we will be in AQ class on Ascent and will def ask for the pillow chocs and the daily canapes if we will be on the ship to enjoy them..we usually ask for shrimp, cheese and with fruit for some variety we always bring our own non- stale crackers.. Will staff get demerits if we ask for what we paid for?? so far our gowing carry- on packing list includes: plastic take away containers, straws, utensils, baggies for foraging, brita mini pitcher to filter water, crackers cookies.. It's all part of the new Self Serve Modern Luxury...

Andy..so glad he is enjoying EQ with his sister. Hope all well with him. 100% reliable source

not sure if there will be a World Class Bar..we really enjoyed it on BEYOND! no menus here but nice photos and info: https://www.travelandleisure.com/celebrity-ascent-cruises-sneak-peek-7511144

not sure if there will be a World Class Bar..we really enjoyed it on BEYOND!

takes many yrs to biild a good reputation and customer base but much less time to self destruct.. yet the money seems to be still rolling in..which is the way the business judges itself

prices are online..check your cruise planner for your sailing.. you can pre book with a discount...best prices are .usually for times shop is in port. we never recd an AQ class discount / spa credit ????

not only avoid due to deck noise but also loud repetitive whoosing water sounds.. we got stuck with that once. we avoid pool areas above

how rude..Glad it was resolved but I would not want that person anywhere near my stateroom for any reason and would request that ftom the get go

we always ask for the refrig sodas and alc to be emptied from our reg or AQ class staterooms so we can fill the fridge with our own water and cans of soda free of charge! more work for the attendant but cuts down on potential overcharges! We never use the pay for water btls, chips etc left on the dresser

has anyone tried the extra charge cookies?

anyone taste them yet?

hoping they will refurb Connie and that she will still sail from Tampa..we would consider that..timing works

will you go back to Carnival?

when we were there..yrs ago, there were hanging seats..kids were up there all the time..using it as a play area. hopefully no more so one can relax and have a cup of coffee!

AQ can be pricey..but nothing like Retreat.. we jump between SV with the 4 mdrs( prefer Tuscan and Cyprus), and AQ class (we do not mind the Inf Balc) money "saved" goes to excursions, spa, specialty dining etc

Hope not..other than I believe BLU should be exclusive to AQ class cruisers. . Suite guests were allowed to dine in BLU, subject to availability before Luminae was created..I always felt that once that happened, BLU should have reverted back to AQ only Venue is small and gets overcrowded/ overwhelmed at certain times. Solution would be to improve Luminae menu and/or offer rotating "BEST of BLU" in Luminae!

Sky Suite grats for Team Butlers vs indiv Butler service should be reduced..lesser level of service. Are suite grats mandatory or suggested? We gave extra grats for our Sky Suite on Beyond even though our Butler was in overdrive..tried too hard to please! But for a Team we would not tip extra..the Team is not an indiv Butler unless Team divides up cabins?

hope the biscotti are still available at Baccio..× We enjoy them with afternoon coffee and tea..

We have been cruising on X since Century and Mercury..Been on most of the ships since then. Mostly in AQ class..since it started We enjoy the Thermal suites and I love the spa We have been in an SV and Inf V.. We like the E class ships ..but are not " suite people" our first and only suite was recently on Beyond in a Sky Suite..used up fccs from multiple cancellations. We found our Butler to be a pest, did not care for Luminae, found Retreat a wasted space and the outdoor area very crowded with a small pool. Best on port days. Glad we tried a suite but Happily going back to AQ We will miss the larger cabin, early boarding and disembark which AQ guests used to enjoy I think those who booked with a Butler in their fare should have that service restored. We expect the entire Celeb experience will continue to be degraded! We will enjoy Ascent, then APEX..but have no plans with X after that! Glad we had so many great cruises on X..but those days are truly over.

oops sorry.. This is an upcharge venue! On EDGE we enjoyed Tuscan and Cyprus.. the 2 smaller mdrs for dinner.. Try Eden Cafe for lunch...good choices great breads

Raw on 5.. great meal, good variety of selections not just sushi...excellent service. Book ahead, fills up quickly

pls keep this thread on track

It was my daily treat while dh relaxed in the solarium .. hope it works for you

old news!

let the upcharge cookies sit til they go stale..sends a message. we are planning to bring plastic baggies and take out containers so we can stock up at the buffet..hope there's still nice cookies there..
