Just curious for E class which of the MDRs is the lunch held?

The reason why the menus show only dessert or in some cases kids menu is because the old menu has been deleted and will be added closer to your cruise, sometimes it posts below the desserts so be sure to scroll down. It is not a glitch.

Ok, thank you. I will make sure we receive our coupon for it.

It looks like E3 is partially obstructed

I did this excursion with Princess a few years ago, I didn’t know what I was in for. We didn’t get on the ferry until about 12:30pm (tour started around 9am, we drove around for a bit) and the tour guide told us that he’d pick us up around 5pm once we cleared the canal. Problem is sail away from Colon was 5pm. Oh not to worry he told us the cruise line was aware of this. Ok fabulous, would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Yes they did wait for us and we got back at 6:30pm to sail away around 7pm but I was not comfortable with this at all. What if the bus broke down? How much more wiggle room was left? Anyway the ferry was long, hot, cramped and ultimately not worth it imo. Going through the locks is interesting and all but not for nearly 5 hours of it. On a previous trip to the canal I found it much more interesting to stand and watch the ships go through the locks. Bathroom was fine. There’s no building to wait for the ferry, the bus doesn’t drop you off until it’s ready, it was just a dirt road and a grassy area. In my experience anyway. Not my favorite excursion but I time out right at 4 hours on most excursions so your experience might differ but it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had.

I’d it’s that significant and you haven’t made the final payment is it worth it to completely cancel and create a new booking using the Exciting Deals offer?

Or give away free warm cookies at the gelato counter would certainly increase gelato sales. It’s an underutilized space, anything to draw people there and give them incentive to pay up for a $6+ cup of gelato is real marketing.

Anything about laundry still irritates me that I was told on the Equinox over New Years that there was no such thing as a bag of laundry or the laundry challenge and that laundry could only be done a la carte so I don’t exactly trust what the situation is going to be on every ship moving forward. I have pre purchased a $39 bag from the flash sale and hopefully this is honored without much fuss. What do you do, write already paid on the item list?

Celebrity is not strict about dining times. I have seen people with a reservation wait in a longer line to get served than people who don’t have one. If a reservation gives you peace of mind then make one but I have never seen a need for them. So if you have anytime dining there is nothing to worry about, if you go when they are slammed there might be a little bit of a wait but that’s the worst that will happen.

I would caution against taking much of what a phone rep says seriously about how things work on the ship. They’ve been proven to be very unreliable.

They will deliver a plate of what to you later? I’ve never heard of that, or are you a suite guest?

Thank you and appreciate your detailed review!

Sorry for the bump but I found your review and have a couple questions as I’m doing the sailing in reverse soon. I have read very little about the passport collecting in Tahiti. How is this done? How do they ensure safety of these important documents? How do they get returned to you? We are booked for the same Raiatea excursion. It’s marked strenuous, I can’t imagine there was anything strenuous about this excursion, no? Is there shopping at the pearl farm? What are the prices if so? Can you buy just one pearl? is there anything at the Moorea pier? Any shopping at all? I’d prefer not to have to “walk into town” for just a basic souvineer. Did the menus repeat over the 18 nights for dinner?

There’s a special offers tab in your app under the dining section. There you can see what the ship generally offers but for your particular sailing you’ll have to wait until the real menus and activities load is how I understand it. Every ship is a bit different and some offer the one off things and some don’t.

I booked the $2.99 upgrade a few hours ago. I thought $4.99 a month ago was a great deal. I’m learning it pretty much is worth it to check every sale, some pricing is nonsense and some in a good way.

There are threads on here that explain that if the cruise is already paid for two and the second person just never shows up nothing happens to the single person on the cruise.

I can’t imagine paying the per day price to get premium would outweigh just buying whatever non-included sodas a la carte would be if one isn’t interested in drinking upgraded alcohol.

It’s for a cruise on Oct 1 which might be why it’s so cheap. I booked All Included yes, so this is the price on top of my included basic. I think premium wifi outright is $14.99 currently. I have never had celebrity’s basic and was going to check it out first on the upcoming sailing but at $2.99 I’m taking that deal now. Premium works well for me, I can basically use the internet like I do normally at home, watch shows and I like to stream a few hockey games which I was successful in doing.

Holy cow, I just checked and my sailing is offering $2.99 upgrade to premium wifi

Hello, I am on this sailing too! Stop by the roll call if you haven’t already. If you had to pick one I’d take Tuscan Grill but they each have their perks. We are doing Tuscan and Murano. I’m saving Sushi on 5 for emergency purposes, the fact you can get in at lunch as well means not really a must to plan that one ahead. There also is apparently a Murano lunch on our sailing which could be another option. Eating in the MDR 15+ times I definitely hear you on fear of burnout.

The “Timeless” section of this menu is the giveaway that this menu does not exist anymore.

About a month ago the upgrade from classic to premium was at $9.99 per day so it does happen.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the kids menu, even on the app. Where do you find it?

Makes sense, must have been the cruise right after ours. I’m glad we got the perks when we did but I don’t see us paying for Aqua again.

Wow, we were in Aqua on the Equinox over New Years and got the canapés! I was also told they stopped the tea, I was bummed out because I love iced tea and was really looking forward to that perk. I was also told NO BAG of laundry existed anymore and that laundry was only a la carte, either this was another lie or temporary change. We also had the expanded FREE room service menu, I ordered an omelette. I guess that was changed right after we left too.
