What does Celebrity serve for no extra charge at Hubbard Glacier?

I had heard that X served pea soup at the glacier for no extra charge...can anyone confirm this? ;)

YES,They Do

Sounds yummy! I will have to look for some when I sail on the Mercury next week! Wow - still finding out bits and pieces of info regarding my cruise...how cool is this board! ;)

Also sell hot chocolate in lovely Celebrity stainless steel mugs. I love mine - take it on all of my cruises for morning coffee/tea. Of course, you can get hot chocolate free at buffet. It's so nice to have after coming in from outside viewing of the glacier.

I always bring my own insulated mug for coffee in the morning. Beats the little cups they have. The morning of Hubbard, I filled it with (free) cocoa and watched other people pay $8-9 for their cup of cocoa. Don't be fooled and think it's free when they walk around offering it. On the other hand, you can buy the Celebrity insulated mug for a souvenir

We got the free pea soup on Constellation on a cruise to Saguenay in Quebec--it was in a bread bowl--Yummy! The overpriced hot chocolate they hawk was another matter!

MaryLou, yes it is good:) I know last summer when I sailed

to Alaska I was on deck 9. I had an inside cabin

that was aft so I didn't have far to walk to reach the Lido Deck (only one deck up)

Mercury has a wonderful area outside AFT of the Buffet and the

waiters are out there early (very early) serving hot soup.

The scenery is magnificant......

 

So, you leave on June 29th?:D I know you will have a wonderful

time!

You all have me really looking forward to our cruise on the Millennium next May.

They also offered free bean soup and hot chocolate while we were waiting on the dock at Sitka for the tenders.

 

This was the only port we were tendered in, and it took time to get everyone back to the mother ship. The line was a little long, but it wasn't cold and everyone behaved themselves. I didn't hear any complaints, which was nice. Although Celebrity cruisers are usually very polite.

 

At first you had to walk up to the tables, but then they went down the line with cups on platters and then came back to pick up the cups.

 

Good going Celebrity!

And here I thought this was a joke about it being foggy at the glacier....:rolleyes:

I now have something more to look forward to on our Sept cruise to Alaska

 

Thanks all for posting.

YES,They Do

 

Why pea soup? Not a complaint, I like pea soup. Just wondering why they picked pea soup of all things--is there some sort of tradition or meaning to this?

Hi Everyone !

 

I just hope its not Snow Cones :)

[Blazerboy]

Andy, with global warming, it'd be more like a "slushie.":D

Just of Summit today. No more pea soup --- must have been disturbing the hot chocolate sales! lol. I asked a crew member where it was and they said "soup.. no soup... chocolate soup for sale in mug, you want?"

Just off the Mercury Hubbard Glacier where they served pea soup in bread bowls. You'll find it in the Navigator Club - along with the best indoor views!
