50% off speciality dining while on ship still exists?
keesar replied to fstuff1's topic in Celebrity Cruises
There is no Lawn Club Grill on the Ascent. You are thinking of the Rooftop Garden Grill. -
You will get a paper in your room which indicates what and when for the special events for Elite. It is usually comprehensive.
-
We were told that the production shows have been the same since the ship launched. Check you app.
-
We have been on the Reflection several times and never have been able to order off the MDR menu for the night. They will help make reservations to dine in the MDR for those in Blu.

Would not chose the Beyond. Would go with any S-class ship in a heart beat.

Moving from Royal to Celebrity for the itinerary!
keesar replied to mwne2nks's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We first started on Royal and loved the ships and atmosphere. A big difference we noticed included a lower energy level on Celebrity. Less participants in dance parties and more late night activities. Shows tended to be much better on Royal. Celebrity does have better food and many fewer children on the ships. You will also find an older cruiser population on Celebrity. -

My experience post cover is that the restaurants have wait lists. No discounts available on the ship. The best discounts were pre-cruise and were in the 10% range. -
Last year on Beyond and this year on Ascent, we paid $50 for Eden. But we booked early. Eden was outstanding. We paid $55 for Fine Cut and were disappointed with the quality of the steaks and a couple of the side dishes. However, with the increase in prices, we will have to think more than twice. Probably not worth it for the new pricing.

Nothing beats gelato in a big waffle cone. I enjoyed the fruit flavors.
-
On the Beyond and Ascent, there were not only no discounts on the ship but there were wait lists. So book early and you will should get a pre-cruise discount as you mentioned.
-
It is hit or miss. One of us got the FREE waffle cone and the other did not. We went on different days.
-
There were plenty of seats available on our cruise on Beyond. I guess it appears on the particular week.
-
I got my gelato in a waffle cone the last two times and no charge. Must be the ship.

You beat me to it! 🤙 I was going to suggest having an activity room where she can sew and I can bring my router, saber saw and wood. But you must pass a field sobriety test before entering and using this equipment.
-
You are correct. 11:30 is the earliest time for Luggage Valet. Firm time.
-
Yes, and book next to the OP on Deck 8.
-
Maybe she can bring a generator on board.😀
-
Noise is an issue. If I hear that noise during the day when I was resting, I would call Guest Services.
-
I was able to negotiate a $25 meal in Tuscan on a slow night. Great atmosphere but so so food. Murano is definitely worth paying close to "list" price for the food and service. Nice place to celebrate a special occasion.

Don't want a sewing machine next door to me in a cabin. Trade in the sewing machine for a good novel. Don't be surprised to find the sewing machine on the naughty tables when leaving the ship.
-
We travel when school is not in session and there are very few children on Celebrity. I would check out other lines that are more tuned into catering for children.
-
Celebrity would not be my first choice with 5 children. Beyond is an adult oriented ship and the focus are adults. I don't expect your children will hate it but there is not much for them in terms of activities. I would look towards Royal Caribbean where everyone would have a great time.

We had prime rib on night 2. The Specialty Restaurants booked up really fast and there were wait lists.

Who cut the cheese………….……………. from the buffet
keesar replied to Jason26's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Same on Beyond. Plenty of cheese. All sizes and varieties. On one cruise, I saw no blue cheese. I actually asked for some from a staff member rather than writing to Cruise Critic. And guess what? Blue cheese was brought out. -
I love the cruisers who book suites for a couple of months each year. Especially with the hefty price increases. They helped raise the stock price to over $120 a share.
