I’m totally not a morning person but that said I’m planning to get myself there as close to 9:30 as I can manage. Fortunately DH is a morning person and will do his best to keep me on schedule. 

 

One of the few things I know I’m going to hate about Wonder is those bench seats in the AquaTheater! The similar benches on the other Oasis class ships are not a good fit for me. My feet don’t reach the floor and my back doesn’t reach the backrest. The back spasms that accompany the bench seating are not fun. I much prefer the beach chair style seating. 

I'm not a morning person either but will get up early if a vacation is involved and I have to be somewhere at a specific time. 

We don't care for the bench seats either.  My husband has severe back issues and a hard object like a bench puts him in great pain. I'm petite and I doubt I'll be able to sit back during the show.  So sorry for your back pain and having spasms.   

Have a good evening!

Pinnie lunch AKA:  Cheers with an Officer.  

 

Bucky's steak was very good, but still does not top the very excellent steak we had on first night CK...which is always fantastic.  I did the Salmon...meh...not nearly as good...but did not want to "Steak out" again.  😉  

 

The head waiter came by and remembered me.  She knew I do not like the wine choice they have, and brought me a glass of Kim Crawford SB...without me even asking.  Now that is service.  🥰

 

Bucky loves the Key Lime pie at these lunches...happy Bucky!  😄 

Great menu!  If you have a chance (If not, no worries), could you find out when the Pinnacle lunch is for the next cruise?  Our friends that we are sailing with are Pinnacle and it would help us plan our dinner reservations.  Many thanks in advance!  Enjoy!!!!

And you as well!   Enjoy your upcoming cruise!  🙂 

Thank you!🙂 Looking forward to our cruise next week with our friends.  Thanks for posting and will enjoy reading your reviews/seeing pictures!  Cheers!

You are most welcome.  I am not sure why they were getting everyone messed up as they did yesterday, since the garage indeed opens at 9:30 (used to be earlier, but they limited the entry time to that).  

We'll keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.  Greatly appreciate you making us aware of what is going on.  Have a fantastic day!

The garage opens at 9:30...not sure why they want to drive us crazy.  Uggh...but was worth it for prime parking spot on level 2 in the end.  😉 

Thanks so much for letting me know.  Will get there early to deal with the mess. Great job finding a prime parking spot!🙂

On our last cruise we didn’t arrive quite as early as you did but we had the same kind of traffic pattern. We were going around in circles, cris-crossing with the new incoming traffic. It was an absolute mess! 

We have a 10:30am check in.  How early should we arrive due to the 'mess'?

OK...let me ask all of you this....what is better than a perfect sunset at sail away?   My answer...a perfect sunset dropping into a lovely glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc of course.  😄 

 

 

 

 

Perfect!  Looking forward to your reviews. Will be on Wonder next week.  Have a fantastic cruise and have a great time!

My husband and I stayed in 9374 twice and loved it!

Thank you.  I did not see it.

Happy to help.  Here's a link for a detailed tour.  Celebrity Apex - Edge Villa Tour

Does the upstairs bedroom have a television?  I don’t see one in photos but assuming it drops down from ceiling above the bed.  Please help!!!

Yes it does.  The TV drops down from the ceiling.  I looked at a few videos on YouTube to get an idea of the layout.

For a Villa from a SS, $650 sounds awfully cheap.  We were in a Sunset Suite and the bidding started at 2,500 pp.  Just so many variables...I guess if it is meant to be, it is exactly that, along with luck and timing!

Note:  The $1,300 is struck out in the email.

I couldn't believe the starting bid either. 

How did you like the Sunset Suite?

40 minutes ago, Suite Susie said:

Thank you that is good to know. At the moment we haven’t been invited to move up, but it looks like we can do this through the X website within 21 days of our cruise. 

Your welcome. Our cruise is in early November and the email was sent to me on Wednesday.

We are also booked in a Sky suite and would be very interested in bidding on an Edge Villa. Can I ask you what the minimum bid was, so I have some idea of how much extra it would be. You don’t have to answer!

For our cruise, the minimum bid is $650 per person.  It may vary by cruise.  This is the first time we've done this so I'm not sure if we'll get it or not.  Best of luck to you if you decide to bid on an Edge Villa.

Thank you, all, very much for your input, it is greatly appreciated!  I always pack earplugs to be on the safe side since we had issues in the past.  

We put a bid in and hopefully, it will be accepted.  If not, we'll still be happy with our sky suite and will try again on a future cruise.

Have a great day and happy cruising!

Hello:

My husband and I will sail on the APEX for TA later this year.

I received an email from X noting that I can bid on an Edge Villa.  We are very light/late sleepers and my concern is hearing noise while sleeping.

Your input and pros/cons would be greatly appreciated for those of you who have stayed in an Edge Villa.

Thank You!

Hello:

My husband & I will be sailing on Celebrity Beyond in January 2023.  We are interested in two tours but not sure which one to select.

For those of you that have done these tours, could you please provide pros/cons.  

Many thanks and happy cruising!

Puerto Plata and Cable Car Experience

SHIP:  Summit (Nov. 2022)

CABIN #:  6012 (Ocean View Accessible)

DECK #:  6

CLASS:  04

AREA: Starboard, forward, over the theater

BED NEAR: In the middle of the room (right side).  Chair on one side, loveseat on the other side.

QUIET?: Can hear the rehearsals (morning)/shows (evening) in the theater and feel the vibration from the loud music.  Vibration of thrusters.  If the Captain has issues docking due to high winds on the starboard side, it will sound like a helicopter landing on the helipad.   Needless to say, it scared the daylights out of me when we were docking in Cozumel. 

BALCONY VIEW:  -

BALCONY SIZE:  - 

WIND A PROBLEM?:  -

SOOT A PROBLEM?:  -

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:  We loved the size of the accessible cabin and that we were able to store our luggage under the bed. The chair in the room is wide but very uncomfortable.  Good amount of storage.  Only storage in the bathroom are the shelves by the sink. I packed magnets so I can hang my toiletry/cosmetic bags in the bathroom. You will feel more motion due to being in front of the ship.  Not near the elevators.  FYI... For those of you that need internet to check email, the connection was horrible throughout the entire ship.  Even the crew complained that the connection was bad.

Hi Everyone:

I received an email from Celebrity this evening.  This is for those sailing on the SUMMIT out of Miami tomorrow.  Hope this helps.

Safe travels to all of you!

Happy Cruising!

We just got off the summit on October 27 after 24 glorious days. Putri is the best! Please say hello to her from Mary and David Boyd. We told Kyle that he's a lucky man! Enjoy your cruise!

 

I'm so happy that you met Putri and Kyle.  Putri is amazing and hubby/I are looking forwarded to meeting Kyle. I just sent Putri a message that both of you said hello!  

Thanks for the cruise wishes. Just hope Nicole doesn't delay us getting on the ship.  Most importantly, just hope that everyone will be safe.

Another review from Generation  X!!!! 🍷 🙂I am so looking forward to reading your reviews on the BEYOND. My husband/I will be on the BEYOND in early 2023 in an ocean view accessible cabin.  Hopefully, we'll have Captain Kate/Bug!

We are sailing on the SUMMIT in a few weeks to see our amazing friend, Putri (Café Al Bacio Server) and her fiancée, Kyle (solo guitar player). It's a surprise and can't wait to see them.  

I enjoy your reviews and your enthusiasm is outstanding!  Enjoy and have a great time!  Hope to meet you on a future X cruise!

Have a fabulous cruise!  Let the party start!!!

Hello:

If paying in advance, is there a discount in price compared to arriving the day of debarkation?    How far is the garage from Terminal G?  

First time cruising out of Tampa and not sure where to park. We prefer a garage compared to a parking lot. Will a porter take our luggage to the garage?  Will make sure he/she gets a good tip!

Many thanks and happy cruising!

What kind of UFO/UAP is that in the upper left corner?

Reflection of the cabin ceiling light. That happened to me as well.
