jg51 Posted August 26, 2021 #877 Share Posted August 26, 2021 . Dear "aring75," Some day -- we promise -- we will leave you in peace, but ... 1. We may have overlooked it somehow, but we think that you have not yet posted a photo of the Pool Bar's beverage menu. They do have some unique items there, we believe. 2. We're not sure if you posted the Spa Cafe's menu (which has smoothies and unusual fresh-squeezed juices -- as well as various foods). Thanks. .

For my upcoming Equinox sailing I noticed they recently changed the available Le Petit Chef options. The original Le Petit Chef is there and it appears to be the new one as well, Le Petit Chef and Family. It wasn't like this a couple of weeks ago (It was originally Le Petit & Le Petit and Friends). I knew the new menu was going to be on the Apex but it seems it may be working it's way to other ships. They also originally had Le Petit Chef at the second half of the cruise but now it's showing on the first half of the cruise. The new menu also has a different alternate menu. We're on the same upcoming sailing so if the new menu is actually offered, you can try it. 😃 🍹 Good morning! Thanks for the Qsine replies. Really wish they would bring back the old Qsine menu/style in some way - very much enjoys, and only so much of the hologram. BTW, Kathy and I (and Dad) are on the December 10th Equinox - hoping the islands work out the kinks by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkite Posted August 26, 2021 #880 Share Posted August 26, 2021 aring75, have you had a chance to attending any of the glass shows? We enjoyed attending them years ago when we were on the Celebrity Solstice. In fact they had to cancel one of the shows when a swarm of bees invaded the area.

choochella Posted August 26, 2021 #882 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Aring75, not sure if this is a duplicate question, but curious how anytime dining is being addressed. Are they placing 6-8 at a table, or just seating individual parties based on their party amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just show up, and if they have a table for 2, the maitre'd will seat you. If not, he/she will ask if you are willing to share. Your other options are Oceanview Cafe or a specialty restaurant.

I was just curious if this method of dining was still practiced in lieu of the pandemic, or if you were seated at a table with whomever was in your party.

Yes, "alibaba1," we agree that the Preismans' site is a great one (which we have been visiting for more than five years) ... but you misspelled the URL. It is www.thepreismans.com Mike has not posted anything there in 2021, so some of his info is slightly dated. Some of the last cruise's info (from February, 2020) is still up-to-date.

This will be the 3rd production show featuring the singers and dancers so far. Also. There is an 80s party tonight! Radical. Wouldn’t you know it. I forgot to pack my leg warmers. Did you go to the 80’s show? We’re there any one dressed the part? Was it more of a party or a show? Thank you for all you’re sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed Celebrity many times and have enjoyed the anytime dining and always sat at a table with others. It’s a great way to meet fellow passengers. I was just curious if this method of dining was still practiced in lieu of the pandemic, or if you were seated at a table with whomever was in your party. Choochella, we were on the Equinox a few weeks ago. At that time, they were seating people with other passengers not in your travel group, if you wished. However, in our experience it didn't seem to be working very well. Since we were sailing at reduced capacity (somewhere between 40-50%), you might have to wait a long time for others to arrive at your table. It seems that most passengers request private tables. On our last night, we experienced unusually slow service while waiting for others to join our table. Another time, we just gave up and asked to be moved to a table for two so that we could go ahead and be served. This may not be a problem for you if you are OK with long dining times. Depends on whatever other plans you have for the evening in addition to dinner. Also, as they ramp up capacity (and I have no idea what the plan is for that), with more passengers on board you may find tablemates more quickly. But the short answer to your question is that yes, in spite of Covid, they are (or were, on our July 25 cruise) seating strangers together if you wished. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the MDR tastes like lobster broth with no actual lobster. My bowl had four good-sized pieces of lobster. Next up was the pork belly. It had roasted apple pieces and parsnip purée. We decided to share the chateaubriand for two and then share an order of the lobster. They prepared our chateaubriand, but decided we each needed our own lobster tail. This was so much food. Do they ask how well done you want it? Or is it standard medium rare ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it came out after 6:00am, the EQ moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
