    I haven't even seen the pajama attire in my passing around in early morning.
    With dining room, if you select early or late times it would be set table nightly.  They will adjust nightly once everyone is seated for "walk-ins"
    My time is flexible and hasn't been problem with time requests
    You won't see the pins or stuffy ones demanding this or that because status

    Hope everyone has enjoyed the class 101 on Celebrity cruises and venture over to book a sailing.
    Maybe a group cruise will be in the future

    Back of lounge.  Other corner is standing room only. Obviously no one is in bed.

    I ventured over to Next Cruise this evening.  2025 Europe itineraries are better with Celebrity and rate ended up cheaper in the end especially with OBC added and $100 deposit on a long sailing

    Currently on Celebrity in Europe, there has been no issue finding chair either in solarium or pool deck
    Made my way over to Sunset bar this morning and buffet didn't seem like a mob scene at all.
    Casino is smoke free which is a major plus in my book.  Cruise director loaded $5 plus status amount to everyone sea pass card.  Lucky mine turned into $200  last night.

    That is true , won't see tipping like on Royal.  I did venture up to buffet in the name of research.  Quite a bit of options and it's doesn't look like cafeteria food.
    Made to order pasta station, carving station, Asian grill, casear salad station made to order, gluten free area(variety), chef daily special, Curry station,Gelato area, pizza station and normal items with plenty of fruits, breads, cheeses, meats and sweets.  Everything is presented well and map on wall details location of items.  They do offer late night menu as well.  You won't find hamburgers or hot dogs.  Those are at pool grill daily til 6pm.
    Down at coffee shop there is a counter filled with pastries that changes daily.  Cookies of course then across is another Gelato counter.
    You will not starve.
    Very accommodating and crew will ask if everything is fine or if something else needs to be made.

    One thing to mention, they do run more frequently true cruise planner sales than Royal.  
    Drink package was $41 a day on this sailing and internet was $10.99 with sale.
    If you miss a sale, you can call Captain # for status discount 
    Cruise planner also offers other items to purchase like gambling funds, effy discount, etc.  Effy is usually 20% and if don't redeem then refunds back to you.

    Another difference is you won't hear craziness of upsell stuff left and right or go buy your bingo card.  You either see events in the App or in the Daily.  Not constant announcements to go to this or that.

    For me i can't imagine leaving my money as inheritance when it could be logically or selfishly spent on more cruises for ME.....
    Maybe i could leave a small inheritance with stipulations on cruising and say forget planting a tree at a park, instead buy me a bench on each ship in Central Park, table in Coastal kitchen or a bar stool in Schooner bar with name engraved in memory of......whose fondest memories were sailing the seas til the end.
