Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes on Ascent 7-day in January. No on Summit 5-day in February.
  2. Just wondering if you were refunded the two $99 deposits?
  3. We have been on two cruises this year -- one in January and one in February. On both cruises, we were charged for items in the mini-bar which only appeared on our statement after returning home. $10.16 in one instance and $83.56 in the second. We NEVER use mini-bar items. I let the first one slide, but I called Celebrity about the $83. They said I would receive a credit to my CC -- in 30 to 60 business days!! I will definitely have them remove all items for our next cruise in April.
  4. Mer Soleil was available in January on the Ascent. Not sure of the cost.
  5. Mandinas on Canal Street Gris-Gris Bayona
  6. Booked SV for Jan 2026 cruise.
  7. We were in 6135 on the Ascent in January. "Snap, Crackle, Pop" was very annoying during the day, but made it very hard to sleep at night. After second night of limited sleep (hard mattress was also responsible), we went to Guest Relations. GR said they would send someone to look into the problem. To our extreme surprise, the noise was gone -- totally gone! I recommend going to GR with your complaint.
  8. Log-in to the X website and go to your current reservation. There should be a link on the lower right-hand side saying "View and Print your Documents." (The luggage tag is at the end of your cruise document.). Alternatively, you can click on "Manage my Reservation", "Before You Board", and you will see a link to print your luggage tags.
  9. It looks like you can pre-purchase bottled water now. You can purchase through the website's "Drink Packages" link. Twelve bottles of Agua Panna (doesn't say what size) is $33.99 (regular price is $43.99).
  10. I am so glad to see this being addressed. We were on the Ascent earlier this month. The mattress was very hard. I mentioned to the cabin steward and requested a topper. Later that day I noticed that he had placed a thin mattress cover on the bed. Still very hard. After two nights of tossing and turning most of the night, I mentioned to Guest Relations. That night there was a 1" topper on the bed. Still hard, but at least I could sleep. I've been on 30+ cruises, mostly on Celebrity, and have found this issue on my last couple of cruises. If Celebrity is reading, they NEED to provide toppers when requested. At 3 in the morning I found myself asking why I was spending hundreds of $$s a day when I couldn't get a decent nights sleep!
  11. We were on the Jan 14 - 21 cruise on the Ascent. On the last sea day, there was a seafood buffet. They had heaps of boiled shrimp, crawfish and ceviche in coconut "cups". I did not see any other seafood, but I did not look through all of the offerings. It was supposed to open at noon, but the ropes were pulled around 11:45 am.
  12. We did Eden and Fine Cut on our recent cruise on Ascent. Although expensive (I believe, $80 pp (20% discount first night)), we really enjoyed Eden. Service, ambiance and food were excellent. We were disappointed in Fine Cut ($65 pp, I think). I ordered a Tomahawk ribeye medium-rare. The steak came out medium-medium well (less than 1" thick). Was replaced with rare -. I didn't want to send back again, so I just ate around the most raw parts. DH's bone-in filet was tasty but unevenly cooked. Decor was great, service okay - not worth the money in our opinion.
  13.

  14. BTW - the tipping percentage for individual drinks is now 20%. It is including on the slip they give you to sign.
