Iain had it today and had them add crispy bacon. They will put on and take off to your desire.

We were using it in Yorkey's Knob and returned to the ship using it. Right after out tender it was taken out of service. Just realized it will not make a difference on the next cruise we have NO tender ports... yea.

To my knowledge it is available in MDR also. They do not have it posted anywhere that I've seen but we have been ordering it throughout the cruise. It is also the perfect size for us.

Good room - full forward - Quiet. We have been 11103 Ports side. I have hearing a bit of a hum possibly the ships stabilizers but not annoying. check out https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/ships/Celebrity-Beyond 10104 has pictures as well as 10106, 07 and 09. Will give you a good idea.

No. On an upgrade you do not get the Perks of the room (Wifi, Drink package etc) you do get the amenities like Retreat and Luminae You didn't say which ship you are on to get advise on your room.

B2B meeting this morning. - yet again attention to detail our meeting information didn’t arrive in our room. If I didn’t ask last night I would have missed. Dozens of people are caughing with a raspy cough. Feel like I’m in a Petrie dish. Meeting is at 10:00 am. Of course at 10:05 Captain Matt comes on and we sit here listening to he and Giuseppe for about 20 minutes. Really poor planning / Coordination. so many coughing I finally got up and moved to back edge away from all the coughing. Joanna- Suites Manager Jarred - Documentation Manager

Amuse-bouche - 10+ Smoked Potato Soup - sorry I had ground pepper before photo. Was ok but was on the cool side. Iain had the Kids' Petite Filet - Kumar did bring a second for the table. Grill Veal Chop Egg Plant Parmesan - 10+ One of my favorites. It mostly didn't disappoint except it was a little cool in the center. This seems to be a consistent. Surf and Turf - Scallops and Pork Belly - 5- Would be good if pork belly rendered down and crispy. Like eating a glob of fat. It was another unordered item Kumar dropped off for the table. Chocolate Soufflé

lunch. I had a modified Luminae Burge. Blue Cheese instead of cheddar. Iain had the new Campero de Polo Chicken on pita with a fried egg. Said it was real good. New Poached Red Wine Pear in red wine reduction. Yum.

The incredible Assistant Waiter Wadsy in Retreat She has an infectious smile.

They have sailed Celebrity before and recently hit Elite. While they are enjoying themselves an see many differences, like Entertainment, Casino etc they prefer the small ship concept better. I'm starting to feel that the Edge Class ships are just too big for us. Edge seems to be struggling with so many passengers and attention to detail. I continue to have the feeling that the Retreat is more like an airport lounge instead of more intimate lounge like on M and Class

I was very respectful and corralled our rather large group in a empty area. The staff were gteat and were even offering drinks and snacks.

Laughing also..... Must say some of the full figured women on the excursions shouldn't wear lycra either.

Looking forward. I can tell already on the ship that the temperatures are raising. I was just reading that the temperatures are being driven by the approaching Cyclone Jasper. Glad we slipped through when we did.

Personally I would not be too concerned. As other's said the security system on the ships camera network record EVERYTHING. 6 months ago on Silhouette I lost a puffer at the Security Scanner. It was never turned in. The Suites Manager contacted security and next day it was in my room. Where it had been I have no idea but hadn't been turned into the front desk. The level of honesty is incredible. On Edge World Cruise I have seen over a dozen posts from people who have lost gold earrings, cell phones, cell phones and more cell phones - All have reported them being turned in and were able to be reunited.

Yes.. push / pull. We now have the cash and some really nice thank you notes and envelopes we can write their names on it so they can keep.

You will have to do a live and post a link to in on Celebrity as a Comparison. Would be interested to have a good idea of what they offer.

Now that truly is Flattery ---

Finally great information. Now the mystery of why they took it out of operation... then will it be back?

Can't wait. Weather foretasted to be 101 F (38 C) on Saturday turn around day. Will be nice to head to cooler weather.

Don't they do a great job. Just stand by - they continue up until Xmas Day. Ginger bread houses, trains -

You're my type of girl. When we were recently de-cluttering I passed on my Collection of Waterford 12 Days of Christmas I sent my mother over a decade period of time, to my Daughter in Law. She loves them. Mom of course asked me to take them home before she passed. They have wonderful memories.

You need a cruise on Virgin Cruises --- no children. Thanks for your dedication you make such a contribution and difference.

Jenny ---you can only imagine Willie (I'm sure he is one of the pix) Robert of course looked fantastic. - He had to request a one 2x larger than the one they first gave him. MAMIL should never wear Lycra but Sting Suits are an exception. The hell with the look.

You bet. No black tie for sure. Some time I will have to post Iain's little yellow ducky cuff links. He forgot them on this trip.

Yes in full swing I hear. The next is reported to have 200-350 children depending on who you talk to and the next Cruise December 21 which is Xmas and New Years is of course fully booked and 500+ children.
