Thanks for the photos, only wish they were larger!!
Did you have a separate tub and shower?
-
Celebrity's website says you can enjoy their entire selection of beer, wine and spirits up to $12 per serving.
Anything over $12 you pay the difference.
-
That's too bad. It felt so decadent soaking in the tub, glass of wine in hand, while at sea. It is quite a step up to get into the tub, I agree. The shower is awfully nice, and roomy, too.

Thanks for posting these Barb. So glad I was able to get 6145 again; looks better than ever!! Wish they had loungers on the balcony though. Did you ask for them?

Your friend is correct. Lobster is on the menu for one formal night in the MDR which does require formal attire on that evening. Lobster is also offered on the 2nd formal night in Blu if you are staying in an Aquaclass cabin. Blu's dress code is always smart casual or above. (it was excellent!)
Lobster is also offered nightly at the specialty restaurant Murano. There is a $40 pp charge in the specialty restaurants. Dress code is also smart casual or above there.

Yes, the evening menu is posted outside:
I really wouldn't characterize Blu as low-calorie/light dining and I never left feeling hungry! The nice thing is, you have the flexibility to order 2 appetizers if you wish, soup and salad, an entree as an appetizer sized portion, etc. There are plenty of meat and game choices; as I recall only one seafood option per night.
Only you can decide if you like it, and really only by trying it yourself....tastes vary.

Did both Qsine and Tuscan Grille in Eclipse. we were definitely wowed by Qsine and have already booked it for our Summit cruise. Liked TG, especially the decor and service but wasn't as impressed by the overall experience. Good was definitely good (and the creme brûlée was divine) just not as unique.
we ate the other 5 nights in Blu which was fantastic on all counts - food , service and ambiance.
Ai think e could have eaten at Blu happily all 7 nights but we wanted to try some of the specialty restaurants. The dining experrience is a big part if our cruise and we don't mind paying extra for the variety.

Another thing to consider when booking the packages. The first day of the cruise you are only on the ship part of the day. There are glasses of champagne when you board. Your use of the package might be much lower than on following days.
It might be worth considering signing up for the package on board starting the second day.
We got our money's worth on day 1. Started with wine, sparking water and cappucinos to accompany our delicious lunch at Bistro on 5. Martini Bar was open so we stopped there, followed by drinks at Sailaway at Sunset Bar, pre-dinner cocktail, wines with dinner and drinks at show. About the only thing we missed were the a.m. Cappucinos.

Thanks for the reply....no such thing as too much detail IMO.

I just got off the Summit yesterday. I did not have any alcoholic package and used my SeaPass card every night in the machine to get my "pre-dinner" glass of wine. It was very easy. It just charges your account like any other bar. The only problem is no receipt is given so you just have to watch your account online.
Hi,
How did you enjoy Summit? Did they serve tapas in Cellarmasters?
-
At Cellarmasters, they have a wine by the glass list. DH had a port that was over the $12 package price and they just gave it to him anyway. He was quite happy with that.
-
Really? I'm a complete beer snob (DH and I take 3-5 beercations a year) and I was impressed by the list. Maybe I'm just used to the utter swill served on Royal Caribbean, aside from when they brewed their own Belgian a few years back. I will happily quaff DFH, Stone or Hitachino rather than Corona or Red Stripe. The pricing is about what I expect on a ship and most of the truly expensive bottles are 750ml.
I suppose they can't please everyone, but they got our booking because of the beer!
DH said the same thing. He would have gone on the cruise anyway but this is a nice bonus for him!

Greetings
Michael's club had a selection of single malts. I have seen the Michaels spirits menu posted on various threads, but I don't have it bookmarked.
Good Sailing
Tom
Here's the Michaels menu from Silhouette. I expect the menu would be similar on all ships featuring the new concept:
-
We generally tipped $1 US per drink.
-
Wonderful addition to our collection of helpful information. Thanks!
Which Summit sailing are you booked on Sloop-John.
-
Here's the list posted n the wonderful website Beyondships. It certainly meets DHs approval and he can't wait to try many of these beers on Summit.

[quote name='jveevers']Get a drink, go around the corner, pass it to husband who takes it to your cabin, go back around the corner and get another. Nothing dishonest, you will be drinking both.
Of course the above could also happen and you have 1 drink each. But most of us are honest.[/QUOTE]
I do think you will cause suspicion, as the computer system tracks exactly how often you order drinks. One of the priceless benefits of the package IMO, is that it allows you to relax and enjoy a variety of beverages. Your plan sounds rather stressful! -
As I,m going to be in cabin 6209 3/4 I,m going to ask my stateroom attendent for one of those footstools!! Wish me luck..
Well, if you have lots of room in your luggage you could bring folding camping stools to serve as footrests. I think they also make blow up footrests too!

There is also a "sticky" at top of page where someone keeps track of comments about the S-class cabins and displays on a spreadsheet. So you can look up cabin numbers and read positive and negative comments.
Here's a link to the latest spreadsheet update that I compiled.

I am quite sure this has be discussed and discussed, but what are premium coffees in the non alcoholic package. Are those the ones you get in the coffee bar? My DH likes the teas they have.
All nonalcoholic drinks they serve at Cafe al Bacio are included. I think the herbal teas are $4 if you are paying.
-
I was just thinking the exact same thing!
We find that the more cruises we take, the less stuff we bring along.
Sorry to disagree, but the power strip is really important, especially if you are trying to charge multiple electronic devices!
-
The most practical item we bring is a foldable shoe bag, with space for 20 or so pockets
We put all our shoes, sandals etc in this over the door material shoe holder (from the dollar store)
We also throw any other item that can be kept off the floor, especially when you are four in the room.
Good Luck
Wish I had one of these on our last cruise. The bottom of the closet couldn't hold all my shoes.
