On all my MSC cruises I went to the pool buffet on the first day and tell them I want an egg white omelette with jalapeños and feta every morning. They have always made sure that’s what I get. Tell them what you want and they will try their best to do it. By the way my best omelettes were on the Seascape with chef Joe at the One Pool.
-
I would still do that versus an OV that has a window that opens, cheaper and specialty restaurants with the money saved. I’ve done those IV and always feel like I’ve been ripped off and Celebrity knows it. Sailing Equinox in January in a true balcony.
-
Most ships do the same itineraries. I did the Constellation because it was going to Mardi Gras. But now they have shortened the time in NO so I won’t be doing that again. I also won’t pay for the faux balconies anymore on the Edge class. I would book an OV or Retreat (if it was a good deal).
-
Yes it is but whenever I went they were taken.
-
That and The World Class Bar. I sailed Edge and Apex only once because of not having a WCB. The Sunset Bar area on Beyond and Apex is perfect for sunsets but during the day the only shade is the smoking section.

What model of Reidel wine glass does Celebrity use
riredsox replied to NMTraveller's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Google Reidel Vinum. You can buy replacements. -
What model of Reidel wine glass does Celebrity use
riredsox replied to NMTraveller's topic in Celebrity Cruises
When you take the class you get the Vinum series. Bordeux, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and a Chardonnay. -
I have the ring and bracelet that matches your necklace! The necklace was sold out on my Beyond first US cruise (9 nighter).

For those who prefer S Class to E or M, tell me why.
riredsox replied to Koohiichan's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I prefer S class. It has actual balconies. Edge and Apex has no World Class Bar so I won’t sail them again and Beyond and Ascent while nice is also dark (less windows) and way too much gray and chrome. I will add the Ascent has two of the best Captains at sea, captain Tasos and Dimitrios! -
Captain Kate -- Collaboration with Dune Jewelry

They can’t seem to help themselves. Scroll on buy (SOB) is not in their vocabulary. -
There’s music playing in some venues on the ship every night. That might be a good place to meet people his age. I hope you all have a fantastic time!

I booked a cruise in the 90’s with a company called Single World. It was for people traveling solo but not necessarily single. We had a group leader we did excursions with and all dined together if we so chose too. One of the most fun cruises I’ve been on. My roommate and I got along wonderful as did our whole group.
-
If only they would add a World Class Bar. I sailed Edge and Apex just once because I missed the WCB. They have my favorite cocktails.
-
It would really be an enhanced experience if they gave us back the included tips and OBC that absolutely no one asked to have taken away. It angers me that they think we are that gullible to think people don’t want tips and OBC included when they are still paying the same if not more then before they took those away.

Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge
riredsox replied to TrueCruiseaholic's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity’s wine list has always been spectacular! They just don’t actually have any of the wines on said list! -
I don’t understand their up charges. Macallan Quest is $16 up charge and Highland Park 12yr is $17? The Quest sells for around $110 and the Highland Park $60. Makes no sense. Yacht Club would actually save money it they let us bring our own bottle onboard! Will be boarding Seascape in 2 weeks and no matter the liquor choice in YC I will have a fabulous cruise!
-
I bought some Macallan scotch and some Royal Salute scotch. I ran out of both so had to book another cruise. I had quite a bit of OBC.

Yacht Club - Where are your favorite MSC personnel?
riredsox replied to Best Cat Mom's topic in MSC Cruises
I was also on the Divina in late 2021. I also thought Arthur and Kulnal was an outstanding combo! -
You can’t always get reservations. On the Beyond they told me Eden and the steak restaurant were not available.
-
Simple solution is to just stop selling dining packages or let you make a reservation when you purchase them.
-
Then they shouldn’t sell these dining packages if you can’t make a reservation. If they let you make the reservation when you purchase the package that would be different.
-
When I asked for a refund they somehow found availability at the two restaurants they told me were booked solid. I don’t know why they sell these dining packages knowing full well half the restaurants will be sold out or you have to eat at 5. When we did go to the ‘sold out’ Eden there were at least 7 empty tables and we were there for 1 1/2 hrs.
-
If you get a dining package you can’t make reservations till you board. By then some restaurants have nothing available and some only 5:00 available. I don’t know why they do this but they do. I told them to cancel my 5 night package on a 9 night Beyond and then they called my room and they had miraculously found availability.

Thank you for this wonderful live report! I was on for the 12 night Mardi Gras in February and was pleasantly surprised how good the MDR was. Happy future sailing! -
