Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Appreciate all the responses.. Don't think my math is wrong, but booking five nights of dining separately is approximately $135.00 more than booking a five night package..That kinda makes booking the package and being flexible with times &/or restaurants the logical choice.. I was trying to avoid the "board the ship and run" exercise that I go through on most cruises.
  2. Cruising on Reflection Sept. 2023...Want to book a multi night restaurant package, however doing it on the website only allows me to choose the “package” but not the nights or times for the different restaurants..The only way I can accomplish that is if I book the restaurants separately, which costs more. If we have to wait until we board, chances are we won’t get the times &/or restaurants we want..Does anyone know if I can do this via phone, perhaps through Captains Club?
  3. Does anyone know if the Super Bowl on February 12 will be shown in the theater with food provided?.. I know they've done it in the past but I'm a little concerned due to covid concerns.
  4. Cool...Thanks for the heads up..we’ve pre-booked Eden on the 2nd night...so it looks like lobster at least twice in 1 week.....may order it as a “side” at the steakhouse...
  5. Yep...Thanks to everyone for responding to my post
  6. Well, I called Celebrity twice in the last few months.. both calls were made when I had my bathroom break during sleep time around 3:00 to 4:00 a.m... no problem, less than 2 minute wait.😊
  7. Thanks a lot for the info.. on a 7-Day Cruise the second (last) evening Chic night is the 6th night of the cruise, correct?
  8. Trying to set up my dining schedule on upcoming Beyond cruise.. Past Celebrity cruises, if I recall correctly, had lobster night in the main dining room on the next to last night of cruise. Does anyone know if lobster night is still occurring on E-class ships, particularly Beyond, and do they have it in all four dining venues?
  9. Appreciate your logic and suggestion.. believe me, I understand price increases..my only point was "just raise the cost of the experience, don't show it as a gratuity, which to me appears to be a ploy to buy in to the "of course, I want to help the server" philosophy.. if the service is good, rest assured, I will take care of them..
  10. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; no reason to be a smart-ass.
  11. Sorry, don't agree.. based on cruises that I've been on, the prices have remained consistent and they just decided to add on a gratuity.. raising the price of the restaurants would at least be explainable and acceptable, given today's economy.. Raising the price by adding an 18% gratuity is insulting. Plus in the past you were able to buy a three or four night package at a relatively good discount, now the savings is a "whopping" 7 to 9%..
  12. Appreciate the response, however it's my understanding that a gratuity is based on service that I have received, not paid in advance for service I may receive.
  13. We are sailing on the Beyond, February, 2023..As we usually do on Celebrity website, wanted to book our specialty restaurants in advance..However, we now see that Celebrity is adding an 18% gratuity to the cost of the restaurant booking..Never had to pay a gratuity in advance..So, in the event that the service is below par, we have pre-committed to an 18% gratuity..I understand that although we have prepaid gratuities, specialty restaurants may not be included under that umbrella..But, any added gratuity to my experience in a specialty restaurant should be determined by us, not Celebrity..
  14. We’ll be on the Beyond in January to the Caribbean..Trying, for the first time, a sunset veranda. Its on Deck 7, directly over the Eden Lounge. Has anyone experienced this location? Any issues?
  15. We will be disembarking Beyond in Barcelona and catching a morning flight back to the U.S... trying to find out if Celebrity will offer a free onboard Covid test 1 day prior to or day of disembarkation. We need to show negative test to be able to fly home, and it will be a race to find a facility to administer test prior to our flight if Celebrity does not do that, as other lines do...Appreciate any input.
