Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. The availability of purchasing specialty dining packages with varying choices of multiple nights is no longer being offered. We have a 15 night cruise coming up in October 2024 and can only purchase 5 night or unlimited specialty dining package. I checked this with the Celebrity onshore concierge, who confirmed this was correct.
  2. 🙂 Well I share their opinion in respect of that particular beer, but it seems to be popular in other countries, particularly the UK, from what I have seen in my travels. I am in my seventies now and for many years, we really had little choice here in available beer styles, which were dominated by different, but similar lagers, brewed in the various Australian states. Good hot weather drinking beers. Now, thanks to the explosion of craft breweries which have popped up more recently, there is an almost unlimited range of craft beer styles available. Many with higher alcohol levels than traditional lagers, which unfortunately come at a higher purchase price. I don't drink as much these days as I did when I was younger of course and really enjoy these more tasty, often more potent craft beers. I think IPA's are my favorite style with their concentrated hop flavors. I am looking forward to sampling some of the American brewed craft beers that are available on our upcoming Solstice cruise next week.
  3. Well said..agree with you there 🙂
  4. Another thank you for your informative and enjoyable live trip report. We are on Solstice taking the same cruise to Hong Kong Monday week, so your writings have been particularly helpful.
  5. Thanks for your reply to my queries. Glad to hear that food quality is still as good as we remember it to be. When dining in Luminae on previous cruises, we have also occasionally ordered a dish from the MDR menu. Once again thanks for your overall trip report so far and pics along the way. It has been great to, in a way, "share" the experience with you. Enjoy Hong Kong and safe travels home.
  6. Many thanks for your detailed and interesting cruise report, which I have followed from day one, as we will be taking the same cruise in a couple of weeks. I have read so many opinions on how the overall quality of food and service on Celebrity ships has fallen away in recent years and was just wondering what your experience has been, on this cruise? We have sailed on around half a dozen Celebrity cruises pre-covid and never found that to be an issue.
  7. We are on the same Singapore to Hong Kong Solstice cruise, but the later one departing Singapore on 15 January. Like you we booked the cruise a few years ago and waited patiently as it was delayed by covid etc. We live in Perth, Western Australia, and it's just a five hour direct flight to Singapore, so we will take the morning flight up on the day and join the ship around 1pm. We have done that on a previous Celebrity cruise departing Singapore just before covid. Anyway, look forward to following your thread and learning of your onboard experiences in particular.
  8. Thanks again everyone for your kind assistance, in relation to my query on the subject.
  9. Many thanks for your replies and comments. Much appreciated. Certainly a good range shown on the menus. Will just have to wait and see regarding availability on the particular cruises.
  10. Hoping fellow Celebrity cruisers can assist. My wife and I are Elite Plus Celebrity cruisers, but due to Covid and other issues, have not cruised since December 2019 from Singapore to Dubai on "Connie". Great itinerary by the way and thoroughly recommend. We have a couple of cruises booked for 2024, both on the " Soltstice", but can't see how to view the premium package alcohol menu or available drinks on the Celebrity website. Would very much appreciate anyone being able to point me in the right direction. Thanks.
  11. Really enjoyed following your cruise and thank you for the time you put into it. We have done 5 pre-covid Celebrity cruises and enjoyed tham all. We have two more booked in 2024 and so looking forward to them. I will look out for your review next month on the Infinity.
  12. Thanks for posting that photo. It does look like a nice area.
  13. Many thanks for your replies to my question about the club class dining area. Also just wondering whether there are tables for two in club class dining area and if so, what is the separation like from adjoining tables? Thanks...
  14. How was the club class dining area separated from the main Bordeaux diming area, if at all? We have an upcoming cruise on Coral Princess in a Vista suite.
