Tip if you really like espresso martinis. Go to baccio first order a shot of espresso then take to Martini bar and have them make you a fresh espresso martini. Otherwise Celebrity Martini bar makes premade espresso martinis that come from a machine. Not as fresh in mho

Thanks, Robert! That's the tip of the week, for sure (maybe for the month)! We stopped getting espresso martinis from the Martini bar for just that reason. It's such a short walk to Cafe al Bacio, this is a fantastic tip. We're going to try this on our upcoming Celebrity Cruises. Thank you and Happy Sailing!!

I always book the Sunset Veranda staterooms...no rocking, smooth, no engine smells, amazing views. Just wish the cabin itself was bigger. The two cabins on either end are larger with bigger wrap around varanda's, for the extra money and on longer sailings it's well worth the extra cost.

The Solstice-class ships are now dated, and Celebrity doesn't appear to be interested in upgrading them. We were on the Equinox in January, and many areas were in poor shape, particularly the cabins and verandas.
@NextWaveCruising
@NextWaveCruising 2 ай бұрын
Sorry to hear your experience wasn't exactly what you hoped for. It's interesting with Celebrity - so many customers just LOVE the Solstice Class ships and aren't always looking for the upgrades, especially in the color schemes, wood treatments, etc. Many of our customers report their Solstice class ship cruises seem well-maintained and very clean so they're happy with the class of ship they've grown used to enjoying, even though they aren't the newest ships in the fleet. Hopefully they'll address wear in the cabins. It's good for cruisers that there is variety - within the Celebrity fleet and with newer ships from other cruise lines. You may find the Edge Class ships from Celebrity to be much newer in layout and design features - very up-to-date.

how much is WIFI rate per day?
@NextWaveCruising
@NextWaveCruising 3 ай бұрын
The Basic/surf (ok to read your emails) wifi is included with some cruise fares; while in the Suites an upgraded Streaming Wifi is included. Inclusions are subject to change by the cruise line. There are a la carte wifi packages offered pre-cruise and the rates per day vary and it also depends on how many devices are being covered by the plan. The packages are sometimes on sale via the Cruise Planner, so I recommend you check your CruisePlanner online when you book, and again when you learn about online sales, in case there is a price drop for a period of time before the cruise. If you have loyalty tier status, there are sometimes free Wifi minutes included, or that could affect what you pay for a package. It's not a single answer . . .

I just don't see much difference from a regular balcony stateroom. I know it's supposed to be a tad bigger but but rather lack luster for the extra cost. Is there a benefit I'm seeing other than double sinks?
@NextWaveCruising
@NextWaveCruising 3 ай бұрын
I agree, there didn't seem to be a big difference with the balcony stateroom. Yes, the bathroom was larger. I think the other feature can be the location of these club balcony staterooms, which could be appealing to some cruisers.

Hi! This stateroom has an infinite veranda, which means there's a window at the end of the stateroom. There are other rooms above with the same style infinite veranda, so no, there wasn't an overhang from a walkway above. I'll check to see if I have anything showing what room number that was. ⛴😊

If the Bifold doors are closed and the window open does the AC continue to run?
@NextWaveCruising
@NextWaveCruising 3 ай бұрын
That is a great question. I'm not sure how tightly those bifold doors really close, so the AC most likely will turn off anytime the window is open. I think it's the window being open that triggers the AC to turn off. If anyone has had a different experience, please add a comment below.

Was this room 12754? Did it have the connection hallway area like other connecting rooms?
@NextWaveCruising
@NextWaveCruising 4 ай бұрын
Hi Wes, no this wasn't 12754. It was 12756 next door to 12754. . . it did have an outer set of doors in the hallway, so it looks like if someone booked both aft-facing verandas - side by side - they could let you use the outer doors and maybe keep the inner stateroom doors open. As I think you're alluding to, these don't have 'connecting doors' inside the staterooms like we find in other scenarios. During our cruise, the outer doors (the light wood door behind me at the beginning of the video) were just always set in the 'open' mode since we weren't traveling with guests in the next door stateroom.

@@leighcavell Hi Leigh, that's a really good question. For whatever reason, the deck plans we get from the cruise line don't specify this and I didn't see inside 12754.

My grandfather was raised by his 5 aunts in a 2 bedroom apartment in Mobile Alabama. His father died from asbestos in 1929. He went to an all girls catholic school because his 3 older sisters attended and he was granted an exemption. He was a cheerleader. In London, they called him "Buzz bomb" because his snores mimicked the sounds a V1 Rocket made just before landfall. He was trained to use a grenade launcher attachable to the barrel of his M1 Garand. He was raised a pacifist. His unit was the farthest east in the days before the battle of the bulge. Because he knew short hand, a lone Army officer flew to the front lines and scurried him away to safety. His entire unit, including every young man from his hometown, never left that forest. Once home he started a data company, in 1948. Women and Men would break down upon seeing him in the store, the barbershop, or just on the street as he was a reminder of those that he lost. He slay Nazi sons and brothers, by hand, bullet and knife, to keep this country free and his 7 children prosperous. My mother paid for college working 11 hours a week at a restaurant. She recommended I get a job at the microsfot store, and look bill gatews in the eye when I shook his hand. My dad saved over $10,000 in 1970 to go to school before being drafted for Vietnam. I haven't been to the dentist in 6 years and am saving up to buy either shoes or medical supplies, I haven't decided which I can afford based on my deductible. God Bless America.

What’s the seas like?
@NextWaveCruising
@NextWaveCruising 5 ай бұрын
During our cruise in April/May 2023, the seas were fine . . .some people may have noticed some sea action across the Tasman Sea between Sydney and New Zealand - it was really nice weather and we felt very comfortable through that part. And we had smooth seas the rest of the way to Hawaii. Every sailing is different, so I could never promise everyone will have that easy crossing - but with the new ships and their up-to-date stabilizers, they help make these cross-ocean cruises better than in the past.
