    Inside Access Tour

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    A few questions on Celebrity's Inside Access (behind the scenes) tour on an S-Class ship...

     

    1. What is the cost?

    2. How long does the tour last?

    3. How do you reserve space since I don't see this offered on the website?

    4. For those who have taken this tour, was it worth the cost?

     

    Thank you!

    wow, they certainly got that wrong!!!!!it seats more than 32 in the tables near the windows!!! I didn't count the seats but I would say 120 - 150. the other thing on this other site said reservations required...not at all... Blu is anytime dining. I will be very sad to not be dining there on my next cruise...we are not aquaclass for that one.... enjoy!!!!

     

     

    cheers

    I'm thinking (based on my memory and our Silhouette sailing last year) there are actually 32 tables. 282 days til we set sail!!! Can't wait!:)

    we have just recently cruised 13nights Sydney Australia to New Zealand on Solstice. we never experienced a problem with dining in Blu. on Port days they open earlier for breakfast so you can make your shore excursions. We liked to dine 7-730 pretty much peak hour for cruise dining and never had to wait for a table and the food was awesome.

     

    cheers

    Thanks Belinda - We thought the food was delicious too. I'm glad to hear that you didn't experience any wait. I was concerned after reading on another site (http://www.cruisemapper.com/ships/Celebrity-Solstice-676) that Blu only seated 32. This is obviously incorrect based on the feedback you and others provided. Thanks again for responding.

    We spent 30+ days on the Solstice this fall, and the Solstice Blu looked the same size to me as the ones on other S-class ships we have been on. But I happen to have a copy of the 2012/13 "Celebrity's Travel Agent Guide" which was given to me by a onboard future cruise sales person several years ago. In addition to having floor plans for individual ships this guide also lists the seating capacity for public spaces and restaurants. Indeed, the seating capacity for Blu is listed as the same for all S-class ships.

     

    Thank you. This is also good news and reassuring. I appreciate your feedback.

    Wherever you got that info, it was wrong, have done both saw no problem. There is really no difference between Solstice and Silhouette. Reflection is or actually was a bit of a problem because they used to have Aqua Class Suites which ate in Blu, now they eat in Luminae.

     

    Good to hear. I can't remember where I read about the smaller size restaurant. Thanks for your feedback.

    I have cruised on Silhouette, in Aqua Class, and loved everything about Blu. Next up is a cruise on Solstice, and I have read that Blu's seating capacity on Solstice is much smaller. If I recall correctly, Blu does not take reservations. I was wondering if any Solstice alumni who have dined at Blu, experienced delays with dinner or breakfast seating? If so, can you offer any tips on how to avoid such delays? Thanks.

    March madness on Silhouette?

    I sailed on Silhouette in October. Sports could be found on the TVs in the casino (NFL Football) and also in the bar behind the main stairway on Deck 5 (Rugby/Soccer). NCAA Basketball might not always be available. One option might be to watch via streaming on your computer, but be warned -- internet speeds onboard are ridiculously slow.
