By day, lunch is served at an additional fee and you can purchase sandwiches or small pastries. In the evening the space is used for Le Petite Chef, a specialty dining experience. I personally feel they need to swap this space with Craft Social which is tiny and always busy. Patty

@WestLakeGirl and @patty1955 Not S or M class but as a heads up, I've been told by our Stateroom Attendant twice on Beyond and also on Apex, in the Caribbean and in Europe, to leave trays in the hall outside our door. They have someone come by with a cart to pick them up. Not because of covid. Patty

Have sailed Alaska on Celebrity with my kids. At the time they were 15yrs & 9yrs old and they had a blast! We made our family adventure 100% about Alaska and booked many fun and exciting excursions. Sometimes kids surprise us, they don't always need water slides or rockwalls to enjoy what the planet has to offer. Go...Enjoy...Soak in your family time! Trust me, it goes by way too fast! Patty

I've had the lobster ravioli and it was delicious. Patty

Personally I've had fantastic meals at Fine Cut twice on Beyond BUT on Apex this past Feb it was a major miss! Steaks were overcooked, sauces and mushrooms were cold, service was super slow and the over all vibe seemed lackluster compared to my other experiences. We were a table of 4 who had all dined at Fine Cut previously and agreed it was "just okay" bordering on "meh" Patty

We've never sailed Hawaii, only visited with land trips. Although we've enjoyed Maui, I agree Lahaina was just okay, I loved Kauai and Hubby loved Big Island, enough to return several times. We witnessed this explosion while have lunch in VNP. The left is our pic, taken with an iPhone from over a mile away. The earth literally shook. Very COOL experience and nothing that anyone could ever plan for. So all that being said my best input for the OP is that any vacation wether be by land or sea will have many plusses & minuses, lots of variables at play. When it comes to price drops after final payment, you just need to let that go. Motto: You win some ~ You lose some, in the end it all comes out in the wash. IMO Celebrity still offers a great product, when looking at other comparable lines, they exceed in service, dining and overall ship design. Cruising has changed, the traveler has changed and life as we know it has changed. Enjoy Hawaii, Patty

I had the same issue. I called Celebrity, they had to submit an IT Ticket and it was fixed in only a few days. Patty

Sailing the Connie June 2024 ~ I am flying in a few days early and booked flights on my own, called Cel and had the bus transfer VCE to Ravenna added to my booking confirmation. I'll meet back at the airport for the bus day of sailing. I'd call again, what you were told is incorrect. Patty

Celebrity is doing bus transfers from Airport & City Center to Ravenna Day of Sailing. You can call to have it added. The online system kept glitching because I am not flying in day of sailing and didn't book my flights through Celebrity. Customer Service Rep added it and sent me a new booking confirmation. I paid $40 per person from VCE to Ravenna Patty

Thank you @mac_tlc for another fantastic trip report, always enjoy following along! Patty

In addition the Silhouette out of Rotterdam haven't had their Norway itineraries altered, in time maybe they will? Some itineraries are missing Nordfjordeid entirely and being replaced with Bruges. That's quite a disappointment for those planning this sailing for the Norwegian Fjords. As of now it remains a mystery, time will tell Patty

No, those loungers are for all guests. Patty

I called Celebrity, they put in a work order ticket and it was fixed in a few days. Patty

I'm usually not wow'ed by the ship shows on Celebrity but Rockumentary was fantastic! Pool deck dance party was a huge hit! The guest magician was fun! Game shows were hit and miss. Patty

I am 56 hubby is 59, recently retired and we would love CoCoCay! I could lounge at the adults only beach and he could exhaust his inner child. 😁 My kids never cared about water slides or rock walls but my hubby did and still does. We just sailed on RCCL in Dec for a quick trip to Labadee, between the Flow Rider and Zip Line he was in his glory! Patty
