Yes 12p-1:30p on sea days

Sorry I couldn’t be much help. I asked at the magic carpet and they didn’t have any. But to be honest they ran out of a few things so maybe they just werent stocked appropriately.

Right now on the retreat deck they don’t have white claw or high noon. I’m trying a strawberry guava topo Chico which I’ve never had but it’s good. I feel like I’ve seen black cherry white claw at another bar but I can’t remember but if I see anymore I’ll let you know. I’m sure they do.

No, not really. They were there but it wasn’t crazy. We encountered mostly adults. A few families on the beach of course but wide range of ages.

I’m sure it depends on the time of year and what ships in port but it wasn’t bad. We never had a problem getting a seat multiple times at the swim up bar. The pool is huge so I think they will feel fine/not overwhelmed. I never felt my personal space was close to being invaded

Chill island. We were going to snorkel and that’s the beach near the snorkel shack. Winds were too high and water was too dangerous to go further then a few feet out. Then we went to oasis lagoon pool for the swim up bar.

Good morning from the Beyond! Yesterday, we went to Coco Cay. I would do it again! Unfortunately the wind was very strong so water excursions were cancelled. But there is something for everyone on that island. I know there’s been a lot of hate on here about it but my husband and I just relaxed at the beach and pool, ate lunch and had cocktails and we’re back on board around noon. Relaxing time! We were there with Freedom of the Seas but it never felt crowded. Celebrity seems very interested in how their guests feel about this experience. The night before they left a bunch of goodies in our room and asked us to wear special wristbands for a “study”. Not too sure what they were trying to track honestly. Maybe what we did on the island? They gave us a baseball cap, water proof bag, spray mister and towel clips also. As my husband was in the bathroom before we got off the ship, I looked up and saw Laura Hodge Bethge and Captain Kate! Kate was kind enough to take a selfie with me. Of course my hubby was in the bathroom so all I got was a blurry selfie and I was too embarrassed to ask for another one 🤣 BTW she seems so much smaller in person! And she was very nice. I will do a review later, but so far it’s been a great cruise! Probably have only seen two kids and the retreat areas are lovely. Doesn’t feel too crowded around the ship either. For the first night we ate at Rooftop Garden Grille and last night was Eden. Eden was one of the best meals we have had in a awhile but we enjoyed both. Luminae is tonight! We are doing Luminae for breakfast and I’m going to attempt a F45 class! Have a great day!

What’s been your favorite restaurant so far? I have a couple specialty restaurants booked for my 4/22 sailing. I like variety and didn’t want to eat in Luminae every night so hope it’s worth the extra cost!

I’m sailing Beyond on 4/22 from FLL and app shows them 7:30 and 9:30.

Mine did the same thing. I haven’t updated my phone still so I can’t update the app. I just force closed the app and reopened and the message went away. But I have to do that everytime I leave the app or the message reappears.

Good morning, did you think Rooftop Garden grill was worth doing or do you prefer Luminae?

Surprises me they offer so many things. My friend does injections and you have to be a nurse practitioner to perform the procedure. I’m surprised they want to pay an NP salary. I can’t imagine that many people go on the ship and get Botox, etc but maybe I’m wrong.

I have not. I’m in a SS so I didn’t know if they would assist with any pre-boarding stuff but I’ll give it a shot! Thanks

I noticed that as well. I wanted to try raw on 5 one day for lunch I was going to ask about it once I was on board.

I’m interested in booking a specialty restaurant for dinner for the first night of my cruise on 4/22. I have a couple other specialty restaurants booked but last minute decided I want to book another. There is no availability in the app and ship appears to be full. Is there a chance I can get a reservation upon embarkation? We will be in retreat, is this something to concierge can assist with? I’m willing to be flexible with time. I just don’t know how likely it is to get reservations once on ship. But I assume they have to have some spots open for people with dining packages?

Good morning! How was Luminae yesterday? Also, where do you get the room service cards to hang on the door? Is that quicker then just calling? I am enjoying following along!

I reset my password and then the app worked. I was getting the oops message too.

I never got an email for my sky suite booking

I will be getting on when you will be disembarking! Can’t wait and will follow along

A 90 minute dining time is ok with me. I like to relax and enjoy my meal but any longer than that and I’ll be antsy. We also have Eden and Le Voyage booked. I was contemplating adding a third specialty restaurant, but figured we would utilize Luminae since we are able to. I like all different types of foods, and I can usually find some thing that will appeal to me. I guess I’m more concerned about the quality and how it’s prepared. I’ve seen some reports of food arriving cold or overcooked. I’ll make sure to warn my husband about the ribeye that’s not a traditional ribeye. Having to rush to grab a seat, kind of stresses me out and doesn’t feel vacation like, but I’m gonna go in with a positive attitude and I’m sure I’ll have a great time either way. In regards to the Butler, I have absolutely no idea what to expect since there’s been so many different experiences recently that I’ve read. But thankful for all of the tips I have received on here so I know sometimes you just have to ask her what you want! But I can totally see a first time cruiser not asking and feeling like the experience doesn’t really match was advertised? I am very excited for my trip and ordered some new outfits ! Lol

I’ll be on Beyond in a few weeks and have a few questions about Luminae. How long is a typical dinner service? I know you can arrive when you want but was wondering when the best time to go would be to see the show. How is the food? I looked at the menu and some of the dishes look interesting but as a foodie, I’ve kinda considered cruise meals as mediocre in the past. Do you think it’s up to par with specialty dining? Can you request a window seat or are those reserved for VIP? (we will be in a lowly sky suite lol)

So two different people on the same ship and one has a butler the other does not… I’m sorry I understand it will take a bit for staffing to be back to normal but that seems very unacceptable. They should get their staff together and roll it out at the same time. Just doesn’t seem right to me.

Is Raw on 5 open on embarkation day? I thought it was but then I saw some Celebrity Todays recently where it didn’t show it.

I would think jeans with nice shoes and a button down is considered smart casual but jeans with a tshirt and old sneakers seems a little dressed down.

How do reservations work for lunch at specialty restaurants? I want to try raw on 5 for lunch one day, but there’s no options to make reservations in the app, only dinner. Do you make them when you get on board or just show up and wait for table? Thanks
