I was recently on Ascent back to back and it’s interesting to read this post. I did not like the food in Luminae on most nights, our second leg of the cruise I think I ate there 2 times. I would not book a suite for the specialty restaurant. the cabins are very nice but without the butler it was not the same experience that we have had in the past. Now I hear they are bringing them back. i do not think the price they charge for suites is worth what you get. If I sail celebrity again I will sail in a sunset balcony (if available) on edge class. A veranda on all others. just my opinion. Shout out to all staff members though, they were wonderful.

Thank you all, upon investigating I believe I found the rooms you speak of. -

Thank you for this, talking to agent now, do you have any room numbers on 4 that are not obstructed by life boats and do not have steel balconies? I’m so sorry to ask, and this would be on Konsingdam. -

I am thinking of booking this cruise next year, have a question, don’t know if you are able to answer. all aft balconies are booked, I love a bigger balcony. It looks like from deck plans deck 4 has larger balconies, do you know if that is true? Also, are they obstructed from lifeboats? thank you if you are able to answer. -
Two Midwesterners escape winter on the Eurodam.
gizmodog replied to ottahand7's topic in Holland America Line
Are you in Neptune 5187? We are in this room in June, how is the room? Have they put any USB ports by the bed? We were in the Westerdam last year in the same location, there were no USB ports and very few electrical ports. would love your opinion on that room. -
Dining companions in Luminae? Non-retreat guests?
gizmodog replied to leisuretraveler223's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Believe me, the dinners in Luminae are not worth that amount for a guest. -
I just left the Ascent where I was in a sky suite and actually was standing outside my room listening to the lady in the next room (sky suite) berate the room attendant for not getting her room done earlier….yelling at him, it was so ridiculous and our room guy was so good, always happy and good at his job. i felt so bad for him. Trust me, being in a sky suite makes you no better then staying in an inside cabin. Although the room was very nice I guess I’m not one who uses all the other suite amenities.

Does anyone know what was done with her extensive dry dock. Did the bathrooms get shower doors or do they still have curtains.?
-
I would always ask where captain Dimitriis is and sail with him whenever I could, he makes the cruise so fun! never sailed with his brother, but wish I could.
-
The horrible toilet paper (I agree by the way) is there for a reason though this is specifically for their sewer system, it would not be wise to bring your own, worst ever though agree, but a definite reason.

Past Ascent cruisers: where did you have lunch embarkation day?
gizmodog replied to dleahy4444's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I could never pay that for lunch, prices in their specialties are so high. -
I don’t know what it means either
-
We always use to tip extra but no more since the tip has been added on already
-
Is the dress code in Luminae always smart casual like the specialty restaurants? Do they observe Chic night?

I did a move up and now possibly regretting it.

gizmodog replied to smeck's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thank you, I did do that actually, not easy there was one on 9 same category I called celebrity to ask, they told me they couldn’t help me I had to email the move up program, I did email them but by time they got back to me there were no more rooms. Even my TA called them and they told her the same thing. Not as easy as it use to be. -

gizmodog replied to smeck's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I won my bid from a sunset veranda and received a MC sky suite on 6🤬🤷♀️ I will make the most of it, do I have regrets? Kind of…..actually, in my haste to upgrade I never considered one of them. im hoping to enjoy the retreat and luminae, although I have been hearing such bad stories of the retreat area being so overcrowded. Keeping fingers crossed. -

gizmodog replied to ottahand7's topic in Holland America Line
We will be on Eurodam in June, so looking forward to your review -
I do wish you luck, I applaud you for trying but celebrity is a big corporation and I doubt you will win, although I wish you would. bait and switch might be the wrong term, maybe unethical to change their services to sky suites like this when so many people booked expecting more upgraded services. I too have a sky suite booked in January from last year and it’s upsetting to say the least that they have done this. I love cruising and received a good price on this suite or I too would have cancelled. We will see what the cruise is like and go from there. good luck!

Embarkation in Buenos Aires…Argentina cruise port.
gizmodog replied to tomcruiser1234's topic in South America
We hired a private driver and I’m sorry can’t remember his name so not much help but he was wonderful, there waiting. The boarding was fine, you have to ride a bus from the terminal to the cruise ship and being your luggage so don’t overpack. Are you doing Antartica? We did it last year, it was such an exciting experience, I just loved that cruise. -
Interested in want the ship could do about it in the middle of cruising?
