another question....is there a charge for room service?

we're new to Celebrity - cruise is in November on the Equinox.
What time do they start serving dinner? Its it the same in all the restaurants?

we're new to Celebrity, looking at the Equinox in November, but the only dining option is 8:30 pm, there is a waiting list for anytime and 6:00pm.  We were told just go talk to the Maitre Dee and he can adjust our time to be able to eat earlier - "they do it all the time".  Anyone know if this is true? 8:30 pm is a deal breaker for us unfortunately

Gosh Thanks everyone, you have all been incredibly helpful!!!

Anyone with these issues cruise on Regal? How'd it go?

How much is the coffee package nowadays?!

Enjoying you review!! Hoping to sail on the Silhoutte in November for our first time on Celebrity - looking forward to it!! Enjoy the rest of your cruise!!

Thanks for the review! Thinking of going on the Silhoutte in the fall. Is there an adults only pool?

Thanks!!

On the Silhouette last November, they did the Silent Disco twice on a 7-night cruise. Both times it was amazingly fun!!!

What is a Silent Disco?!! I have never heard of this!!!:confused::confused:

I couldn't agree more with everything you said, CruisinHarvey.

It was our second HAL cruise, and we cruise with friends who have been on several HAL cruises so we were very aware that they cater to that demographic, we were just very taken by surprise that this time around it really was more of a average age of 80+ and a incredibly large amount of scooters, wheelchairs and walkers. We too go mainly to relax, so that we did!!!

we just sailed on the Koningsdam - 11 day, in October and we felt like we were on a Senior Citizen/Assisted Living cruise. We know HAL is known for a older crowd, but this was ridiculous. We probably saw a total of 10 children on board. And as far as entertainment....forget it. They had one comedian, one singer, one sax player on the World Stage. So disappointing

What is free in the Grand Dutch Cafe?

food is free, beverages are not!!

There is no charge for the food at the Dutch Cafe, but there is for the beverages.

Thank you!!!:)

Do you pay for the food at the Dutch Cafe?

What internet packages are available on ms Koningsdam?

That's a question that gets asked a lot. The adhesive on the nail wraps is pressure and heat sensitive, so it actually creates a waterproof seal if they are applied correctly. :)

Thanks the response!!!

I applied them for the first time last Sunday, and they lasted until Thursday, which I thought was great considering it was my first application. I'm sure with each application you get better at applying them, thus getting better placement and a better seal!

how do they last when you go swimming every day?

Nail polish doesn't hold up well on my hands, although it does for my toes. I used to be very set on having them match, and I still like the look a lot. However, if I get a gel manicure, I will use regular polish on my toes so I've gotten accustomed to them not matching.

 

I think it is nice either way - but I do like them to go together a bit. Right now, I'm experimenting with Jamberry wraps, and they have some very fun prints. I wouldn't wear them on my fingernails, but I think it might be fun for the toes! So I will try and coordinate them a bit.

How are you liking the Jamberry wraps?!! I tried them for the first time this weekend. I used the French Tips. I liked them except they didn't all fit as well as I'd like, but overall I thought they were easy to apply. I'm anxious to see how long they last.....that will determine if I use them for my upcoming cruise. Also, I'm wondering how they will hold up when going swimming every day......
