Rare Smellytoes Posted October 17, 2023 Author #26 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Last night we skipped the show and just watched the band at the lounge before dinner in the mdr. The stuffed mushroom was very good and the flank steak was cooked to perfection 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Smellytoes Posted October 17, 2023 Author #27 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Another thing I want to mention is the scrambled eggs in the buffet. On most cruises I’ve been on they are usually pretty gross. These eggs are perfectly cooked. Nice and fluffy Id book another celebrity cruise just for those eggs 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 18, 2023 Author #30 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Yesterday was another beautiful day at the pool. The weather has been perfect this cruise. Saw the show ,Life, then dinner in the mdr. I ad a fried fish which was not on the menu on the app. It was very good. We had reservations at le petite chef but they changed the menu from when I booked so we cancelled 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offer alternatives to the scheduled menu. While I find the food good, we really go for the show. We go once per sailing on each ship.

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 18, 2023 Author #32 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Also if you book shore excursions check the time on your shore excursion ticket. When I booked the excursion was at 1:00 pm. When I read the ticket it had changed to 11 am. If I hadn’t really read the ticket I would have missed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepoint Posted October 18, 2023 #35 Share Posted October 18, 2023 On 10/15/2023 at 6:28 AM, Smellytoes said: Dinner was at the main dining room. We have select dining but made reservations every night. I had a fish cake appetizer that wasn’t on the menu on the app It was excellent then had a shrimp scampi that was served with rice (also not on the app menu) and a steak Dianne which unfortunately was inedible. Very chewy. The shrimp scampi was very good. Tonight dinner is at Tuscan grille Just wondering, if items are not on the menu - do they give you a paper menu in the restaurant, or does the waiter tell you additional items without your asking? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 19, 2023 Author #39 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Last night we ran into our first service issue. The waiter brought my daughters food but forgot mine.

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 19, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I just spent today snorkeling in Bonaire and visiting Klein Bonaire.

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 19, 2023 Author #44 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Another thing I want to mention most bartenders are allowing us to order two drinks at a time. So far only one said no 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 20, 2023 Author #46 Share Posted October 20, 2023 After snorkeling all day in Bonaire I skipped the show and just hung out at the rendezvous lounge then had dinner and went to bed. The mushroom tempura appetizer was great. The turkey dinner was ok 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did come up to us last night and profusely apologized. I reassured him that it wasn’t his fault that I was too tired to hang around. He really is a sweet kid doing the best he can 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is a sweet kid doing the best he can Thank you for taking the time out of your holiday to do a live review. I know from experience they do take up time. Your attitude to cruising is perfect…Things aren’t always going to be perfect but if you value the good you are guaranteed a great voyage! Remember on nights you are really tired the buffet is a good option… Looking forward to following the remainder of your live post… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry but I cannot see how it could be anything other than the waiter's fault. He served your daughter her food, he should have yours with him at the same time. That is how my wife and I have always been served. Not getting your food to you is no one other than the waiter's fault. Unless, as Rich said, there is something missing in this story. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
