Did Azamara earlier this year. Was cheaper than Celebrity and blew it away in every category except entertainment.

We did Azamara earlier this year. Got a 9 night cruise in Italy in a suite, cheaper than the balcony we are doing in the Med in a couple of weeks. The food is on par with Luminae, and the specialty restaurants are far better. Loved the itinerary. The only drawback is the limited entertainment and no casino. But the crew is really top notch, going out of their way to make of for these shortcomings.

I just cancelled my flight today, and they said I'm getting 100% back to by credit card. Flight was for Apr 30.

We are on that cruise. I've seen it switch back and forth between Talkeetna and the correct name several times

We had an S3 on our last cruise. The MC goes by a couple times a day. No people are every in it when it moves. Your view is blocked for maybe 5 minutes. There is a rumbling nose as it moves, but not very loud. We would book it again.

We have typically been in Aqua over the last few years. We did our first suite in December on Edge. My wife is a very picky eater and found the Luminae menu not to her satisfaction a couple nights. We went to Blu a couple times as she always liked it on previous cruises. The dining room was never more than half full. About half way through the cruise we went to Luminae because of a dish I really wanted. She mentioned to the waiter that she didn't really see anything she liked on the menu. His response completely changed her outlook on Luminae. He told her they could make lots of other dishes that aren't listed on the menu (and they are not coming from other kitchens). He brought her a twin filet mignon that was much better than what we had in Fine Cut. After that night, we won't be back in Blu when in suites.
I think Celebrity needs to do a better job of communicating what can be done, and following their rules. Based on that one waiter talking to her, now she only wants to book suites and not Aqua anymore. 3 months till our next suite on Silhouette.

Silhouette had Cellar Masters up to this point, I’m happy to see Craft Social coming in, with a husband who likes his craft beers he’ll be quite happy to check this out. I was never overly happy with the selection of wines in CM so not a big loss for me. Curious to know what the MeetingPlace will be....perhaps a card room or crafting and games area? We don’t sail on her until May 2021 so looking forward to upcoming reviews.

The Meeting Place
With 1,970-square-feet of flexible space, The Meeting Place is perfect for your next event. Strategically situated to provide stunning ocean views, the venue can be configured for any need—general sessions, conferences, banquets, or cocktail seating. Seating is modern and comfortable, with options for theater-style, classroom, U-shaped, or circular layouts. And, when top of the line AV comes standard, the only thing left to do is close the deal.

What we learned on our recent cruise was if you want something that is not on the menu, ask. My wife did not like anything on the menu one night and mentioned it to our waiter. He brought her a couple of filet mignon, and a salad.

We were in 8206. Never obstructed except when the MC cruised by for a few minutes each day.
-
Quite a bit of scotch. Probably some Irish

If it's anything like the Edge, you better pick something else. Last week the only things I found on the ship were Maker's Mark, Woodford, Jim Beam, and 1 bottle of Elijah Craig small batch.

Just off Edge 2 days ago. Waffles available in OVC, Blu, and Luminae everyday.
Show times were 7:30 and 9:30. Eden shows were at 10:15. Club had shows at 7:30, 8:20, 9:30.

We recently booked a flight through Choice Air on Delta. Delta has basic economy which sounds like this discount class. We called CA and asked which class we were getting. They stated that it was standard economy, as they never book basic economy. After the purchase, I verified through Delta and we are in regular economy. Sounds like they are doing something different with TAP.

Seems like it keeps getting less and less. A 3 years ago on Millennium I found Booker's, Baker's, and Blanton's. Two years ago, I only found Maker's, Woodford, and JD SiB. This spring on Allure I found Blanton's and Four Roses SiB.

They use the plastic cups around the pool areas so they don’t have to worry about broken glass in the pool and hot tub as people like to lounge in both with drinks.

I was given plastic cups at every bar on the Sun this past weekend. Seems a bit contradictory to "save the world" by eliminating straws, but using plastic cups everywhere. I didn't miss the straws at all, just found it a bit ironic.
-
1. I can understand the desire to eliminate the plastic straws on the ship, but why are all of the drinks served in plastic cups?
2. Do people use straws at home for their drinks?
-
The best I found on a recent Equinox cruise was JD Single Barrel and JD Single Barrel Rye in the Ensemble Lounge. Last year was much better, with Booker's and Bakers.

The best I can say is it depends. In the past we have received a cake for our anniversary. Ont his cruise we say a couple that got a cake for their honeymoon. We got nothing for our 10th anniversary on that same cruise, even though it was listed in our docs.

I'm on the same cruise as the OP, and apparently we also need to change our flight from MIA to Europe!

I just booked ChoiceAir last Saturday for a cruise that was booked through a TA, and got no email, and saw nothing on the Celebrity site related to it. When I went onto ChoiceAir, it showed what I paid, but did not list the flights. So I just called. The agent quickly confirmed that I had valid reservations, gave me the confirmation number, and sent me the info via email as well. I was able to log onto Delta and find and verify my flights. He said they were having some system glitches. I'd suggest just calling and verifying. Took less than 5 minutes.

Just off the infinity. Ate at Tuscan twice. Steaks in Blu were better in our opinion, but the rest of the menu and service was great.

Wife and I both got Blue Extras last week for Elite on Celebrity. However, I checked my Add Ons and we have an extra $100 in Sailor Loot. No idea where it came from. Possibly from our travel agent, but have not seen any notes about it. But not going to complain!
