Does she still do the patti labelle and Michael McDonald song “ on my own”. We saw her on our solstice cruise years ago. Her show was so good we went to the 2nd one that night.

Wow! That looks like a wonderful itinerary. Have a great cruise!

We were on the encore inaugural TA and loved the observation lounge. These two ships are defiantly on my list when we cruise Alaska. However, want to see glacier bay. Will you have the jersey boys show?

Wow. As much as I don’t like Newark, that drive to jfk. Well I’d rather have a hit poker in my eye.

Have you seen the aqua 80 show? If not, you are in for a treat. By far the best (hiro close 2nd) aqua theatre show. Have a wonderful cruise 😊

Do you have nightstands? Looks pretty tight. Reminds me of our ocean view on the majesty of the seas years ago

Is this terminal b in Newark?

I’ve read many of these terrific reviews. I think it’s great that the husband continues to travel. Hope he has some comfort in all the wonderful memories.

We have cruised celebrity as recent as an edge cruise last September. We are diamond plus but always buy the drink package anyway. The bogo is good but wouldn’t stop us from stepping out. our favorite rccl class of ship is oasis but we also like the edge class now as well I think you will find celebrity a nice change.

Thank you for giving us another live review. Have to ask your favorite cruise line. I see you kind of bounce between rccl and ncl. Do you have a favorite? have a great cruise. Alaska is on our long cruise bucket list 😊

Wow! I was reading this post at the same time hearing this on the news. So very sorry for your loss.

My favorite prior to cruising on oasis this year was hiro from the symphony. Loved aqua 80 😊

I don’t want to have to use the app. I want a paper compass and to book my shows pre cruise online. 😊

Princess and ncl appear to have the best itineraries but old ships (matters to me). I saw a good one on HA niew stadendam for next year but from Copenhagen.

We usually stay pre cruise at the Renaissance but I have Hilton points I want to use for our 1/7/2023 harmony cruise. Hoping you can share that you had a great experience.

One thing we learned after hearing similar stories is to crosspack. We do it every trip

This is one of the reasons we love the edge class - the track. Perfect celebrity ship for us would be track from edge class, Eden edge class, pool edge class, sunset bar edge class, martini bar solstice class and sky lounge solstice class Looking at how we can get on the beyond soon

We would love to be pinnacle but celebrity got in the way. We were actually more excited to become diamond than diamond plus but things were different back then. I think there was one cruise where we got into the concierge lounge then the rules were changed. We have bought the drink packages for the last few years.

Thank you for posting your cruise review and pictures. I am looking at the same itinerary for next august/September. Greek islands have been on my bucket list for a while now.

Same with fauci. They got the rebound after taking paxlovid

Thank you for doing this live review. It sounds like a terrific itinerary. Is your cruise sold out ?

Wow looks amazing You could do very well in nj as this is the new in thing to offer food wise. new restrictions ? Have I missed something? They haven’t messed with removing the mask mandate have they? safe travels and of course have to ask if you will post a review somewhere 😊

I haven’t posted on this thread a lot but wanted to share that most of the posts here brighten my day very much. People genuinely and sincerely happy and or concerned (depending on the situation) about others we know only through cc. It’s truly so very nice to see/read. Graham - your posts including food pics do a “Coventry” born girl good! Nothing like British food to me. 😊

I would agree that the area itself has made us rethink staying at the Renaissance in January and spending more to stay in the beach area. It’s a shame too as we loved to do our morning walk and then sit outside the bagel place and enjoy our pre-cruise coffee and tea.

I would agree and recommend you read the reviews on TripAdvisor. We usually stay at the Renaissance; which is just down the street. Lots of options within walking distance. We were hoping the Hilton marina would improve as I usually stay at hiltons for work. However, the reviews for the most part are disappointing.
