Diamond Lounge has "pastries" or Continental Breakfast in the mornings.  There is a fancy coffee machine there for espresso type drinks that is self-serve, no voucher required.  If the coffee machine is out of order, you can talk to the Concierge about getting free coffee drinks at Cafe Promenade.

Thank you!

I see from your signature that you must be at least Diamond level... Would you know if breakfast is being served in the Diamond Lounge, and if (cafe) lattes or espressos are available?  Would it require a drink coupon?

Thank you!

Thank you for entertaining us and taking us along on your cruise.  Now we're really looking forward to the Edge later this month!   Stay healthy!

Living vicariously through your delightful and entertaining posts. 

Used Binax proctored tests for the last cruise, and will again for our first trip on the Edge in late Feb. We're Martini Bar fans.  Would you please let us know which bar onboard seems to be the most lively or actively entertaining?  Enjoy, and thank you!

Our Celebrity rep told us she made reservations in Blu for us.  She thought  the Main Dining Room reference in confirmation would translate to Blu because of our stateroom, but onboard we found she was incorrect.  As everyone said above, there are no reservations.  We were able to get seated right away, or with only a couple minute wait, whenever we showed up.  Our cruise was on the Millennium a couple weeks ago.  (I did advise the rep afterwards).

Hi,

We're joining you tomorrow! Thank you for the live reports!

I see the daily planners you've posted suggest long-sleeved shirts for men for Smart Casual. The Celebrity website defines it as short-sleeved.  What are you seeing in the evenings? Thanks!

I use the packing cubes from my clothes to hold stuff that goes on high shelves. Not as roomy as folding bins, but nothing extra to carry.

Just came across this info and wonder what the feedback is.

We have not been able to use any shareholder bennies on Celebriry because we always book with some kind of offer.

Wash your hair, sit on the balcony with a glass of wine and let it dry naturally....just done that on the Eclipse today...my hair might not be the most glamorous on board but after the wine, who cares!

I like your style!

The Infinity dryers I've used require you to continually hold a button to make them work.

We loved Auckland to Perth on Celebrity Solstice (18 nights) a few years ago. Auckland, Sydney, and Perth are all wonderful cities, worth extra days.

Add us to the list of Journey(Aug/Sept 2016) cruisers no longer planning to go ashore in Kusadasi. Hoping for a substitute port or sea day.

Getting excited for our cruise at the end of August. Thanks for the dining tip!

What is the frozen white night party? I don't remember hearing about that on our last X cruise.

Had a Frozen party at the end of the Summit Oct. 5-19 Fall Colors sailing. Lounge on 11 decorated in white (and pink--cruise had numerous events to raise money for breast cancer research). Music from 50s/60s/70s/80s from 10ish to midnight or so. Ours was formal night, but wearing white was also encouraged. Fairly good turnout. Glow necklaces, ice sculptures, and acrobatic dancers added to party atmosphere.

Sue, I always apply for my shareholders credit right after booking also. Have never had a problem and find that office is very good about telling me quickly if it is better to use that or another discount.

We have been advised by shareholder services that we cannot use the shareholder obc when we have the drink package special (we're not Elite yet). They answered a request for the Nov. 7 Infinity cruise as well as b2b next summer. Although not the answer we hoped for, they were quick to respond. Look forward to being Elite next year - hoping not to be disappointed by any upcoming announcements...

Enjoying the ongoing commentary, ghstudio, thank you!
