    To each their own..... but I rarely tip for drinks but on the last day if a bartender has been really good I’ll slip them $10-20.  

     

    This is pretty much what we did on our cruise last year! I don’t feel the need to tip with every drink to every server... I think it would really rack up and I don’t like to carry cash on board. Much prefer to tip the bar tenders we like at the end.

    I am interested in this buffet lunch, would you say the quality is just as good as having dinner there?  Anybody know the time lunch would be served there and is it only on sea/port days?

    I believe it’s on every day (I think). And it’s between 12pm-2pm

  3. So my husband and I always love to book the all you can eat lunch at Sushi on 5 rather than the al la carte menu. 

     

    Its always a bummer that you can’t pre book this through the dinner reservation system (as far as I’m aware.)

     

    what prices has everyone gotten on board for this? We managed to get a great $30 each price on the equinox last year. It was later in the cruise and the guy had dropped the price considerably.

  4. Our cruise on the Equinox last May had a white night! It was rather poorly advertised and not many people actually wore white! We didn’t know this actually happened on celebrity cruises! 

     

    We we were lucky enough to have had all white outfits with us !

  5. We waited until we were on board as we were also unsure about upgrading our classic package to a premium one!

    We stuck with the classic, never had to pay the difference as the selection for $9 or less in each venue was superb! Although only one person in our party would class themself as a wine connoisseur and she was never disappointed with the choices!

  6. Tomservo- From what I can tell these look like menus from the World Class bar and the Ensemble Lounge... you can order classic package spirits and cocktails ofc by letting the bar tender know what drinks package you’re on! 

     

    Thanks for the menu posts though 🙂 Good to get an update list!

    I have had no issues first two times, I emptied contents and asked them to take away ... my recent sailing on Equinox I asked same, I had contents take out and asked the room steward to take away and all he did was move it to another spot further back on the counter ???  Thanks for nothing.  He was not the greatest one we've had so wasn't totally surprised, he was nice enough though.

     

     

    We had the same issue on the Equinox. Our room steward wouldn’t take the items out of the room once we emptied them out of the mini bar! Seemed strange but maybe they’re been told they can’t do this anymore? 

     

    Either way way it took up valuable counter space but we used the fridge to store water and soda for the rest of the ship! They were cold but not super chilled.

  8. We always get the classic package as a perk on our cruises, but I think even without it as a perk we would purchase it! 

     

    As others have said- the drink “deals” and happy hours aren’t great deals but they do offer small discounts. See how your consumption is over the 1st few days and possibly purchase it later in your cruise if you’re unsure and don’t want to commit straight away for your whole cruise! 

     

    I found the the bar service excellent everywhere apart from in the OVC! The drinks waiters were very hard to flag down and took forever ( we were normally done eating when the drinks came.) Also if you went to get the drinks yourself the bar was so disorganised and they sometimes just ignored you! This may have just been specific to our cruise/ship but that was my experience.
