We've been trying to decide between Haven and Yacht Club by watching Youtube videos. As Royal regulars we've reached the point where we don't think Royal's suite experience is worth the price. We still sail suites on Celebrity.
Thanks. This was a good review. We're on her in May. Not a pool or sun worshiper anymore so our balcony will suffice. I'm looking forward to the expanded venues.
I think @Boatdrill was suggesting maybe a little too much details coming from the Captain to the guests and not that he was anyway responsible. Having been a public information officer for my old job I see the point.
If I remember correctly we were on the same Serenade cruise as you and MTD didn't open until 6:45. We only ate there one night...the last night. Did two specialties and the Jammer the rest of the week.
We had the same experience on Harmony a few years ago. When my wife pointed out we just did it on our last cruise the maitre d' at Giovanni's literally said, "We don't do that on this ship."
My wife is going through the same frustration. It's possible she reached out to the same Youtube guy and got the same results. We've been doing on-board bookings and turning them over to an on-line agency just for the OBC. The communication hasn't been great so that's why she's been looking.
Been sailing with Royal for over 25 years and never had a noisy cabin except for a forward outside porthole on Majesty. We were woken with every anchor drop. It probably won't be a problem but no guarantees.
The report I heard is it will be down for quite a while. We thought it was pretty cool up there but our time was delayed half the day because of a thunderstorm threat.
No one would notice the difference if it was just WIFI. I always forget to buy it on the smaller ships until the last minute so it's mainly just a pain in the butt and I miss out on the sales.
I don't agree that Celebrity is targeting younger families with kids otherwise we'd see slides and flowriders. I'm in the camp where if you want less kids, sail during the school year or in the case of school vacations, sail more than 7 days.
We had an LOL moment when I was struggling to open a can. The tiny girl bartender said, "Give me that," took the can and twisted it open. In her broken English adding, "Turn bottle not cap!" Life never stops giving lessons. 😁
