Celebrity removes loungers from balcony?
RumRunner01 replied to Salf777's topic in Celebrity Cruises
So did you have just chairs or those semi-reclining chairs? We are considering Silhouette for next spring in a Concierge sunset veranda cabin and we like to sit outside in our balcony a lot but not in an uncomfortable chair. -
Me neither. We sail on Sunday. Hours are dwindling especially since suites have been sold out for a while.

Yup. I’ve been had this happen multiple times over the last couple months as I try to plan for my upcoming cruise. I’ve changed my password about 7 or 8 times in that time period. It’s frustrating.

🙁Awww, I enjoy sitting outside to enjoy breakfast but sounds like that’s not an option on Wonder unless on our balcony. Are there any outdoor dining areas on Wonder? We sail April 21 and getting very excited to check her out.

Over the past couple months I’ve had to reset my password several times to get into the app. I knew my password was correct but it wouldn’t allow me access. Each time I changed my password I’d gain access but it might have been for a few hours it days, then change it again. I went a couple weeks without having to change password just to see the app logged me out overnight and again won’t accept my valid passsord…. Here I go again changing it again.

So I can hold out a little hope 😉

We put in a minimum bid on Wonder to move up from the JS we booked to a GS. Sailing is April 21 and put the bid in on Feb 21 and no word as of today (4/2). Bid status still shows “Submitted”. Continuing to cross our fingers.

Greatest number of pairs of shoes taken on a cruise.
RumRunner01 replied to Reina del Mar's topic in Cruise Fashions & Beauty
On my very first cruise I packed 11 pairs of shoes! These days, depending on length/itinerary, activities I have planned, and wardrobe selections, I pack 5-7 pairs of shoes. I like variety! -
First cruise from the West Coast
RumRunner01 replied to RedJessi's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I've done this itinerary many times and I think you'll really like the Catalina excursion you are considering. It's something very unique and you get to see different parts of the island. The main part can get very busy with tourists but still fun to walk around maybe after your excursion. Ensenada has really been working hard on improving their town and port area. It's MUCH nicer than it once was. I did the La Bufadora excursion once and it was ok, you see the blowhole (which is cool) and then you shop around at outdoor markets and stands. If it's hot, it's miserable, though. The bus ride feels very long and kind of makes the whole tour long and drug out. However, I would not discount hanging around the touristy parts of Ensenada for a few hours and shopping/eating/drinking around town. We had AMAZING smoked marlin tacos at the fish market, sometimes we saw them listed as "El Presidente" tacos on some menus. We still talk about those tacos. It's a type of taco found mainly on the west coast of Mexico, we have not seen them on the east/Caribbean part of Mexico. There will also sometimes be live entertainment like dancers near the port. I used to dread the Ensenada stop and not get off the ship but last time we ported there (October 2022) we got off and had one of the nicests days of the cruise (it was a 7-day Mex Riv and Ensenada was the last day). -
Might Wanna Pack Conditioner
RumRunner01 replied to SMMRLUVN's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Oooooo good to know. I haven't packed my own toiletries in ages and I NEED conditioner even when there is no salt water, sun or wind. LOL We are in a junior suite, though, so I need to see if that might come with it. And we usually said Celebrity and I think their balcony cabins had it. I'm glad I know to pack conditioner on RC, though... in addition to all the other darn hari stuff I need to keep the hair in line. LOL -
All Dining "sold out"
RumRunner01 replied to Island Beachdog's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I don't have a dining package but have been trying to book one or two specialty restaurants for our late April sailing. I've been checking for three weeks now and unable to find Izumi and Wonderland with any availability, they were listed but just showed "filled up" without ability to select dates. As of today, Wonderland doesn't even show on the Specialty Dining lineup and neither does Izumi Hibachi. Izumi (sushi) shows up but there is zero availability. I was able to snag a Chops for 8pm one night. Giovanni's shows up but no times available. Chef's Table even no longer shows up. Park 150 had some slots but that one doesn't really appeal to me. I'm really bummed that Wonderland doesn't even show up. We will try to check for Wonderland reservations as soon as we board, as well as for Izumi (sushi), but just disappointed. I really was looking forward to trying Wonderland. -
Hideaway beach... Never again..

All Dining "sold out"
RumRunner01 replied to Island Beachdog's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I was wondering the same thing. I don't have UDP, I was booking a couple individual restaurants. I was able to book Mason Jar for brunch on the last sea day but none of my other options, even our back ups were available. There were a few spots for things like Chef's Table and Hooked open, and Izumu for lunch the same day we are doing Mason but we didn't want any of those. Otherwise, everything "booked" as far as online says.
