5,000+ Club

5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. We were recently in a SS. There were 8 pairs in the closet and another couple pair left in a drawer. We left all of them and didn’t use any. They are very cheap and don’t fit well. Years ago we took 2 pair home. Our 8 year old granddaughter was wearing one pair at our house. We seen many little black pieces on our floor. It was the little knobbies on the sole of the slippers breaking off. You are not missing anything. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  2. This happens to the chairs at the bar and the tables at the side of the bar toward the Eden Cafe. There are also some seats as you enter Eden that people think are good but people will stand in front of you. Hard to explain but when you enter the area you will understand the areas I am referring to. There aren’t many good seats available for the amount of passengers in either venue. I would guess 50. 75 would be pushing it. Could be wrong but we were basically shut out of both because of the crowd. We got to both areas at least 30 minutes before showtime and all chairs were filled. We left as Iwe didn’t want to stand there for 30 minutes waiting for the show. Happy cruising. πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  3. All of my bookings have increased. Celebrity and other cruise lines are like the furniture, and appliance stores. There is always a sale. Sale doesn’t mean a lower price. It means their products or merchandise is available to purchase. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  4. Eden and the Club are terrible areas for any show. The Club is the worse. The sight lines are very bad unless you are in the front rows. Eden is almost as bad. Not many seats to watch the show. It gets to be standing room and depending on where you are sitting people will stand in front of you. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  5. Years ago we were at a RV show. There was 30 ft travel trailer that slept 16. I asked the salesperson what would you tow it with? He said any full size car or truck. I said what vehicle would carry 16 people? The sleeping arrangements were ridiculous. This pulled out, that pulled down. People were staked over and around each other. The person at the back would have to enter first and etc. if someone needed to get the the lav too bad. I think they would have to crawl and climb over to get there. Then think about all of the bedding, their clothing and the food. We had a converted custom van like many people did in the 70’s. They looked nice and seemed practical for traveling but one you put in the bedding, clothing and anything else there wasn’t much space left. Basically the outside at the camp ground was your living space. The van was your bed and means of transportation. It was rather awkward getting dressed but it was me, my wife, our 4 year old son, and 6 year old daughter. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  6. It would be better to get an inside cabin or outside cabin for two of them. It can’t be much more and would be a lot better. Just the closet space and bath arrangements would be worth any cost difference not to mention the sleeping arrangements of having a bed. Don’t be penny wise and dollar foolish. Lay out a 8 ft by 16 ft room and imagine 4 people in that area. Too crowded for me. Happy cruising πŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  7. There were times when I took the cushions off of the sofa and put them on the balcony. I would lay on them gazing at the stars and fall asleep. Very peaceful as I wasn’t kept awake from my wife’s snoring. 😱🀫. Just another option. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  8. I googled how much Celebrity Captains make out of curiosity. Captain Kate came up. It gave a range plus mentioned her earrings from social media. Doesn’t really say how much but I am sure it is worth her effort and self promotion. She is no dummy. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  9. Blu does not take or require reservations. First come first served. If you want you can also dine in any of the main dining rooms. I have never done that but I think some do. It is like any restaurant. If you get there 30 minutes after they open you may have to wait for a table to open. Get there when they open or about 1 hour or so later when the early birds are wrapping up. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  10. Sleep on the loungers on pool deck or in the Solarium. There is also a mezzanine off of the pool deck that has loungers and sofas that over looks the Solarium. The Solarium has padded loungers. If you decide to be by the pool you can star gaze and have a reserved lounger before the chair hogs get there. We were on the Beyond 2 weeks ago and walked thru the pool deck and all the loungers had something on them to β€œreserve” them at 6 am. Same in the Solarium. Eden also has some nice loungers on the second tier. Take some blankets and be good to go or use some towels. πŸ€—. There are also some couches available around the ship. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ The great thing amour sleeping in any of those places is the snoring of your traveling partners won’t bother you. πŸ€— Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  11. Don’t understand the corkage fee. We were on the Constellation last week in a SS and Decoy was included. It was also included in the premium pack when we were on the Beyond a few months ago. Get in touch with Guest Relations or better yet the host in the Retreat lounge. Something is fishy. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  12. We recently did a MSC in Yacht Club, and the Retreat on Celebrity. We booked 2 cruises on MSC and none on Celebrity. We have 2 more already booked on Celebrity but when done we may not book anymore. On Celebrity we did not see any butlers. The room attendant took their place. In the past the butler would see you walking down the hall and would open your door. See you carrying a drink and would carry it for you and insist on doing that. We would normally ask for coffee in the morning to be delivered to the cabin. It seemed to be more of a hassle and the one time we asked for it we felt as if we were annoying them. MSC provided the service that Celebrity use to. Celebrity needs to up their game instead making more cuts with higher prices. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  13. I purchased a future booking certificate and left it with Celebrity. I was told that I would have 30 days after booking a cruise to transfer it to a TA. WRONG. I booked a cruise and found a TA I wanted to transfer to. Used the transfer form and it was denied because it was beyond the 30 days of purchasing the certificate. The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. Typical with Celebrity. If I ever purchase another (doubt that I will as I just got off of a MSC cruise in the YC that puts Celebrity to shame), I will get it in writing signed by the Future Cruise salesperson.

  14. Let them enjoy themselves. How many adults are there at that time and sometimes the adults are worse than the children. I use to use those cess pools but no longer desire to. Got older and wiser. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
  15. I think it is the nature of some people to be miserable and complain. Eventually it is expected for them to be like that. The problem is when they are like that they are happy. If you gave them a twenty dollar bill they would complain if it was dirty, or wrinkled, or not enough. Happy cruising πŸŒŠπŸš’πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒ…
