Which of the ships that you have sailed on this year has the best options lunch wise regarding diversity and quality? Apex, Edge, Mardi Gras, Wonder, Oasis (value week), or Odyssey? That award goes to Mardi Gras without a doubt! The fried chicken… the burrito place, Guy’s burger, street eats, the empanadas at the cafe, the pizza…everything was so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted April 5, 2022 Author #153 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Day 2 Late night adult comedy with Jason Blanchard… very toned down for adult comedy… still very funny but nothing like the adult comedy on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year is going to be more adventurous… I booked Carnival Splendor in January to see Australia/ South Pacific for 11 nights because the price was right and currently they are offering the longest cruise in Australia.

Rare BennyBrun Posted April 5, 2022 Author #159 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Day 2 San Juan 4PM - 11PM Such a late arrival and I will not be staying out long…I have Eden tonight. It’s interesting that they have a regularly scheduled evening programming while the ship is in port late. It’s almost like they don’t want you to leave the ship 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approachable, knowledgeable, personable, all around great guy! Agreed ..we really thought Lewis was a great CD…and enjoyed the Captains daily messages and his talk on the last sea day.. Did they say if they were going to perform the other production show ..colors of life..there were some safety issues so they couldn’t perform it last week. They did add another guest entertainer “The Knights” instead ..they were fabulous.. Also highly recommend Soul Waves and Tommy Greene Jr if they are still onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that Chic night on an Alaskan cruise was pretty casual compared to other Celebrity cruises. Is that true? DH and I are doing a cruise to Alaska for our 25th.

Agree about Lewis and Captain's presentation. According to the app, Colors of Life is scheduled for day 7 this week. Maybe a placeholder to see if they can fix the problem. Appears Soulwaves is not on this week -- they were fantastic. We also enjoyed the Knights, and they are still on this week. Their rendition of the two Les Mis songs was awesome... mac_tlc Edited April 5, 2022 by mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sailed Celebrity in Alaska 3 times and this pic is a good representation of expected dress attire imo. I haven't noticed any difference between Alaska or Caribbean sailings regarding attire, other than during the day hours.

Yes they will try to Colors of life later on the week but they have a lot of entertainment going on … tonight is Janiene Valentine at 7PM or 9PM. Won’t be able to catch the 9 PM because of Eden and 7PM is iffy because of the Puerto Rico walk but we shall see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think that depends on the cruisers and not so much the cruise line. I was on the Millennium to Alana and they were very dressed up. That should be a great cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do get dressed up with ties and tuxedo and fancy dresses! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
