  1. And then , there are people that got tired of royal and now love x That’s me…
  2. Thank you, I never thought that could be possible because of how large the group is thanks
  3. Hi When a ship from royal is docked at coco cay simultaneously with celebrity. Who will be proving lunch, royal or celebrity? I love Coco cay and royal but their lunch is not that good. Thanks
  4. Hi I’m traveling with lots of friends and I was wondering if it is possible to request a table of 10 for all of us. We currently have 830pm Thanks
  5. I went to that beach last week and it was amazing. It was my first time in bimini and I didn't know what to expect there so I booked directly with the cruise. had no problem with the welcome drink or funding chairs and umbrellas. I only waited 5 mins for the tram each way. our waiter told us about a free beach next to the pier but as I said before, it was my first time in bimini. I'm going back to bimini and I just canceled the excursion not because of bad service, but because I rather stay on the free beach next to the port, The water looks amazing as well.
  6. my gf was able to get a seltzer but they will not give you a perrier which we used to get on other ships. No virgin versions of the HH drink. They show you a menu that has Coke, juices, and water. And yes the water bottle comes in plastic now.
  7. I don't do reviews, but I will tell you what I liked and didn't like about my last sailing. Equinox August 13-18/2023 I used to sail with Royal before; I am a cruise away from becoming diamond plus, but Celebrity is not allowing me to reach diamond plus. I traveled with my girlfriend, and I live in Miami. I got to the terminal around 10 am and parked my car, the airport was open, but we waited 30 mins and got on the ship at 11 am. The crew is super friendly. I went directly to my room to drop my carry-on. Ocean café was open at 11.20 pm, so I switched to X from Royal. The food at X is so good; the ocean view was delicious, MDR and Murano. We didn't like the petite chef because it took almost 2 hrs, the room was super warm, and it was a waste of time and money. I went to Sillhoute twice this year, and I believe Equinox has better food. On the other hand, I noticed that the crew was a little bit tired; if I go heard ten good mornings every day at OC while I was in the Sillhoute, I only heard three on Equinox ( I just made those numbers, but it is to give you an idea). The ship looked a little bit old on the outside, cabin, and balcony, we didn't care about that, but it is a fact. This is the first time someone steals, or I don't know how to call it, a personal item from the ocean view café. I left my Yeti water bottle on the table while we went for food, it was 3 mins max, and the bottle was gone. We asked the waiter and everyone around, and no one saw anything. We filled out a report, but we won't get it back. I noticed people leaving phones, brand handbags, and designer sunglasses on the table, but I guess I didn't run with the same luck. I usually leave my seapass and sunglass; the first time I left my Yeti water bottle, it was gone. The entertainment is fantastic; I believe they are trying to attract more young people, which I like. Cruise Directo was full of energy, and the whole staff. I couldn't find anything wrong with the ship; the food was tasty and warm, a plus for us. I only which we can get our elite drink anytime during the day, and I believe that the list for virgin drinks is minimal. Last but not least, I just booked two more cruises for 2023. I wonder if I ever will become diamond plus lol
  8. I hope the same, I can't wait till they offer virgin drinks like pina colada the non-alcoholic list is so limited in X.
  9. Hi everyone. I was watching a youtube channel and heard the guy in the video saying that even if you have assigned dining time of 8:30 pm you can walk in before that time. let's say 10 or 20 mins before 8:30 PM and you can get in the MDr without problems. I thought it was closed and you were not able to get in until your selected time.
  10. yes which is not enforced lol, at least in Miami and fort Lauderdale
  11. princes is related to Carnival right?, no thank you
  12. Coming from Royal where they prefer that we use the digital menu, I caught my celebrity waiter off guard when I told her that I was ready and I had the menu on the phone. Took another X cruise and it was the same, I also noticed that most people get paper menus which in my opinion can make the experience take longer. I was wondering what is the norm, paper or digital menu. Thanks
  13. When I was in college, I saw my first celebrity cruise like 10 years and I was like , noo noooo I saw my first royal cruise 10 years ago and I was like, I wanna get there Out of my 4 cruises for 2023, 3 were with celebrity. They are doing something good.
  14. I was wondering if you are allowed to bring your own water. I know Royal don't care but I have no clue wth X Thanks
  15. Hi I’m sailing on equinox but I no longer see the MDR menu in the app. I even selected a different dialing and still don’t se it !
  16. I won, let’s say 99% of the time. The only time that I didn’t win was bc I asked for a grand suite. But, my experience is based with royal. I never bid in x because the minimum is super high this is what I do, again this is what I do with rcl I always book interior and bid for a balcony n suites. I only place the minimum bid and move the needle just a little bit to bid for the minimum plus 20$. That’s all. I end up in balcony most of the time and only a few junio suites btw I’m close to be diamond plus
  17. I was expecting WOS to do better I was on the harmony a few months ago and due to bad service and food in both MDR and windjammer I decided to sail with celebrity for 2024 and the rest of 23. I love royal , almost diamonds plus but last ship was really bad. I spoke to the manager of windhammer about the quality of food and he told me that "it will improve in the future but this is what we have " see you in the future then lol
  18. I really like this thread, first time going to Bimini so I don't really know what to expect. I thought the beach club was included like cococay with royal lol. I guess I have to do some reacher lol
  19. Hi I might book for the first time " specialty dining" The more I watch youtube videos with my girlfriend the more I want to reserve at least one time quick question, can I ask fir more than one appetizer? Thanks
  20. please keep neglecting the celebrity brand, don't even touch it. I am almost diamond plus on royal and I had my first X cruise this year and we loved it. last month I went to the Harmony and the food and service were terrible, like I have never seen before and I really love Royal. So, let them keep building new beaches and expanding clubs, don't touch X cruise please lol
  21. Well I just booked another X cruise, I went on it for the first time in 2023 and i loved it. I selected MDR at 830 But I see that they also have 3 complimentary dining ( cyprus- normandie-tuscan). I guess the MDR is Cosmopolitan , but how do I get to eat in any of those 3 restaurant. I try to click on it and reserve but the sysem will not allow me. I dont know if i allowed to eat there or not, im not familiar with celebrity. Thanks
