Do you know if it’s back on the kids menu in the MDR? To my knowledge it is available in MDR also. They do not have it posted anywhere that I've seen but we have been ordering it throughout the cruise. It is also the perfect size for us. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magic carpet was used at that tender port (Phuket). Unless the spouse and I have become utter dingbats during the last three weeks,we both remember using it. Again, we were told that it was damaged by one of the large private tenders in York’s Knob. Gerry We were using it in Yorkey's Knob and returned to the ship using it. Right after out tender it was taken out of service. Just realized it will not make a difference on the next cruise we have NO tender ports... yea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have try that on my cruise in 9 days, with my own usual modification, of course. Iain had it today and had them add crispy bacon. They will put on and take off to your desire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going on Apex next month so we'll give it one more try. With all the suites, the experience wasn't as exclusive as with the older ships. Luminae has a wonderful view but we didn't have good service until we asked to be moved to a different section. I'm curious what we will find on Apex. We had a fantastic time on Apex. Best waiter and assistant ever. Sony and Marcus. I hear Marcus is on Aex now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they take off for me is 1/2 the burger - sliced horizontally to make it a quarter pound burger (sometimes it's hard to explain it the first time, but after that, they totally get it). Once or twice we've turned it into a grilled cheese with onion jam. Edited December 8, 2023 by abbydancer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge seems to be struggling with so many passengers and attention to detail. I continue to have the feeling that the Retreat is more like an airport lounge instead of more intimate lounge like on M and Class We have decided that too. The design of E-class seems to make it more difficult with the number of passengers and especially suites. We have decided to stick with S-class now for any future Celebrity cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG781 Posted December 8, 2023 #1009 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Hey Jim. We experienced the "cough room" on the Solstice in February for a final tour in LA. We were waiting to debark for the tour when 3/4 of the room was coughing and hacking. I was thinking no way am I sitting on a 5 hours bus tour. We got up and politely left.

I continue to have the feeling that the Retreat is more like an airport lounge instead of more intimate lounge like on M and Class I think the issue is the large increase in the number of suites. The Edge has almost 3 times as many suites as the Silhouette (176 vs 66). It's tough to give individualized attention and pay attention to detail with that many more people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
