We have a similar situation to VBILady. We're traveling for a month and don't want to take up extra luggage room with a tux he will only wear on this leg of our trip. BUT, my husband is 6'6"! It's not typical for him to find anything in his size very easily. I'm thinking we just go with a nice suit and call it a day. But sure would be fantastic if they could outfit him with a rental.

Vintage dancing is an authentic recreation of historical dance styles. Usually in a big hall with a live band and we dress formally, with some in historical attire. For more info, you could google Gaskell Ball and PEERS which are the two I've attended. We dance waltzes, galop, schottische, polka and many more including line dances such as Strip the Willow. But for what it's worth, I can also dance like a flapper 😉

We're taking our first cruise with Cunard in 2024 and I was incredibly excited about the dance hosts. I love to ballroom dance (I also do vintage dancing) but my husband almost never wants to. Ah well, we shall see. Also, as a professional jazz singer, I have always ended up being invited to "sit in" with the bands and crooners on our cruises. Wonder if we can work that out this time too? Sounds like there might be an opening. haha!

Wow! We pay about $2 a gallon at home. I guess we'll stop by a store near the port before we get on board.

I visited the website to see what they were recommending. At first I was surprised because the clothing was all over the map, and not what I had put in my info. I had said no to shorts and skirts, and yet there were many of those being offered. I then noticed that there were many more questions I could answer and info I can submit that was not at the original intake. So I have added those and now we see if it gets better. Even so, there were several pieces I did like. I haven't gone so far as to check out the return policies. The clothing isn't cheap and I'd hate to spend a lot of money and be stuck with clothing that doesn't fit or work.

Thank you, I found it! I'm all signed up - now let's see how it goes

FWIW - This will be our first Celebrity cruise - but on every single cruise we've ever done we have specified split beds and it has NEVER been done in advance. We simply tell our steward when we get there and they fix it before bedtime.

Good to know! Looks like lots of options

I received the email but was unable to sign up. It asked for a code which I have not received. I guess they thought I'm already stylish enough!

I simply asked for the vegan menu each evening after we sat down and it was brought right over. Nothing to pre-plan. I also took a look at the regular menu because sometimes there are "accidentally" vegan items as I call them, so you can have a little more to choose from.

Here's one I don't think has been shared yet. The tacos were not really tacos - open flour tortillas with cauliflower and onions - forgot what else. There was a white sauce alongside and I was told it was yogurt and chives. I let my server know that yogurt isn't vegan (I highly doubt they had vegan yogurt on board). It would have been better with some salsa anyway - kind of dry. The salad, pasta and shepherd's pie were really good. Didn't have the soup.

I forgot to mention, there is a mocktail in Wheelhouse that is called Choco Banana and it's made with coconut milk. Tastes like a milkshake and is very good. I wasn't able to find it anywhere else on the ship - everyone else had dairy milk.

It was really good! Seemed "home made" with grains and veg, that sort of thing. Not burger-like, as the Beyond Burger in Salty Dog Gastropub. They are both good, just totally different.

That light is so annoying! We used the tiny decorative pillow to block the whole thing each night before bed. Worked a charm.
