You'll have to zoom but this should give you and idea of some of the selections.  I cannot confirm that everything you see is included but I was drinking only mixed drinks. 

 

 This was from the Miillennium in May of this year. 

 

 

Thank you for this! I'm new to celebrity, and my first cruise is on the reflection, but if this bar has Whistlepig, Bulleit, Angles Envy, Woodford and Eagle Rare? I'm going to be very happy. And is that a Diplomatico rum I see or do my eyes deceive me? Oh yes, very happy. 

Thank you so much for all of the work you've done putting together these lives. I've just discovered these boards and have been going crazy reading all the content.

I want to thank you @GenerationX personally, because of you I managed to upgrade to a suite on the reflection for my birthday cruise in October! You made it look so good I started playing with the numbers - all in all it cost only 160 bucks to upgrade! That's a no brainer! 

Keep it up, love your content!

I'd like to say thank you as well @81Zoomie . This was a fascinating read! Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated and for all of the pictures. I can't imagine how amazing it would be in person!

Yes, it is.

 

The last years, we've only done buffet for dinner, to the point that we got a call from the Concierge, asking us "why you don't show up for dinner"?

 

I've told her that we don't like spending so much time at dinner, which sometimes takes "forever".

 

She asked us to give them a "chance"... so we went at "lobster night", and she came along to make sure we'll be "out" quickly 😁😁

Oof, they give you grief for not going? Hah, it's hard enough for me to talk to you nice internet strangers, I certainly don't want to sit with new people and eat dinner. Plus, honestly, it takes so long and I have other stuff I need to be doing. (Ok, that "stuff" might be trying out new cocktails, but that's still a thing to do!)

I think I'll just tell my concierge we're not into it early on. Maybe that will quiet it down. Not sure why they'd need to push it though.

No it’s not unreasonable to just hit the buffet for dinner. We have done a number of B2B cruises where on the second cruise we tire of the menu or just the amount of time it takes in the dining room so we will go to the buffet. Sometimes we have had an all day excursion so we do not want to take the time to get dressed up for dinner.  We actually enjoy the slower pace and the lack of crowds at the buffet. It’s a different experience from breakfast and lunch. 

Thank you! I was curious because on Disney they don't really have much choice. Seemed like every time I tried to go to the buffet, it was closed. I'm just excited it'll actually be open for dinner! Leaves more time to explore that drink package! 

Plus, frankly, I hate dressing up.

@Lena11033 my post is completely off topic but just had to share. I have seen you around the boards for a long time talking about your trips, your job, experiences and providing valuable feedback to others. I know you travel solo a lot. I just assumed your picture was you and your husband. Thought you were married to a hunky Canadian lumberjack! Just today, I accidentally tapped your pic while scrolling and realized that it was Jason Momoa! I couldn’t stop laughing at how I never realized that… sorry, please resume your most excellent report.

Not going to lie, I thought the same thing for a long time! I'm still new to the boards and have been gobbling up live reports, thank you all for doing them. I especially love the pictures! They really help me get in the mood to cruise!

Question though, to those of you who have sailed Celebrity many times, (I have only done Disney) is it reasonable to just hit the buffet every night instead of the main dining room? I have no desire to dress up unless I tried specialty, nor do I want to be in that massive two story room or to be sitting with other people. I'd rather grab something quick and then do something fun, not waiting for meals!
