We would choose Regent if $ were no object, but for us, the included excursions make sense for a port intensive cruise. We are booked on Grandeur next May (Greece, Israel and Turkey) but then we’re scheduled to try Oceania for a Panama Canal cruise.
Does anyone know when the spring/summer 2025 itineraries will be published? We’re thinking of booking Oceania Vista for a TA and then on to Southampton (5/1/25) but would like to compare Celebrity’s offerings before making the deposit. Thanks!
The Grand Hyatt is quite nice, with excellent service. If you have AmEx platinum or centurion card, the centurion lounge is lovely. Good food and drink, and a little spa.
I’m with @abbydancer and @Jim_Iain. The raspberry pistachio dessert was my favorite so I’m boycotting the new menu 😕. Well, at least until December when we’re back onboard.
We had this problem last year with a B2B. Our turnaround day was in Bilbao. We were assured by Regent and our TA that once on board we would be able to choose an excursion, just not available to preselect. Worked out fine, but I had a backup plan in case it didn’t.
Thanks for the photos @garyl62. We did indeed have the deep angled balcony on Silhouette. It was fabulous, but I dislike the bathroom. Thanks too @terrydtx for the info on the sky suite balcony. Seems like CS is a great choice on E class ships.
