The men who are reading this and have sailed on S-class ships may agree or now but I miss the riddles, quizzes, and quotes that are posted above the urinals in the public men’s restrooms on the S-class ships. I use to make a point of visiting as many as I could find just to read the ‘writing on the walls.’ I also miss the automatic door open and close buttons for the restroom doors. I completely agree. The lack of buttons on the restroom doors poses a real challenge. Also the threshold between areas, I am assuming for the fire doors, are much higher than on other ships and make crossing them in a scooter quite an adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I thought when I first looked at it and saw the mint leaves. It has vodka, muddled mint and lemon, and slices of cucumber. I suspect it also contains sugar free sprite as that seems to be his favorite secret ingredient. I am looking forward to tonight’s after dinner cocktail, he mentioned something about a new rum for me to enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted April 25, 2023 Author #309 Share Posted April 25, 2023 For those following and are curious how the shipboard wifi has been working all I can saybis “fantastic.” While there have been occasional instances where a screen has paused, the speeds have been great, considering Celebrity apparently throttles user to give a relative standard performance to all users. Here are the results of speed test I have been running so far this cruise. Keep in mind I have the Premium WiFi package do user’s with basic will most likely have slower speeds. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty terrible for me, was barely able to get any serious work done which does require a good amount of data flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Fly and Sail Posted April 26, 2023 #313 Share Posted April 26, 2023 OK, the notice about the Helipad is printed in Celebrity Today for tomorrow so it's not an event limited to a certain group of invited guests. I wonder how they manage the crowds but given the mobility limitations of many guests on this cruise and the hot weather it's probably not so much of a run on the platform.

I'm over 80 so I pretty much have muscle and body aches every day. And fatigue, depending on how energetic I get in a zumba class! And I have severe allergies, so stuffy nose, congestion, and coughing are part of my daily life. I just answer no to those questions as they are not new symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted April 26, 2023 #315 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Enjoy the canal tomorrow!! I look forward to seeing some photos. It's going to be hot!! Bring a hydration pack with you if you are going to be out on that helipad for any length of time. I suspect the Sky Lounge will be very popular--hopefully no chair hogs there. We have an aft balcony for next April's canal cruise. Our balcony should be in the shade! Edited April 26, 2023 by mahdnc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need him to concentrate on keeping the area clean, and finish the business fast to make the facility available to others. I recently did a major bathroom remodel. I did it my self. I also followed my doctors orders. Best advice I ever had and my wife has to allow it. Showers are now one of the best part of the day next to waking up.

I can fit only one fat and short bottle there. Where do I complain about it? Friggin Americans can’t get their measurements and math right🤣🤣🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moochi Posted April 26, 2023 #320 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Is helipad going to be open the entire day for those who are invited, and you can go in and out though out the day for the view? That would be really cool, and worth it to book the Retreat just for this privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted April 26, 2023 #322 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Hope you have a great passage through the canal and get a some interesting photos. We've only done a partial from east (before expansion), and it was perfect...Our ship had great placement in line.. We took an excursion from Lake Gatun (?) and had wonderful canal views...but a full transit is still on our list. I read an article this morning on my phone's weather app that the area down there is in drought and two feeeder lakes (humanmade) do not have sufficent water from rain to adequately supply the canal. Article said they are limiting large shipping vessels. If you hear anything let us know. E N J O Y ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
