The Wife booked B2B DCL cruises for 2025 yesterday.

On the Treasure? 

Any opinions on the Marriott Renaissance Boston waterfront hotel?

Who was your Butler? We had Sini - he seemed a little stressed at times, which made me stressed 😞 but he was nice and pretty good.

Izzy - He was very good.  Kept the wine fridge and the other well stocked.  Brought shrimp, cheese & crackers every afternoon.  Was constantly checking to see if we needed anything.  
 

We asked for loungers instead on the verandah and they showed up immediately.  A little crowded then, but not bad.  But I too miss the rattan loungers 😕

Our Sommelier in Luminae was Vanieeth. 

We were on the Southern cruise right before yours, also in a Royal.  Vineeth was the best sommelier we’ve ever had on a Celebrity ship! 
Our entire dining team in Luminae was superb.

World Class Bar is our favorite! Don’t tell the others😆

Have you tried the new menu?  I am disappointed to see a couple of my favorites missing from that menu! 

Very much looking forward to reading … Your reviews are the best!   Thanks for posting here to let us know it’s up. 

bnurick, Thanks so much for this thread! Love following along 😀

"Have a magical day"...you sound like a Disney Cast Member 😉  

Hahaha! 
That was my very first thought too! 
 

My daughter was a CM so we heard that a lot! 

Naples---Definitely the place for lemoncello and cameos. We bought 3 of the large bottles for us at 8 euro a piece and were able to get some 12oz bottles as gifts for 3 euros. I also got these little dried herb & spice packages to make different pasta sauces for 1 euro a piece. They I loved them!! The were yummy! Wish I got more.

 

Florence---Olive oil

You must ship these back home in your checked luggage, right? Do the little shops wrap them in some type of *secure* wrapping or do you bring your own?

This is a great topic! We are on our first Med cruise next month so I'm interested to see what's mentioned.

I was in Sorrento and came across a shop selling limoncello, creme de limoncello and these little yellowish green limoncello candy covered nuts. The candies were so good

Looking forward to getting limoncello :) How is the creme de limoncello? The candy sounds good ~ hope I can find it too. Sorrento sounds like a wonderful town.
