She said it was excellent — as always. 
 

But we couldn’t stop at one each , we ordered the filet & lamb Wellington to “share” 😜😜.

 

So is it acceptable to order multiple apps/entrees? Do you get charged more? I have Eden booked on Beyond and the food looks amazing but I’m torn between a few things. Luckily I booked before they raised the price. The menu looks great but I’m indecisive 😂

We always have had 2 apps per person, one entree and a “shareable” one and have never been charged anymore.

The demise of oatmeal in Luminae at breakfast has been greatly exaggerated!

 

The menu has Very Berry Baked Oatmeal on it. I asked for plain and brown sugar :

 

 

 

Nice and hot!

I see that they have valet luggage service, however it does not state what the earliest flight time is to qualify. Would you be able to inquire as to the flight times for use of valet? 

11:30 AM from Fll.

Not sure why, but we were walking by the World Class Bar and I decided to take pictures of the menu. Not sure we will go there but I was curious what their prices were — what with all the discussions lately about the PBP price limit. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I think I need to try an American Pie Cocktail 😏.

YOU are the one who got me on Woodford in April! (that peaches & bourbon in Luminae was YUMMY)

I have been experimenting w/ Old Fashions now.

On Beyond last month I ordered one at Craft Social--DELISH. No idea what bourbon it was.

Then one at that Club. Not so good.

Our friend drinks Bullit so tried it with the. Naw, not for me.

Tried Woodford--YEP, THAT'S THE TICKET.

SO I BLAME YOU!!🤭

 

(Yes, thx for tagging me...we just got home Saturday from a week on the NCL Prima, so still not fully caught up on my CC readings!)

I my fav is Old Fashions.   Luxardo Cherries , orange wedge, sweetener, it can be agave syrup, muddle brown sugar cube, or maple syrup all muddled and some of the Luxardo cherry juice.   use 4 to 5 different bitters, 2 0z bourbon and a large ice cube.   Sometimes a 1/4 to 1/2 oz of Grand Marnier for that extra kick and orange flavor.   Twist of orange peel for garnish.  
 

I found on board that the BTs don’t make the drinks the same  I will tell them how I like it and then frequent that BT that makes it the best rating to me.  At home if it is too sweet or not sweet enough I adjust, some BTs will do that.  For a great experience have one with a small bite from a piece of chocolate before taking a sip.   Use the one that is on your pillow.  Very small  bites and that piece will last the whole drink.  At home we will have the chocolate covered cherries that we purchase from Nut.com.  Learned that trick when visiting the distilleries in KY on the Bourbon Trail

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Some lady just won $2,400~ playing slots. It's the first time I have ever seen anyone win that much playing slots in cruise casino 🤷‍♂️

Recent cruise on Apex we sat next to couple who were on fully comped cruise (air, hotel, cruise) at dinner.  Ran into them later in casino getting ready to call attendant for 14k+ win on slot machine.

Good morning from Cozumel Mexico!

Today’s plan is a simple one — heading to Nachi Cocum. If we get there in time we will be at our usual table in the corner of the pool deck😂😂. Come by and say hi. 
 

Also, consider buying the entry picture from Ivonne. She is a great lady who saved us a few trips back when I forgot my credit card. Good souvenir and only about $12.

A good deal.  You can make "Open" bookings too in which you can choose later.

Sounds like our plan! We are not beach lovers so the pool is our desired location.

You got there early!  Smart move.  There are five ships in port today, but on 7 Feb when we're there ,there will be seven including the massice Icon of the Seas, so we'll be there when it opens.  P.S. The chicken wings are excellent!  

[bandp407]

Can anyone onboard not in the Retreat, tell me if there have been any issues getting lounge chairs above the resort deck? I am certain they are difficult on the pool deck as with all ships. 
 

Many thanks¡

What does that mean? Celebrity's Blue Chip Club casino program doesn't Comp air and hotel. I don't know any cruise casino program that comps air and hotel. I'm curious what type of comp they were actually on.
