It's priced pretty high to make it an easy choice to pay the extra to upgrade if you wish to enjoy some martinis. But paying the whole balance, $17, is an unnessasary markup. To quote what I overheard a man saying to his wife while looking at the World Bar menu "for that price does it at least include some vasolene". 6 hours ago, exlondoner said: It seems to me the only reason for having pineapples on your door is so you can invert them when the mood takes you. Maybe they own a pineapple farm? Seems plausable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 29 Author #231 Share Posted January 29 Breakfast acquired. Just a little nibble to hold me until lunch. My favorite treat I've only found on Celebrity is fried bread. It's been missing but turned up again last cruise but sadly it's gone missing again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bed is a little firm but I don't think that was the problem. Sometimes a night of drinking leads to restless sleep with constant vivid dreams and tossing and turning, and that is what happened last night. I was about to get up around 8 when I finally fell back asleep. At 10, the captain came on, in the room, to deliver his navigational update. I am pretty sure that is a first. But then, the CD comes on, also inside the room, to tell us about today's activities. He literally went on and on for about five minutes reading off everything including art auctions and diamond and gemstones seminars. Very tacky. I hope maybe he hit the wrong button, maybe the general announcement button is right next to the emergency announcement button. I have never had these kind of basic fyi messages come inside my cabin and I don't want them to every morning when I am trying to sleep. Interesting. I’ve never heard the morning announcement in the cabin in celebrity. Very annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what time it starts on port days? Even earlier, before arrival presumably? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have six days and I don't want to spend them at dinner. The trouble is I don't want to do the buffet and that is the only other option. I think the free desserts at Cafe al Bacio are the best.... the ones in the Oceanview look good but don't usually have a lot of taste.

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 29 Author #239 Share Posted January 29 Coffee time. They are slammed but I counted five baristas slinging coffee behind that little counter so they are well staffed to handle the crowds. Enjoying it in the quiet ensemble lounge just away from the madness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea those have been good. I was going to grab a couple with my coffee but want to wait till lunch to start eating besides the light bite I had for breakfast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twins_to_alaska Posted January 29 #242 Share Posted January 29 (edited) When the chocolate tarts first show up at Cafe Al Bacio I usually get a bag full and store in the room cooler 'fridge' and eat as the cruise progresses. I've been disappointed before hoping they'd come back later in the cruise. Edited January 29 by twins_to_alaska 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted January 29 Author #243 Share Posted January 29 Gonna check on those missing casino benefit minutes then probably head off to the dining room for some lunch or the gym to exercise. Two very different activities just not sure which I'm gonna choose 😅 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye out, but just one have to use some sort of self control, a fridge full of tarts quickly escalates to eating a fridge full of tarts for me 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 29 Author #248 Share Posted January 29 So I don't really understand how this all works. If I could choose between 90 minutes wifi, or 30% off, of course I'm going to choose the 30% off. Last time I wasn't doing a live, cruise was four days, and one day was key west. Figured 90 free minutes plus one day at full price would be the way to go but when I went to purchase, it still gave a discount. No discount today. So am I not entitled to the discount? Or should I be asking guest relations for a credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted January 29 Author #250 Share Posted January 29 The boat was rocking too much for my scale to work this morning. I laid out my clothes in a strategic order based on how well they fit, since some are not going to fit by the end of the week 😅. Yesterday I was impressed with how well the tightest pants went on. Today was a struggle. Lots of steps in though Yesterday. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
