Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. This baby and some Sushi from the Lido, and you’re good to go if staying in a balcony room. I found trolling rather challenging though so it’s better when you are in ports.
  2. More like an ex-wife for me…..I pay Celebrity each year the equivalent of what alimony would be!
  3. I think this all varies depending on the ship and the onshore concierge. Our last trip on Celebrity, in a Penthouse Suite on Constellation, we received both a phone call and an email. All dining reservation requests (including Luminae at a specified time) were taken care of. Our next trip in April is a b2b on Reflection. First leg in the Penthouse Suite, second in the Reflection Suite. No phone call, no email - I had to initiate by a call to the Retreat line. We requested dining reservations for each night at a specific time, and were told that they could not do that - and moved us to another time. I'm guessing our Butler will be able to change these for us, but bottom line is that our treatment was vastly different this time.
  4. My parents owned a travel agency in the 70s and 80s. Above Dad’s desk was a sign: “If you can afford to fly first class and don’t, your heirs will”.
  5. Not everyone who stays like that is wealthy. We work and save up to make our cruises special. And we read this forum. And we don’t have personal assistants. For us, we’d rather travel like that and go less often.
  6. We will be in that suite in 5 weeks. I will post about our experience. I am more worried about noise from the lounge next door.
  7. Four adults in one room - it'll be so crowded you'll need to speak in abbreviations.
  8. If you select “query” you can see future dates. For the 30th it’s showing 19.
  9. Make sure you select option 3 - if you choose the “already reserved” option, you get forwarded to regular sales. 3 will get you Retreat folks.
  10. Just to set expectations - HAL Club Orange is just a separate seating area (or venue depending on ship class) with the regular Dining Room menu plus one Club-Orange-Only entree. Service is typically better and more attentive than in the Dining Room. Also - it is not open for lunch.
  11. Bunco - when you are in IC - are you typically a party of more than 2? Is it overkill for 2?
  12. FINALLY!!!! Something’s advantageous about not having hair.
  13. Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
  14. We had the same thing. No way I’m going to call for a cup of coffee. Besides, I like walking around early when hardly anyone is around and you feel the ship “waking up”.
  15. There was a coffee/espresso maker and an electric tea kettle in the pantry of the PS. You can see them in YouTube videos for that cabin.
