No budget to spread around and when it comes to variety of ships, entertainment and overall ship experience, Royal has won.

Casino is hopping. Celebrity filling their ships with gamblers like me 😆. Here for the show which got many warnings of not for the easily offended and adults only. I'm skeptical how raunchy it will be. Maybe I will see a vertically incorrect pineapple 🤔. Full crowd. Between here and casino, maybe the whole ship is still awake.

Singer was very good. Enjoyed the music selection. Only problem was it was a quiet cocktail lounge vibe and I had trouble hearing over any other noise. Even when they talked between songs, they whispered and were impossible to hear.

Someone told me on my last Celebrity review they have piano bar on Ascent. My absolute favorite and I always miss that on Celebrity. The four mdr concept really excites me. I'm not sure if I have any Celebrity cruises in my future as I sail on casino deals (and have stopped gambling) but the Edge class looks like something I would love to try.

Great start! Lady 🎶

I don't always follow the Celebrity board so I would love if you post a link here for me to find it! I love food heavy reviews 😋. I have not done edge class yet, I think I would love all the extra food choices. And maybe they would not be shut down by 9pm most nights.

Other than her pie, which was a special request that Roldan was able to accommodate, my mom did not care for her dinner and did not eat most of it. I tried her risotto and it was not good, even though I enjoyed portion. She does not want to go back tomorrow unless she loves the menu. As it would turn out, I even see an appetizer that I woild like to try tomorrow so I will be dining alone if she does the buffet 😆. My dinner was good, but nothing I ate was as good as it has been on other Celebrity ships, except the baked Alaska. The wait time was not worth it. People go crazy over lobster and it just overwhelmes the dining room on this night. The buffet was not a good alternative when I walked through, very poor looking choices. Tomorrow is Ireland night, which may be good if they duplicate the St. Patrick's buffet but I will still be doing the dining room.

Sorry I forgot all about dessert in my angst to find something going on. I don't think I've had the Pear before and was not sure I would care for it. It was lovely with a nice cinnamon flavor throughout. The ice cream on top was a perfect addition and I enjoyed it a lot. The baked Alaska was the best I've had in many many cruises. Very nice torched meringue flavor with a generous portion of cake and ice cream. I usually order two because all lines seem to be in competition to serve the thinnest slice of cake possible but this was a hefty portion, something I rarely say about Celebrity.

Sometimes they have pre recorded music playing in the foyer, figured that would work in a pinch. It was classical piano music. My goodness. Going to sit in Rendezvous for now, there is a duo playing at 10, I'm not sure they will be playing anything I care for but it is my only choice. This is definitely a classical cruise crowd. When the shows are on, nothing else is scheduled.

Even the junk food tasted better in Europe I found. The interstate rules apply because the FDA has no jurisdiction over food that does not cross a state line. It's not because of something staying fresh in transit.

Too late for the theater show, maybe I will try to catch the end of it. Tonight's music party is Latin. Pass. Tomorrow is karaoke. Wow.

Roldan gave the survey speech. He said 10 is the highest score, and 9.5 is the lowest. It's a shame he just disqualified himself.

From what I've read, because it is made with unpasteurized milk, it is not approved by the FDA. In some states it is allowed based on state law but never across state lines. I do recall seeing New York on the list of states with laws permitting it.

Apple pie with cheddar cheese for my mom 857. Baked Alaska and poached pear for me.

I enjoyed the beef. Very flavorful and the crust was not too soggy like I find a lot of times. The sides, however, were unremarkable. Small portion but I will go for extra dessert to make up for it 😆 Dessert menu.

Here we go Beef wellington 831.

This does not bode well for making the show. The problem is there is literally nothing else going on from 9-10. They are hustling but they are running behind tonight.

I don't really think any of their appetizer menus are appealing. Not at dinner at least. I've enjoyed most of them, but they aren't things I would normally care to order.

Not the biggest lobster fan, just got it because that's the thing to do. It had a nice flavor and the portion was decent for cruise ship lobster. The risotto is my favorite cruise ship risotto and this did not disappoint. I'm trying not to worry about the small portion, just means I might be able to get two desserts after all.

They pair nicely together.

Thanks 😊

Decided against the appetizer they just don't look appealing. Risotto and lobster tail 801.

Just over half hour for pager to go off. Chic night is probably a little busier. I think I am going to go for an app.

Sorry, risotto which you are correct is not a pasta. I'm delirious after not eating for nearly four hours.
