  1. Following along and enjoying…..how does the mobile bar work😉. Celebrity did a great job for St Patrick’s Day I am very impressed. Enjoy the rest of your cruise and your Mom of course.
  2. We 100% with the above, never had a bad experience in Aqua. Definitely not a waste of money for us. Concierge definitely a waste of money!
  3. Pan Pacific is right by the cruise port and they will deliver your luggage to the ship. Lovely hotel wonderful staff and I would recommend booking a club room if possible. Enjoy your cruise.
  4. Our next cruise we booked Concierge just to get the points to make it to Elite+. Cost us 200 Euro more than a regular balcony. Never liked the afternoon canapé's, our room attendant used to change the sparkling wine to another bottle…..but seems that gone now.
  5. Got mine…… after next cruise we will be Elite+ 👏👏
  6. Water and soft drinks are included through the Captain’s Club benefit. if you are Elite Plus and don’t drink alcohol you don’t need a Beverage Package😊
  7. Great video Jim, thank you for posting brought back a lot of wonderful memories from our 2017 cruise with Celebrity. The history is fascinating.
  8. Following along your live reports are always so interesting and informative. Hopefully we will make it to Japan sooner rather than later. Have a fantastic time😊
  9. We were on the same cruise totally enjoyed, the weather was fabulous. Agree MDR was hit and miss but can’t say food was not good we enjoyed most evening. Oceanview we always found something for lunch usually a salad so not a big deal. We did two nights speciality dining Murano and Tuscan Grill both excellent in terms of food and service. Enjoy the second leg of your cruise and safe travels.
  10. Yes, we had that experience two days into our cruise just before we made Elite. We just went to see the Captain’s Club Hostess and she very kindly upgraded our Sea Pass to Elite.
  11. You were lucky😉. We did the same 1st night paid for G a T at Martini Bar and had Hendricks gin…..tipped well. Next evening HH but we were given Beefeater offered to pay difference but was told cannot be done. Also that if they gave us anything other than drinks available on HH menu they would be sacked. A few colleagues across the fleet had been sacked for doing this.
  12. We are Elite and friends Elite+, they were charged for coffee in June on embarkation day. They politely send the coffee back🤷‍♀️.
  13. I got price drop last February for our up coming cruise in October which we had booked onboard the previous October. Was really surprised as we kept all our OBC 700$ just think we were lucky on the day with the agent. The price drop was an amazing 1500 Euro.
  14. We were in Dubrovnik about 15 years ago and it was dirt cheap. Gorgeous seafood dinners with wine less than 20 Euro for two. But now everyone I know who goes there talks about how expensive it have become. Like you said it is drop-dead gorgeous, I remember the Croatia people were very kind. Your photos brought back many happy memories.
  15. Fabulous review and photos. We did this cruise May 2022 North and South bound, the weather was spectacular. We love the Millennium the crew were all amazing. Would love to go back and do the land portion. Thank you for taking the time and bringing back loads of happy memories.
  16. Looking forward to following along…..we have friends onboard in an Aqua Suite. We were supposed to join them but unfortunately family commitments got in the way. You have also given me lots of ideas for our next trip to London. Wishing you a great cruise.
  17. Thank you for taking the time, looking forward to following. We enjoyed a few days in Lucca years ago as we traveled around Italy by bus and train. I remember our hotel inside the walls had no air conditioning ( it was so hot) but the management were very kind. My husband left his man bag😂at reception with a lot of valuable and they delivered it next day to our hotel in Pisa. Enjoy Florence.
  18. Thank you for your review really enjoyed. We will be doing the same itinerary in October. We just made a bid to move up to Aqua…..not cheap but we love Aqua. Disappointed to hear about your stateroom attendant hopefully you brought it to the attention of Guest Relations. Would love to sail some day in a suite if the price was right😉
  19. Just let them know which fruit you wish to decline. Absolutely no problem the staff are all wonderful and will take great care of you. Enjoy your cruise.
  20. Spend, Spend, Spend 🤣. We had 850 OBC on our last cruise. I bought sunglasses, make up and a very nice Coach bag. You can also use it for extra tips (if you wish ) by going to Guest Relations and they will assist you.
  21. Great review and love that you both are taking everything in your stride…..yes, weather is very hot but you are being very sensible and taking lots of hydration breaks. Following along as we will be on the Reflection this October 1st time. Will definitely consider your hotel for our next Rome break.
  22. Not up to last Saturday when we disembarked the Silhouette.
  23. Entertainment was very good and very busy.
  24. We were on the Silhouette for 12 night just home since Saturday. We dined in Blu and it was wonderful like you many times in Blu and sometimes got fed up. They must have a very good chef in Blu at the moment. Main dining was very busy definitely book a slot its anytime dining so you just turn up if no slot booked. My advise go to see the host on the door the moment you get onboard and try and arrange a time. Hope you have a great cruise.
