Bologna ist much closer than Venice btw. However, it seems that we will also need a private transfer.

Exactly, beeing just woke is not a sustainable business model. Guests with all lifestyles and life model appreciated the upscale experience. This is now, what I can see, a step below Costa Cruises.

Simply unbelievable, reading every menu or to see this buffet pictures, that this is really that cruise line we raved about in the past.

Perfect. Thanks for every single advice. They are diamond with RCCL, however, collecting points/seapass cards plus status match later is a good idea, too.

Indeed, thanks a lot. Dinner buffet was never a strong point on Celebrity. Food might have been fine, atmosphere was always a bit lacking. But this list ist another step down. No loyalty perk is worth enough for us to justify this lousy dinner experience.

Costa starts to be the new "premium" alternative to Celebrity. Sad to hear what happened to this once outstanding cruise line.

Thanks. 5$ with tip for a can - wow.

Anybody knows how much a single coke is now?

Thank you very much

Hello everybody, Is it possible to apply for the captain's Club membership for our kids? I was told that it's only 18+? Is this accurate? We have reached the Elite tier, however we haven't been on X for a few years now. Thanks for sharing your expertise;)

Very helpful review. Buffet looks like the cheap version of golden corral. We almost booked a med cruise for this summer but this embarrassing pictures of celebrity and it's new interpretation of premium is a huge red flag. Again, thanks for the effort and still, an enjoyable vacation time for you.

With all these cutbacks, this company starts to look more dead than alive to me. I would expect that at Costa or MSC, but NCL...

Sorry to clarify: four drinks with one order is ok?

Relax. Just shared my impression of venues which are only available for a charge compared to Carnival. The amount might be same, my impression is that the included part seems more appealling on Carnival. Sandwiches and pizza in other outlets is not a big value for me. Also I pointed out Windjammer and mini bites, because this is pretty weak for a pool deck and such a sized ship.We still decid for RCCL and I assume we won't regret, since we enjoyed every single cruise with them.

Eat more chicken 😁

👍👍

I am also starting to realize how weak RCCL F&B range is regarding included outlets and compared to Carnival for instance. On a ship like Harmony being able only to go to windjammer (limited hours) or mini bites on lido deck is something that never made me think about this issue before.

I indeed noticed again that Carnival offers much more included venues than RCCL and also, paid dining is priced much more reasonable. We decided for RCCL again since we are very loyal and cruised only once with carnival 15 years ago. We'll see how our experience will be after 6 years being away and can still simply reconsider with every cruise... Not that JR is the deal breaker, but it adds up...

Yes, I knew about the upcharge. However, 12$ per person with a family of four is something that might hesitate us. I read bad reviews about the mini bites on Harmony and thought about going to JR here and then... Thanks anyway.

Hi everyone, Does Jonny Rockets now really charge 12 $ for food only plus drinks & tip? Thanks for your updates?

Upsi, even better. Sorry for mixing that up and thanks for your response.

Hello everybody, First time on Harmony and I learned that Wonderland is where we found Dazzles on Oasis years ago Therefore I wanted to ask where we can find and listen to some great live music from the cover bands similar to Dazzles on Oasis in the past? Thanks in advance.

Well I would say if you are in the pool for hours, permanently, you can put your stuff on a bench next to the pool. Chairs are for people not for stuff. Common sense, a "less than hours" dip in the pool, bathroom visits or even a on the go snack from pool deck outlets is no chair hogging...

Thanks for all your input. I am curious now, if JR will be part of a promo on my upcoming cruise. Another oldie question since it's my first RCCL cruise since 2016: bathrobes still delivered to your stateroom as a diamond member?

Do you say, when ordering your beverages, that you wish to use a diamond coupon?
