Before the pandemic, we were traveling often. After retiring, we took several cruises each year. While we like Celebrity, we were getting bored. Same entertainment, same menus, etc. is dull. We are elite plus with no way of ever getting to zenith. We needed a change. We tried other lines. Loved the new experiences. Our favorites are Oceania and Windstar.

Been there, did that in January. It was a tough decision, but the right one. We knew people who sailed on that cruise. It was the cruise from hell. People got sick. No entertainment and canceled ports made that cruise a real disappointment.

Look at the thread about Sky suite refurbish. You might decide to stay in concierge.

Looks like they missed on the renovations. Aside from the larger space, there isn’t much to it. Those chairs on the veranda look uncomfortable. The bathroom looks like a disaster waiting to happen. No light or grab bars for the shower ? What were they thinking?

Tuscan grill can be good if you stick to grilled items. Tuscan is best at meat. Filet is it. Pasta is iffy. There are usually many available tables if you want to wait until you are onboard. The regular surcharge is high. Often, they offer discounts during the cruise. I seldom book before the cruise. If I have excess non refundable OBC, I might go to Tuscan. For a good entertainment, try the Petite Chef. Sushi on 5 is good. No reservation needed. It can be a good alternative for lunch.
