The two I was contemplating are both through Carnival at the Blu resort.Both 4 hrs long for $99.00. I watched you tube videos but also like to hear personal accounts.

We are looking at excursions in Cozumel and I am intrigued on the mixology vs cooking class. Any recent experience with these excursions?

Dinner was great!  Rudi’s has been exceptional at all 3 ships we’ve dined there.  I had the tuna with kimchi sauce and watermelon, the Ciaopinno and the broiled lobster tails (which were huge!). Finished with bread pudding.  

 

 

 

 

 

How did you like Rudi’s compared to Fahrenheit? Trying to decide on which specialty restaurant we want to do.

I am not in favor. I chose Celebrity expressly due to less children and the adults only section. If I want to swim with kids I’ll go to the main pool.Adults only is adults only. 

Hello. Can anyone confirm the hard cider offerings and the price onboard Celebrity currently? I am trying to decide on which beverage package to purchase. Bonus points for which bar. Thanks.

I’m under the conference center next trip on Jubilee. I hope it’s not heavily used.

Also on YouTube with a Nauticruiser

Isn’t that the glitter bomb?

So with all the drinks you have tasted, any favorites? I mean, I think we know the favorite bar…..

In case you were wondering if they kept that conference room for this ship…yep.

 

 

Hoping it’s sparingly used and quiet. My cabin is below that.

While I’m about to go to sleep here I thought of something. You know how Stewart hasn’t even put the tissue box in the dispenser?  It reminds me of Princess. I always have nasal spray next to my bed. It doesn’t matter if I have a cold

or not. In the event that I’m  not 100% clear, I want it there so I can take a hit to sleep. It’s always there. Well on Princess Stewart put a box of Kleenex next to my nasal spray. I didn’t need it, but it’s one of those little things that I noticed. I haven’t seen anyone do that before.

 

 

The service on Princess was the best very attentive and the food. Yum.

It didn't seem as different as you would think. The average age is probably higher. I would say fewer 20's and more 30's-40's. There were kids. Actually my biggest issue with it was other than the kids clubs (on Regal at least), they didn't have any place for the kids to go so they ended up in the middle of lido...making the fountain into a splash park. But no water slides, no arcade. Mini golf was really a putting green. Basketball courts were set up for pickle ball 24/7. That's my biggest issue with Princess. But overall it was nice. It felt like a Carnival Journey cruise because a lot of the activities they had would only be on a Journey cruise with Carnival. And it was just a run of the mill western Caribbean cruise.

We just did Regal and timed it well. It was during the frigid cold snap that Houston had second week of January. Very few kids onboard. Broad range of passengers, early 20’s on up. Our adult children closed down the hot tubs every night on Serenity. The ship seems to shut down by eleven but I didn’t mind since I had the drink package…😴😴😴. I liked the laid back vibe and the Medallion was nice. Super cool to order on the app and have it brought to you.

I screen shot as well in case of tech issues. I do print the luggage tags but that is it.

I too am looking forward to seeing the menu from Chefs Table. Definitely thinking about doing this for our anniversary. Thanks for the review!

How do you book the Pier 25 lot?

We boarded on 1/14. We had a mix of blue and green line and lined up at 1015. The message board stated they started boarding at 1015 according to someone doing a BRB. 10 minutes total. Easy peasy.

I already wear seabands and an apple watch so not sure if I have room for a bracelet, although I really like them.  Going on a 7 night cruise and if we like it another 7 night for next year so don't want to spend alot.   Might just go with the necklace and switch to a lanyard when off the ship.  

I went unconventional and ordered Apple ID tag holders off of Amazon. I attached to a spiral ponytail holder to use as a wrist band. I hate lanyards around my next. My daughter purchased an Apple ID holder like the ones onboard for a fraction of the price. They also have holders that you can slide onto existing watch band. Good luck.

After getting back on the ship we had deck pizza. The deck place does make gluten free pizza, but you have to ask and it takes some time. Not sure what the wait today was bc my sister who stayed on ordered it for me and had it waiting when I got on (thank you @kruisin_kt if you are reading❤️). The pizza was very good imo, but the whole thing is strange to me. At Alfredo’s last night, it was very obviously a premade crust (and not a very good one). So I expected that they have switched to this fleet wide, but no they still have what appears to be house baked gluten free dough at the deck place. As you can see in the picture, it was very small though. On Ruby last year it was much larger/roughly a normal “Small” pizza size. I found this pizza to be much better than Alfredo’s though interestingly. I plan to get it again tomorrow probably so I will see if it’s always that small

I look forward to your GF observations. I generally just go without since mist GF substations are not that great.

How did they accommodate your GF at Sabatini’s? And have you tried the GF pizza yet?

Didn’t take pics but I had a fun time in the hot tub. Had a pineapple mojito, not sweet enough in my opinion, a Mai Tai, very good, and a Bahama Breeze, very good. Now eating a gluten free grilled cheese from room service before we head to our next activity of the scavenger hunt 

How was the GF bread? Tolerable? I seldom eat the GF bread anymore but it might be nice to have the option.

Should we use 25th Street for the Express lot? (coming from Seawall Blvd)

I too am interested. We have tried various approaches and it is hit i

or miss.  We are lucky enough to live in driving distance.

Where was the charcuterie from?

Did Alfredo's for lunch while in port in Galveston.  Food was very good and the place was empty.  Thanks for the tip from a previous live report. 
 

Do they waive the Alfredo’s charge on the first day?

I too am interested..

Good to hear! I was not happy to hear he would be going to Jubilee, but I guess that was just speculation.

Cookie is going to Mardi Gras and sticking around until Feb 2024
