  1. You are so welcome. I will let you all know how the high tea was and how we got there. We think we are going for the royal tea for the "Maine Lobster Sliders". Who could resist that menu item? 4 days until we sail☺☺☺

  2. I did book afternoon High Tea at the Fairmont Southampton on the referral from the Fairmont Princess (they said they will have tea again at the Princess in September). Now I just need to figure out transportation methods

  3. Has anyone done the afternoon high Tea at The Perfumery, what has the cost, it's it wonderful and how did you get there? Had planned on going to tea at Hamilton Princess, but it is closed for construction until September according their concierge. Thanks!!

  4. Hi Jenna. Love your report. I am traveling with my fourteen year old son and his fourteen year old friend in a suite the end of May to Bermuda. While my son and I are bolder in our dining choices , I fear the other boy may not be. Do you think they would allow him to order off of the "left side" of the MDR menu or no?Otherwise, we might have to spend more time on the MDR. Thank you very much for your input.

  5. As soon as you get on board, go to the main dining room (Cosmopolitan) and speak with the maitre de and tell him you request a table every night at the time you want. Ask him/her to show you the location. It will probably be to the right by the beautiful staircase overlooking the downstairs. We loved the location and the waiters ( George and Adalada). They are very accommodating. We went at six o'clock because we thought we had a better chance of being seated where we wanted at that time. Great cruise so have fun!!

  6. My son started travelling with us on Celebrity when he was ten. He was stand offish for sure. He did not want to go to the club and I did not want him attached to my hip the whole time. I bribed him with the opportunity to buy what he wanted once we got to Bermuda if he agreed to try it for two hours. Loved it and never saw him unless I forced him. It's a perfect kids club because there are so few kids that they all tend to hang together and not buddy up and leave anyone out. I must say, my kid is pretty current and together and he thought all the different types of kids were interesting and fun. Make a deal with her and I bet she'll love it. Good luck.

  7. My husband takes his own guitar on board with us. We affix a room trash to the case ( locked ) and it shows up at our door with our luggage. Never damaged or lost. He can't go that many days without his guitar. I then run to the T pool for the day if he starts playing:rolleyes::rolleyes:

  8. This will be our 4th Cruise to Bermuda on the Memorial Day Holiday. We too are on the May 24th sailing. Most years smooth as glass but last year a little bumpy a couple days. Nothing major and easy to get through. Just go about your day and enjoy. You will love Bermuda and the Summit!

  9. Thought this might be of interest to anyone thinking of going to high tea!

     

    Everything featured on the menu, including the breads, scones and pastries are homemade in our pastry shop then served on elegant silver trays alongside steaming pots of English tea in fine Belgian china kettles.
