  1. maybe X can make the swirch and adjust pricing??? if not, I'd book the new choice and then cancel the orig..can do in cruise planner
  2. thanks for the reminders abt godmothers..good choices!
  3. I do not cook at all...so I had to look this up. Husb usually broils or grills outdoors. "Sous vide steaks, on the other hand, can be held for several hours before you finish them by searing and serving, which means that your steaks are ready when you and your guests are." Do you think the cruise line " holds" them..then sears?
  4. Thanks..... We are booked for January. Who is the godmother?
  5. https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&source=android-browser&q=beef+sirloin+en+croute link to samples.. ( googled )
  6. interesting.. Will the influence be Celebrity or the Royal C brand? We never tried Az . The ships did not appeal to us and they had larger down payments from what I recall.? Hope Az fans will be okay!
  7. sorry Murano dining was not as good as it should have been.. We have noticed from various photo posts that many dishes lately are swimming in sauce and gravy. We plan to ask for all gravy and sauces to be served on the side!
  8. thanks.. we collect them in ports but they look cute on the door!
  9. so is this the New Logo? or the Orange X? This is nicer..relates to the sea..
  10. We find nothing positive about Royalization of X.. lowers a good brand to mediocre. EDEN has finally turned into great multi use space..day and night....hate to see it " re- branded".
  11. great attitude! why pay extra when value is not there. We are booked in AQ, SV and Concierge for our future X cruises.. Quite ambivalent abt the new ship Xcel
  12. Was that it..no nibbles taken? Old grapes & berries, hardly any cheese or nuts at all...sad! Who would have the nerve to serve something like this? Vaping also? Sounds like the overall management of Equinox in several areas is poor! We used to love this ship but would be reluctant to book it now. Hope you will continue to report & are still able to have a good time!
  13. good to know about that stairway! hope we won't get any rain but you never know!
  14. does not look that bad! It will be easy to spot from shore! Does anyone recall the big "to do" when Cruise Critic changed its logo? Folks were generally resistant, said it looked like a cruise line's logo..Now, it is a non issue and barely noticed!
  15. thanks for the post.. kiddos still learn about that in art classes.. some people must have skipped that unit!
  16. From the current live EDGE review "Cruise Compass": Future bookings are open for the new ship.
  17. never been on an ICON ship (presumptuos name) but our opinion is Oasis is not same caliber as E Class ships...we could not wait for our Oasis cruise to end! It was like spending a week at the local mall with a food court.
  18. does anyone ever steal ones they like? the sea life ones are cool...where do you find those, Cruise Critic used to have a nice "downloadable" color door sign..would include date of the CC Connections Party..which seem to be no more???
  19. One of our most enjoyable cruises was the Pacific Coastal itin on Infinity. The ship and the old wooden pier where we docked in SF were not perfect , but we loved every port. It was worth the long flight from East Coast. We had nice Celebrity excursions ( day and night,) , wineries, wine tastings, dining, gardens, beach areas, visit to Pebble Beach, Catalina Island ....just wonderful! Sadly, shortly after that cruise, Ca experienced terrible fires in some of the places we enjoyed. Hope they have recovered. We'd do it again on a newer ship! Previously we sailed on Royal's Radiance of the Sea to Mex Riviera out of San Diego, a great pre cruise port..Loved the zoo and beautiful Coronado area. Mex was fun but was getting a bit run down in a few ports, but most were excellent..Just before our cruise there was a tourist death (caught in gang crossfire)in Acapulco.. We opted to go ahead with our day at a super double gated luxury resort. The armed guards who followed us there, those at the resort and soldiers on the beach were a bit scary but we did have a great day. Sorry Mexico is off the schedule..but we would not plan to go again! Safety and other issues.. For now the East Coast and Carib will be enough and maybe Cunard to Grt Britain. Happy Sailings to All!
