Awesome band played the best rock n roll classics ever. The woman who sings the Joplin song is AMAZING! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are enjoying this cruise as much as we are. It's been great. Enjoyed our dinners last week at Tuscan, Cosmopolitan and Normandie, with Normandie being our favorite. Since we had 450 in OBC this week, we will be at Fine Cuts and Eden twice each and still have 120 to burn. We'll have to pick a time and location to have a drink this week.

I thought the staff had to serve everything so the pax didn't touch the tongs. Those desserts.... groan...... No self serve at all. Staff does it all.

Rare CruiserKris34 Posted January 9, 2022 #257 Share Posted January 9, 2022 First of all, thank you for all of the posts & especially pictures....they are great!! We're debating booking the Apex for 2/26. Can you use OBC in the casino? And do the slots seem any better or worse than land-based casinos? Are they doing table games, like 3 card? I like to gamble 🙂 LOL Thx! Kris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead there are four, Tuscan (Italian), Cosmopolitan (American), Cyprus (Mediterranean), & Normandie (French). Each location has there own specialty menu that remains constant for that venue only. There is also the classic menu that remains constant all of the time at all four venues such as french onion soup, caesar salad and shrimp cocktail under apps and ny strip steak, chicken breast and grilled salmon for entrees. In addition there are the daily choices that are constant in all four venues but change in a daily basis. The bottom line is that you have 10 apps and 10 entrees to choose from on a daily basis. Thanks for the info. I’m sold 😀. @BennyBrun pictures are making me very hungry and the ship, oh my it looks beautiful. I actually researched this morning so Celebrity should pay him commission. Is the Beyond going to be the same? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beyond is going to be slightly larger, have two cantilevered pools and if you have deep pockets the Retreat is going to be enlarged and improved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabmab Posted January 9, 2022 #265 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Tks for this great live post! We were on the Apex out of Piraeus in August with 400 passengers. Best cruise ever. Supposed to be on the Connie currently but we cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted January 9, 2022 #266 Share Posted January 9, 2022 @BennyBrun....WOWZA what a beauty of a ship! Talk about cruising in luxury, guessing it is pretty pricey to sail on Celebrity. Your photos are amazing and really enjoying following along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We were on deck 9 inside cabin, this week we're on deck 8 IV cabin that we booked 2 years ago on the Edge. Last week we got upgraded to an IV concierge cabin on deck 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a perks free inside cabin, it's very reasonable if you can get one last minute. We did our 5 day inside with classic drinks package, wifi and tips for about 700 pp all in with port fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the almond croissants are to die for. Nicely washed down with a double espresso over ice with Baileys. I LOVE the almond croissant. I hand write that on my breakfast menu for room service. They are so nice and always include that on my tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like photo reviews so people can judge for themselves. Not a fan of over the top click bait travel reviews. it’s going to be hard to say farewell but we have Oasis of the Sea at the end of January to look forward to so we will try to hang in there. Please come along and join another virtual cruise. It’s going to be a different tone than the current reviews on Royal’s board. Hope you wont be too let down. E Class was a much finer experience, Oasis was Okay but dining , shopping and the ship itself could not compare. It did have good music and shows but there were line ups for everything..maybe not a factor nowadays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
