LIVE on Reflection 5 February 2022. Have questions ? ask away.

[Heimey]

What can you tell us about lido lounges. Are they spread out? Reduced in numbers? Even though the capacity is down, will we have problems finding a lounge?

 

thanks again for answering our questions

Heimey

Are you asking about lounger at the pool?   Yesterday was embarkation and there were some at the pool but not many.  Today is a sea day, It is a bit on the cool side today so probably not the same as a warm or hot day.  But there have not been crowds anywhere I have been.

[Heimey]

Yes sorry. Lounge chairs. Just wondering if we r going to b fighting for them like before Covid.

 

thanks

I'm not on this particular cruise (following because we're on the Reflection in March), but we've done 3 since the restart, all at no more than 50%-60% passenger capacity, and have found little difficulty finding a lounger wherever we wanted one.

 

That said, the "Chair Hogs" are still out in full force. We continue to see people placing items on loungers first thing in the morning to "save" them, and sometimes literally never showing up to use them; or leaving items on loungers while they disappear for hours at a time in the middle of the day. Very frustrating to see, but not surprising I suppose.

Nobody I know has been there yet.

I was at the Lawn Club Grill the week before last.  We booked for first night dinner; and it was so good that we booked for another dinner and one seaday lunch.

Highly recommend!

I guess that depends on when you are going. Right now with 1/3 the capacity, there’s not very many people anywhere. If you absolutely need to be in a lounge chair next to the pool, well then maybe you’ll have trouble. But there are plenty of empty lounge chairs in other places.

Thank you for that. I'm really looking forward to dining at the LCG while we're on board. Always enjoyed it on the Silhouette. 👍

Today was sunny and pleasant and nearly all of the loungers in the first row closest to the pool were occupied when people returned from shore in the afternoon, but there were plenty available in the shade and even more on the terrace overlooking the pool on deck 15

Dinner last night in Tuscan Grill was absolutely delicious. It is just way too much food.

[remarcm]

I agree. The food is wonderful but just way to much. We ate in Murano Sunday night and didn't last until the cheese or dessert. Looked fairly full in Tuscan last night when we came out of Blu.

[cruisestitch]

Our group of 43 was eating in Tuscan last and there were other tables as well, so it was very full. They pulled waiters from the MDR to serve us there.

Have you been to Murano's?  I got an email from Celebrity with a menu and the Dover Sole is not on it. In fact, the entree choices are pretty slim.

I haven’t been there but I just checked the app and it is still showing exactly the same menu I recall from the past, including the Dover sole.
 

Perhaps the email that you got was advertising one of their special menus.

[CHEZMARYLOU]

Thanks, I hope so.  The menu disappeared from our app a month ago along with several others.

Is it fairly easy to get specialty restaurant reservations? Are they offering any discounts?

[cruisestitch]

With only 30% of the passengers on board, it doesn’t seem to be a problem to get reservations. Your main dining room waiter can get you a discount, and there are other people stationed around the ship happy to take your name and room number and give you some sort of discount

Thank you. We plan on eating there at least 7 nights on our March cruise.

Benjamin was outstanding on Reflection a couple of weeks ago.

So Patrick is still the CD?  He was on our Jan 2 cruise.  We love him.  But I thought I saw a sheet showing the Master, etc. and he wasn’t on it.  Is Capt Nik still the Master?
