Last year, I went on a 7 days Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Beyond. I was very impressed with the entertainment, particularly the shows that were some of the best I've ever seen on cruise ships. Overall, I really felt like I was the target age for the entertainment. Not sure if it was that particular ship, the whole Edge class or just because the cruise was shorter, but if you're looking at maybe trying Celebrity I recommend checking out the activity schedule for the Edge class. That's what I've heard about the edge class as well, although not been on edge class yet. The marketing material seems aimed at younger people as well. My trouble is that I'm mostly interested at longer and more interesting trips these days, and those tend to skew older. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyourmark Posted March 14 #327 Share Posted March 14 We're going on the next cruise (TA), and the App shows Beyond The Podium presenters as Patti D'beck and David Leong. Two seminars posted so far: Day 4:The Biggest Musical Theater Hits Day 7: The Golden Age of Hollywood Movies Are they the same presenters you have now ? .

I'm pretty agreeable to whatever brand of sparkling wine is presented to me. The only one I've not enjoyed is the one MSC sells for room delivery. Cunard’s Pol Acker is widely derided, and I certainly wouldn’t pay money for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s another thing if we ever sail together. You can have mine, though last time they wisely didn’t give me any. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted March 14 Author #335 Share Posted March 14 Wish I could have held out on breakfast as it is now already lunch time. Heading back to grab my mom and then heading to the dining room for some lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted March 14 Author #338 Share Posted March 14 (edited) They shrunk them down but they were still very good. Nice flavor and a little kick of heat. Very tasty.

Rare jam19872016 Posted March 14 Author #339 Share Posted March 14 I really enjoyed the sandwich and so did my mom although she was not a fan of the pesto. The spaghetti was just OK. I enjoy more sauce and this was not sauced very well. The bread was unremarkable but I still enjoyed the pasta overall. Chocolate mousse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted March 14 Author #340 Share Posted March 14 I almost skipped the mousse but glad I did not. Simply Devine. My mom wants to hit up al bacio and I know I don't have the will power to not grab something else while there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't buy allot of sweets or breads!! my DH had a sweet tooth, so always had something fattening to pick on. Since he's been gone I've lost 20 pounds!!

sasset Posted March 14 #344 Share Posted March 14 Other than the usual Pool and Party bands is there any after diner music in the lounges? I'm thinking back to when we used to see Ray Brown Jr. on the Silhouette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like pesto sauce, which they don't offer at the 'made-to-order" pasta bar. I ask for it on the first day, and they bring it up from the dining room's kitchen, to have it available at the buffet for the rest of the cruise. Penne with pesto sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and kalamata olives makes a tasty lunch for me on Celebrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would like it on my pasts since I like a lot of sauce but I enjoyed it on my sammich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once in a while you get a new crew member who needs to be coached on what pesto is in the first place.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Edge class I would picture being a similar experience, especially since most are 7 day cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
