I did a lot of research on this because I thought it was a good thing and for some it may be. For me and because one of the regulations of the Aarp card is that you cannot be in a group booking, it will not work for me. Since my TA always puts me in a group and I get that group discount, I will be happy with that perk. smooth sailing

Greetings from New Jersey! Weather here has been ideal with unusual low humidity most of the time. We re great, thanks. Any chance you will stay on board after Hawaii? That may be in a future plan for us. Regards to you and Marcia, Mark

Hey David, did I read somewhere you are going to Bermuda next? If so can you say when? Randi and I are on the June 21 sailing. Perhaps you and the Mrs are too. Best Mark

Thank you I was under the misconception that Murano was one of the four MDR restaurants. I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION.

Thanks for the the cheese update on E Now I know when we are on E Ascent for the first time in Nov. Other then cheese, is the ambiance in Murano as nice as on S class?

With regard to the cheese cart in Murano, and with Murano being one of 4 MDR restaurants on E class, it the cheese cart part of the E class dining experience in Murano? thanks

Anybody know the Hotel Director on board?

actually it is an interesting look

Thanks for the additional information of your take on EC. . Q, was the shot of the statue taken with a filter?

Word of advice, If you are using an insulin pump you should ask for a pat down and avoid the x-ray machine, As far as the CGM, check with manufacturer.

There are many older reviews but has anyone stayed recently and can share some thoughts. Is it still "dated?" TY

Luminae does not require a seating time. When you are hungry walkup to the Matre'd and ask to be seated, Usually there is no wait; sometimes there is a small wait.

Welcome to Celebrity. Here are menus from about a year ago Here are photos of Cafe Al Bacio menu as of February 2023

That very well may be true, beach lover, but I’m hoping that somebody’s been on eclipse recently, can say yay or nay definitively

This article mentions that the Solstice deck has been converted to the Retreat sundeck. Is that no true? https://www.cruisemapper.com/deckplans/Celebrity-Eclipse-631/deck16-564

Just saying, I remember the days when at the end of the cruise you would put in the full amount in cash plus more if you wanted in an envelope and hand it to each individual person that help you out. Today’s times are different

In past, 10 years ago+, you would give an amount to the chief housekeeper. Now, I always ask for the same wait staff each cruise. That works out well for us and them. Of course I can understand the alternative’s benefits

David. Hope all is well and thanks. That is what I was looking for. Randi interpolated the numbers for today’s rates. So we are good. thanks everybody for your help

Hi Rich you have been cruising for a while. you probably remember when they would pass out envelopes and suggest tip numbers per crew if that is no longer available I will automatically tip as suggested

Do you know the breakdown?

until this time when we had pre paid tips we would always give extra to crewmembers. Now we want to give the standard, plus what we give extra, that is why I needed the BASE gratuity for each,

Yes I understand it is 23 pp/day What I am looking for is on a 7 day cruise what do I give the waiter, asst waiter, butler stateroom attendant and so on for the duration of the cruise that would equal to the 46 per cabin/day

Thanks LY Yes, I’m looking for the daily rate breakdown per crewmember if you’re in a suite on Celebrity cruises. The suggested gratuity policy per person

Hello all. For the first time in a long time, my gratuities are not being prepaid. So I would like to revert to the old method of placing money in envelopes, but I don’t know the current breakdown for crewmembers. For example, we are in a suite and don’t know the daily rate for the Butler or the waiter, etc. If anybody knows what the current individual dollar rates are, I would love to get your feedback. Thanks in advance.

KEYS Hey David, Talking about the Keys and diving, ever been to Dry Tortuga Nat. Park?
