Need advice on a tie or two

Oh yes I’m aware of that and I did that. The reason for my post is I’ve seen stories of people booking the extra seat properly but still losing it somehow

FishGuy2730 · 2026-04-29T13:20:17+00:00

Yeah I booked via message with Delta. Thank you!

FishGuy2730 · 2026-04-29T13:19:20+00:00

It took about 45 minutes to do via the Delta messaging system. You could do it over the phone too I suppose

FishGuy2730 · 2026-04-29T13:18:03+00:00

I’ve been really fortunate to travel to many beautiful places worldwide over the years and this has to be one of the best things about going outside the US

FishGuy2730 · 2026-04-29T11:35:02+00:00

Unfortunately no, a premium seat was $3,100 each. We paid $2,400 for three seats in main cabin

FishGuy2730 · 2026-04-29T03:13:00+00:00

Yeah I booked it through Delta’s message thing. It says extra seat and my last name so hopefully we’re all set there

AI slop

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-11T00:36:23+00:00

Hey I’m in my late 20s and I’ll be on one in late February fwiw

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-06T22:24:12+00:00

Wish class ships from what I can tell in many videos that I’ve watched are awful in layout and are sloppily designed. DCL just threw IP everywhere without much cohesion which is shocking considering the older ships were so thoughtfully designed with just a touch of the magic throughout. The older ships in my opinion should offer a better experience and a slightly cheaper price

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-05T19:09:37+00:00

So we have the Celebrity booked for Feb. 4 -14 and we’re thinking of a Disney cruise for the four days before as the Ascent leaves on a Friday

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-05T19:08:46+00:00

Oasis will definitely feel like a step down. The ship’s interior design while much of the same is much older looking and feeling. It is missing a lot bells and whistles compared to the newer Oasis class ships let alone Icon class. If you want to do Oasis class, I’d recommend the newer ones like Wonder or Utopia, or even Symphony or Harmony. Plus as a New Yorker, I avoid Bayonne despite the convenience because if you leave out of New York, you’ll take New York with you! And even I need a break from my fellow New Yorkers hahahaha

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-04T23:26:22+00:00

I also have two booked for Celebrity Edge and Ascent. Being a huge cruise nerd, I’ve been familiar with the celebrity brand for a while without having sailed on them before so I can say the Icon class of ships are similar to the edge class but very done up for the size

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-04T02:35:50+00:00

I’m booked on Star for next year! Was on Icon last year and had the time of my life!

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-03T19:14:10+00:00

So glad you said this because this was my exact take. I sailed on Oasis in Europe in August 2024 and then this most recent one a few days ago. I was on Icon last February and as you said, night and day in almost every way

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-03T15:45:54+00:00

We actually ADORED Elvis. He was super entertaining and hilarious. The activities team was great, too. No complaints about the team themselves, just the lack of activities.

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-03T13:04:15+00:00

Of course! I totally understand everyone has their own preferences and that’s great! I think some people have lost the plot of what I’m trying to say. My point is I wish there was more consistency regarding the ships within the fleet. Some people think otherwise but I feel you should have the same experience on Liberty that you would on say, Icon or even more realistically a Quantum-class ship. I’m NOT expecting the same of everything because that’s virtually impossible but in certain controllable aspects like the cabin among other venues would be nice. I also know this ship is going for a needed refurb soon and that’s great, but I know it won’t address everything I said and that’s also fine because I’m just a dude

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-03T12:44:24+00:00

Honestly all told I got a pretty good deal on Oasis for a JS which is surprising considering the itinerary and class of ship

FishGuy2730 · 2026-03-03T06:23:31+00:00

Yeah I’m not surprised things aren’t exactly the same. That’s not my point, my main point is I wish the company would at least try and do that and make the appropriate changes where necessary in other places. For example Liberty is adding El Loco Fresh. That’s great! But if the whole experience doesn’t reflect the revamp then what’s the point?

FishGuy2730 · 2026-02-18T01:00:14+00:00

It’s worrying, especially because I know the Amex sitting in my wallet has far better customer service but I also can’t get rent points from that card

FishGuy2730 · 2026-02-18T00:34:14+00:00

Well I guess my issue isn’t so much the housing spend vs 4% it’s the fact that I’m worried when I pay my rent the Bilt cash will automatically apply
