ShawRuff Posted March 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2018 What are your thoughts when dining venues? I think they look interesting. I would switch from aqua class to regular if it will not increase the costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted March 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2018 What are your thoughts when dining venues? I think they look interesting. I would switch from aqua class to regular if it will not increase the costs. Our thoughts are the opposite. So happy we booked AQ with BLU. One place to go to, fairly set menus and routiine.. Avoids the "dine around " plan and need to make ressies... Lucky for all of us.. there will be many choices, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheCruisingMan Posted March 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Booked Normandie the first night, Steakhouse the second night, and Tuscan the third night. We are on preview sailing. Do wonder what prices are for the premium selections for the Steakhouse. No info provided on that. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseLifeIsTheBest Posted March 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2018 On the 12/1 preview sailing but keep getting " Sorry, we cannot reserve this right now" when trying to book speciality dining. Have tried logging in with user ID and reservation #, same issue. Anyone else experience this issue? Gotta love Celebrity's website! :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo1953 Posted March 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yup, on with Captain's Club right now and they can't figure it out either :( I Am almost tempted to suggest that X needs to have a line just to assist passengers in making changes who cannot access the website.... I do not think there would be enough individuals to staff that call center.... Sorry you are having issues with the site. I very rarely have issues with it, maybe I do not log on often enough to experience it? bon voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JoePDX Posted March 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Very excited! I also think we will prefer the smaller MDR's over one large one. Preliminary menus look really good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikki21 Posted March 2, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I must say I think the dining options with the different complimentary MDR's looks great. I was in Aqua Class last time I sailed Celebrity but I think this could tempt me into a standard balcony or edge balcony but I think I might wait till the ship or a sister ship comes to Europe!

Mynki Posted March 2, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 2, 2018 What are your thoughts when dining venues? I think they look interesting. I would switch from aqua class to regular if it will not increase the costs. I was pleasantly surprised with the 'reveal'. There's a lot to like about the changes. My thoughts in no particular order :- It's good to see more choices with the MDR. I'm sure those on longer cruises and back to backs will appreciate the change of scenery now they have four dining rooms to choose from. With the unique 25% menu choices passengers choices have doubled, in theory. Blu, genuinely disappointed they didn't eliminate it. It's old, tired and boring and food quality has certainly slipped. I'd have been pleased if it had been completely replaced with a new concept for aqua class. I appreciate how important it is to have standardisation across the fleet, but I believe it would have been better to replace Blu. Luminae, still relatively new so no surprises to see it stay at present. Tuscan Grill, again, glad to see it replaced. Qsine, it's fun the first time you go. It's more fun if there's a group of you, but once you've been there it gets very boring quickly. Very pleased to see it replaced. Murano, my favourite restaurant but hoping the replacements are as good if not better Raw on 5 sounds great and an improvement on Sushi on 5. The magic carpet may be seen as a gimmick, and it is. But I believe a lot of passengers with mobility issues will love it when tendering. And it could well be a pleasant area to dine on, so time will tell. Eden, looks good but need to experience it first hand to have any kind of meaningful thoughts. I note the costs of specialty dining are a lot more than the current offerings. The current restaurants are forever discounting Qsine, Tuscon and Murano. I suspect the prices of the new eateries have been inflated ready to discount to the levels they're currently failing to achieve. I was thinking of cancelling our Jan 2019 cruise as the itinerary is pretty boring. When I saw the reveal I realised 7 nights is not long enough and that I might extend with a B2B as dining is an important part of cruising for us.

mdcelebrity Posted March 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2018 1. I guess the First Cut Steakhouse will be the romantic, special occasion, venue a la Murano on the S-class ships? No tablesite preperation like Murano, tho? 2. Does anyone know where the Martini Bar will be, and if it will be bigger than that on the S-class ships? It is a very popular venue, but it is hard to get a seat to join in the fun. 3. Will The Club be a real late-night venue with live entertainment ... or just a EDM site ... or Quasar redux ?

Rare Lois R Posted March 2, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I have not kept up with any of this..........so there will be no main dining room......?...........oh....I see now, more than 1......I guess I will have to see how it goes......I always sail solo and don't want to make reservations this far ahead. I wonder if you can eat as a regular guest........will have to research a bit more.........I have a booking for January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkroad Posted March 3, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Found them.,,thanks again! Great:). You’re quite welcome. I agree that there are too many threads on similar topics. It’s very confusing. I noticed people were asking the same questions that had been asked and answered earlier on other threads, so I eventually posted links in several places. At least one other person was doing the same, but there was still a lot of confusion on the board. BTW that Blu menu looks very appealing. It’s going to be lovely to have so many dining choices. I hope you have a wonderful cruise. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted March 3, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 3, 2018 .......I was thinking of cancelling our Jan 2019 cruise as the itinerary is pretty boring. When I saw the reveal I realised 7 nights is not long enough and that I might extend with a B2B as dining is an important part of cruising for us. I think that’s a great idea! We booked a B2B on the March Caribbean Cruises even though we’ve been to those ports too much.....will enjoy the ship. We did book a few of the cooking classes in the ports so along with the great sounding 4 main dining experiences I’ll need to walk a lot. I think the new venues sound fantastic. And hello to Lois. I haven’t been on line much but good to be back and ‘see’ you. Looking forward to reading your opinion of the Edge in January Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
