    Sushi on Five Question

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    I'm a HUGE sushi lover, and will be sailing to Alaska in August on the Solstice for our very first cruise. I know Sushi on Five is one of the specialty restaurants, and since my husband and I are in a Sky Suite, I purchased a Specialty dining package for 3 days/nights. What I'm wondering is whether or not I can use that for a lunch service, since the folks we're traveling with, who are in the penthouse, are planning to go during that time. I've noticed it appears to be a la carte - is there an all-you-can-eat option? Will one of the 3 Specialty Dining package days cover it? There is a specific offering for $20 worth of sushi to add to my trip - is that the way I should go? My husband and I would like to eat there, and I want to know what the best option would be. Thank you!

     

    No all you can eat option at Sushi on 5 and not included in the dining packages.

    Thank you for the review and amazing photos.

     

    I willl check out Dora De Explorer and Thumbs Up.

     

    Did you hear of any great tours or activities in Cabo?

     

    We are sailing on the Carnival Legend in October 2019, sailing from LA to my home port of Tampa. Very excited.

     

    Thanks again for the info.

     

     

    Thank You.

     

    I did a food tour in Cabo with Juan More Taco. Highly recommend.

     

    Cabo has some great fishing trips also.

    I am on this cruise (eastbound) in October and need to book tours. I'd already signed up with Dora a few months ago and am happy to see your positive review. I looked into something with Roberto but couldn't decide which tour to do (then got sidetracked booking stuff for a different cruise). Which tour did you do? BTW thanks for a great thread. Seeing your Qsine photos makes me sad that it isn't going to be there for our cruise.

     

    Similar question for Thumbs Up. I hadn't looked into a tour there but they seem to have great reviews.

     

    Haven't gotten thru the rest of the thread so if there are any other must-do tours, please let me know.

     

    And thanks for a great thread.

     

     

    Email from Roberto with tour description

    0915 hrs: Pick up at Colon 2000 Shopping Mall. Upon disembarking at the Colon 2000 pier you and your party should proceed up the escalator, walk across the bridge and as you come down the escalator, I will meet you at the “Souvenir Store” located on your right hand below the banner of Theodore Roosevelt. I will be holding a sign with your name and the name of the tour company “Robtad´s” for you to identify me.

    After this we will take the 25-minute journey to visit the newly inaugurated Agua Clara locks from its Visitor’s Pavilion overlooking the Agua Clara locks - the new set of locks ($15.00 entrance fee). This Atlantic Locks Observation Center is suspended 60 meters above sea level and 50 meters above the Canal and it has natural trails that visitors can use to wander into the rainforest. From here the visitors have a splendid view of Gatun Lake, the Canal and the newly inaugurated Agua Clara locks.

    After this we will take the highway and travel 50 minutes to Panama City. We will then pass through the rainforest and take the Centennial Bridge to cross over the Canal at its highest point at Gaillard or Culebra Cut and travel from South America to North America, B4 passing thru the former Canal Zone area to get a first-hand view of the Canal at Miraflores Visitor´s Center (CVM) (20.00 entrance fee). Located on the east side of Miraflores, CVM is the perfect place to witness how the Panama Canal operates. Standing on any of its large balconies you will be able to see and understand how a ship is raised up 56 feet (17 meters) in two steps from sea level (Pacific Ocean) to the level of Miraflores Lake.

    Four exhibition halls organized by topic, are the heart of the Miraflores Visitor´s Center and these halls portray the story of the waterway; the importance of water as a fountain of life; how the Panama Canal works and its role in the world commerce. After this we will drive thru the former Canal Zone area and go to the Amador Causeway; 3 islands (Naos, Perico and Flamenco) that were united with much of the material that was excavated from the Canal at Gaillard Cut to see the skyline of city at its farthest point.

    After this we will go into the Casco Antiguo or Colonial City. It was founded in 1673 as a replacement for the previous capital in ruins, which was destroyed two years earlier during the English Captain Henry Morgan’s attack. The Casco Antiguo is full of historic monuments such as the Cathedral, the national theater, the historic Golden Altar, the Presidential Palace, and stroll historic Las Bovedas, which is a beautiful walkway where you can find the history of the French Canal engraved in the walls on the lower part of the walkway.

    In this tour you will have the opportunity to also visit Modern Panama City B4 we return to the ship. This is a seven-hour tour and the cost will vary depending on the amount of people that join us: $360(1-4 pax); $90/pax (5-7 pax); $85/pax (8-13 pax) and $80/pax (+14 pax).

    I don't recall Roberto giving a specific tour name but it was Agua Clara Locks, Miraflores Locks and Panama City.

     

    Qsine has since been replaced on Infinity with Le Petit Chef :loudcry:=(

     

    Highly recommend the 10 in 1 Tour with Thumps Up.

    Slightly off topic but how popular is Sushi on five. Just off Silhouette and it was never busy, in fact it was mostly completely empty. This could be because it was the Bravo cruise or could be that it never gets busy.

     

    Just on Infinity a few weeks ago (Panama Canal). Sushi on 5 was empty every single night. I saw a small handful of guests and mostly crew there.

     

    I'm sad Qsine is gone on Infinity =(

    Erik, I found your review, yay!! Your pictures are absolutely incredible, you captured 15 days of amazing adventures not to mention all the detail from in and around the ship. It was great to meet you in the MDR even if you did steal our porthole one night ;) Maybe we will see you on a future cruise. Michelle and Dan
