When I go to the Ala Moana shopping center, I love getting a roasted pork Mana Pua, which is very similar to a bao bun. Thanks for taking us on your Honolulu journey!

WOW! That was a fantastic video! You should get commission from Celebrity - everyone is going to want to experience this! -

My upcoming cruise on the Apex in the Norwegian Fjords in August has disappeared. Maybe it's sold out?? -

I just heard a presentation from our company lawyers about AI - we were warned that whatever is generated by AI (including ChatGPT) is not copyrightable. The AI company owns it. I found that very interesting! -
Excellent photos, Jim! They look like they were taken by a food stylist!

Reasonable deals on Ascent Sky Suites - 11/17, 12/1 and 12/15/24
JackE replied to mac_tlc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just switched my Sky Suite reservation on December 1 from a 6 day sailing on Reflection to a 7 day sailing on Ascent for a lower price! They made us pay the change fee of $100 each, but it's still lower than the Reflection sailing. Thanks for the heads up! -
Virgin curious? Celebrity sailor tries a new cruise line
JackE replied to JackE's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Yes, typical. I believe on every sailing there's a PJ party, Scarlet Night, dance parties, etc. But it's one of those things that you can participate or not, up to the individual. We didn't do the PJ party, but we did do the trivia sessions, Bingo and a speed jigsaw puzzle contest. So there's something for everyone, and there's no looking down on whatever events you want to do. -

We're heading to Norway and the Fjords as well! Very much looking forward to it. We have different ports than you, but after doing the Scandinavia/Baltic cruise two summers ago, we're very excited to see the Norwegian coast. If it's open, you must go to the Rooftop Garden Grill (it was closed for our Baltic sailing). Enjoy your cruise! -

As long as your aunt has an open mind, you all might enjoy VV! Enjoy your cruising! Where are you going this summer with Celebrity? -

JackE replied to JackE's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Wow, so sorry to hear about your experience. It just confirms that while the "bones" of the ships may be the same, it's all about the personnel: the chefs, the restaurant and reservations managers, room stewards, etc. I agree that the reservation system is terrible, and for those of us who are planners, and want to get the most out of our cruise, the way VV runs the dining times is just not good enough. But to hear that your food was not properly presented, is inexcusable. And having to endure bad restaurant experiences over 12 nights must have been very disappointing. We're back on Celebrity this August on the Apex (a return to our first E Class ship), and we are looking forward to it. I hope you have another cruise planned to make up for this bad experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. -
So it was 60ish and sunny on your walk? Perfect! Andrew my husband went to school out there and really wants us to go back for a visit. There's just no time between work, family visits and cruises! 🤪 Have a great time on your cruise!

JackE replied to mac_tlc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thanks for the heads up! We have the Reflection booked for the same week (Dec 1) and it's coming in at a much higher rate than the new rate on the Ascent when I just did a dummy booking. We sailed on the Ascent last November and loved being on the ship.
