We have sailed 8 times on Celebrity, all but 1 on S-Class ships. We have not experienced a lack of waiters/waitresses except in the theater. We normally spend our bar time at the Ensemble lounge and have found the bartenders and waitstaff very attentive. Three of these sailings have been post COVID but none on a ship sailing at full capacity.. I have see people waiting to order drinks in the seating area around the Martini Bar, especially when the bar is crowded. Our next sailing is on Millennium and I suspect that sailing will be at or near capacity. I am planning to do a live report and will pay attention to how service is in areas outside the Retreat.

Yes, it is a per person price. I am not sure if it is $30 or $35 though.

I also am pretty sure that is crew space and does include elevators and or stairs for crew use and storage for cleaning supplies and linens. Since the OP is concerned about impact on 1537 I still say that it will not be a problem.

Yes, the Premium Package covers any beverage on the Premium Package list. I am not sure what "after dinner liquors" are would order. The drinks from the package cannot be shared.

The circled 1 corresponds to the description of the Spa also labeled 1 in the description area below the deck plan. It has not meaning on the staterooms below other than that they are located below the Spa.

I have no idea. It was an assumption on my part.

They probably did that because they knew about hist fondness of lemon tart's

Because it is not a boarding time. The time you select is your check-in arrival time at the terminal.

Not as a packaged deal. You can send in all the laundry you want and pay accordingly.

Randy, Yes, I do remember you from our Silhouette sailing. Great to hear from you again. I apologize for the late response. I do not know why but just noticed that I never responded to your post. I do hope you write about your experiences on Millie in March. I look forward to reading them I appreciate the comments about Millie and we are looking forward to our experience. This will be our first M-Class cruise and we are looking forward to a comfortable and relaxing experience. Our previous experiences on Celebrity have all been wonderful. The worse that we have encountered was being in a Sky Suite under the OVC and hearing the service carts early in the morning when they were stetting up for breakfast. It did not spoil the cruise but it did take a little of the pleasure out of it. We've learned not to book those rooms if at all possible We hope you have a wonder cruise in March and enjoy your time aboard Millie.

My Celebrity App shows Sushi on Five open for lunch on Day 1. As @terrydtxsaid, dining there is not free. The Menu shows a la carte dining.

Yes, you should keep calling.

Luminae and the MDR are showing lobster on Day 6 of our April Millennium sailing. However, take that with a grain of salt as it is a 15 night cruise and the menu only goes up to day 7.

The one I have is way too old. I just go by the Celebrity App. If you look look under Menu for the dining areas, there is a drinks listing of by the glass and bottle. There is no assurance that all of the wines listed will be available onboard but from what I am reading, the availability of wines is improving.

We went over 350 points as the result of our last cruise and when I called to update our preferences, I was offered choices of wines from the list in the link I posted. I'll know next month when we board Harmony whether or not we get the specific wines I requested or not. BTW, I found out that it is the list for the primary account holder that they go by. My wife had a difference preference than I did so if she was the primary we would get what was on her list. I had them change both to be identical.

Sorry -- it is what it is, is all I can say.

Thanks for the explanation. I have not come across anything similar but I have had some good meals at Applebee's.

I go by this -- When they have the products in stock, it's been accurate. https://www.celebritycruises.com/things-to-do-onboard/onboard-packages/beverage-packages/compare-packages

If you present two cards, you can get a drink for each. As @jwlane said, you can also get a can/bottle of water to go with your drink. Both are free depending on which drink package you have.

Just looked at our sailing on Millennium for April and it's still the standard menu with the normal items, including the Huevos Ranchero's. I was born and raised in Alabama and what I was served when I ordered biscuits and gravy in Luminae was an offense to the meals name.

I would choose Absolute over Tito's but that just me. Good luck and let us know how it works out as you are sailing before we will be sailing.

You are a year too early!

Look at the post I responded to. It says his 'boarding pass showed both CALL and PALL" ..

They use smaller size glasses at the casino bar which are covered by the Classic package. The larger sized glasses used at the martini bar are on the Premium package. There has been some mention of being able to get smaller glasses at the martini bar on the Classic package but I do not believe that is always the case.
