Here are the standard toiletries on the Silhouette. The second photo is the body lotion and bar soap. None of the toiletries shown are made or branded by Bigalow. The are un-named and made specifically for Celebrity cruises. These are the current toiletries for the entire fleet (I can't speak for Expedition ships) for cabins below Concierge Class.

100% agree with this. You're not on a balcony, you're sitting at the end of your room next to an open or closed window.

Then it was either Concierge or Aquaclass. The photo below,of the flagship Ascent, is what the standard toiletries look like. They are in containers that are oval in shape, not round containers which are Bigalow toiletries. That is how they differentiate the cabin classes. Upgraded toiletries is part of the higher level cabins. You are absolutely incorrect when you state that Celebrity cabin toiletries are all made by Bigalow.

Not entirely correct. The pictured Bigalow aren't the toiletries for standard cabins. Standard cabins have non-branded, made for Celebrity toiletries. The toiletries shown are for Concierge, Aqua,Retreat.

Not true. Celebrity's parent company Royal Caribbean has IV cabins on the Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruiseship. Although not the only type of cabin available it isn't a small amount either, with 3 decks of IV cabins midship on both starboard and port sides. And then you have MSC, which has IV cabins, albeit classed as a premium Oceanview, on the World Europa and upcoming World America, both their largest and will be a final fleet of four ships.

I find it rather amusing that after four ships in over five years we STILL are having this debate.

I don't know where you're getting your information but there's no such place as Grand Plaza Cafe on any Celebrity Ship. The venue you're thinking of is Cafe Al Bacio and TBH there's not enough food there for an adequate lunch. Then you neglected to list the Spa Cafe for breakfast and lunch. Mast Grill isn't open for dinner as it closes at 6:00pm. Eden Cafe has been adjusting it's hours on various E--Class ships so you'll need to go on board to see what the hours are for your cruise since it may or may not be open during Port days. As others have said you have severely limiting yourself by not going to the buffet. Celebrity's E-Class buffets are the best among the mainstream lines. Edit: The only time there was anything called the Grand Plaza Cafe was on the Edge's maiden voyage in December, 2018. It was located to the left of the Martini Bar. By the second maiden voyage, which we were on, it already had closed as a complete and utter failure of a food venue. So a cafe by that name literally existed for one week (not including review cruises) only on the Edge in December, 2018.

The free sauna is inside the men's and women's locker rooms, which are free for all to use. The sauna is small but it does it's job and since it's in the locker rooms a bathing suit isn't necessary, just a towel to cover up is fine.

WAAAY more than that.

No combining of points and/or accounts

No, your traveling companion doesn't get and benefits that comes with whatever Blue Chip Club tier level that you are at.

Cruising on Royal will not cause your husband to lose his Celebrity Blue Chip Club complementary offers. If he gambles enough on the Royal cruise he'll get offers from Royal's Casino Royale program. If he makes the minimum points in the cruise he'll receive a free cruise certificate before the end of the cruise.

On embarkation one of the main dining room reservation desk will be open to make dinner reservations and/or adjustments. It may vary with each sailing and each ship;I checked the daily planner for embarkation day for several different E-Class sailings and it isn't mentioned in the planner. You just have to go to see which one of the four dining room reservation desk is manned for dinner reservation adjustments.

I'm not sure what you're referring to but NONE of the E-class ships have a central Dining Reservations desks for the MDRs. Each of the four dining rooms has their own reception desk and when open each is staffed. ALL Edge Class ships have the same arrangement.

Current email offers.

The OP is staying in an Oceanview. A standard Oceanview cabin on all Celebrity ships have UNBRANDED Toiletries which aren't made by Bigelow.

Hand soap for the lavatories in the cabin are bar soap. Bodywash for shower. You can ask for as many bars of soap as you need.

As to what are you referring to?

Well I guess that explains why last month on the Ascent the lunch was so crowded. Luckily we were on line early enough and was within the first 40 people to enter the dining room. When we finished and walked out of the dining room the line was crazy long. Honestly I wouldn't wait on that line. Edit: NCL opens a MDR for all guests on embarkation day for lunch. Celebrity should do the same.

All the cruises we've been on since turning diamond have had both the party and the luncheon.

It's been well established that there only 3 instances where there an embarkation lunch, Concierge Class cabins, B2B, and Zenith.
