Certainly you can, but only if you are in a penthouse or royal suite, not if you are only in a lowly sky suite.

 

I don't know whether or not that is also a celebrity suite perk as we have not yet tried doing that when we had a celebrity suite.

But the next time we have one, I will certainly try doing it and will report back to you.

 

It is best if you pick out the table you want and ask the Michael's Club Concierge to remove the steerage folks for you rather than confronting them yourself. Those Michael's Club Concierges are very willing and eager to please the top suite guests.

What are you thoughts on wiping down your room in an effort to not get sick?

If I thought I needed to disinfect the room, I'd stay home.

Apologies if this question has been asked, but on both of the cruises I took, when we got toward the middle of the Gulf of Mexico or thereabouts suddenly my cellphone thought it was in a completely different timezone!

 

My poor roommate - he set his alarm for 6am so he could get up and watch the sunrise - woke up, showered, went out, looked at a clock and it was actually 1!

 

This happened to anyone else? Anyone know what it is that causes this?

For those who have sailed S class ....which do you prefer and WHY? Based on the s class matrix it also seems like same # cabin on Eclipse has opposite layout on Equinox...anyone know for sure???

I've got a better idea to reduce cruise ship emissions.

 

Add long vertical poles, made out of wood (for ecological reasons).

Attach large sheets of material to them to catch the wind and so move the ship without using engines.:rolleyes:

Can someone tell me if you drop off your luggage before you park in the cruise terminal parking lot?

As far as I know, beach towels are not available in any of the pay-for-dining venues.

(Just wanted to get back to the topic. ;) )

Just curious.. Does Anyone have bad opinions of q-sine? I went once on our first celebrity cruise and found the food and the overall experience horrendous. We left before dessert and even kindly asked for our money back from guest services... Host came and spoke to us and apologized...

 

 

But still , food was over cooked, orders were tacky in presentation (a strobe light flashing in a martini glass that's 2 feet from your face on a small table), flash photography from everyone there constantly.. Even with assistance if the waiters, screaming large parties (with and without kids).. And the food was really just not that good, quality or taste.

 

We are heading on the summit in a few weeks and I'm really curious if we are alone in this experience and should try it again.

Go for deck 7 if you have a choice.

I used to ask for pomegranate martinis with little or no syrup. That worked out pretty well.

Maybe they collect all the bottles with a few drops of shampoo or body wash left and decant it into clean bottles, which they seal and pass off as new.

Anything for the bottom line. :cool:

I've experienced most of the things mentioned. The only I got mad at it was when we came back from the last dinner to find the attendant had taken the coat hanger that I needed to pack the sport jacket I was wearing into my garment bag. My coat hanger that I had brought from home. :confused:

The very first thing I do after I board the ship is move out of the way so other people can board the ship.

We've lunched there at least a dozen times and I agree with the other posters: the food is nothing special and the service is very slow. Thank goodness the fee was covered by our Ultimate Dining package.

(I'd rather go to the buffet, but DW likes the bistro better.)

OK I'm Canadian, and so by definition I must be some sort of Socialist. But this idea that Celebrity should just give its crews free internet is the ultimate in Socialism which this quasi socialist takes offence with. Socialists love to be do-gooders which by itself is a wonderful thing. But ,and it's a big BUT, Socialists want to do these good deeds with other people's money, which in this case is Celebrity's ,RCL's (the corporate parent) and ultimately RCL shareholders' money.

 

If you feel strongly that the cruise line is not providing enough benefits to their crews please feel free to buy internet access for them yourself, as others have suggested, or leave a bigger tip, or take your business to companies who treat their employees better. Another suggestion is for you buy RCL's stock and become a shareholder. Then you can advocate the company and your fellow shareholders to change the policies and accept the extra costs associated with this, because, as a shareholder, now those extra costs will be coming out of your pocket.

Sorry for the triviality of this question, but our favourite pre-dinner tipple is a nice G & T, and wondered if the tonic served up in the bars on Celebrity is out of a bottle/can or the horrible flat stuff served from a squirty pump thing. If the latter then we may have to buy the tonic to top up our Tanqueray ashore. I know we've seen canned stuff in our minibar before, but can't recall the brand except that it was very sweet.

 

And as a side question….our second favourite drinks are Manhattans and Old Fashioneds; does anyone know if we'll be able to squeeze these out of our Classic drinks package? We are not too fussy about the brand of the bourbon etc. or the size. We know this info. is out there somewhere, but pulling it together from multiple threads and/or the dreaded Celebrity web-site is like trying to knit fog. Sheer laziness on our part, sorry!

 

Thanks in advance

Steve & Sue

Manhattans & OFs should be easy to obtain with your package.

I wish they'd replace Qsine with Silk Harvest everywhere.

I would like to see a Time Machine added to a cruise ship. This way I could step in at the end of the week and go back to embarkation day and do the cruise all over again.

[...] When did Specialty restaurants start to come on to X? From what I've interpreted, it seems to be a relatively new (within 5 years maybe) or so addition.

In Murano/Normandie/Olympic etc.: I love the duck and the venison, and the veal is also very good. DW loves the lobster prepared tableside.

I just don't understand what the OP wanted from Celebrity. The complaint was "no communication." Is X supposed to call every passenger regularly and say "we haven't changed the itinerary yet." How often should they do this? Once a week? Once a day? What difference would it make, when some event as late as the day before the port call could cause a change? :confused:

Next up: "You people have to stop taking your own photos! We sell all the photos you need right here on the ship."
