Example on mine the Solstice 2 Sept STARTERS: Creamy Butternut Squash Soup Classic Ceasar Salad ENTREES Roast Salmon with sauteed spinach, fingerling mashed potato and caper vinaigrette Moroccan Braised Short Ribs Sultana couscous, toasted almonds, cinnamon charred carrots. Grilled Chicken Paillard arugula, over dried grape tomato, shallot vinaigrette, and French fries Whole Wheat Penne Pasta braised tomatoes, leeks asparagus and herb ricotta crostini DESERTS Chocolate cake with layers of dulce de leche and chocolate fudge Warm Apple Pie with vanilla bean gelato and candied walnuts WINE RECOMENDATIONS Chardonnay, Elegance by Celebrity Cruises & Jackson Family Wines $11/$43 Cabernet Sauvignon, Elegance by Celebrity Cruises & JAckson Family Wines $11/$48 I love the braised short ribs. Unfortunately didn't book a concierge this time but pretty sure they will be in the MDR one evening. I prefer the Elegance pinot noir to the cab just find the pinot more flavourful.

Cruising Cindy Lou Posted March 6, 2023 #53 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I have never been in concierge room before. Our next cruise we were assigned concierge. What benefits are there with this type of room booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What benefits are there with this type of room booking? A lunch in the dining room on embarkation day, 2 more points per night than a balcony, possibly, foo-foo snacks delivered to your room and access to a concierge. We did get a helipad invite once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bottle of sparkling wine which was handy as I made mimosas with breakfast on balcony. Got helipad invite also drinks were mimosas but one night they offered a blue moon martini so nice change. I went to a second helipad sail but in all honesty I preferred the view from my balcony as it was a sunset verandah. Canapes are not good but I asked for cheese and crackers instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canapes are weird often, so we also got cheese and crackers instead. First cruise (when I had concierge) I asked the concierge for no fish in the canapes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our daughter just returned from a cruise on Reflection and they had changed the Short Ribs to Beef Bourguignon at the concierge lunch. We go in a few weeks and I love the short ribs too, so disappointed. She said the Bourguignon was good. Anyone have a current menu? I would like to see what else is offered and she doesn't remember.. And I'm not seeing short ribs on any of the MDR menus... Edited March 6, 2023 by landlocked406 adding info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our last Aqua class booking in 2019, our friends were in a Concierge cabin and we were given a strong NO when they asked if we could join them for the embarkation lunch.
