Help me guess the chic nights, please?


Recommended Posts

It's been a long time since I sailed with Celebrity.  I'd like to book in some specialty dining for my upcoming cruise, and if possible would like to keep the chic nights (especially 'lobster night') free to dine in the MDR.  Would any Celebrity experts be able to take a look at my itinerary and offer advice on when the chic nights will most likely be?  I thought maybe the first and last sea day.  Please and thank you!

Have you checked the app ?

see which night has lobster 

 

 

Ah, great thinking, this is why I rely on the knowledge here.  I've installed and set up the app now - alas no MDR menus posted yet.  It does seem a bit early.

 

I thought they might follow a fairly predictable pattern that experienced cruisers would know about.

 Normally on a sailing of that length there would be 3 Chic nights but that’s is a port intensive itinerary

 

If it were me I would plan for 11/28 and 12/4 being EC nights with lobster on 12/4.

Our November 21 cruise has the first 9 days of the menu are posted for a couple of months already  , so I thought your would also be post

It was still very useful advice to get the app downloaded, I now have all my anytime dining reservations done!

1. Sun Nov 24 Port Kelang

It’s quite possible that Solstice will have its first Evening Chic night on Day 3 (Nov 25) but since it’s an overnight port day when passengers may stay ashore for dinner, I don’t think that’ll happen. 

 

2. Fri Nov 29 At Sea

This is at the midpoint of your cruise

 

3. Wed Dec 4 At Sea

The other likely date for your third and final Evening Chic night aboard Solstice is the following day at Mormugao. But I’m guessing it’ll be scheduled during your last Sea Day.
