Cruise a holic

The laundry is fine- we get some free laundry- we never give anything "special" to the ship for laundry. Just underwear, tee shirts, socks and pj's. Swim suits we hand wash. Have used the dry cleaning for good items without any problem. We also try to bring enough clothes for the week or two. Would rather pay for extra luggage then have any problems regarding lack of clothes for the cruise.

Have a wonderful cruise! A free cruise in a grand suite! Lucky you.

My DH and I are hooked on the Crown loft suites. Not sure if the Aqua theatre suite has two bathrooms- that is great for us as we can get dressed and ready at the same time. Also as previously stated the location is the best. Definately not the owners suite.

Recently off the Icon of the Seas- huge ship- expensive and it appeared full. The rich are getting richer and will continue to pay the crazy high rates- I do not believe that the fares will come down.The cabins on the new ships seem smaller. Just lots more glitz.

If you and the person you sail with is also a D+ member each get a bag of laundry per cruise

Hibachi. We didn’t order any additional items

That’s what makes the world go round! I like Starbucks other members of my family enjoy dunkin. Actually In New Orleans I liked the chickary coffees

Honestly, if you are a true coffee geek- no coffee will be as good as the one you make at home with your machine. Cafe Al Bacio is the best choice. I get a cup with an extra shot every morning. But the machine doesn't make it the way I like- perhaps it is the beans or something else. Not sure. However it surely isn't a deal breaker and I enjoy it- On Royal, you can (for a fee) go to the starbucks kiosk and get better coffee- but no option for starbucks on celebrity.

Typically, mid cruise they have a laundry special- a flat fee for a bag of laundry. Ask your cabin attendant for details. If you are diamond or above, you get some free laundry service. Enjoy your cruise.

We were on the Icon of the Seas in March. They charged us an addition $15 pp for dining a Izumi. Never happened on any other Oasis class ship. To make matters worse- I must have gotten food poisoning as a few hours after we left- I got sick. I will remove Izumi from my list of specialty restaurants to dine in. I ate a combo- steak and seafood- my DH was ok- he only at steak.

The suite sun deck is on the opposite side of the ship. We walk outside across the deck then go up one flight of steps to enter the suite sun deck. The suite lounge and coastal kitchen are on deck 17 near the CLS.

Try a move up bid for a upgrade to a suite. You might have luck and get a room that works better for you. Of course, it will cost more.

I agree with those who say change your stateroom In many cases, except for holiday periods, many balcony stateroom options should be available.

We really enjoyed hairspray. Mama Mia was very good- as was grease- Anything but CATs.
