  1. Had you pre booked, or just turned up?[/quote

     

     

     

    We have just turned up!

     

     

    Continue to enjoy your dinners in the MDR.

     

    Could you possibly provide a list of the senior officers and personnel. Do you know if the Captain will be on board in April? Thanks.

  2. Just wanted to let everyone know that my husband & I are enjoying anytime dining this week on the Silhouette. There has been no wait yet for a table for 2. Tuesday night at 7:15 we even got seated next to the railing~ overlooking diners below. We have gone at various times and have not had to wait yet. Sharing this because of many recent posts regarding long wait!

    Thanks so much for the update on dining.

     

    Is it possible for you to list senior officers; do you know what captain, staff captain, etc will change. Is this happening prior to the TA crossing or after.

     

    Thanks for any info you can provide.

  3. Our group of four had awonderful cruise! Very happy with just about everything.

    We were in Aquaclass and BLU was wonderful. The only slip up was one night when a table full of VIP’s decided to dine at the same time as we did and service declined for everyone but them.

    I certainly understand thestaff wanting to please and perhaps impress but not at the expense of the whole dining room being greatly neglected. When we finally did get some service our waiter

    Explained the situation and apologized. We told him he had nothing to apologize for, just doing his job. A little consideration from the higher –up’s toward their customers would be appreciated!

     

    How does one know if someone seated in the restaurant was a "VIP". You also mentioned high rollers in the casino. How does one determine this?

    Just curious.

  4. Vanessa (shoreside concierge for Millie) just emailed to let us know that Jovon (last name?) is taking over for Rhiannon in Michael's Club starting March 18th.

     

    There is other info that shows the Captain and various personnel however that is outdated, it was from January.

     

    If anyone is presently on the Millennium or boards in the next few weeks could you please provide updates on Senior Officers and Staff.

     

    Thank you.

  5. Anyone else having this problem on the Celebrity Website -------- when you choose the Flights by Celebrity all it does is flash on & off over & over again ...... never get into the site...... very irritating to say the least ......

     

    Yes....most annoying. Has been doing this for almost two weeks now. X is "working on it".

     

    Here is a workaround that I used. Hope it works for you too! Good luck.

  6. Maja is now the Suite Manager. She told me she is leaving Summit in January - but I do not know exactly when in January. I'm sailing on January 20th, so I really hope that both she and Anastasia are still on the ship. I'm also hoping that Charles is still the Luminae Maitre'd.

     

     

    Charles left at the beginning of December...back home for a well deserved vacation with his wife and daughters.

  7. Look for my live from for last week. I posted the photo sheet.

    Thanks Barb. I could have sworn I submitted a thread to thank you when you posted the information. If I did not I apologize...guess I was caught up in the "holiday madness".

     

    I was hoping that someone who may have checked in for the latest cruise could post a new sheet or give names. Not sure if there was a changeover or not.

     

    Guess time will tell.

     

    Again, thanks!

  8. Both staterooms have bed by the balcony. 7222 is up forward near the forward elevators. If you are standing at the rail and you look down at the water, you will see lifeboats. 6287 is back aft. Looking down you will see water. Back aft you are near the aft elevators -- up to the Sunset Bar and lawn club, and down to the dining, martini bar, and cellar masters. I would go for the one back aft. You can walk the stairs one deck down to Café al Bacio.

     

    Also thanks to "Essie's Mom". I was able to see the cabins on the spreadsheet.

     

    Wine-O....thanks for your suggestion. Will probably go for it.

  9. It seems to have become a little more complicated, but if you click on the spreadsheet, after the directions page has loaded, go to the bottom and click on 'cabins' and the list should appear. Incidentally, those two cabins are located in the same place on all of the S class ships, so a review on any ship will apply. EM

     

     

    Thanks.

  10. Have you checked the S class sticky at the top of the page? EM

     

     

    Thanks. I should have mentioned that I did go to this tool however when I open the link for the spreadsheet all I find is a blank page. Obviously I am doing something wrong. There are over 130 pages...hard to scroll through each entry to look for these specific staterooms.

     

    Any suggestions? Thanks.

  11. We are cruising on Celebrity Silhouette in February and are wondering who is the current provider of the frozen Kosher meals? Is it Sterling or Weberman? Is it possible to get a menu in advance of sailing? Is the food edible? Which are the best selections?

     

    Breakfast - some former cruisers have told us that the breakfast chef opened a new pan and spatula to make fresh eggs for kosher travelers. Can anyone confirm that this happens regularly?

     

    Fridge- We have a 1B balcony cabin. Will we have a fridge and can we bring packaged kosher items like cheese? Chumus? Halva? etc.???

     

    Wine- Does anyone know what kosher wines are available on Celebrity?

     

    Ice Cream- we've heard that the soft ice cream is kosher (OU-D) and so are the cones. Can anyone confirm?

     

    Any other updated info you can share?

     

    We've cruised many times before we began keeping kosher. This is our first cruise as kosher diners and we are nervous!

     

    Thanks!

     

    Obviously this is something that is of importance to you. Cruise Critic is a wonderful forum and many people give very good feedback on here. However, I am not sure that anyone can guarantee the "correct" answers for the questions you have posed.

     

    I believe that the dietary laws you are asking about should have answers from Celebrity. I would certainly contact them and inquire. When you booked this cruise did you ask your travel agent about these dietary laws, etc?

     

    I am truly trying to assist you that is why I suggest you contact Celebrity directly. Suggest you check out this link from Celebrity; note the Kosher meals section and then contact them re any other questions you may have.

     

    Good luck. Please be sure to come back to this forum and let us know how this is handled as it may help others in the future.

     

    Enjoy your cruise.

  12. If the captain does not matter to you, why fret about it? Some captains are more personable and funnier than others. Just like some people are more personable and funnier than others. They all have excellent safety records or they would not be working for Celebrity. For me, it just enhances the cruise experience if the captain is out and about and engaging with the passengers.

     

     

    Linda: could not have said it any better. Thanks for letting the CC Community members have a better understanding why some people do ask for this information.

  13. I won't comment much on the entertainment. We brought our own.

     

    The photo opportunities this evening were all over. The music was decent. I was dancing in the martini bar with the family.

    Glad you are enjoying. Do you think you could post the current Celebrity Spotlight showing the current Senior Officers and CD. Thank you.
