  1. What is the flavor of 43? Vanilla and...? My fav liquer is Sabra.. orange flavor israeli..not usually on ships and specialty order where we live. I also like Baileys, Tia Maria and Amaretta..not sure what is in which level of drink package anymore! Just order what we like, if available. Nit much of a drinker but these are my go tos
  2. I learned that Q sine, if it is in place, is only for Le Petit Chef..I started a sep thread. Sad to see Q sine ( the original) gone!
  3. Jim You did it again! Celeb owes you.! After enjoying this review, we just booked APEX for a short cruise in 2025..rt Pt Ev . It stops at KW so I will be re -reading your KW posts.. also stops at Gr Cayman but we usually stay on board there..spa day! There was a sale of sorts on the 2nd person and we chose a Sunset Veranda, deck 9. This will be our 2nd SV and first time on APEX. ( Retreat & AQ Class were quite a bit more $, and Concierge had lower prices) ****** Just a tip for others thinking abt it... on APEX ,there are regular veranda cabins on deck 8 and 9.. one on 8 has no obstruction, others 25% to 50% obs.
  4. thought this would be the answer.sorry it did not survive.. Q sine had a great menu, best beef on the ship, creative desserts..fresh concept of meal service, order from i pads, definitely cool..great for small groups or even just two of us! glad we had the experience! sorry to say, we have no interest in a projected cartoon across our plates with fixed menus and group dining. in our opinion not the same level of creative culinary genius that went into Q sine!
  5. lots of info about Le P Chef on the boards..but does X still have the Q sine restaurant on any ships? we loved it!
  6. Do they still have Q sine on any of the ships.. ? It is listed under specialty dining but we have not heard if it still exists??? We really enjoyed it a few times. It was a small venue with whimsical decor(like Alice in Winderland,), an ecceltic tasting type menu and some of the best food and service on Celebrity! At some point they may have tried the animation there .. We would have skipped that but loved Q sine.
  7. dh loved it.. cigar smokers are now relegated to chairs along the bocce ct..S class.. QM 2 has a great cigar bar..loved it b/ c dh could be in there ..glass enclosed.. and I could sit just outside enjoying my Baileys..smoke free
  8. you can also all book a specialty restaurant for a nice dinner together
  9. Agree..it is a very noisy game. They had to move the courts at our winter place so folks could enjoying sitting out at the pool area..The ball strike sound is sooo irritating! i think they should find an interior basement location..like where bowling would be located
  10. it would be a real appetite killer for us!
  11. great EDEN review.. thanks for posting the pics and info. We are looking forward to trying it on Ascent..now that the menu is more our taste. Love the shirts...very tropical!
  12. I always pre book for best the best time and discount.. but nothing offered yet for Ascent 2024. Have to keep checking
  13. we have enjoyed the spa treatments on E class ships.. diff entity than Canyon Ranch. CR was disappointing on other ships and we did not like the products as much as Elemis..but they had nice workout clothes for sale
  14. does not appeal to us..cartoons not our thing..maybe fun for kids We would prefer a great lunch at the Bistro Cafe...great food, wine, service and view on E class..Dine at your own pace.. guess its whatever you prefer
  15. great review of APEX. family cruise. my posted comments were dusplayed in red and are under review duh..no idea why.. i will retype later!
  16. one of the best Reviews ever.. Refreshing style and the enjoyment you experienced really came through! Hope moderators recognize this review as a top 10!..Not just for families You went to some of our fav Islands and we will be taking that Nevis excursion on ASCENT.. agree 100% about the stores...very few basic needs are available ( in the liquor store?) and almost nothing good for kids. We got our grandsons the ship.model but not much else is offered in E Class. hope you'll book another!
  17. interesting.. we have not been on the ECLIPSE. has she been updated? we will look into that for Bermuds
  18. Celebrity excels at soups...hot and cold. We used to have our lunch at Bistro on 5 almost daily . Dh enjoyed chatting with the chef from Jamaica. He shared a recipe for cream of celery root soup (pared down quantity). It was easy... Dh served it for Thanksgiving that year. .Our guests took seconds and thirds & were slurping up soup from their bowls. It was a big hit! we miss the "Celebrity dressing." sometimes you can get it on request!
  19. we are hopeful the flower option will come back.. . The springtime arrangement shown is a perfect size for the niche in IV cabins ( Ascent)... esp with the drab Hoppen decor! Do Cap Club members still get a tiny vase with flowers?? we will call... we also have had no luck still with spa apprs or kerastase
  20. wow.. now I know what to order in EDEN! dh will love the Crab Cakes
  21. photos are all great..we love the beauitiful houses and the less commercial areas...looks like you had a top 10 day!
