The Chef's Table on RC was excellent and much cheaper.

I'm sorry if I confused you. I was just trying to say that if you have a drink package, you don't have to buy the wine pairing.

On our last cruise, when my husband expressed interest in a second lobster tail, the waiter explained that there was a charge for a second tail. He added that I could order a lobster tail in addition to my dinner and there would be no extra charge.

Daniel Boulud doesn't prepare anything on the cruise. He created the menu.

I'm not sure what you're correcting me about but okay.

So is mine

We're doing the Chef's Table next month and when I booked it in April 2023, it cost $306.76. We don't pay for the wine pairing since we have the premium drink package. We used the drink package on our last 2 Chef's Tables and it worked well.

We've been at 3 or 4 chef's tables on Celebrity and enjoyed every one. We have one booked for next month. We've had good table companions and bad but that hasn't affected our enjoyment. We're pretty good at ignoring objectional people and even being amused by them. Our last chef's table, we spent most of the dinner trying to figure out the weird family dynamic of the other guests. Only the parents spoke, not the adult children. One chef's table, the other guest were a bunch of young tech workers trying out something they hadn't done before. They were very friendly and we swapped tech stories. All were great guys.

The Chef's Table has been the same on the last 4 cruises we've taken. If it's the same on our cruise next month, we won't book it again.

Were you offered any compensation or the option to cancel and get a refund? We're booked on the same cruise in 2026. It's a long way off so probably not affected but I'm curious.

I'm more interested in if they upgraded the TV and other electronics. We were quarantined on our last cruise on Infinity and the TV was the older one, without video on demand and horrible reception.

Have you tried using a different browser? Or at least not booking on a weekend? The site never seems to work on weekends.

The same is true for my Celebrity Infinity Israel & Egypt cruise but it's not until 2026. I check the excursions everyday for a price drop. I already got a price drop on the drink package upgrade.

Our steward locked us on the balcony on our Oceania cruise. It was on embarkation day and I'm not sure he knew we were there. We called to someone else who was on their balcony and they sent someone to help.

Because the gratuities might go up in price between now and the cruise.

We do it all the time and have never had a problem. We do NOT remove anything of value. We pick a lounger with towels, newsletters or advertisements from the shops.

Not helpful I know, but our Feb. 2026 cruise is on my app

Check the website every day. If you're logged in, sometime it will give you the upgrade price. If it doesn't, figure out the difference between the Classic and the Premium. A "good" price is $6-$9 per day. On one of my upcoming cruises, I got a Black Friday deal of $6 and on the other, I grabbed it as soon as it came down to $9 (the cruise is in 2026 and I'm sure the prices will go up by then.)

Really? After I posted the link, I realized that I hadn't installed it on my new tablet. I navigated to the website I posted and clicked on download. It installed a Aptoide app first, then the Celebrity app. After the Celebrity app was installed, I deleted the Aptoide

Is it worse to put bare feet up on a chair rather than shoed feet? I don't see the difference.

Oceania reminds us of Celebrity back when we first started cruising. Good food, relaxed atmosphere and no class distinction. We love it.

Isn't that what I said?

It wouldn't be all the Elite Plus members. It would be for those in the Penultimate level (probably 1500 points). We're Elite Plus but we've need 700 more points to attain Penultimate. It might inspire us to try but we're never going to make Zenith.

I think doubling the perks for longer cruises is a good idea. We don't use all the free bags of laundry but I wouldn't object it the double the number.
