No. I was too busy enjoying myself to waste time complaining.

🎯 our steward was lazy and she was absentee the entire voyage.

That was me. We were three, and our cabin attendant refused to put the bed back to a sofa, or show us how to do it ourselves. it could definitely have been done we found out later, but our steward was lazy and not very helpful. The L at the end was just a loveseat type thing with a thin, fairly useless and barely there mattress pad cover. The person sleeping on it was very uncomfortable. Would not recommend for a third.

I don’t really find it funny. I assume you’re speaking to what I said about my husband and his practice partners. I don’t think they’re afraid, I think they’re realistic. There are quite a few differences between cruising on a cruise ship and working in a medical office. I think this convo has run its course.

Sounds like it should be a team of 15 people with one being the Explainer = you 😂

What’s a grog walk?

Social distancing was entirely possible by choosing what venues to go to fior shows and events. We did none. Because my family is in the medical field, they are experts at it. It kept us all alive, while they were working in medicine during a Pandemic in NYC. Our lives depended on it, Maybe that’s why I’m more critical. Watching the sloppy pouring of champagne for guests into their used glasses on day 1 set the tone and lowered any expectations or notions we had. The last we had cruised, protocols were still in place, Getting sat with a sick person at Gunbae who coughed all over us, the crew member and our food was avoidable. I knew nothing anbour Gunbae prior to going. Had I known, I would have skipped it entirely. All three of us getting the flu after most likely wouldn’t have happened had we not gone there and ate communally in a booth with a fairly tight seating arrangement. I was more or less commenting that the industry could do more to continue the efforts they made after finally being allowed to open up after Covid, and make attempts to mitigate the chances of getting sick by continuing their level of cleaning and sanitizing, but from what we saw, they’re not,. And not filling sanitizing stations or soap was extremely disappointing. That should never happen. My family is keenly aware of the dangers and risks. I will add that my husband would never do a cruise if it were not for me. Nor would any of his associates. I guess we’ll see in July how Celebrity is handling things. As for the 🍍 people, to each his own but I think it’s gross.

The Galley (food court area on Deck 15) has daily dinner specials. They’re listed on a daily goings on paper you can get in the coffee shop on Deck 7. We didn’t know about the paper or the specials until day four. One night they had really good grilled Greek chicken, yellow rice, tzatziki, feta. We got salads made too, and honestly that was our best meal on the cruise, it was really really good. We took it to the Dockouse outside seating area and got a bottle of rosé. Nice evening. The specials will be at the Dine and Dash counter.

A group of cool, talented people who do different things on the ship. Like magicians, musicians, singers, artists. At least, I think that’s what it is. I never saw one though.

The drinking game was really annoying to me, it took too long to get to the eating part. It was also very loud in there. Personally, I would not go back because I felt the food was just ok, nothing special. The drinking game, sitting with a couple who were reallllllly into it, and the crew member sitting at our table being a cheerleader/gameshow host was just weird to me. I’m not a dud but I’m just not into that kind of fun. Maybe watch some videos of it on YouTube. Also, there was never a night on our sailing that Gunbae didn’t have reservations for almost every time slot available.

Same. I agree completely. Celebrity went downhill, food is meh and it’s a snoozefest at night. It used to be great. We were on Millennium Nov 2022 and the food situation was atrocious. Hoping it’s improved some since there was a lot of negative feedback happening right after. We were told our sailing was a test to see if reducing the buffet to literally nothing would fly. I hope it’s better in July on the Eclipse but not expecting much. Especially since we’re only paying $1,283 for two! That’s ridiculous pricing. You’ve made me want to try NCL. 😊 thanks

It was the one by the Wake!

As a side note, you couldn’t give me the keys and deed to Necker Island to sit in the hot tubs or pool. We saw the woman and her companion in the cabin next to us, with an upside-down 🍍 on their cabin door, making lots of friends in the hot tub and they had quite a few late night guests back to their cabin. 🤮

I saw absolutely zero cleaning being done. And I was looking for it. Yes, hand sanitizer stations were empty on ours too. And several of the restrooms were out of SOAP.

I’m not really speaking about Covid. I’m talking illness in general. We are fully vaxed for Covid, got it. We got the flu shot, all got the flu. We wore masks for two weeks at work before the trip, masks on the plane, masks in San Juan…get on the ship…boom. My husband and son are physicians so we take all the precautions and still got ill. I just think seeing crew members sanitizing, with hand sanitizer stations everywhere, using app instead of menus that everyone touches, not encouraging crowded sweaty drunk people to gather in small spaces…may have been small steps and some for show - but helped a bit to curb infection. They went whole-hog back to 2019. Why even do the health questionnaire prior to boarding, it’s just for show. I don’t know what I’m really saying here, I guess 😂 I’m still cruising again.
