For embarkation, Concierge may eat in the MDR and Suite guests in Lunimae. Everyone else may dine in Oceanview, the pool grill, or Aquaspa Cafe. There's also pastries at Cafe al Bacio.

As for the "nasty apps," you can ask for a cheese/fruit plate instead. Much better!

Celebrity has even been recently charging 250% single supplement! Talk about penalizing single cruisers!

I've always had them - both S and M class concierge cabins.

I am not getting too excited but our Sept. 15 cruise on the Equinox appears to have no ships in port with us at every port stop. Can't remember that happening.

Our Oct 6 cruise on the Equinox also has no other ships in port (other than Miami, LOL). Nice! :cool:

To each his own. You treat a boob like a hand, it's gonna have all the same germs plus you tuck the plastic next to your boob, think about the sweat while you're cruising around in the heat and humidity. No thanks.

Agree. I wash and sanitize my hands continuously on board. Pouches are one thing, but placing it directly in the bra next to the skin? Sorry, but I still think this isn't the most sanitary way to carry a card.

For those that feel otherwise, we can agree to disagree. :)

I know shorts are not allowed in the MDR/Blu/Luminae/Specialties, but there is one specialty restaurant where I've seen shorts many times: Lawn Club Grill. This venue is on the lawn and it can get quite warm in the Caribbean! I've always worn khakis and a polo, but have been there when I'm the only one in long pants!

Polo shirts are perfectly fine.

You keep this inside your bra and then hand it to the bar tender to have to handle?

Thanks. I've always thought it was just me that finds this a bit gross. :eek:

I've only cruises Celebrity, but will be expanding to other lines due to the deterioration of their product. It is interesting to read everyone's comments, and to see the reasons for your choices. It shows the changing dynamics of both passengers tastes and cruise line product.

Interesting thread.

I had to go check. You're right! Pretty funny!

Lawn Club is our favorite as well. As an added bonus, it is more casual than the other specialty restaurants! Great food and you can be more relaxed while dining. Win.

No issues.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

Greetings, everyone!

Looking at the new Celebrity website (yeah, I know) and was specifically looking at "The Suite Life Experience." Included in the general extras for booking a suite (Michael's, Luminae, etc.) they list "complimentary laundry service twice per cruise." When you click on each suite class, laundry isn't mentioned.

Just curious if laundry is indeed included for all suite passengers as the website implies. Any first-hand experience?

Thanks!

It is well publicized and well known that passengers with cruise sponsored shore excursions are given priority tendering and disembarkation.

Also, you said it yourself, everyone expected a very long wait to get through immigration. In order to organize things, the tour participants were given a place on board to meet and then be escorted through immigration.

 

You have no reason whatever to complain. You also, by your own admission, contributed to the problem. Even after you received an explanation, you refused to comply.

 

When traveling in some ports, especially in those countries that do not have easy reciprocal immigration processes and in these political times, you will be inconvenienced. That's the nature of travel.

 

If you don't expect such things to happen, travel to the Caribbean where everyone can just walk off the ship and meet their tours on the pier.

 

It's your behavior that needs adjusting.

Excellent review! We're doing the same cruise in October and can't wait!

They just posted on Facebook that all gourmet Burgers and Hot Dogs will be $9.95

Maybe they are Kobe beef hot dogs. LOL!

Like! Couldn't agree more, Sippican.

We've never noticed burgers/dogs in the buffet, so I'm glad to see them added. On our Alaska cruise on the Solstice it was raining outside and we were in the mood for a burger. We were told by staff in the buffet that the only place to get one was at the Mast Grill. Yes, in the pouring rain. Trust me, they weren't doing much business!

Great suggestions from everyone, especially about waterproofing your shoes. It rains a lot in Alaska.

What happens when you add bubbles??? Other than obviously bubbling all over.😮

We were in a C2 hump (1120) on the Silhouette, next door to a Royal Suite. On the last day of the cruise I was sitting on my balcony reading and enjoying the view. Started to notice foam flying by and filling my balcony. Someone in the RS next door had added something to their hot tub creating massive amounts of bubbles/foam. It was everywhere. To make matters worse, they had their "do not disturb" sign out and none of the staff wanted to "disturb" them. It took my escalating the problem up several levels before anyone would dare knock on their door. Turns out no one was home. Took quite a bit of time for them to clean the hot tub and several cabin balconies downwind. Mine was a mess.

From the article, "Here cruisers will be able to order gourmet burgers like the new-to-the-line Celebrity Signature Burger, an eight-ounce dry-aged Kobe Beef burger with slow roasted pork belly, port salut cheese, arugula, caramelized onions, and roasted garlic aioli, all served on a homemade brioche bun." I don't see how this can be provided for no additional fee. I'm hoping they at least offer it at a reasonable price. My question is whether they'll provide burgers in the Oceanview so that there is still a "free" option.

If I'm wrong and this is included in the cruise fare, this is a nice replacement to the grill.

Anyone want to take bets that the price drop check site can't handle the new version of Celebrity's website?

No bet.

We're doing the same cruise in October. Great timing!

Have a great cruise! (y)

We're partial to Kelly's Landing. Great seafood and worth the wait if you go at peak times!
