Castello Di Amarosa, Darioush, Far Niete, and Domaine Carneros. We may do some others. Still trying to decide. What was your favorite?

The land resorts we stayed at did not have kids running through the halls at night, though there were many more kids at the land resorts. I have run into hotels that do have this problem. I stay away from them. Kids running through the halls was more of a Royal experience, except for my last Celebrity cruise. If the 5 star resorts do not have this issue, why should we expect this on Celebrity?

I think that you have a point here. With some of the upcharge prices we could have just purchased several bottles and brought them on for the same price. We were in Asia and not familiar with the wines we saw (many nice Aussie wines). Not much time to taste and purchase... Our suitcases were already at the weight limit so we did not bring any with us this time ... Headed to Napa in a couple of months for wine tasting ...

We did Wonderland. I would say that this is also a one and done. If you have never seen a plate projection show or if you have kids LPC is fine. The food is better elsewhere on the ship.

Do they have Cabernets and Champagnes that are not on the printed wine list or app? I was never offered/recommended a different cabernet or champagne? Do you just ask? In Blu our sommelier was way too busy to have a conservation. In Tuscan there were only 3 tables seated at our time. Zero suggestions from Cellar Masters... Anyways I ended up spending over $300 and signing more than 20 slips with the premium package...

We had a helo evac on Millie for an Asia cruise. We watched the helo fly in and out from our balcony. We had calm seas and winds.

It covers martinis. But if you are a wine drinker you will likely be signing upcharge slips...

I thought that it was very rough. It rocked me to sleep like a baby! Best sleep ever!

I would if you like martinis...

DPVs are obstructed by 30% by design according to everything that I have seen. I would much rather have unobstructed. Call it what you will but it IS obstructed.

It was the 2016 Anthem. I went back and looked at past cruises.

He was not the captain on the preceding cruise... That was my point. People find this difficult to believe. We were on that one. People do have a short memory. It has been a while since I sailed Royal. I had to go back and look it up.

E class? Not many real balconies. Some itineraries are only E class 🙃

I did not say that. I cited one case where the captain made the national news multiple times for doing something stupid. Going right out into the middle of the storm, breaking glassware, flooding parts of the ship. tables moving all over the place and creating a PR nightmare for all cruise lines. I am sure that cruise line sales were down for several months afterwards. When he could have waited several hours and had a successful cruise without incidents. Perhaps he is the reason cruise ships try to navigate around the storms somewhat. Right at the start of the cruise he muffed it up and the cruise had to go back for repairs. Would you want the captain that screwed up the last cruise on your cruise? You had a difficult time believing that Royal removed him and put in another captain. Bad PR to have him sail on the ship? Yes definitely. For the Edge case they did not even make the national news, though they are not sailing into that area right now.
