While this comment is not about Celebrity, it explains why I booked this cruise! RCI offer a 2 4 1 cruise deal, Despite my wife's protestations, I signed up. We were promised a great range of cruises and would get 2 for the price of one. When added up, the so called savings were minimal at best! When the overall RCI pricing was compared to the offering of Celebrity for the same cruise/state room, it came out about even, BUT Celebrity were offering free gratuities, free drinks package and on-board credit. None of these were offered by RCI. Emails to RCI expressing my 'disappointment' went unanswered. So, don't fall for their scam and be aware that it isn't only RCI that offer such a deal. I have discovered that RCI is just one part of a network of connected organisations offering such 'opportunities'.

OK, rant over!!

Due to the limited cruises that suited our plans, my wife and I opted for this one as it arrived in Sydney, where our son, Daughter-in-law and grandsons live, on December 23rd. Just in time for Christmas!! Perfect!! Read more
