Louis XIII and Red Bull. Drink up 🍷🍺🍻🧉🍹🍸🥃🧋🍷🥂🍾🥤

You were invited? Does that mean that you didn’t have to pay for it? What category of suite were you in? When sailing in a suite we would get approached by the Sommelier trying to sell us a wine experience, and by the Maitre D to purchase one of those dining experiences. They would say that there are a few openings if interested. We were never offered it for free. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Smokers don’t realize how they reek from their smoke. It is really bad when you have a seat in the theater or lounge and a smoker sits next or around you. It is also a problem on a confined bus tour. That is why we no longer take tours. On the Edge class the smoking areas are usually: Port side areas are deck 4 rear outside of Eden, Sunset bar, and rear of pool area. Starboard is the Mast Bar. My wife will get migraines and I can feel your pain seeing what she goes thru. I don’t get migraines but I break out in hives from the smell of cigarette smoke. Hope this helps Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

You don’t need to attend the beyond the podium unless there is nothing else to do. It is always shown on the in room TV and runs continuously. Do some channel surfing and you will find it. It may be on the CD channel. I think that is why the presentation may not be well attended. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t know what kind of zoo the comedian is referring to as all the zoos that I have been to are organized and under control with the animals confined in pens, or cages. 🤷‍♂️ It appears to be more of a jungle where the animals are running wild. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The difference would be if the bed is by the balcony or lavatory. Also if the head of the bed is towards the front of the ship or the rear. The later may affect those with motion issues that have a problem with the way they are moving when laying down. The cabin may have an obstructed view, be too far from the stairs or elevators, be near a public area, or have one above or below. Other differences would be the deck level and location that affect the movement in the cabin. The cabin may also be close to a smoking area. Depending on your preference. Some cabins in the same category also have larger balconies. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

In St Maarten you should try walking to town instead of taking the water taxi. It is a 1/2 mile walk. Along the way you can see mountain goats in the cliff on the opposite side of the road. Crabs and etc in the draining ditch along the walkway. There are a few beverage stands, and also people with coolers selling beer, and other drinks for a few dollars to drink along the way. There is also a cheese store that provides samples. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

There is also monitor as you enter the buffet that shows what the daily themes will be for the entire cruise. It may take a few minutes of watching to get to the screen that shows it. I would suggest having your phone ready to take a photo when it pops up. I think it is near the port side entrance Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

When in a suite I have a hard time not dining in Luminae on sea days. Eden is nice for their chocolate cookies and brownies. It is a hard choice between Luminae and Eden Cafe on sea days. We will have lunch in Luminae and then go to Eden Cafe and stock up on their brownies and Cookies. Their cookies are different than those served at Cafe al Bacio and the buffet. Have a little and keep the rest of for later on. Chocolate and bourbon makes a nice combo. I suggest to try the Chocolate Pill for desert in Luminae if you love chocolate. It is on the Daniel Buolard (sp) option at the bottom of the main dinner menu every night in Luminae. It is easy to miss when the desert menu is delivered because it isn’t on it. So you have to remember to order it. Or just take a photo of the main menu and look it when ordering a desert. Tip also order a scoop of gelato or ice cream to go with it. Honestly I can’t tell the difference so I get the flavor that I want and is available. I think gelato has less cream so it doesn’t have as many calories. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

You need to try all of the bars. What I could tell you today will change tomorrow. I like old fashions. It doesn’t take me long to find the bar and BT that makes it the correct way (the way that I like it). Same bar different BT and the drink is different. I will tell them how I like it and they still can’t get it right. The BTs in the retreat lounge will normally make the drinks the way you like. I usually start out with asking for an Old Fashion to give it a try. You never know, I may like it better than the way that i usually drink them. You have a drink pack. Try as many drinks as you think you may like. EX at the Martini Bar I order a drink. Don’t like it then looking at the menu based on that drink I can eliminate many others as they are just a variation. I don’t like real sweet foo foo drinks so I usually avoid those frozen drinks at the pool. I may occasionally give one a try but end up leaving it. You need to find the bar, and BT on your own On our last cruise on the Constellation in a suite we spent most of our bar time in the Retreat Lounge, and Cellar Masters. Never sat at the Martini bar, Rendezvous, or any outside bars. We found the bar and BTs that we liked. Prior to that cruise we were also in a suite and spent most of our bar time in the Retreat lounge, Craft Social, Eden, and Martini Bar. The time before on the Beyond we spent a lot of time at the World Class bar. The BTs changed and so did some of their drinks, especially paying extra for a drink that use to be included in the premium pack. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I found the duck on Celebrity to be rather chewy. 😱 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Having the same problem this morning. Gave up. Don’t really need to sign in for what I wanted to see. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Never noticed it. I had to go to the website to see what this thread was referring to. Sometimes when there is too much it is like you can’t see the forest for the trees. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It use to be the prepaid gratuities, $400 pp SBC, premium bev pack, premium wifi. and butler. On our last cruise in a SS we didn’t have a dedicated butler but have heard that they are rolling out the service again starting on the Edge Class ships. May take some time to staffing the whole fleet. New bookings don’t include the gratuities or any SBC. Everything is nice but the way the prices are I doubt we will be booking anymore in a suite. Can’t justify the extra cost. I know people will say once you try a suite you will never go back. Not true. We have done it a few times and not missed it. We booked our next 3 cruises in AQ and won’t do a move up bid. Enjoy it while you can and don’t chase after what others do. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Do you think? I am sure that they regret commissioning her. Too bad they let her ruin the other ships during their upgrading before waking up. I do have to congratulate Kelly for giving them a bigger con job than P. T. Barnum, and snow job than Colonel Parker. Shame on those that approved the final designs. They should all be canned. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The big winner is not designed by Kelly Hoppen. I wonder why they made that comment????🙄 Adding 12 more cabins with a capacity of 4 people will also add 12 to 48 more passengers in Luminae with the normal being 24. The area isn’t that large and If they add more tables it will be very congested Happy to see that they are going to have a walk in shower instead of those dangerous bath tubs. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

If you booked thru a big box warehouse your cruise won’t be eligible. I think there is also a clause that pertains to group rates not being eligible. 🤷‍♂️ Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We usually sail in AQ and occasionally a suite depending on the price point. I have heard many comments that the suites and AQ get the best room attendants and servers. I don’t know where they get that info. We had some that were rookies. It was their first time ever on a cruise ship. We have had some bad ones but overall they have been good. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We were on the Seashore in Feb in the YC for a 3 night cruise. We wanted to test the waters. Another couple joined us as they never cruised before and wanted to try one. They were also in the YC. The elevator system sucked. The choice of bourbons was Buffalo Trace. Excuse: The supplies haven’t been distributed. Nothing else was available for the whole cruise. Wine choice were minimal. Basically red or white. Exaggerating a little but not by much. Not many choices During the evening we were sitting in the lounge having a drink and just relaxing. We were served drinks and asked for a napkin. The response, they are at the bar. Asked for a Americano at breakfast. The server started to pour coffee out of a pitcher. I said I want a Americano. She said yes it is coffee. I said no it is espresso with hot water. She said that she never heard of that. Reading all of the great experiences and threads of reviews I read on CC I was expecting the same. I guess my expectations were too high. Didn't experience anything near theirs. The other couple felt the same. They weren’t impressed enough to take another cruise. Me and my wife aren’t high maintenance. We are mainly do it ourself type. Don’t like others doing something that we can do ourselves. We don’t demand or ask for much but we found that normal service was very poor and lacking. Before the cruise I was excited and planning on booking another cruise on board but I didn’t. It didn’t impress me. Sorry. One and done.

You will probably have to cancel the existing cruise and book a new one. If you have to do that it is best to do it on board and get a new future cruise booking for the SBC. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It was many years ago. I always keep roaming turned off on my phone. Don’t see any use for it. I am not sure how that international plan works but my niece went to a casino in Windsor Ontario. It is a city across from Detroit. She got hit will a large bill because she was texting and her phone was connected to I think was called Rogers Service. She purchased the international plan from AT&T to use for a future cruise. She also got a big bill for her usage on board the ship. Don’t really know the whole story but I don’t see the need to keep in touch with anyone unless it is really important. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The last time on the Beyond we went to get our free scoop of gelato. We were ready to give our card and was told it wasn’t needed as they didn’t charge for the gelato. There was only one flavor per day. Sometimes there is a very long line and other times walk up. It is in the buffet at the ice cream station. We recently got off of doing 3 cruises on Celebrity and didn’t even bother getting our free scoop on any of those cruises. It doesn’t seem to be any different than their ice cream. Put the two side by side and get it the taste test. Wouldn’t pay extra for it. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We have did both. The create and pour was fun. They served some wine while the artist instructed us how to do a sketch. It was also very interesting The music and Mixology consisted of a BT making 4 different drinks while someone explained how to make it and what is in it while some music is being played by the band. It has been the same drink on different cruises. Manhattan, Mai Tai, Cosmo and something made with Pimms and I think Champagne. The Mai Tai doesn’t really taste like one and wasn’t that good. Actually none of them were worth drinking. As you can see this is how the drinks looked when we left. We had a drink pack but if we didn’t we probably would have finished them, The event last about 1/2 hour. On our last cruise they only made 3. They didn’t do the Cosmo. Photo of a sea horse that we were shown how to sketch Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

We have ATT. I have permanently turned off roaming. I live close to Canada and sometimes with roaming on we would pick up Canada and get hit with the bill. When we board the ship in FL we never had that problem with extra charges. We would turn on air plane mode after we connect to the ships internet as we usually have the internet package. It would be very easy to forget about doing that if we didn’t. We will also remind each other for the same reason. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The reason he did that was because I was there the first 2 days during the afternoon when my wife was napping. I would sit there watching the sports or just talking to him.or passengers. I would always ask for MM neat. I had about 3 by that time and when I asked for another he brought me the bottle and asked if I needed a straw. He was just messing around, everyone laughed and some asked me what kind of package I had. After that it became the standing joke whenever I order my first drink. I would ask for the MM and he would bring over the bottle and ask if I needed a straw. Naturally I didn’t get it all at once but I know I emptied a few of them. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
