Virgin curious? Celebrity sailor tries a new cruise line
Purplsmurf replied to JackE's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We looked at Virgin, but since we can’t pick the cabin we wanted we knew it wasn’t for us. I like choosing where we will be, not being assigned a cabin by Virgin -
Celebrity is turning into a rip off
Purplsmurf replied to Avidcruiser321's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I was just thinking the opposite. We booked a veranda for an upcoming cruise. A month before final payment was due the price dropped for Aqua. We ended up paying $2500 less for Aqua than we originally had for a veranda. -
Currently on Silhouette very bad experience
Purplsmurf replied to avp1234's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Clint is the Hotel Director on the Silhouette. I’m sure he would want to know about this. He would definitely get things done! Good luck to you! Hope all is well -
Check a current sailing. All of the prices are on the app.

Do it on the website. You can add the number and expiration there. I just did it the other day for my daughter. I never check in on the app because I like to upload a picture and the app doesn’t allow one to

Disembarking at Rotterdam 7:00 am, 11:00am flight from Schiphol?
Purplsmurf replied to Mark_K's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We have this same issue with our sailing in June. We decided to stay in Amsterdam for the night and fly home the following day. Not sure we would be able to make our 11 am departure and don’t want to worry about it on our cruise. Good luck with whatever you decide! -

Absolutely! We have done that many times. We have also had a savory and a fruit and shared. So good! -

Dutch Pancake House is like that everyday, not just on Sunday. We go to Aruba every year for our land vacay (just came back two weeks ago) and tried going. This was the busiest we have seen it and we go every year. It’s so good and they have gluten free Dutch pancakes……which I love -

Honest question: Why do parents take young kids on Celebrity?
Purplsmurf replied to CruisinShips's topic in Celebrity Cruises
My kids were on Carnival, Princess, NCL, and Royal Caribbean (some more than once), before ever sailing on Celebrity. They were 15 and 13 on their first Celebrity cruise and said it was by far their favorite. They are now 26 and 24, still cruising, and still cruising Celebrity. They have not sailed any other cruise line since their first time on Celebrity -
Letting kids in the Solarium for a couple of hours-Opinions?
Purplsmurf replied to cruisekitty22's topic in Celebrity Cruises
As someone said, this has been going on for quite sometime……at least since the restart. We don’t use the Solarium, so it doesn’t affect us, but if there is inclement weather I would have no problem with it. We have walked through there at this time and there is usually nobody there. -
Honest question: Why do parents take young kids on Celebrity?
Purplsmurf replied to CruisinShips's topic in Celebrity Cruises
My kids love Celebrity. They have been on Carnival, NCL, Princess, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. They started cruising when they were 2 and 5. They are now 27 and 24 and if asked what their favorite cruise line is they will say Celebrity by far. They have been mostly on Celebrity……their choice -
I’m pretty sure that a chic night won’t happen with such a late departure from Aruba. With that being said, we go to Aruba every year for our land vacay and I HIGHLY recommend going to Barefoot for dinner, but you will need a reservation sooner rather than later. We just came back and went there twice. Luckily we had some flexibility because we had a hard time finding an opening for the second time we went. Enjoy!

While I agree that it will likely change, we have been on many cruises where chic night was on a port day. We have even had some cruises with both chic nights on port days.

Where oh where has my Celebrity gone
Purplsmurf replied to Canadianhey!'s topic in Celebrity Cruises
We sailed a B2B in December and everything was WONDERFUL……..although we haven’t had any complaints on any sailing since the restart, and we have had quite a few of them. -
Celebrity Reflection vs. Caribbean Princess
Purplsmurf replied to 20165's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I would choose Reflection in a heartbeat. We like everything so much more. Food is much better on Celebrity, no smoking in casinos (if you gamble), buffet is so much better…..and don't get me started on those medallions. They were the worst! Enjoy whichever cruise you go with! -
Yes! Thank goodness they are still using the card……and I hope they never change to medallions. Those things are awful!!
