  1. I don't believe there is a restriction. We just place our bags by the bus and tell the driver what airline we are traveling. Never had an issue. They will often ask if the carryon can be placed with the other cargo.
  2. If there is one restaurant to pay extra to dine in, it is Eden on the Beyond. It was a zoo at the buffet around noon time. People were cutting in lines. So bad that I started to go towards the end of lunch to avoid the chaos. And there are other options available. The shows in the theater were packed and if you wanted a decent seat, get there about 20 minutes earlier at the latest. The production shows were top notch. Great special effects. I did not think I would like the Infinite Veranda. It was fine. The room seemed bigger and less cramped. There was no problem with the air conditioning.
  3. The "lobster' is the tasteless warm water lobster. You have to ask for melted butter to give it some taste. Won't eat a second but have been offered numerous times.
  4. I sail Aqua and the last couple of cruises, I received gray holders. Used to be dark blue. I love them.
  5. How can people focus on a point when there will be a new Celebrity sale in about 6 hours? 😀
  6. The answer for me was YES. There must be another cabin in the identical category as the GTY. And you have to hope that your cabin is assigned so that you have time to do make a change. Our Celebrity agent suggested we book a guarantee as there was a huge inventory and that on this sailing, the cabin assignment came within days. That was the case and the agent moved us to a more desirable location. Good luck!
  7. Blu is not a specialty restaurant. If you want to be guaranteed to dine in Blu with family, then stay in Aqua Class. If you are with a larger group, the options for seating are limited in Blu which could complicate things for you.
  8. Yes, he is the best. A really classy gentleman. Besides the Lobster Murano, the Chateaubriand for 2 is outstanding.
  9. Easy answer, Go to Murano. We dine in Murano for birthdays and have not regretted it. The service is outstanding as is the food. It is a special night. Relaxed atmosphere and rather intimate. A great place to celebrate a special occasion. I disagree with those who say Luminae is the best restaurant on the ship.
  10. I was told by a physician that ankles and fingers swell is due to the increased humidity and change in atmospheric pressure when visiting Florida. It happens to me all the time when I visit Florida, especially in the Winter months. Has nothing to do with the hotel's or ship's water.
  11. On our cruise on Beyond, the Nova Scotia Lobster Casserole on Eden's menu did not appear on the app. We were very concerned but it was on the menu when we cruised. Delicious.
  12. On the Beyond, it was Anytime dining. We were told to show up when we wanted to have dinner. You can alternate dining rooms to experience different decors.
  13. I second the recommendation that you take a tour of the facilities and then book a day pass if it is of interest to you. The Persian Garden is available at no cost to those in Aqua Class. It tends to be busier on sea days. We do enjoy the facilities and make use of them.
  14. Also, do you like to dine around 9 pm? Those were times offered to us. If you want a day and time that you prefer, pay the difference and book early online for the restaurant of your choice. On our cruise in February, the cost of the package of 3 restaurants is $152. The cost of purchasing the 3 Specialty Restaurant we want to go to is $154 in which we can choose the day and time. Easy decision to make.
  15. I agree. The water out of the faucet and at dispensers tastes better than many municipal water sources. Especially water I have tried to drink out of the tap in Florida. Initially, I was apprehensive but no longer.
  16. The spas on the E-class are really special and worth visiting. It is worthwhile to go on a tour of the facilities and learn about the various rooms.
  17. We had received an email with a menu of fitness items we could order. Among them were mats, bands, weights, fitness balls, etc.
  18. Tried the Dover sole and was disappointed. Not much taste. But I am fussy about the taste of fish.
  19. The cans are 16 oz. and it is a twist off. Difficult for those with arthritis . Some cruisers bring a rubber gripper or ask for assistance.
  20. One piece of meat is cut before you. We usually ask for medium rare. I imagine one person could have the ends which are more well done than the middle portion. Our favorite dish there in Murano.
  21. I have seen an Aqua Class Guarantee with no perks. Maybe you get the room under the treadmill...😀 The price was great.
  22. In discussing the quality of the Internet, they consistently told me that they wait until we are in a port and they use shore based Internet for reliable service.
  23. I have been able to combine Elite discounts and pre-cruise sales on such upgrades. Just ask when you call.
  24. Pina coladas have always been covered and were covered this past Spring as well.
  25. At one time, you were allowed to help the Chef cook your own steaks. I gained tips on cooking steaks from an expert. That was a fun experience. Plus, you got to eat outside and hoped it was not too windy.
