All appetizers on the menu are brought to your table and served bento box style

Beach Club menus-

Our lunch is scheduled for 12, so will post photos then. I have a photo of information on how the drink packages work here a few posts up, but essentially premium drink packages cover up to 14.00 drinks.

You’re very welcome. I’ve always received great information on these forums so I’m hoping to pay it forward by helping others.

Yes, there are definitely more kids on board this week than there were last week. We started sailing RCI in the late 90’s and remember tendering into Coco Cay. It was just a pretty place with some loungers and hammocks, a buffet (we remember seagulls attacking our lunch), and chickens roaming about. It’s definitely very different now. We are enjoying our time at the Beach Club right now. The weather is beautiful, it’s not too crowded, and so far everything is very nice.

There’s a little free book library 😄

Some more photos- float mats, swim vests, seating areas, continental breakfast area, infinity pool-

The Beach Club has a welcome specialty cocktail (non alcoholic also available). Make sure you have your reservation for lunch taken care of. Chairs, umbrellas, and float mats are first come, first served. Towels are also provided-

There’s tram service from the ship to the end of the pier, and then another tram will take you to the other areas of Coco Cay-

Information for Celebrity passengers who have classic or premium drink packages-

And the first Celebrity ship has arrived at Coco Cay

Here’s the letter we received for our Coco Beach Club reservation-

Gifts left in our cabin tonight to commemorate the first Celebrity ship to stop at Coco Cay. Guests are asked to wear the orange wristbands so that mgt can track how many from Celebrity are ashore in Coco Cay for the day-

It’s much quieter in Michael’s Club compared to last week, at least tonight. It seems like there are more kids on board as well. I’m not sure if it’s due to the stop at Coco Cay tomorrow. Tonight we’re doing the early show, then late dinner. Tomorrow is early at Coco Cay. There are no excursion tickets, but your name is on a list. Any drink package works on the island, otherwise it’s drinks available for purchase.

There’s a lot of buzz on board about Perfect Day (they’re already playing the song on the pool deck). The Luminae host has already booked our lunch time reservation for the Beach Club- she asked us this morning what time we wanted for our reservation 👍.

Photos of the Signature Suite, and note the included 2 bottles of spirits 👍

Photos of the Reflection Suite

Super easy procedure for B2B. We were escorted out of Michael’s Club and waited about 5 minutes until customs was ready for us. After facial recognition we were given new sea pass cards, new photos when we dinged back onboard. We are in the same cabin again , CS on deck 11. We met our butler for a tour of the Reflection suite and Signature Suites. I’ll upload photos later. We’re currently enjoying a quiet pool, although a large group of TAs just passed through.

As we get ready to switch over to the next leg I’m reflecting (see what I did there 😉) on the first part of the B2B. I would give embarkation an A+, our cabin, butler, and attendant an A+++, Luminae a high B+, specialty dining an A, entertainment and activities B+. One of the very few low points was the World Wine Tour which was like speed dating with wine. Looking forward to the next five days onboard.

We’ve been in that suite and also had some issues. Everything has been wonderful on the Reflection (other than smoking on a neighboring balcony 😑).

Beautiful night sailing back to Ft. Lauderdale-

Just finishing up the World Wine Tour in Cellar Masters. It wasn’t what we expected. I would compare it to drinking around the world in Epcot 🙃.

Consecutive cruise meeting had helpful information for us as this is our first B2B, plus we won a bottle of wine 👍. We meet in Tuscan Grill tomorrow at 9:15 with all our documents. We were told consecutive cruise passengers will have access to the Concierge embarkation lunch listed 12:30-2:00.

Here’s the information we received for consecutive cruisers and the Cellar Master schedule of events for this sailing-

Dinner in Luminae was much calmer last night, so calm that we ended up taking photos of my husband and the Maitre D’s shoes instead of the main course of cold poached lobster. Everything we had was very good. The restaurant was less than half full when we arrived just before 8. Dinner and shoe photos-
