Smellytoes

Also the weather was perfect. We had the most gorgeous sunsets every night. The seas were like sailing on a lake

Well I’m on my way home in my crappy middle seat   I have to say I didn’t realize how much I needed that cruise. My husband passed away suddenly this year and it left me reeling. I find myself a young 57 yo widow. I never thought my life would turn out like this. This cruise gave me the peace that I was missing

The ship was wonderful. The service was great and most of the food was excellent   I look forward to hopefully do it again next year

Can you share how much is the cost for upgrade from Classic to Premium onboard? Can you purchase the upgrade for the days you need it? 

I only need Premium for 1 day of my 4 days on Summit so would like to upgrade for only 1 day instead of paying for the full duration. Thanks,

I forget how much I paid for the upgrade. I did it before we left. I have no idea if you can purchase it just for a day

Smellytoes;  looks like JetBlue changed the size of your aircraft;  maybe they had more people wanting to fly so they added the aircraft with a few more seats.  Middle Seats are not nice

It’s ok. As long as we get home safely is all that matters. It’s not a long flight  I just hate that I paid a higher price to pick my seat and I don’t get to pick my seat but JetBlue gets my money

I was on the Summit last December, first time on Celebrity, like you I've primarily sailed on NCL. The ship needed paint in some of the outdoor areas, rust in the floor of the basketball court, etc. Are you finding the same or have they been able to touch up a bit? I'll be back on her this December and hoping some of these things have been addressed. The solarium is and nearby sauna are big reasons I'll be returning for another relaxing short cruise.

 

Thanks for sharing your journey, but don't do so much that you forget to enjoy your cruise!

That’s unfortunate. Your waiter failed on multiple levels. The head waiter should have been alerted. 

There was some rust by the pool and on our balcony but it wasn’t bad

Dinner tonight is Tuscan Grille again. I’m all packed and sad that this trip is ending way too fast 

The Pats game is on the rooftop terrace and we are not losing!

Today started with JetBlue giving me a heartattack. They sent a text saying my flight was cancelled and they were looking for

other options and would get back to me later  It looks like they just changed our flight number and changed our seats that we paid extra for. I didn’t know they could do that. At least we are still on a flight home tomorrow even if it’s in crappy middle seats

Omg. It loaded. I’ve been trying to get on here all day and my internet kept getting cut off 

Last night was lobster with flank steak and baked Alaska for dessert. They brought back the blue cheese soufflé which was amazing

the show in the theatre was soundtrack and it was very good

After another beautiful day in Aruba I saw a show with 3 Motown singers. These guys were great! Then dinner in the mdr. I had corn fritters and some beef dish and neither one was on the menu. Again the food and service was excellent

Posts are coming through great.   BTW do you have the Basic or Premium Wifi.  

I only have the basic Wi-Fi and this site doesn’t always load. If you really need to stay connected upgrade to the premium. That works great. My daughter upgraded

Ouch!!  That's not good!  But I like your attitude in the face of that challenge.  I typically wouldnt report on the poor service to the manager either.  Sometimes those things happen.  Its not worth getting your panties in a bunch over, imo.  How did the waiter know when he apologized the next day, that you werent served your entree the night before?  

I have no idea how he knew but he seemed really scared. I felt bad for him

maybe time to move on with the review.. some of the " off menu" choices seem interesting!

 

We love Bonaire but have not snorkeled there.  Was the current strong,?  I am not a strong swimner..so we have hesitated 

 

Happy to hear about a healthy reef!

The current wasn’t strong but life vests were mandatory. They were very safety conscious

I could have done that but by the time I realized zed my food wasn’t coming I was exhausted so we left. That wasn’t the waiters fault. He did come up to us last night and profusely apologized. I reassured him that it wasn’t his fault that I was too tired to hang around. He really is a sweet kid doing the best he can

After snorkeling all day in Bonaire I skipped the show and just hung out at the rendezvous lounge then had dinner and went to bed. The mushroom tempura appetizer was great. The turkey dinner was ok

Another thing I want to mention most bartenders are allowing us to order two drinks at a time. So far only one said no

wow.. avoid that waiter!

hope you reported to maitre d

Lol. I would never do that  I could have spoken up but I was exhausted and not very hungry

I just spent today snorkeling in Bonaire and visiting Klein Bonaire. The snorkeling g was spectacular  the coral was healthy and loaded with fish. We also saw turtles. I highly recommend this excursion

We saw a show that was a comedian/impressionist  she wasn’t really funny but her impressions were very good

Last night we ran into our first service issue. The waiter brought my daughters food but forgot mine. By the time we could find the waiter my daughter was finished so we just walked out

Just wondering, if items are not on the menu - do they give you a paper menu in the restaurant, or does the waiter tell you additional items without your asking?  Thank you.  

They give you a paper menu that has more choices than what is shown in the app

On Equinox now and Sunmit is with us in Curacao today

I see you!

If anyone books the fun beach express sightseeing and snorkel bring water shoes. You are going to need them

Also if you book shore excursions check the time on your shore excursion ticket. When I booked the excursion was at 1:00 pm. When I read the ticket it had changed to 11 am. If I hadn’t really read the ticket I would have missed it

Yesterday was another beautiful day at the pool. The weather has been perfect this cruise. Saw the show ,Life, then dinner in the mdr. I ad a fried fish which was not on the menu on the app. It was very good. We had reservations at le petite chef but they changed the menu from when I booked so we cancelled
