We had an OMG moment when we got our cell phone bill. For much of the cruise I had the phone turned on so that I could use the wifi function for which we paid the ship wifi charges that were outrageously expensive. On top of that little did we know, you need to go into your settings on your cell phone and disable all ROAMING. Why??? Because the ship out of the goodness of the little heart charges, via your cell phone company, roaming fees! I had no idea and the ship certainly overlooks telling customers to wise up and shut down there cell phones. Our carrier is Sprint and they told me there is nothing they can do, that if the phone is turned on and I haven't disabled roaming the ship can stick it to me. Thanks so much Celebrity.

We also booked in Aqua Class. Not sure if getting vitamin water and canapes in the room was really worth it. Blu restaurant is ok. Decent enough food, but really not that much better than the dining room. The Persian Garden (another perk of Aqua) was also very so-so for us and on many occasions all the seats were taken so you couldn't enjoy it if you wanted to. Not sure we would book Aqua Class again. Our friends stayed on Concierge level (the rooms are the same as Aqua) and they felt the same way. They weren't sure there was that much more you were getting for the extra money.

It's very smart marketing on the part of the cruise line, to create some "perks" that cost them next to nothing and market a higher price point cabin to people like me who will pay for the distinction of knowing I'm somewhere others can't go. So that said...we've done it and it wasn't something we will necessarily do again. Read more
