    We loved Royal's Oasis class...then in '21 we did Celebrity Edge & was hooked! Did Beyond Nov '22 and we go back on her in Nov this year! We ❤ the Retreat and ❤ the Magic Carpet Sky Suites. Celebrity does it right for their suites guests that hooked us, and it's all inclusive. Royal you don't get all inclusive unless you do Star Class. Celebrity is awesome even if you dont have a suite, their service is superb.😊 You were on point for the tips!👏👍

    My wife and I are going on our first Celebrity cruise with the October 14th sailing to the Southern Caribbean ABC Islands on Equinox.
    Our travel agent took good care of us getting the all included package with the classic drink package, wifi & tips in a Auqua Class cabin mid ship deck 11 also with a nice OBC as well.
    We will be celebrating 30 years of marriage and looking forward to our first cruise with Celebrity but our 4th overall.
    We have sailed Norwegian and Carnival in the past.
    Also i'm surprising my wife with a second cruise December 30th 10 days in the Caribbean as well on Oceania Vista another line we have never been on but also looking forward to it as well.
    Thanks for the tips with Celebrity fellas as we will definitely look to use!
    Have a great one.

    IMO, Celebrity is the best cruise line out there. Love the no amusement park, midway type atmosphere. Very few children, there is not a lot for them, but on all of my cruises, the children that were on board, super well behaved kids. "Smaller" ship size def. a plus. The Retreat is so well worth it, if it is in your price range/reach.

    We'll be on our third Celebrity Cruise next month! Celebrity is our new favorite cruise line. Those Cafe al Baccio bites are a great plus for those of us who may sleep in a bit and need a coffee and a pastry to tide us over before lunch. Also, it's conveniently located on the lower decks so you don't have to traipse up to the buffet for snacks.

    You guys are great! what my hubby did is negotiate with the specialty dinner representative to give us dinner in the Tuscan Grill for $30 per person instead of $50. this was not on the first night nor a day we were in port. We had dinner with new found friends and the food was amazing. I have friends going on their first celebrity cruise next month and pretty much shared everything you posted on this video. I did write up a cruise tip sheet (2 pages long) that helped with arrival in the cruise port to tipping to entertainment. We love celebrity and wanted to make sure they had the best time with great information. Our next cruise is the Mardi Gras 2/24. Hope you guys booked this cruise!

    JJ's!..Very informative Videos, well done! Your creative use of B-roll throughout really enhances your storytelling. My wife and I have sailed many times but never on Celebrity, so your info on this line has been invaluable!. We are looking at two Celebrity Cruises next Feb in the Southern Caribbean. One on Beyond and the other on Silhouette. We are torn on which ship to choose. The Silhouette has many Aft facing Balcony cabins available while the Beyond has the Infinite. Not sure the Infinite will be our cup of tea? However the Beyond seems to offer more from Dining to Entertainment. I would love to see you do a side by side video presentation of the Pros and Cons of each Celebrity class ship and which would be your favorite. Now I need to figure out my dilemma. Keep up the great work!

    This was great information. We are going on our first Celebrity Cruise in January of 2024. However we are seasoned cruisers. One thing you might add to your list is that your RCL points can be applied to Celebrity. We are Diamond on RCL which makes our status with Celebrity, Elite. Not all of the same perks but something is better than nothing. This must be done before getting on the cruise ship.

    Awesome info. I love it! I booked our first celebrity cruise on the beyond (before finding you). 10 day southern Caribbean. Like a bone head I didn’t even ask if they offered a first time discount. My other half has already been on one of their cruises so maybe that would negate it ?
    Weird Question. Do they allow surge protector strips on the cruise at all? Guessing we probably don’t need it but I had bought one for our upcoming Tahiti cruise.

    LOVE Celebrity. Have never been disappointed. 1 big 1 is They don't tell you is that if your bed is uncomfortable ..they will put on a different topper or if you need different pillows or more pillows all you have to do is ask your room steward. I've even "boarded " at my not assigned time and it has never been a problem.

    I am booking a group for a Celebrity Edge Hawaiian cruise. We have to pick the location for our rooms. Not sure if we should pick port or starboard due to the magic carpet on starboard side. Is it noisy? I am taking retired people. We have E2 and O2 rooms. Thanks for any advice.

    My tip would be if your drink is more expensive than the your classic drinks package allows you only pay the difference (and not the whole price like some other cruise lines). If you get a good deal on the Premium drinks package it's worth upgrading, but I don't think the full price Premium Package is worth it - just pay the difference as you go if like us your're moderate drinkers. On our last cruise we found a lot of the bars didn't have the premium package brands or the staff tried to suggest Classic drinks were premium e.g.bottom rung Hennessey VS brandy instead of Remy Martin VSOP...and in the MDR the sommelier often tried to give us the cheap wine

    I am new to your vlog and am loving watching you and your travel tips. My hubby booked a Celebrity cruise (on his own) for our 20th wedding anniversary. We leave from Amsterdam and go to Iceland and Ireland. That being said, after listening to you and some of the comments below, would there be an added benefit to booking with you instead? What about booking excursion’s- do you do that too? We don’t get to cruise often (family, kids, life, etc) so we would like to get the most out of any trip we take alone. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

      Hi Colleen! We are happy to help if your hubby recently booked within the past 28 days. If eligible, we can transfer the booking.
      We can only help if the cruise booking is under our agency. So let us know if you wish to transfer at jj@lovelandandsea.com (we will need the Cruise Confirmation to verify eligibility).
      For future bookings, feel free to fill out our booking form at JJCruise.com and we’ll get you the best rate which may just be a special agency rate that is better than booking directly.

    I have a question about the time in port. For the first boarding, I read that one must be there 90 minutes before departure. Is that true of every port? We have a Iceland/Ireland cruise this coming July on the Silhouette and the port time is listed, for example, from 8am to 8pm. Does that mean get to the ship by 8 or get there 90 minutes earlier at 6:30? On the other hand, when arrival is at 8 am, when can we get off the ship? Thanks!

    Something has happened to my, formally, favorite cruise line. Just returned from the Eclipse. It seemed like the staff were all trainees and the chef was trained in McDonalds. Terrible food in the dining room and believe there was some type of contagious illness on ship. Had what I thought was travelers diarrhea but when I didn’t recover saw doctor that said how it could have been spread. I think I’ll skip celebrity for awhile and return when I feel that service and food have improved.

    Are all the suites on the BEYOND located within the Retreat? Are any suites located outside the Retreat. First time on Celebrity.

    • @tink4998
      @tink4998 ปีที่แล้ว

      No they are not all in the Retreat area, just the Edge Villas. But the "Retreat" area on Beyond is now all together. The majority of the suites are in the upper decks and in front of the ship close to the Retreat. The only aft suites are the corner sky suites. We did the aft sky suite on Edge, the balcony was huge but it was inconvenient for the Retreat amenities in our opinion. We love the Magic Carpet Sky Suite...middle of ship, nice size balcony and still close enough to Retreat. Hope that helps!😊

    I am dying to try Celebrity! We’ve cruised mostly NCL Haven, and as I see them eliminating basic things we enjoy, and continuing practices I’ve never cared for, I’m intent on trying Celebrity but so far they haven’t met my needs as far as dates and itinerary. I don’t even think we’ll need The Retreat. Does Celebrity still serve salmon (smoked in the am and baked in the pm)? Half n half for coffee in the MDR? Lobster night in the MDR? ❤

    Not sure if this is a secret, but Celebrity has a great lounge at pier 25 at Port Everglades for those in the Retreat. However, it is easy to miss. It is to the left of the escalators and you can only get to it via an elevator. If you take the escalator the attendants checking your boarding card don't direct you to the Retreat waiting lounge. I've spoken to a number of people who have missed the lounge.

    Luggage drop off is great..but...cabin stewards usually have multiple staterooms open while cleaning. There is no way they can do the cleaning and watch who is going into these open rooms. Anyone in the hallways can rummage thru these rooms and your luggage. A cruise ship is no different than a hotel on land.

    • @JJCruise
      @JJCruise  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      We feel a bit different on this one. The amount of theft that can’t be caught via the intensive camera system onboard creates for (what we feel) is an extremely safe environment.
      That being said we typically take a small Fanny pack with us and will keep valuables in there and on our body if we ever feel our things are not safe on land or at sea!

    • @JJCruise
      @JJCruise  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Also- You do still need your room key to access the staterooms so it is well secure. ☺️

    • @bethsimpson1916
      @bethsimpson1916 ปีที่แล้ว

      We love how you can drop off whatever you have, get your key and shut the locked door behind. Never have worried about the security. Far less congestion in the buffet or wherever you choose to rome on the ship. Have done this many times. Thanks guys for all the information you pass along 😊

    • @genes3088
      @genes3088 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not if the steward is working on multiple rooms...they are all open...I've seen it on all 13 cruises.
