-
we bring our own ..6 pack if we can and buy more along the wsy... but will try what AQ Class provides... last time it was not a spring water It had an awful taste...

Sea conditions often affect timing and safety of Tendering to Gr Cayman....sometimes they have to suspend service or switch the tendering side of the ship. We have seen a few bad injuries of those being loaded on..not worth it! We don't bother anymore. Last time awhile ago we were finishing up a great lunch in Bistro on 5..they were still calling Tender Nos.. We have enough expensive tee shirts, snorkel photos.. ..too much traffic when more than a few shipsl.

LIVE Apex Suite Review 2/25-3/4: Love in the Time of Relaxed Luxury
hcat replied to GenerationX's topic in Celebrity Cruises
i agree.. Gen Z is looking like a gown up lady now...girl.power! Bet she can't wait for her special "mom and me" cruise on Tortola..the local party place was always BOMBAS shack..(a bit rough) I do not think it survived a few storms..but they must party someplace..Got the Tee shirt 2 cruises ago! ENJOY! -

Stunning Couple! Will be following along..X is a great (almost ) smoke free choice. ENJOY! -
unless this has changed your levels will match uo to a certain level but u wont actually get Celeb points per se. i agree Royal will likely be a better choice

50th and 10th anniversaries. How can we let Celebrity know?
hcat replied to Oskial's topic in Celebrity Cruises
don't expect too much..maybe for the 50th and in a suite. Usually, just the choc cake! add to your res & remind your maitre d -
Do the other 12 yr olds want to hang out with someone's 9 yr old kid brother? Guess it will depend on the age mix on board..and available slots

Paper towels seem more sanitary and less waste of laundry staff and wash water but maybe not politically correct although paper straws that mush are ok..? They already tried dumping much of the live music and played an endless loop of dreadful canned music,,..no one liked it, Eventually it was mostly gone. We prefer quiet morning hrs at the pool but were assaulted with loud rap music out there on a few cruises and were told tough..that's what Miami ordered, No one liked it and eventually we had some peace out there! We miss the Jimmy Buffet entertauners and authentic reggae bands...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! The cake is the usual,item..and maybe small rose or flowers from Cap Club,,..hit or miss Used to have Anniv parties.. but no more, I usually cruise on my b day..we dress up for the night...and Celebrate..sometimes with a small gathering with folks from the roll call if we have an active group!

“The culinary brand” - LLP. I almost choked when she said that
hcat replied to cruisestitch's topic in Celebrity Cruises
She is Royal C trained, so maybe her ideas of culinary standards differ from the original X standards of excellence which s he may not have experienced..? Her tenure is noted for the decline of "Modern Luxury.".,.main focus on suite class ....no idea about her bottom line performance.. -
Have not been to both... Rousseau also has a bontanical garden.( small) or did when we were there quite awhile ago. The whole island is a natural wonder. We took a very long ship's tour which is the best way see this lush, beautiful place... The town did not offer much..there was a run down restaurant, (No burgers, but served pork), a few shops, and a small outdoor market type area along the pier..spices etc. Things may have changed????

Thanks for another great blog..they end too soon! -
Some Ca ports are ridiculous. We "re-booked" a Specialty Dining res WHILE IN PORT at the restaurant so we could get our E + discount..and were then assessed a local tax. No one explained that would happen. Eventually X gave us a credit back via Guest Rel but we cancelled ALL specialty dining on our Pacific Coastal Cruise! Buyer Beware!

I believe MANKIND the store....was instead of Tiffany's along the corridor to EDEN.. It had a very small selection at inflated prices...much like other stores on board. DH said nothing caught his eye..at any price! That area would have made a nice little wine bar or Specialty Coffees....wonder how well it will do there? -

They may have an ELITE elegant tea but never had high tea on Celebrity. Cunard QM 2 had a wonderful tea...quite posh

yes, quite a few children .it is a .popular family vacation time ,,Airports and pre cruise hotels will also be crowded Expensive week for travel.,

Agree.it is a safety nightmare and huge waste of space having such a huge useless tub.. I enjoyed one soak but getting out was very scary.. not enough grab bars... Also they have the potty room way back .. right opposite the alleged dressing table..seat for that was a poor fit...Bathroom took up lots of slace but was not well designed in our opinion! Sep shower and a smaller tub would have worked much better! We enjoyed having the suit, but will not be sad returning to AQ Class

hcat replied to whattodo's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If you cancel the pre purchased wifi..price may be higher if u try to book it on board. But to just cancel should be ok
