  1. When you get on board the daily rag and app will show the times of operations of operations for all of the restaurants for that day . The app is available thru the free ship internet. Before your cruise the App will also show what is available every day and indicate if there is a charge It will also show the menu for each dining room for that day. It is a useful tool to decide when and if you want to try a specialty restaurant. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  2. If you are 6 years old you cannot play in the casino. 😩🤗🙄 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  3. I hide fake rats, snakes, cockroaches, and dog piles 💩. It makes for great fun. 🤗😱 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸
  4. If you upgrade to the premium pack PLEASE don’t do it with the hawks that roam around looking to do the upgrades. They do that because they get all of the gratuity portion. You will never see them again. Do it with a BT at a bar that you plan on frequenting. The BTs appreciate it and deserve it as they will be making your drinks and often will recommend or make a drink that they may think you would like. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  5. And this is the compliment to those dildos Don’t know what they were thinking making this the center piece of the Martini Bar Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  6. We just got off of the Equinox. The Alcoves face the lawn area. The awning or overhead protection is slatted wood. Being in the Caribbean it usually rains sometimes during the day. Walking back for the Sunset bar to get to the stairs it was raining. People were sitting there in the rain with water dripping thru the slats. I don’t see the fascination or purpose of having a alcove looking at a lawn. I can sit on my front porch or back deck at home to look at the same. When on a cruise I want to look at the water and I can do that on my veranda. I can get any drink or food to take to there for a bar or buffet or for the cost of a Alcove can pay for a lot of drinks using room service. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  7. The problem with paying the difference is everything the glass is refilled it is a charge. I ran into this during a chef experience dinner. The server asked if I would like to try a certain wine. I said sure and he poured a little into my glass. I tasted it and it was nothing special but ok. I am not a wine snob or connoisseur. I said I have the premium pack is it covered and he said yes it is $10. I said OK. When my glass was getting low he would refill it. Great service. At the end of the dinner I got a bill for almost $50 for the wine. I signed it and didn’t want to make a scene. The next day I went to GR a and told them my problem as I told him that I had the premium pack and wanted to stay within it. They removed the extra cost and honestly the wine wasn’t worth the extra $10 per glass over the limit. As I said I am not a wine snob but that was ridiculous. During lunch and dinner it is very easy to get 3 to 4 refills of wine and most times I don’t finish the last glass and the refills usually don’t amount to a full pour. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  8. They did have a bar that was shared with the Gelato area. The drink menu was on a IPad. . It was similar to the WCB. I guess it didn’t work out and was eliminated as it was probably on a trial. They had a few smoked drinks and overall the drinks weren’t that great. I think that is why it failed. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  9. We just got off of the Equinox. It seemed as if the Foyer was the main area of entertainment. No matter what deck you were on the sound level was very loud as it blasted throughout the open area to all of the decks above. You could hear them in the Library. At times it was so loud that you couldn’t carry on a conversation at the Martini Bar. Thankfully we were in a suite and we had the Retreat. That is a great name as we could have a drink in a relaxed, quiet atmosphere and social with others i don’t know what the thinking is but I think they want to gravitate towards Carnival. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  10. They are all available. It depends on the time of day, and also the category you are in. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  11. We have a cabin booked further forward that sticks out more 9150. Would the location of your cabin provide more shade during the day? I know it depends on the angle of the sun but I am wondering if there is more overhang from above Thanks. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  12. On one cruise I seen where AQ was only $100 pp less than a SS. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  13. On our last cruise our server told us they were either English style or European style and not southern American. They are a once per cruise thing just for variety. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  14. I agree some abuse the system. On our last cruise I was told that Celebrity now charges $150/day for bringing on a animal. This was by the Retreat Concierge. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  15. It is also the same menu that is on the Equinox. And as you noted they are also serving other drinks. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  16. I don’t think the burgers increased in size. I think they made the bun smaller. 🤗 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  17. Thanks for the explanation He still would have got the premium bev pack and upgraded internet. That is worth something According to that It would have been worse if he booked a suite because all perks are usually qincluded I have also read members that are Elite will also complain that their HH perks are useless because they have the bev pack. I would rather have the bev pack than be restricted to 2 hours of a limited drink menu. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  18. We were in a Royal Suite on the Reflection. Everyday we would have room service for Breakfast and always dined in the Specialty restaurants. The only time we went to Luminae was disembarkation day for breakfast. It was rather busy. We both ordered omelets. My wife also ordered bacon, and a bagel and I ordered biscuits and gravy and Kielbasa. Others were seated after us, served breakfast, ate, left and we were still waiting. Those around us would look at us confused as they noticed us just waiting since they ordered after us, were served and eating. Some also made comments to us about it. Our server seemed to disappear. I thought it might be because we didn’t dine there during the cruise and the servers didn’t know us. I flagged down another server and asked about our breakfast. He found our server and sent him over. He said it was taking longer because they had to prepare the Kielbasa as there wasn’t enough cooked. I told him that he should have told me about the problem and I would have ordered something else. It took another 15 minutes before we were served and most of it was cold. I learned to tell the server if there is a problem to let us know and not keep us waiting twiddling our thumbs. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  19. in the negative you wrote that you had to pay for the drink pack and internet because you were in AQ. I thought that Zenith always got those perks ZENITH | 3,000+ CLUB POINTS MANY OF THE BENEFITS OF ELITE MEMBERSHIP PLUS: The height of Captain’s Club membership—Zenith—is designed exclusively for our most loyal guests, offering the quality benefits and perks befitting this ultimate level of membership. • Complimentary Unlimited Premium Wifi Package (limited to one device) • Complimentary laundry throughout the sailing • Complimentary Premium Drink Package • 50% discount on any digital or print photo package at the Photo Gallery • $300 off The Studio photo packages • 25% off specialty dining cover charge • 20% discount at The Spa (excludes MedSpa and retail) • Priority seating in the theater (on evening chic and production show nights, seats released 10 minutes prior to curtain call) • Access to Concierge Lunch in the Main Dining Room • Upgraded bath amenities • Charitable donation on your behalf made by Captain’s Club (See celebrity *****/captainsclub/enroll#Terms for full terms and conditions) • Complimentary 7-night Caribbean or Bermuda cruise (in a veranda stateroom only) • Complimentary 7-night Caribbean or Bermuda cruise (in an AquaClass® stateroom) at Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  20. The ship had a lot of nice features and overall we enjoyed the cruise. The problem is now they are “upgrading” the other ships with the using the style rather than function and comfort concept. This is my opinion and I am sure others will be different. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  21. The designers have no idea period for a cruise ship. The cabins aren’t functional. Blu is like it was a after thought. The upper decks have no shaded areas and is a terrible place to watch a movie during the day time Not good sight lines in Eden or The Club for watching the shows except for a few seats. Most seating around the ship looks nice but not that comfortable. Craft Social is too small to be used as a Sports Bar Who ever signed off is also at fault. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  22. If sailing out of the same port and ship at the same time of year it happens. People will sail to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries so it will be the same time of year. The ship will be the same because it is close to their home or just a cruise itinerary they like. We tend to only sail in the Caribbean as we can drive to the port and it is during our anniversary. Have seen the same couples many times especially those that live in FL and are sailing to earn a higher status. Have seen the same couple many times as they are Zenith and are usually the couple that gets the award for sailing the most. We use to see the same couples in Vegas when we would visit a few times per year. We stayed at the same casino and played VP at the bars and went celebrating our anniversaries and birthdays. We live in Mi and they were from PA, MN, TX, CA, and AZ. It became a joke as we would say see you in a few months or we missed you the last time here. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  23. About 9:30 as others have posted. You really don’t want to be on the ship as everything is closed out and down. You cannot make drink purchases, the food is cleared out and the staff is very busy. The internet service shuts down. We have done many B2B and the period between cruises is being in limbo. You basically sit around and wait. It is better to go to some place in port. If possible do the luggage transfer. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  24. What is it that you think is worth ‘moving up” to a concierge cabin? You don’t get to choose the cabin, you don’t get the extra points if that is what you are interested in and the cabin is the same size. The embarkation lunch isn’t anything special. There really isn’t much benefit for spending the extra. Agree with others for AQ Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
  25. The cosmos and apple martini are also made using the the liquors in the classic package. They aren’t the same as the premium martinis you get at the Martini bar. Ex. The Cosmo is made with a cheaper vodka, not Grey Goose and uses triple sec instead Cointreau. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
