We have been in LPC on 3 different ships in the last year and, based on our experience, each ship picks which of the 4 shows to offer each night. I like the original menu the best, but the graphics and show quality seem to be getting better with each new version. I think you will need to see what is offered when you board.

Your description matches our experience last year. Good to know that Celebrity honored the deal even with the re-price.

Yes, but our experience is that the price is much higher per meal when buying the 3 night package. We have purchased 8 to 10 night specialty dining packages for around $35 to $40USD (including gratuities) per meal during flash sales in the past. Most 3 night packages look like they are in the range where it might be best to wait until onboard and check if they are offering any discounts. At least the ones we see now are that price.

@Viveash thanks for providing that information. Not sure I understand Celebrity's reasoning, but now I know what is happening.

Those options (4 or 5 night) would probably work for us so I will keep checking online. I may even risk a call to the CC line. Yikes.

@mahdnc thanks for the information. I guess I will just have to keep checking online periodically. Not sure if I want to go "unlimited" but may try it on a ship that has the Lawn Club Grill as the filet mignon is fantastic and I could enjoy that more than once per cruise. By the way, we followed you on the Solstice and had Faniry as a stateroom attendant. I concur that she is a wonderful staff member and went out of her way to make sure everything was in order, even with the added cabins she was servicing.

I wonder if I need to use the website from my computer. Been using my phone version of the website, not the app, and maybe more options show when on the full version.

We have enjoyed the specialty restaurants on many of our Celebrity cruises over the last few years after finding some of the MDR menus to be repetitive. We have several cruises booked theough 2026 and I don't see the dining packages we used to book, 5-10 nights, available for any of them. I see an Unlimited Specialty Dining option and a 3 night option, but none of the others. Did Celebrity announce a fleetwide change that I missed? Any idea if those options might return?

We are currently on the Eclipse sailing back to Sydney after a fantastic trip around New Zealand. The ship arrives in Sydney on April 6 and then embarks for the South Pacific. We received our B2B instructions last evening and there was no mention of a monitored covid test requirement to sail B2B. We were told that a covid test would be required. Has anyone heard that this testing requirement has been suspended?

We recently disembarked from Constellation in Tampa and reserved an UberXL to take us to the airport a few days before and the charge was $45. I booked early to make sure that one was available. However, while waiting for the Uber driver to arrive I checked the Uber and Lyft apps and could have gotten the same ride for around $30 without a reservation. There were three of us so either way we would prefer the rideshare option over the bus simply for the privacy. We did watch the bus fill up and leave from the port and it looked like a great option.

I am planning to purchase a specialty dining package on the Eclipse next month. Does the 15% Elite+ discount apply to the packages or just individual dinner purchases?

Yes, there are tables for 2. We have enjoyed LPC many times and usually sit at a table for 2.

Thanks for the info. That is what I needed to know.

I always upgrade my drink package to premium, but our last two Celebrity cruises have provided limited value based on the wine and liquors available. I tend to gravitate to top shelf margaritas during the day and am happy with Cointreau and either Patron Silver or Don Julio Blanco, the latter is, or was, on the Classic Package list. I am thinking of saving the $20+ per day upgrade cost this time (Constellation next week) and just pay for anything over Classic Package. Anyone know what the cost is to add Cointreau to a drink with the Classic Package? I learn so much from CC and hope someone can answer this for me. Thanks.

All you have to do is ask for the enhanced RS menu and they bring those to your Concierge cabin. I've been doing this for several years when the room steward conveniently forgets to put the correct RS menu in the room.
