Upgrading the included Classic Bevy to Premium worth it?
Reel Love replied to KristyMisty14's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Cannot help with who X contracts to for the Celebrity branded wine but can share my opinion that I personally do not care for it. Only a couple of the premium wines they carry onboard that I like. We were lucky to be able to just recently bring on two bottles of wine per person (read on these boards that this policy is changing back to one bottle per person at the beginning of July). We are from the Niagara region in Ontario which has many wineries so were fortunate to be able to bring some of our personal local favourites onboard to enjoy. -
LIVE from Equinox (June 24, 2023), sailing on a budget
Reel Love replied to AbbyCruiser45's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Wow! Congratulations on reaching all of these fabulous milestones!!!! 😊 We just disembarked the Equinox on Sunday and the service was excellent as well as the food was better than expected in the main dining room.....out of eight nights only one person in our group of seven found one meal subpar on one evening only (I was not sure what to expect given recent comments about cutbacks. Oops seven nights....we dined in Tuscan Grille one evening). Echoing other CC member's comments as to how wonderful the ABC islands are. Have an absolutely fabulous cruise and thank you for taking us along! -
Recent 8 Day Cruise on Equinox to the Carribean
Reel Love replied to Frenchkona's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Frenchkona, we also were on this cruise and simply chiming in agreement with your comments about what a wonderful cruise this was overall! We found that service on this cruise was some of the best that we have experienced on any of our X sailings (we were Deck 8 mid-ship). -
Has The Wine Allowance At Embarkation in USA Changed
Reel Love replied to helen haywood's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I can share that we boarded on June 10 from Port Everglades and each person in each couple brought aboard two bottles. I think I recall reading from someone posting on these boards that the folks in security/screening are not Celebrity staff? Therefore may be unaware of different policies for different lines so I printed out the most recent page I could find that stated two bottles per person for Celebrity to produce just in case. Only one person in our group was politely questioned and he simply stated he had two bottles and continued on through the screening. Proof did not need to be presented. -
Hello chemmo. Thank you for the well wishes for a great cruise! Just returned from a fabulous time on the Equinox (sorry for the late response .... I totally disconnect while onboard). You were 100% on the mark!! The Sky Lounge was up and running for the second night of silent disco by mid-way through the cruise like there was never an issue!! 🙂
-
Oh no, lol. We board tomorrow and love the Sky Lounge. Two other couples who have never sailed Celebrity (one couple has never sailed before at all) are coming with us and I have been telling them how much we love the Sky Lounge and dancing there late into the night. Oh well....this falls into the category of "worse things in life!" 😄 Who knows, maybe it will be fixed and all cleaned up before our cruise is over. Hope you had a great cruise!
-
Oh wow! I have never heard of that before!!! I request a water every time I order an alcoholic beverage so I'm sure that on a sea day I have "ordered" quite a few drinks in total. Hope this isn't the case of having a limit when we are on the Equinox in June.
-
Oh my gosh Jim, as usual your pictures are all fabulous!!! (for some reason I always love the pics of doors that you post). Like everyone else here, am thoroughly enjoying following along. 😊 Continue to enjoy your cruise and looking forward to continuing to cruise vicariously through you and Iain until it's my turn to head to FLL and sail lol
-
Oh my gosh....just found your thread and enjoying it immensely. Am so looking forward to following along! You have a great, easy going writing style (despite the stress you have experienced the last few days to get to this point lol). Have a fabulous cruise!!!! 😊
-
Oh my gosh Charla! Truly LOVE the pics of the last couple of dresses that you have posted! You have an absolutely wonderful sense of style!!! Thank you so much for posting the website a couple of pages back for the "green leaf dress" .... may end up copying you on that dress for my upcoming June cruise on Equinox. Hope the rest of your cruise continues to be fabulous 😊
-
I'm sure many of us are following along and enjoying as evidenced by the terrific number of "views" that your thread has 😊 I am simply one of those people who click "like" but don't comment very often, however please know that I for one am very much enjoying your review and photos! Some of your sunset photos are absolutely stunning.....fabulous job!

LIVE 47 Days 3 Ships Caribbean Escape January 30th - March 20th!
Reel Love replied to countess5's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thank you so much for a terrific 47 day cruise review!! It was so generous of you to take the time to share your fabulous journey with us and it is very much appreciated 🙂 Btw....that last sunset photo you shared was absolutely stunning!!! Safe travels home. -
My suggestion would be to have a friendly chat with one of the camp counsellors the first time you take your kids to the camp to explain what you described above and I'm sure they would do their best to try to accommodate a calm area for them if there are a lot of kids running and yelling. My son has special needs (Down Syndrome) as does the daughter of a good friend who we cruise with and our kids can be a bit apprehensive in new situations. We simply spent a few minutes talking with one of the counsellors our first time there and found them to be quite responsive to our kid's needs, and they ended up having a great time!

Can You Combine CC Tier Discounts w/Onboard Sales?
Reel Love replied to Reel Love's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thank you so much folks! Have not cruised since just before the shutdown so a little rusty/memory is not so great on how this works coming up on our first cruise in over three years. Truly appreciate the input 😊 -

Can You Combine CC Tier Discounts w/Onboard Sales?
Reel Love replied to Reel Love's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thank you so much Jim and Jelayne. -
My apologies in advance for what might be a rather silly question to many of you, however a search on the CC search bar did not provide an answer. If I want to book a spa service/massage onboard and there is a sale or a discounted price on a port day (don't even know if they offer that but hoping they do lol), am I allowed to also receive my tier status discount on top of a "special" onboard spa offer? Thank you to folks who can offer some insight.

Reel Love replied to countess5's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It is "March Break" in Ontario so I'm sure some Canadian kids are included in that total of 500 lol. Btw thank you for all of your great photos! -

Reel Love replied to cgolf1's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thank you so much cgolf1 for taking the time to bring us along to share your cruise! Really enjoyed following along and appreciate the photos 😊 -
WOOHOO!!!!!! 😃 So thrilled for you that you made it.....what an (unexpected/unwanted) adventure!!! I'm sure there are many of us on here on CC who are collectively exhaling now from holding our breath following along for the last several hours lol. And you certainly handled it with grace!! Enjoy your very well-earned martini (or two or three or four!). 🍸

Toasted Head is a very nice "buttery" Chardonnay, but my apologies as I cannot recall if it is screw top or not.
