We are in San Juan from 3:30-11pm on celebrity Apex in a couple of weeks. I already have seen mentioned La Factoria, El Battey, Cannon Club and The Mezzanine? Any other suggestions? Particularly looking for happy hours, cool atmospheres and maybe live music! thanks

Sailing on the Apex in a few weeks... we are currently in an inside cabin. I just looked and there appears to be no oceanview cabins available (only Oceanview GTY is showing). Does this mean there are no oceanview cabins left? I was wondering if it would be worth submitting a MoveUp bid for an oceanview to see if it was accepted, would we get upgraded to a balcony (of which there are lots available). Or would my bid just likely be rejected because there are actually no oceanviews available? Thanks

The more I think about it, the more disappointing that compensation is. It would be different on a 7-day cruise where they could just change the ports around, or would have time to go to something worthwhile. But these people have just had their only port which was supposed to be 2 days in Bermuda, switched to basically nothing. NCL planned this cruise for February knowing that the weather could be questionable, if they plan it knowing that there would be no reasonable alternative itinerary, then they shouldn't have offered it. I think these people should get more than 20% FCC....

I have friends who just boarded the Getaway in NYC for a 5-day Bermuda cruise and apparently it's being changed to Bahamas due to high winds. I can't imagine they will get very long in the Bahamas as it's a much longer distance. I wonder if they will offer any compensation due to a complete change in itinerary... I know it's beyond their control... just wondering.

We will be in San Juan from 3:30 - 11pm on the Celebrity Apex in February. Any suggestions on what to do during this time period? We aren't interested in excursions. I'm also assuming we will only have a couple of hours of daylight. Can we squeeze in one of the forts? What's a good place to go for snacks and a couple of drinks? Is there anything that goes on the evening that's worth seeing?

Nah I'm just a peasant who can't afford a suite, so I'm sick of reading about all these expensive cruise lines I will never be able to experience!

Did some more research... Jan 26th sailing of the Eclipse is showing only desserts on the menu, LOL. So looks like something is definitely happening.

Look at the Beyond Menu for the sailing this weekend... it looks like they have updated it. I assume they are concentrating on upcoming sailings and will then update future ones.

Celebrity app looks to be being updated for some ships for next week and now includes prime rib, beef wellington etc. in the MDR. Hopefully this is the first sign of them backtracking on some of these changes.

Still too early to tell... but it looks like the Celebrity app MDR menus are changing for some ships next week... now including beef wellington, prime rib etc. I wonder if there could be upgrades to the buffet at the same time.

I'd totally agree except that at least for the Edge, the menu still has the disclaimer about the $16.99 charge for an extra lobster tail... so that would point towards it not being just an old menu....

Possible breaking news?? I was looking at the Celebrity app menus for different ships and I noticed for the cruises starting this upcoming weekend for the Edge and Beyond both show significantly better menus than what is showing for the current week. Each night contains 4-5 Celebrity Signature options including PRIME RIB, BEEF WELLINGTON etc. over various nights.... So far it only looks like it's showing it for cruises starting this weekend... Apex menu hasn't been changed yet, only Edge and Beyond.

Yea I guess because I have an inside cabin and am coming from NCL, hopefully Celebrity is still a bit of an improvement!

Why do all of these threads about food on Celebrity end up being a place for people to recommend another cruise line? It's almost like employees of those cruise lines sit here waiting to pounce!

Can we keep this topic to discussions about the Oceanview Cafe and people's experiences opinions on it? Seems like this is turning into a thread comparing and discussing other cruise lines which is very off topic.
