Indisposed, hmm. Meaning they’re all eating lunch? 😉 I love Capt. Kafetzis, he has a great sense of humor.

Neither do we. Especially when one plans on living to at least 100. 😉

I can think of a couple of reasons why some people are cautious when approaching or exiting an escalator and they have nothing to do with where they are from. Some may have balance or mobility issues. Some may be wearing high heels and are careful because they don’t want to get their heel caught in one of the those moving metal grooves on the escalator.

Thanks for the laugh about the pillows! 😁 Our solution to the dreaded blinking light was to take a hand towel from the bathroom, fold it in half and cover the phone with it.

It has been the practice of X cruises to promote the Captain of their latest new build to their next new ship.

X announced Kate as the new Captain of Beyond a while ago. Simone Biles was also announced as Beyond's Godmother.

I agree about the production shows on the E-class ships!

That pretty much sums it up… 👍

I understand about booking for space. But as the prices are getting higher we've noticed the the service is declining.

Interesting. We got off the Apex a week ago. Never had that impression of the ship.

Ok, I admit I had to Google the Bronx & Banco…. Sure, wear whatever floats your boat, or ship in this case. 😁

Yes, Jennifer was our contact as well. Her initial email came on Oct. 24th. Fortunately we had few requests for her as I had already made all of our Specialty restaurant reservations online. The few items I did request for the Suite were delivered by our Butler shortly after we arrived on board. The only disappointment we had was even though I informed Jennifer when each of us would be celebrating our birthdays, mine was the only one that she remembered. It was definitely unfortunate that we missed each other on board. I hope we get the opportunity to sail together again in the near future. 🍷 It was definitely unfortunate that we missed each on board. I other meeting you as wellhope that we have the opportunity to sail together again soon I am sorry to hear that Jennifer did not provide the same service to you. I would definitely let Corporate know. Every guest should be given the same level of service.

We had a totally different experience and we were in the same “lowly” Suite category. 😊 Unfortunately not all employees provide the same excellent service. Did you express your disappointment to the Retreat Manager on board?

I agree. My favorite time of day is when I'm watching the Sunset.

That's what’s great about having choices. X offers a variety of different ships. We have no need to look elsewhere for “alternatives”. YMMV.

Lisa got where she is today through her due diligence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Lutoff-Perlo

We did indeed! Apex did not disappoint. Can't wait til our next cruise on Beyond. I am sure she will become our “new” favorite. 😉

Red wine contains a large number of antioxidants called polyphenols and is actually good to drink. Enjoy your half glass. 😊 🍷

What I find fascinating is that so many people (not referring to you 😊) rate their favorite ships by the number and “quality” of the Bars on board. This has been very illuminating. 🍷

Hope you have a wonderful cruise. Will be following along with great interest. Our next two cruises are booked on Beyond.

Vellamo, It’s a type of Spring Water, or Mineral water.

Not useless at all. 😊 They want to make sure that the people who will be personally delivering your luggage directly from the Terminal to your Suite have trolleys, if necessary, to carry all your luggage.

You could keep an open mind and wait to experience Luminae for yourself. 😉 We have been sailing in suites on X exclusively for many, many years and have never found service in Luminae to be overwhelmed or chaotic in any way.

We were on the same sailing, also in a Celebrity Suite, ate primarily in Luminae and agree with you about Luminae. 👍
