BonTexasNY Posted April 11, 2013 #502 Share Posted April 11, 2013 [COLOR=darkorchid][B]I just found Bugsy's review yesterday. Where have I been? Now there's a triple threat getting work done. Yours, Radio's and Gambee's. All excellent and all taking time away from well....unimportant things, right??[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorchid][B]Keep it up and continued smooth sails. Gorgeous pictures, wonderful commentary. I'm a fan![/B][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted April 11, 2013 #503 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Chris...when do you sleep?? You seem to shut the ship down every night and then you're up at dawn prior to arriving in port every morning! You're an animal! :cool::cool: This is so great. Thank you for taking time to do this for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugsyCruiser Posted April 11, 2013 Author #505 Share Posted April 11, 2013 [quote name='jerseygirl777']Chris I had added a message on Page 23 #459 & I wrote it in the wrong place, if you have a chance & can read it I asked you a question about pricing- thanks- Linda:cool:[/QUOTE] Linda pricing is similar to Oasis class, maybe just a bit more as Celebrity offers Aqua Class and Concierge Class, which aren't on Oasis and Allure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulCruiser123 Posted April 11, 2013 #510 Share Posted April 11, 2013 [quote name='MrFunInTheSun']Comping a internet package surely would be a great gesture. Between Gambee's review and now Chris's "Live" trip report on the same ship I'm sure lots of people that normally don't sail or have not sailed Celebrity will look to in the future, myself included. I'm booked for cruises for 2013, but surely want to take a Celebrity cruise during 2014 now. I would hope that Celebirty would make a comment on Gambees review too, his deserves a nod from the big dogs too. :) Unless they already did and I missed it. I've done three "Live" trip reports myself and they do take time, but they are fun to do too and I consider them as part of my own personal cruise experience.[/QUOTE] I agree about comping the internet package. We attempted a live review of this ship in February and the very slow and sometimes nonexistent internet connection derailed us. Love reading live reviews.

Journey11 Posted April 11, 2013 #513 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Chris, absolutely gorgeous pictures in the ports. The colors are so rich and vibrant. They could easily be picture "postcards."

I don't go to the vendors in Labadee for the reason you and many others have stated... they are very pushy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted April 11, 2013 Author #515 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks for all the great comments my friends. The solarium... perhaps too peaceful :D Going to check out the Oceanview Cafe. I normally don't do buffets but I have read that Celebrity's is very good so I'm willing to give it a try. Thanks for tuning in everyone, see you later today! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctmcgee Posted April 11, 2013 #516 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Chris, Just wanted to chime in to also say THANK YOU for taking the time to put this wonderful and informative live review together. Only downside is that my work productivity has suffered a little since both you and Gambee started with your reviews. I anxiously await the updates every day. Great job! Enjoy the rest of your trip. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted April 11, 2013 Author #517 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) By the time I would have gotten to the Oceanview Cafe they would have been ending the lunch buffet. No biggie... still got plenty of time to check it out :) This gave me an excuse to do a little bit more exploring. I tried to snap pictures of the wine list at Cellar Masters but the lighting is not good at all for that A stop by Cafe Al Bacio was in order...

suekay Posted April 11, 2013 #520 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Is it still dark in the MDR Grand Cuvee? When we were on Silhouette in September, the lights were so low that people were using the table light as a torch to read the menu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
