Rare ghstudio Posted July 5, 2019 Author #52 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) The extreme heat continues...I am drinking Campari and soda to stay cool. I would drink apperol, but it is over the classic limit....which is rediculous. Food continues to be good. Ayce sushi $34..apparently cc discounts don’t apply, but I’m not sure the folks will asked actually knew. Lots of special (fee) dining events....drink tasting...wine tasting. The push for additional revenue is getting annoying. MDr staff is great....select seating really is working well. Almost too hot to go on deck....we sit on our quiet balcony. Elite 5-7 and classic package both work smoothly. The usually don’t even bother to take your card...just your stateroom no. Casino remains somewhat busy...usually someone at craps...a table or 2 of blackjack and live dealer Texas Holden...I haven’t seen anyone at roulette. martini bar always busy..but always seats. Reflection bar (deck 11) is usually almost empty..I guess most drink outside...but the heat.... Edited July 5, 2019 by ghstudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted July 5, 2019 Author #53 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Buffet on 10 lunch....Thai soups last two days....wonderfully spicy. Indian lunch today was great...no need to pay for the Indian dinner. They are clearing tables so fast that if you take the last of your meal on a fork, they may take the plate before that food reaches your mouth. Do not put down an almost finished drink....a hand will appear 🙂. Seriously though, they are cleaning tables very quickly so you actually can find seats. I’d bet that half the ship doesn’t know there is a pasta bar, a pizza bar and a grill where they can get a steak or grilled fish or chicken for lunch....all in the very rear of the buffet area. Finally, the cakes look wonderful, the names sound wonderful...but they really aren’t very good..sad, but true. Fruit is very good though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ghstudio Posted July 6, 2019 Author #56 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The heat wave continues...almost too hot to walk around. Magician last night was incredibly good. Select dining continues to work well. We lost toilets and hot water yesterday for a few hours....but all is well again. Casino very busy last night...blackjack and roulette. No surprises to report.

On va faire notre 1ère croisière sur célébrity, après 4 sur Msc en yacht club, donc on va embarquer sur le constellation le 6 août au départ de Venise vers les îles grecques On sera dans la cabine 11031, j'espère qu'elle sera calme. On a le forfait classique, l agence nous a dit que le verre serait jusqu'à 10€? On boit peu d'alcool mais on aime les bon café et les boissons originales et moi les vins blancs de temps à autres, Est-ce qu'avec notre forfait on sera satisfait où il faudrait que l'on passe en premium? On a l'habitude en yacht club d'avoir un all-inclusive (boisson et mini bar) Dernière question auriez-vous les tarifs de la blanchisserie ? Merci pour le temps que vous passez à répondre à nos questions et des astuces que vous nous donnerez On a réservé avant nous aussi à l'hôtel olympia qui viendra nous chercher à l'aéroport Si vous aller A Barcelone ne manquait pas la sagrada familia et la rambla c'est splendide Rome nous avons fait le tour de la ville avec une guide qui viens nous chercher au port on a adoré pour 50€/personne, elle parle français et anglais Bonne croisière Thanks for the info.

txtechmk Posted July 6, 2019 #58 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Our first Celebrity cruise was on the Connie last fall. We enjoyed it very much; everything was perfect! We stayed in a Sky Suite and enjoyed all the perks it had to offer. Sailed from Rome to Barcelona. I thought the ship was in really good shape. We enjoyed it so much, we are sailing next year on the Reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there an explanation for losing hot water and toilets? The aging M class ships are a concern...Thank goodness you did lose A/C..We had that a few times on the Infinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted July 6, 2019 Author #62 Share Posted July 6, 2019 No explanation, but we didn’t ask. We’ve had disruptions like this on many ships...not a big deal to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Lord man. Ask your grandchild how to use the thing. Or read the online manual. Look at the top right corner of your screen. See the + right under the time? Touch it and a new screen opens. Type what you need into the search bar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesseslola Posted July 7, 2019 #65 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Ghstudio, even on the ship, it is extremely hot? Is there a break after sundown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted July 7, 2019 Author #66 Share Posted July 7, 2019 The ship, of course, is a/c. Also the breeze cools things down a bit at night so it’s more comfortable after the sn goes down. It’s only hot when ship is still or you are walking during the day. Today, we are going to Herculean...open sun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downsmead Posted July 7, 2019 #68 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Thank you for highlighting how hot it is. We board the Connie in 3 weeks and although are used to the Med in August, it seems to be a particularly HOT one this year. Luckily this is meant to be more of a 'chilling' cruise so not too many things planned. I had decided not to get off in Athens and see on another post that the Acropolis was closed one day because of the heat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted July 7, 2019 Author #69 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Martini bar update....noisy space now due to canned music. Bartenders lack energy. Additionally, the selection of vodkas has gone down. Absolut elix which is listed as on the premium package isn’t available. Most of the more expensive vodkas have disappeared ...very disappointing. Herculenium was bearable...fair amount of shade to hide in. Too hot to walk around Naples and it’s sunday so we’ll just do this pm on the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
