Qld13

If you are Gold you get "INCLUDED - Unlimited WiFi with four log-ins, for up to four devices" as per the Regent Seven Seas Society Benefits, regardless of what suite type you are in.

Thank you for your input. we have now paid the deposit and booked our flights to Sydney so no turning back. From what everyone has said, I am sure we will enjoy ourselves.

Thank you everyone. At least we can go into this with our eyes open!! Looking forward to November.

Hi Thank you for all the replies, very helpful. We just thought we would try something different closer to home. Am I correct in assuming that the "Celebrity Signature Dry Age" section of the menu in Fine Cut is an additional charge to the charge you have paid to get in?

Also does anyone know the cost of the speciality restaurants? Can't find anything on the Celebrity website except sample menus.

Great, thank you for your input.

Hi We are looking at doing a Celebrity cruise in November from Sydney to New Zealand roundtrip on Edge. We have cruised before on Regent, Silversea and Seabourn. Not cruised with Celebrity since the 90's. We have decided on an Aqua Sky Suite which will give us the Retreat. Looking forward to it but a bit nervous that right decision has been made!! Would like to hear about the Celebrity experience in the Retreat, any hints and tips we need to know to make the most of our "new" experience. Does the premium drinks package include French Champagne, it mentions Champagne but there are so many "champagnes" out there but not real French. What brand do they use? Should we do a dining package or wait until onboard? Never cruised to New Zealand, only been in Caribbean and Med before, what should we expect with crossing from Sydney to NZ? Being the size it is, does the ship feel crowded? Only been on maximum 700 passengers before. Thanks in advance

Hi There is no way to activate the TV to do it, you can't access the settings section or main menu of the TV. We were on Grandeur in Jan/Feb and as an experiment I took a Samsung remote control with me in the hope that I could access the input section so I could link my MacBook but even that did not work. System seems pretty tightly shut to just Regent system.

Grandeur Lounge last night Observation Lounge

Annoyed that the “sweepstake” competition is only open to Americans!!!

On Grandeur at the moment and I’m sure they have Lyre’s NA Gin in all bars

Hi Unless anything has changed since our last Regent cruise, you don't need to turn on airplane mode. If you take photos using your iPhone camera it won't be able to geo-tag the photos with a location so you won't know where they are taken. Airplane mode turns off the GPS chip. Turn off Mobile (Settings - Mobile - Mobile Data) so you don't get charged roaming. Then make sure WiFi is on and connect to the ships network. This is how I have done it on our past Regent cruises.

You will love Splendor, we were on it last Jan/Feb. Specialty restaurants are Prime 7 (Steakhouse) Chartreuse (French) and Pacific Rim (Asian) you need reservations for all. All are very good so just depends on whether you like the style of food they offer. The other "specialty" is Sette Mari which is Italian and works on a first come basis, it is one side of La Veranda. The main dining room is Compass Rose and that is also very good.

As kj says a delicious monstrosity!! No one on Explorer or Splendor at the moment that would be keen to ask!! Otherwise will have to wait until January on Grandeur!!

Hi Can anyone confirm if the cheese cart is really back in Chartreuse!! Thanks in advance
