I’m in minion category

Let’s just hope in a complete of months , Celebrity will be able to have enough staff and there will not be “any supply issues “ and it can go to the way it was in 2012 , minus the jacket in MDR , ( retired and learn to make bread and cookies , if I put a dinner jacket on the button may pop off and take an eye out 🤣)

If you like plastic plates and plastic cups in OV than RCL is more up upscale The only thing better is the 4 anytime drinks perk for Diamonds 😁🧐🍻

Sounds like a great trip it would be nice if Celebrity would do something interesting

Does anyone know if they are still in business? It looks like we may need testing for our April TA on Celebrity

They already have a grill station in OV , it would be silly to open the Mast grill , it would be so far from anything else On the April Apex TA , 1/2 the ov station were was closed , ship was 65% filled , most of the hot food was cold it was pretty bad , stir fry was good , the meatloaf was so cold they should just made sandwiches with it , and serve a side order of cold beans with it 🤣 If they make crapy food who will eat it

Here the sweet 16 , they are deluxe balconies now the orange cabins

Have you been outside of the USA ?

Why ? probably mostly Americans, than UK , Canadians

Probably with the fact AC didn’t buy them out and their cutbacks in flights

It really depends on your budget and where you want visit if you do longer cruises you wouldn’t find many children on the ship our preferred line is Celebrity but with cuts in service and price increase we will start looking around in 2024 we also prefer Celebrity old ships than their new ones

All the better for us minions😁

Since we usually book TAs , never had a problem with to many children except at the Martini Bar and OV cafe 😁 Do you get to pick your cabin or just get what Virgin gives you ?

Does Celebrity price include tips and zero proof drink package ?

Been on the Apex, don’t like as much as S or M class ship, book the Spring Reflection TA and Conny Fall TA after being on the Apex but everyone is different , you might think E class is great

Virgin includes everything but alcohol drinks , cruising friends are travelled on them and have rebook with them they must be doing something right 🤔

AT has cancelled our direct flight from Barcelona to Toronto and they stop flights to Rome in October, they are really cutting back on flights

Equinox Nov2012 TA, our first TA from Toulon to Barcelona went though a Hurricane, 15 m waves , it was rock and rolling Than one the way to Madera we were hit by a rogue wind, the ship listed for 15 minutes at a good angle

You are not going get that on a cruise or restaurant, it usually looks like the Kraft stuff 🤮

Or was it Mac & cheese I am amazed how many people get excited about mac&cheese only place you can get a good Mac & cheese if you make it yourself https://www.jamesbeard.org/recipes/macaroni-and-cheese

Why is Air Canada and West Jet sell price higher than their pre sale price 🤔 looking at booking YYZ-FCO , Tampa back to YYZ in November wife is a vet so at least we can get free bags 😁

That is a silly comment on one cruise my partner had Covid , I tested negative, I was was only allowed eat or drink in the room, so I would pick up food from Oceanview to take back to room to eat because didn’t want to wait around for 2 hours to get cold food from room service At that time in April ship was 60% filled , OV had a limited choice and about only thing hot was the grill and stirfry

Thanks for the info ! 😁 They have Kraken and 43 for my cappuccino in the morning on the classic. I’m good to go.👍

I would phone / email the Portugal or Spanish consulate for the answer
