There will also be an event at 545 called music and mixology. I've seen it covered on YouTube and I'm going to be overserved again tonight 🤪. Cosmopolitan because it was pretty good last night. Do they close the Sky Lounge off to other guests during the Elite happy hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, yes. I would be disappointed to not be allowed in such a beautiful venue. It is only a couple hours and a few times a cruise but I can certainly see how that would be disappointing to someone who could not get in. Edited to add, not every elite happy hour. Just when they have events in here which I think was three times during the six nights. Edited January 31 by jam19872016 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwichick62 Posted January 31 #404 Share Posted January 31 Ok, thanks. It is disappointing and off putting when when more and more of a ships areas get closed off to general passengers. Three times in six nights is a lot. Concerned how often it will happen for my upcoming 13 night cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point was to create a space equivalent to the diamond lounge on Royal Caribbean but when the space was not previously blocked off to the general population it is understandable how that would upset people and it is a beautiful space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted January 31 Author #406 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Security checking on things. I've noticed a lot of security onboard. Feels like Carnival where it makes sense. Are they expecting the Carnival crowd or did they find out I'm onboard and want to make sure I behave 🤔 Edited January 31 by jam19872016 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also showed the game at the casino bar and I would bet it gets played in the theater, which is going to be your best bet for comfortable seating without showing up insanely early. I was in that sailing also but had to cancel. Enjoy the trip and Super Bowl at sea! Thanks for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted January 31 Author #409 Share Posted January 31 Just ran into the couple from boarding day I talked to on the shuttle. They have been reading my review also. Always great to meet people reading along! They may have witnessed me in the process of filling the mobile bar 😬 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #411 Share Posted February 1 (edited) I'm having some technical difficulties. Wifi keeps dropping so if I disappear it's not because I was mixing liquors. Well, that is possible, but it could also be the wifi. Edited February 1 by jam19872016 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Manhattan was not something I should have drank. Gross. Just champagne for the rest of the night. What's the saying? Liquor before wine, you'll be fine?

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #414 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Grand foyer is really not a great spot for these popular events. Showed up 10 minutes early all three decks full. Found a spot deep in the back of Al Bacio. Won't see anything but at least I can hear the music. Jump 🎶 Edited February 1 by jam19872016 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerned how often it will happen for my upcoming 13 night cruise. Pre shut down cruises, the CC HH gathering for Elite and above was held in the Sky Lounge for two hours (5 to 7) each evening of the cruise except the first evening. Wish the CC would go back to that. Twice for cruises between 5 and 7 nights. For longer sailings of 8 nights or longer, the lounge will be available three times for the CC HH Elite and above gathering.

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #421 Share Posted February 1 Very tasty. Could have been a little thicker, but it was indeed very good and brought a nice level of spice. Sautéed tilapia 856. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they allowed you to redeem HH anywhere that sounds nice, but I do like that it's available at every bar except a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights on the Beach Posted February 1 #423 Share Posted February 1 I'm way late to the party and have some reading to do to catch up! I've enjoyed following along on your other recent cruises and I'm excited to be here for the rest of this one. We're booked on Equinox for our first Celebrity cruise next year and I'm looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.🍻 The CC HH at most bars was a nice substitution. Post shutdown. Don't mean to Hi-Jack your thread. Thanks for taking us along on your cruise.

Rare jam19872016 Posted February 1 Author #425 Share Posted February 1 Tonight's fish was good. It's easy to want to compare it to last night's fish which would not be fair. By comparison, the tilapia was a bit pedestrian compared to trout, but it was still good. Came out very hot and served over a bed of pasta with tomato sauce. It was good, even if not the same level of sophistication as last night's fish option. Trying something new, butternut Farro 912. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
