how was that process?
Not picky, husband is a beer guy, I’m ok with well drinks. Was considering the premium drink package but honestly it’s pricey! How much drinking do you have to do every day to make the drink package actually worth the money?
We see mixed reviews and want to make sure it’s worth it. What would you recommend to prepare ourselves for the excursion?
Hi - as the title says, I'm trying to book a trip for my wife and I.
We have the following:
Costco Membership
We are active duty military
Amex Plat
Chase Sapphire Reserve
Southwest A-list (no cc)
Please advise the best way to get all in value - particularly I've seen comments mentioning stacking the amex obc, but I cant find a clear answer on how to do that right.
Thank you in advance!
Sailing on Beyond in a Sky Suite in a few weeks and I have a couple of burning questions for the room:
What's the current shampoo/conditioner in the cabin? Is it decent?
What's the butler situation? Do Sky Suites have a dedicated butler or did that Retreat team situation stick?
TIA
What am I doing wrong? I've been trying for about a month to use the celebrity web page to book an excursion for a cruise I've booked for December 2026. Every time I select the excursion, enter my credit card information. The website verifies with my bank, and I have to verify the charge with my bank app. Then the celebrity web page says everything is OK, that the excursion has been booked and I'll be receiving an email. When the email arrives it says the following:
| Well, that didn’t go as planned |
| We’re sorry, but we couldn't place your pre-cruise order. Your credit card was not charged and any pending holds will be released within 14 days. Please sign in and try your purchase again. |
I heard several months ago that they had taken the Video Poker machines off the Apex. Anyone know if they replaced them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there! My fiance and I are going cruising for our honeymoon with celebrity in November.
Will the Classic Drink Package cover a lot of stuff with the $12 and under range? Or will we be unable to drink most drinks on the ship?
Thank you! Just curious before we decide
I just checked prices for an Italy cruise in May 2027 and was blown away. 9 night interior room is listed at ~$2500pp. Is this because it’s so far out or is this just the new normal?
Maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy…LOL
Just curious if someone can order multiple appetizers or entrees or desserts at one meal. Especially if I try something new and don’t care for it. (We are in the retreat if that matters)
When I went to purchase the Thermal Suite package add-on thru the app (my stateroom is not Aqua Class) for my upcoming greek isles cruise, I was surprised to see that booking the package requires choosing one daily time slot to use the thermal suite. There is only the option of choosing the same entry time for every day of my 7-day cruise.
I called Celebrity and the agent I spoke with confirmed this- but this doesn’t sound accurate to me. If I choose, say 1:00pm- what happens on excursion port days? Am I not allowed to use the thermal suite on days when I’m off the shop at 1:00pm? Nothing I see or read online explains this so I wanted to confirm this restrictive booking requirement is accurate. Does anyone have experience with tjis?
I originally booked a Celebrity Constellation cruise through Costco Travel. Three days later I switched to the Celebrity Ascent (Aqua Class), departing one week later — still Celebrity, but booked thru vacations to go
When I made the switch, I was told I’d only lose $100 of my $900 deposit, so I felt comfortable moving forward. Today Costco informed me I’ll lose the entire $900. I’m hard of hearing, so I may have misunderstood — but I’m frustrated that Celebrity would penalize me for simply switching to another one of their own cruises booked the same week. Costco says it’scelebrity’s rule not Costcos.
Has anyone dealt with this? Any tips for getting the deposit back
We are considering an Iceland to Boston itinerary on Silhouette in August. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced hotel in Reykjavík? The prices I've seen for the major brands are totally insane. For example, over $800 per night for a Courtyard by Marriott. No way I'm paying that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
