These are the kind of things that make me change where I spend my money. Sounds like they “guarantee” nothing up front. 

I’m wondering the same thing. Thinking about bringing some shoes I can toss afterwards. There are some videos on YouTube that show what it’s like.  

After many visits to Grand Cayman, I finally did the stingray city tour. It was so fun!

 I see Celebrity is taking 40% off four cards for deal or no deal game onboard.

My question is can you use one card at 4 different sessions or do you use all four for one game?

There is no date designation when you try to buy them.

Thanks 

Steve

 

You use the cards at the same time for all of the games. More chances to win.

Try OVC.  They had a tray of fish fingers and not much else this winter as the result of the cutbacks.  Some reports that some other options are available from more recent months. 

I go for the fish and chips in OVC. They are usually pretty good at lunch. Last cruise one day they were good and later in the week, they were not.

We left the Equinox on Sunday, August 27. We were in a Sky Suite, so our Dining Room was Luminae. I was told that there is NO LONGER a kid’s filet (4 oz) available. Our beef choices were either Luminae’s, or the MDR. We really used to enjoy the small filet when nothing else seemed appealing.

I think they just switched it. In July they still had the fillet, but in august, it was a different cut.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the kids menu, even on the app. Where do you find it?

You can ask your waiter. For kids, it’s the same menu every day. 

Celebrity from Bayonne NJ also has 3 nights in Bermuda.

Yes, he can stay onboard and watch you. It was so fun. I can’t wait to go back. 

I like that you can see your point balance and offers online with Royal without having to call and wait on hold. 

You can head over when you want. 

To me, it’s above average, but not premium. If there were a lot less passengers on board, the crew would be able to provide premium service and you would be able to find a lounge chair at the pool. All cruise lines are probably making cuts. There are things I like about celebrity that keep me coming back. 

Yes, I have ordered the kids spaghetti. I’ve been tempted to try the fish fingers. 

Nice to hear. Have been thinking of trying them. 

If the weather is nice, I’d probably check out the new dock area and then get back on the ship. 

The chicken sandwiches and fries are really good. 

Sometimes I have a bag of the kettle chips. I think they are $4. 

I had some labeled rye, but it tasted like raisin bread to me and they had sour dough rolls, but they weren’t very tangy. I usually go for a roll, and they were all good.

Does anybody realize that having a private island ensures every dollar spent goes directly into Royal Caribbean's coffers instead of providing income to locals near ports.

I would love spending money in the Bahamas, but in my experience, the locals were not very welcoming. This is the reason I no longer exit the ship in Nassau. 

We went to a nearby beach, but next time I’m going to book the fury catamaran for snorkeling.

You can book onboard then transfer to the TA with the group rate and still get the bonus book onboard OBC.   You do have to increase to full deposit to be put in the group though (Celebrity Rule).

Good to know!

I didn’t book on board since you can find group rates with an agent that end up being a better deal than booking on board. 

There were never appointments where I live. I showed up at the airport and they processed my application without an advance appointment. 

I could only make wifi calls with the upgraded package.

It shows on the benefits chart as a perk for Elite Plus and Zenith, not positive it includes the cafe?

I think you need to be in specialty dining for this perk.
