We sailed Apex and Edge last year along with Silhouette and Reflection. All ships you watch the video through the Celebrity App and then go to your muster station to have your card dinged. Cheers!

It’s not Guest Services that helps you, They have a dedicated table set up with staff that is there to make reservations for specialty dining. It just happens to be outside of Guest Services. When on S class ships we go to Murano and make all of our reservations.

Last year when we were on APEX down by guest relations there was a table set up for making specialty reservations. Just go down to I believe deck 3 ( Guest Services ) and there should be someone there to help you. Cheers!

Go E A G L E S! 😂 🦅 Cheers!

👍 Told you you would like sitting outside with the music! 😁 Make sure to get a beef sandwich with the horseradish sauce at the cafe in Central Park. They will be carving it as you go in. We usually get those with chips and then down to the trellis bar for a beer or cocktail with them. Cheers!

Grab dinner at Jamies but eat outside in the Park. There’s music during dinner. Usually guitar or violin music. Nice with the outside weather. Cheers!

Held in the late afternoon when we played. They play two rounds and last about an hour to an hour and a half if I recall. Need to get there early to buy cards if you don’t pre-purchase. The line is long. Great time. We won $250 last time we played! Cheers!

I see the melting chocolate desert still goes on. Try the cocktail made with cotton caddy at the Wonderland Bar. Won’t show it here, just try one. Cheers!

We have sailed in the Haven and by all means the Retreat out scores the Haven, just saying! 😜

We enjoyed the outside seating at the Lounge. There were so many D and D+ people on our cruise, in the late afternoon they closed the sky lounge and we spilled out there. They had food set up during the cocktail hour. Many non D and D+ people weren’t happy. 😬 Received our first crystal block on Explorer! Cheers!

Following along, love Silhouette! Spent 14 days on her last winter. This will help get us to January 29th when we fly down to Ft Lauderdale for our 3 ship B2B side by side 47 day winter cruise! I vote for option 2 as a way to report live on both ships. Never sailed MSC so interested in the comparison. Safe Sails Cheers!

By the way, love Central Park! Great place to grab a drink and just relax.

Great Ship, sailed her for Royal’s 50th anniversary and also sailed her last May for our Nephews 30th birthday. Love the Oasis class ships. I believe you will continue to be impressed. Will be following along. Cheers!

jumping on board! Sailed Explorer in the South Pacific out of Australia, great ship. Love the Diamond Lounge on board. One of the best. Enjoy your journey by the way…………. Go E A G L E S! 🦅 Cheers!

😃

Sorry to ask again, but can you share the nights that are chic nights? Thank you Cheers!

Looking forward to your post. We will be boarding Beyond on 2/19 for a B2B which is the second ship boarding we will have in our 49 day sailings on three ships. Starting with Equinox for 19 days then Beyond for 14 and onto Reflection for 14 days. We have sailed Edge and Apex before and I will say you will enjoy Beyond! We too are RCCL cruisers and Diamond Plus, but enjoy Celebrity also. Two different type of experiences. More laid back on Celebrity, but make sure you enjoy the Sunset Bar! Would like your thoughts on Embassy Suites. We have stayed there before a while back but staying again this time around. Happy Anniversary and enjoy your time on board! Cheers!

Oh MY!!

Thanks for posting! We will joining the ship on January 30th for a B2B. You had shared the following: Tomorrow is chic night — our second sea day on this 10-nightjourney. So far the pace has been nice, allowing us to unwind and snooze before we hit 5 islands in a row. Stay tuned! Your on a 10 night so was the Chic night the 2nd or third night?? When will be your second chic night. Would help with planning, DW likes to make reservations once on board with Specialty Dining. Thanks again, look forward to the rest of your post! Cheers!

Would anyone that sailed on this cruise be able to share what nights were chic nights? We have the specialty dining package and will be making nightly reservations when we board. DW likes to plan a head. Thank you Cheers!

Following along, been looking at this cruise for the future. Would be interested from anyone who has visited Iguaza Falls, who they used and how you went abut visiting the falls. Cheers!

I think it has been said well here by all. Everyone approaches longer cruises differently. We are in the camp that it’s a way of life and not a vacation. Last winter we sailed 49 days in the Caribbean. Visited a couple of ports twice but really never got off the ships due to Covid. Each week we were tested and if positive the sailings were over. We approach it by sailing on 3 different ships. That changes shows and experiences. This year we have 3 B2B cruises. First on Equinox 21 days then move over to Beyond for 14 days and then conclude with Reflection for 14 days. It’s a way of life for getting out of winter. Another way to enjoy is to have friends join you along the way. Last year our friends from England joined us for 21 days. This year other friends are joining us for the first 10 days. This year thinking about doing a live from, but that is a commitment! @Jim_Iain you inspire me! I know I enjoyed winter mornings reading and living through live reviews when I worked. Retirement is Fantastic! Cheers!

Would love to but a lot going on in December. Barbie’s brother and wife moved to NC so heading down for the Holidays. we are sailing 49 days straight starting with Equinox moving over to Beyond then Reflection. our way of getting out of the Northern cold. did the same last winter different ships. safe sailing! Cheers!

Hi Wally! Kevin and Barbie here! Hope all is well with you both. We are spending 19 days on Equinox starting January 30th! Bev and Walt from Texas joining us on the first 10 days. Have a great cruise! Just wanted to stop by and say hi! Cheers!

Just booked 3 B2B cruises and received $100 on the first 10 night and $50 on the others 7-9 nights, My point however is with the cost of a cruise the discount is like throwing a chair off the Titanic, or you can say p****** in the ocean. 😂 It’s something…… Cheers!
