Each restaurant has sample menus and photos on the Celeb website. Once you board you can take a peek at the venues and the daily menu. You can skip any nite if you booked a Specialty Restaurant (upcharge) or just want to go casual at the buffet . One mdr will offer sit down bkfst and lunch.(not sure abt port days for lunch?)

the pole is odd

Can you pick the dining rm we prefer? we prefer Cyprus and Tuscan..early dinner, 2 of us at a window. In the 2 larger dining rms, the long tables of 2 across from each other are quite uncomfy and like a boarding house! We got stuck first night of our first EDGE cruise but never again after that!

We usually prefer early time at Cyprus or Tuscan.. and do not care to share. We have always had luck with a water view table for 2 & sunsets on E CLASS. And the same servers. We'll hope for the best when we sail on APEX next Jan.

We love this port..esp on a non crowded day! The blues of sea and sky are perfect.! We loved going through the alleys with shops..meeting lovely people..great food and wine! Here's my fav pic of your cruise!

Hi Lois.. Nice to see you will be back on X Hope you will post your impressions. We are thinking about late 2025. I think it's the only S Class ship we never tried! Best regards Hcat

Best of luck! Cats won't let u down.. they will help you recover!

yes, correct, but for those like me with vision issues, the spiral stairs (up or down) are as perilous as the creepy forest on EDGE and its progeny.. But at least no one can race thru on their scooter!

Astoria was among our least fav ports. We were there when it first opened..with the long tender ride and the long delayed train ride..ha ha.It was one mis-step after another .Felt bad for the local promoters We did have a decent lunch at the one decent looking spot, but nothing else was open or..worthwhile. There might have been a second hand flea market..(junk). Hope it has been improved!

all great posts... Scorfman.. you are getting so much out of your tours.. Love the pics! esp Castles and flowers.. Truthfully not tempted by some of shoreside food !

Hope your dog improves..hard choices but pets are family!

We are booked in an SV middle on APEX..deck 10.. Although we have enjoyed an SV on EDGE with the the 4 mdrs it was not our first choice. AQ Class with BLU and the thermal suite was priced too high, so we had to go lower..We like the IV..nice and quiet & adds space to the cabin..no wjbd or rain out there. The SV EDGE cabin was located at the end of a nice hallway and was large (long and narrow) with a huge balc. The balc did not get much use.. there was little shade, and very noisy next door neighbors.. ran a 24/7 frat boy type party outside on their balc! We did enjoy a nice sky and sunset view. Not much soot and really no vibrations. We did hear music from EDEN , so happy we will be up on 10 next time .

Def looking forward to a report on the Embassy Suites refurb/updates. Our last stay was disappointing. It was very dingy, dusty, and dated. We switched to Wyndham in Dania after that...it was actually much worse and very pricey . Next two cruises we'll stay at Holiday Inn near the Convention Center..but hope to eventually return to ES. love ABC ports! enjoy!

loved all your pics of Rhodes. Glad the Queen is shopping well. Good for her! We think Rhodes is one of the nicest ports. Beautiful location and buildings, and it offers history, great food/ coffee, shopping .Hope to return again some day!

We have no interest in other cruise lines , esp MSC. We prefer info and pics of the X ships , food and ports! But nice of you to do a live review..They are tricky!

We enjoyed the E Class ships.. all diff accomodations and dining...Still have one more booked..APEX. They offer many choices and are state of the art.. But we are actually looking forward to Silhouette again, and will also likely book Eclipse.. Change of pace is good!

good idea..I keep a small flashlight next to the bed. ..and use it in the bathrm as well..night lites can be too bright

When we were at the Antigua port area, there were some nice shops walkable nearby, and craft vendors at the pier area. Has it changed?

"Booze Package'...ouch! Celeb offers various choices for beverage packages...but not by the day, unless you choose to not select a bev package...Then you pay per drink. The packages include more than alcohol. You can weigh the options and select what best fits your needs!

Here's to HOME SWEET HOME! You did it! Just being home will make things easier! Hope you get some rest and do well with your recovery!

We do the same....esp when we hardly ever receive upcharges for drinks above Classic..like Baileys!

For all those who are Celebrating or Remembering Moms, Grandmoms and other special women in our lives! "Without You, there'd be no us"

use google.. many entries..you can listen to the performances....its over!

Strawberries look wonderful!

Eurovision has been reported with some controversies, so maybe not pushing it on the ship. It is on ship's TV . In US it's on Peacock a paid streaming service.
