If you don’t have anything nice to say…. Well you know the rest (if you were brought up right).

I’m sure glad I wasn’t playing a drinking game and the key word was ‘excited’!

Thank you Cruisestitch! I’ve had the Kale Martini and it is delicious!

How can I find the bar menus on the Connie for 2024? I have searched but I can’t find anything online but menus for other Celebrity ships. Thank you for any help

Sorry but it is a cheesy gesture. And I say boo to it.

$6.99 to upgrade! 12 night cruise we got a $280 refund!!

I had a 5 night package on a 9 night cruise and boarded the Beyond early. I went straight to the specialty restaurant desk and they said I couldn’t book Eden and Fine Cut was available 1 night at 5:30. I left my room number and told them if I couldn’t book Eden and Fine Cut was not available for after 8:00 to please cancel my whole dining package. I got an alert on the app 1/2 hour later Eden was suddenly available and Fine Cut at 8:30.

They didn’t have half the wines on the list before 2020 so it can’t be blamed on that.

Actually the wine list is fantastic! It would be even better if they had any of the wines on the list!

Not really surprising as Celebrity, who always brags as having the best wine list at sea, never has the wine on that list. The list is great but not actually having any of the wines on said list is not great!

Davina was my first MSC. I enjoyed going to the back of the ship from meals. At dinner we stopped at our favorite bar for Smokey cocktails and you’re right about the walk back. It was needed! Enjoy your cruises! I will be trying a Hal soon with friends and am looking forward to it.

But the food, atmosphere and entertainment are what makes MSC MSC and my new cruise line. For the first time ever I have 2 Celebrity cruises booked and 3 MSC.

But the entertainment is far better than Celebrity IMHO.

I have found the butler also helped in the SS and was always there. January on the Ascent will be my first suite since the new changes so I shall see what I shall see!

I think Aureau guests dine in the MDR but in a separate area and it is anytime dining.

Actually this American cruiser was disappointed they are Americanizing the ship. I liked MSC for it being different than all other ships sailing from the US, I like the European feel. I’m afraid they will ruin this one. I am on the May 3rd sailing.

You can use the diamond perk for lunch. That is what we did in the Asian marketplace and it was excellent.

Our first Celebrity cruise was in May of 2001 on the Horizon. The seas were so rough people flew home from Bermuda. We loved it and it rained every day but 2! We also paid $35 each for our Founders Club and at some point got OBC and 5 points which made me Elite. I still have my CC card.

The fabulous Celebrity Mercury was and will always be the best ship in the fleet. They will never match that crew (who all came back to it after vacation). On the last cruise the Captain and Hotel Director cried onstage because the crew was breaking up. I met lifelong friends in the elite lounge that I still sail with today. Sadly those days of crew being like family coming back to the same ship after vacation are gone. I have sailed almost every ship in the fleet and nothing has come close to the Mercury. Oh and we weren’t nickeled and dimed either.

Luckily I have an old Boleros drink menu that I can take a picture of. Thank you for posting all the drinks, I have added some to my cocktail album on my phone!

Have they gotten rid of all drinks with jalapeños and cayenne dusted green apples? I’ll be very disappointed as Boleros use to make great drinks.

Steak Tartare! And BBQ Chilean Sea Bass!

There’s a thing called ‘scroll on by”. Try it you’ll like it!

I miss everything about RI. NY Systems, pizza strips, dels and great cold water seafood! My husband loves Fla for fishing year round but I don’t love it even a little.
