  1. great EDEN review.. thanks for posting the pics and info. We are looking forward to trying it on Ascent..now that the menu is more our taste. Love the shirts...very tropical!
  2. I always pre book for best the best time and discount.. but nothing offered yet for Ascent 2024. Have to keep checking
  3. we have enjoyed the spa treatments on E class ships.. diff entity than Canyon Ranch. CR was disappointing on other ships and we did not like the products as much as Elemis..but they had nice workout clothes for sale
  4. does not appeal to us..cartoons not our thing..maybe fun for kids We would prefer a great lunch at the Bistro Cafe...great food, wine, service and view on E class..Dine at your own pace.. guess its whatever you prefer
  5. great review of APEX. family cruise. my posted comments were dusplayed in red and are under review duh..no idea why.. i will retype later!
  6. one of the best Reviews ever.. Refreshing style and the enjoyment you experienced really came through! Hope moderators recognize this review as a top 10!..Not just for families You went to some of our fav Islands and we will be taking that Nevis excursion on ASCENT.. agree 100% about the stores...very few basic needs are available ( in the liquor store?) and almost nothing good for kids. We got our grandsons the ship.model but not much else is offered in E Class. hope you'll book another!
  7. interesting.. we have not been on the ECLIPSE. has she been updated? we will look into that for Bermuds
  8. Celebrity excels at soups...hot and cold. We used to have our lunch at Bistro on 5 almost daily . Dh enjoyed chatting with the chef from Jamaica. He shared a recipe for cream of celery root soup (pared down quantity). It was easy... Dh served it for Thanksgiving that year. .Our guests took seconds and thirds & were slurping up soup from their bowls. It was a big hit! we miss the "Celebrity dressing." sometimes you can get it on request!
  9. we are hopeful the flower option will come back.. . The springtime arrangement shown is a perfect size for the niche in IV cabins ( Ascent)... esp with the drab Hoppen decor! Do Cap Club members still get a tiny vase with flowers?? we will call... we also have had no luck still with spa apprs or kerastase
  10. wow.. now I know what to order in EDEN! dh will love the Crab Cakes
  11. photos are all great..we love the beauitiful houses and the less commercial areas...looks like you had a top 10 day!
  12. max iguanas on ARUBA.. how do you like it served?
  13. very nice pics... thanks for sharing! food looks good... overall however, from the pics, we think the beach and facilities at Megans Bay are much nicer.. Great restaurant, eating areas etc.. Maybe next time u can try it and compare! due to the distance Coki was probably a better choice
  14. yup the big blob is headed to e coast Fl.. seems the rains and flooding have abated..only to have another "plague" ahead. enjoy Coki..never been there.
  15. Oasis is great for kids and active adults, but not an "elegant" experience. Our adult dtr found it a bit disappointing and shopping mall like! But our son in law liked the zip line and flo rider.. We are seniors and did not enjoy it very much.... too big, crowded in most places, tickets to reserve and lines to wait on. The Diamond cocktail hr was an exceprion..very well done! Daytime, we hid out aft in the adult only area. Dining on Celeb is much better; even the mdr is better than specialty on Royal in our opinion. even with skme cutbacks Lots of family friendly activities on X..teen/ kids club, stem, parties etc Something for everyone. What about something including new Eng, Bermuda and Charleston along US East Coast? trip should focus on the desires and wishes of the parties being treated! maybe one nice dinner together at a Specialty restaurant.. if SIL wants extras she can book and pay for them sep. just my thoughts!
  16. hope u have a great day! we were on one of the first Royal/ Celeb ships to dock at Crown Bay.. It was a long nervous taxi ride to town and back, and not very good shopping or food compared to Havensight! seems you found a way out!
  17. that's a far trip.. but great beach & snorkel trai we heard there is a ferry right at or near Crown Bay to a nearby beach/ island/ bar .....if you decide on that or somethiing closer..would love to hear abt it..
  18. is this Crown Bay? what are your plans for St Thomas?
  19. looks tight..how old are the kids? our grands are 7 and 3 so.it could work..but with older kids..seems a bit tight and close..eso if one in upper area needs to go to the bthrm
