We will be sailing on Eclipse in late July in a Celebrity Suite. This will be our first cruise on Celebrity (25 on DCL). We are foodies and are excited to try all that Celebrity has to offer. I do not understand how you arrange to eat anywhere except Luminae. I've read the website but it still seems very confusing. It sounds like I can talk to the host in the suite lounge to book Murano and Tuscan Grill for dinner?
Tell me about Blu? I feel like the menu in Blu is going to be more appealing to us than Lumanie. How hard is it to get into Blu? I think we are permitted to eat there if spots are available. Do I book that in advance or it is a go there and see sort of situation?
What about Sushi and Le Petite Chef? Is that just dinner or can we have sushi for lunch also? We enjoy sushi - I'm not sure about Le Petite Chef. Can you tell me more about that experience?
Where do you recommend for breakfast/lunch? We are not big buffet fans and one of us is a vegetarian. I'm sure we will give the buffet a try, but prefer sit down meals. Do you find sit-down breakfast to be slow? That could be a factor on port days.
Any strategy, tips, pros/cons and process information would be really appreciated. If this were Disney - I'd totally know what to do but I feel completely lost with a new cruise line. We are really looking forward to this cruise and hope it's the beginning of a great relationship with Celebrity.
