cruisetimeforme Posted March 31, 2018 #126 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Boarding Sunday and curious if you did end up getting a discount for upgrading from your classic beverage package to the premium? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bimmer09 Posted March 31, 2018 #127 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Dana , thanks for the pics from Tuscan Grill. The wake view tables are fantastic and our favorite. The food looks great and goat cheese deep fried is scrumptious ! Definitely hitting Tuscan again on our next X cruise. Have you visited Qsine before? If you are getting to it in this review no need to respond. Cheers! Norris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmb1988 Posted March 31, 2018 #128 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Just stumbled across your review! Thank you so much for taking the time to post all the details and photos. We are sailing on Reflection in December with more or less exactly the same ports (Grenada instead of St Maarten) and we also have the Spencer Ambrose and Woodwind tours booked so can’t wait to see your comments on those :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalianne Posted March 31, 2018 #129 Share Posted March 31, 2018 oh no! I'm going as fast as I can, but I definitely won't be finished before this weekend!

Rare deladane Posted March 31, 2018 Author #130 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I’ve been following along and enjoying your review and had two fun surprises while reading about your Miami adventures. I have been to both the Peruvian spot and Pane E Vino when I was in Miami Beach for a couple months for work a few years ago. Love Pane E Vino and glad you discovered it! Thanks for your review - it’s keeping me entertained while impatiently waiting for my cruise on the Connie in 3 weeks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Oh how funny! Of all the restaurants in Miami, I guess we have similar taste in food ;p;p Both were great finds! Your cruise will be here before you know it- hope you have a great time!

Rare deladane Posted March 31, 2018 Author #131 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi Dana. Loving the review and just finished reading your sunshine review. We are doing the Adriatic next year on Celebrity Constellation. We did the Caribbean with MSC two years ago. Absolutely fantastic and we will doing another one, possibly in 2020. Although Alaska and the Rocky Mountaneer is another one we want to do. We are taking a year off cruising. A couple of beach holidays just recharging our batteries and touring the UK are our plans for a his year. The Lake District, Chester and London. Their is so much to see and do on your own doorstep. I’m sure it’s he same for you in the USA. John All of those cruises sound fantastic! I hope to return to Europe sometime soon, although we have been discussing maybe doing that as a land trip. Time will tell! Thanks for reading along :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare deladane Posted March 31, 2018 Author #132 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks for next instalment. Perhaps I missed it, but which dinner seating are you on? We did select dining. I'll talk more about our experiences when I get to dinner time on the second night of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris We loved Tuscan so much on our 2016 cruise that we spent the last 2 years talking about it and knowing that we would return there on this cruise. We did not go to Qsine because we are kind of picky on what we like to eat and it would make it hard for us to share things there. I looked through the menu and most things work for one of us but not both of us. It's too bad because I would love to eat there but I just don't think it would work for us.

I went to Grenada on a cruise in 2010 but it was raining the whole time I was at Grand Anse beach so I don't have the fondest memories of that port. I'd love to go back sometime though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgeven Posted March 31, 2018 #136 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi Dana, loving your live review :-) and Thank you for sharing it. We are looking forward to our cruise on Eclipse in September. If I can ask you a question... what’s the deal about the GastroBar in Eclipse? I am a bit confused about it... is it next to the Paspport bar or did they changed the passport into Gastro?

Rare aml3679 Posted March 31, 2018 #137 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Enjoyed your PG review (convinced us to hold off on Polynesia until we can spend 15 days minimum on the islands and cruising) from earlier this year and looking forward to hearing about your trip on the Eclipse. Congratulations on getting married. Celebrity is our favorite cruise line and I look forward to your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare deladane Posted March 31, 2018 Author #138 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Hi Dana, loving your live review :-) and Thank you for sharing it. We are looking forward to our cruise on Eclipse in September. If I can ask you a question... what’s the deal about the GastroBar in Eclipse? I am a bit confused about it... is it next to the Paspport bar or did they changed the passport into Gastro? Sent from my iPhone using Forums The GastroBar on the Eclipse is located in the area of the Grand Foyer on Deck 3 where other ships have the Passport Bar. When we were on the Equinox (I am not sure if any other S-class ships have one), it was located on deck 4 opposite the Martini Bar. On the Eclipse, that space is used for Cellar Masters which is a fancy wine bar with no beers. I think they actually converted the Passport bar into a GastroBar by adding a wall of refrigerators (like being in a 7-11 haha) with tons of craft beer. I realized when we got home that I never took a photo of it. It is not really called a GastroBar but I guess this is as close as it gets. DH loved this place and went there nearly every day to get a bottle of beer. Nearly all of them (except for 2 I think) are covered by the premium beverage package. He used to ask for them to leave the caps on so he could bring them back to the cabin and store in our fridge to drink on the balcony later in the day (we packed a corkscrew/bottle opener from home). Hope that helps! Edited March 31, 2018 by deladane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare deladane Posted March 31, 2018 Author #140 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Before I get too far into the review, I want to take a few posts to give you a tour of the ship. Throughout the 2 weeks, I took photos of the public spaces around the ship, so I am not sure exactly which days I took each of these photos but I’ll just share them all here, deck by deck starting at deck 3, going forward to aft on the ship.
