![]() Please tell us more other champagne choices you discover at the various bars/lounges as the cruise progresses. I plan on watching your sailaway and day dream!!!!! I have to wait until Feb 5th to board EQ. The cookies and ice cream were just as delicious on day 2.īon Voyage I too will be following. They too were fabulous and the sausage reminded me more of a lil’ smokie than a hot dog. I decided to try a corn dog because I could tell they had been hand-battered. About the size of a tater tot, they were drenched in garlic-y goodness and baked to perfection. The pizza station had hand-rolled garlic knots that were absolutely out of this world. The Indian food was great and not so spicy like yesterday (except when I mistakenly ate one of the peppers in the Masala rice not realizing what it was until I’d swallowed it…oops). Oceanview was pretty packed when we arrived around 12:30, but it’s a sea day so I understand. The host mentioned that Sky Lounge was being used for a private event, but I found it even more enjoyable in the smaller space. We enjoyed well-attended morning trivia in Ensemble Lounge. ![]() I enjoyed an antioxidant smoothie and some lovely fruit topped with fresh mint at Spa Cafe. After a muggy morning walk, I enjoyed some time at al Bacio, which was practically a ghost town before 9 am (and I loved it!). The skies were clear and offered a good view. It was an especially hot and humid sunrise as we sailed along the Northern coast of Cuba. By the time we got to dinner, Blu had plenty of the Haslinger, so I was happy!Ĭookie update-I enjoyed oatmeal raisin and double chocolate cookies at both Oceanview and al Baccio. The bartender told me that they would have more Haslinger and Chandon once the new provisions were distributed to the bars. The only other option was the Duc de Valmer, which is not great. Happy to report that the French onion soup is still just as good as it once was.Ĭhampagne update-I was able to find one glass of the Haslinger Champagne before dinner at Passport Bar. Ida told us we could order off of the main dining menu, which surprised me because it’s not collocated with Blu. The cheesecake is still the best I’ve ever had and the chocolate cherry trifle blew us all away. This was my first time in Blu, having only dined in Luminae before, and the food was just as good if not better. I had lump crab martini, roasted butternut squash bisque, tuna pomodoro, cheesecake, and chocolate cherry trifle. We waited about 5 minutes for a table and had a lovely meal with Ida taking care of us. We arrived at Blu around 8 pm and it was a little congested at the host stand, which I think was due to the post-show group heading in and the early dinner crowd heading out. I’ve always been happy with the Celebrity Showtime performers on Silhouette and Summit, but this group was very impressive! The show last night was Broadway Cabaret. When I returned from dinner, I had a message from Mariska saying it was completed and I could come get a new key card. Went to the CC desk around 4 to ask to have it applied during the cruise. The Dal and Tikka Masala was a little too spicy for me, but so delicious. Food options were plenty and service was good. We went to Oceanview for lunch and while it was crowded, it was not chaotic. She said I could also get a bottle of the Celebrity Vintages “champagne.” I asked for water instead! Was surprised to learn that we get two bottles of water daily in Aqua. Met my lovely room steward Lourdes in the hall. My luggage was there when I went by the room at 1. Room keys were at the door immediately upon boarding. Not sure how many are actually onboard, but nothing has felt loud or overcrowded so far. She is in great shape, and looks slightly fresher than Silhouette. After sailing from only Miami and Bayonne, I was blown away by how easy and smooth the boarding process was there. I honestly panicked when we arrived at 11:20 because there was zero chaos and parking was readily available. Starting a live(ish) review for this cruise since I know a few of us who post here are onboard.īoarded at Port Everglades from Celebrity’s Terminal 25.
