Consider pickle juice. Straight (a few tablespoons) or in water. And/or eat pickles. I’m a cyclist and this works a charm for me.

Trinitygirl - wondered where you disappeared to! I hope you’ll love aqua on the next sailing. Blu is hopefully much calmer (that’s all I know as we always do aqua). I am so very not a buffet person but I do find celebrity buffet to be calmer and good selection. Re room storage… have you discovered the cabinets above the bed? I’m tall and they’re still awkward to use, but we always say there’s no storage then we remember that area. If you see silent disco, be sure to go. And, even if you’re not into martinis, hang out at least once near the martini bar for the great staff shows. Look forward to hearing how your sailings are.

Someone posted that they believe we are offered 4 categories above our current category, unless there are forward facing reserve class then it’s 5 categories.

On sapphire in October it had been turned into a video arcade.

Thanks, that’s helpful.

You know you can pause this &/or turn it off.

I just have a memory of getting an email with a discount code or something… guess I should just buy while it’s still available. Thanks.

If you’re loving the app delivery (well maybe not with how long your beer is taking- which might indicate they don’t actually have it?)… consider a grilled cheese, Cole slaw, and potato chips with fruit salad and caesar salad from the kids menu. It’s been a yummy meal when nothing else feels right.

I thought in the past I’d get an email offering say 10% or 20% discount on shore excursion bookings. Is this still offered? I’m elite so know I get the 10% back as OBC when on the ship, but wondering if I’m wasting time waiting for an email deal?

Chat works but I’ve def had hiccups using … either my iPad or phone. One works but not the other, so consider a different device.

I find the music always very weird, especially in the dining room. Enjoying a lovely formal night dinner listening to female warrior anthem songs. Never used Shazam so many times! I put a comment about the music in my reviews the last few times. Not that it’s bad music, it’s just repetitive and inappropriate for the place &/or time.

Press the privacy when you want privacy (press again to deselect), and on the other side there is a “make up room” indicator to press.

You can ask them to remove it.

Roped off for sail away party.

If you follow “Life well cruised” her and husband and adult son are on Rotterdam in CO for the first time and seem to be enjoying it. I do however try to keep CO a secret as too many people rushing for it will make it hard for me to book it when I want it!

Bam! That’s it, isn’t it?

I went here when the hours of sit down breakfast were too tight to enable fitness class plus food.

And those on Koningsdam might know what that is given our attempts to educate them on this drink (i.e. drink it every night). Thanks for helping the cause!

That’s why we never went back there. Too wildly smoky.

Re smoking HAL vs Celebrity. A negative of celebrity, at least on Eclipse & Solstice, is the walk/run track goes right through the smoking area of the Mast Bar which is bizarre. And, I think it’s the Sunset Bar, is “1/2 smoking”. We’ve never been able to use that bar as it all is smoky to us.

6049 is “ambulatory accessible”. I wondered about those unusual facing balconies! Thanks for the suggestions and caution re deck 8.

Thanks! Still waiting to hear from TA. Why don’t they drop everything to get me the best cabin (just kidding… hopefully tomorrow).

Ooh, observation deck… that’s an idea. Near the walking/running track, and crows nest (coffee!) and fitness centre. Great suggestions… thanks all!

CO - what are some favourite balcony cabins I should try to pick? I’ve done an aft view on Koningsdam and loved it. So that’s my preference. Any balcony cabin you’ve stayed in that was “the best”? Thanks!

Isn’t the tuna fantastic? And, every day the dining room is open for lunch, the catch of the day is served how your wife likes her salmon- medium rare, and hot. The Beechers Mac and cheese in CO is creamy, hot and yummy. Ordered it at lunch in main dining room and not worth having - not hot, not creamy, and dried out. Enjoy!
