    On Silhouette at the end of January we were very disappointed with Blu. Although there were plenty of empty tables at around 8 pm we were always given a pager and told to wait, sometimes 20 or 30 minutes. It seemed more of a problem having the wait staff than finding a table. Indeed once we were seated it was always a 15 to 20 minute wait before anyone took our order or even offered a drink. We have used Aqua class many times and never had this problem. Unfortunately we weren’t alone as we spoke to several other couples, all with the same opinion. With regards to the menu, we also found it to be much reduced and some poor dishes, ( anyone like octopus? ).

    For the first time in 12 years cruising Celebrity ( Elite Plus ) we didn’t book another cruise onboard. Quite sad, but things need to improve. 

    I love octopus and order it whenever I can in Blu!

  2. Was on the Harmony this past December. There wasn’t any sign up in advance. Ppl showed up and waited on a line until their turn. Some were couples, some paired up. Losers left the court and another pair went in. Sometimes winners wanted a break and they left the court. System worked perfectly.

  3. Cafe promenade has espresso based drinks and you can use diamond drink.

    or you can go to diamond lounge and get a latte and add some of the hot chocolate packet. There may have been mocha option listed on the coffee machine but not sure. There isn’t an option to get espresso drinks in Central Park cafe. I was on the Symphony this past December.

    To Search for a Cabin:

     

    The search tool is pretty basic - it is the same as what is used for the S and M Class stickies. The How To Search tab has instructions and there is also a "How To Search" informational sheet with screen shots that I have linked below (there is also a link on the Search tab).

  5. I did a tour to Egypt including the Nile River cruise but not with Viking. I can comment though on the areas where the ships dock. The areas felt safe to me when I was at the ports during the day.  However, Egyptians do not run along a street. You will really stand out as an oddity. Also, some areas were crowded and not sure how you could navigate around everyone enjoying their day along the River as well as vendors. 

     

    You out didn't mention if you are male or female. Running attire for ladies definitely NOT appropriate in Egypt, even touristy places like Luxor and Aswan. 

    All the men I remember seeing wear slacks and shirts, no atheletic wear. 

    Hope this helps!
