Not sure about all the stuff because I am only elite but the cocktail hour is the same thing. They call it happy hour and it is from 5:00 to 7:00 and it is almost every bar on the ship but they have a limited drink menu. They also have the captain's club elite cocktail hour but sometimes not every night. That is in addition to the happy hour anywhere. In the morning from 8:00 to 10:00 they have the continental breakfast it's usually in the Tuscan grill restaurant and it is small breakfast items and free mimosas, bloody Marys and juices and specialty coffees.

My March 13th Cruise on vision to Nassau is $250/$200. I guess that maybe could be considered spring break time?

Great! We find out tomorrow if they take an arm or arm and leg...

I have been on 10 cruises, including 2 celebrity out of Bayonne and have never ever been asked what my boarding time is. 9 of the 10 were after covid. I usually get 10:30 but a couple times I got later boarding times and still was never asked because I'm always there by 10:15 to 10:30.

"Your choice of vegetables. I had onion, tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms". Sounds just like what I would like. Will have one, Sept.19th.

The DBP for diamond and above on my September 18th LOS nine night out of Bayonne is $49.95. never have seen it cheaper. But I still don't need it because of my 4 diamond vouchers. I don't drink fancy drinks, don't drink coffee any fancier than what you can get in the crown lounge. I don't need fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning and I just don't see the need for the extra 500 plus expense. But they are trying to tempt the hell out of the diamond and above class.

Can I ask you guys what else you put in your salmon omelette other than the salmon? Always wanted to try one but wasn't sure what else went good with it.

Just used it again last sunday. They give you a little business card with a barcode that you scan and it takes you to their website. You enter your mobile phone number and your license plate number and then it takes you to a credit card info. Once you enter the credit card info and it is accepted you are all set and you will get a text saying that your parking has started on whatever time and date you are there. When you leave they scan your license plate and bill you accordingly. Of course this is for the parking garage so I'm not sure how it works in the other parking areas. after you sign up the first time you don't have to do it again. Even if they give you a card you don't need to scan it again. It will scan your plate and automatically start the cycle. As soon as you pull in you will instantly get a text from them.

I am sailing on silhouette out of Bayonne on Sunday and yesterday I got a another of many move up offers and I have an obstructed view veranda because that was all that was left that would fit my budget, so I was hoping to be able to upgrade but everything was sold out. In the move up I could get a concierge veranda for like $300 PP min bid in the morning and then later in the day it went down to $100 PP so I bid the minimum and within an hour I was awarded a concierge veranda which is on Deck 10 and is totally unobstructed so I'm pretty happy. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? There are a few decent perks for the concierge upgrade but really I would never do it if I didn't have an obstructed view veranda. As a solo cruiser it's just not worth it.

It's not on the menu in the MDR but if you ask them they will usually get it for you. They have always gotten it for me.

I like the free bloody mary's and mimosas in the morning also. The bloody mary's are in a small juice glass so you need to order 2. Only at the exclusive continental breakfast.

I guess that blows the heck out of my theory that they don't store your card #.

I'm guessing 1 time thing because it's not an app and hopefully they don't save your card #. When you scan in it tells them when to start the parking till you leave. I'll know for sure when i'm back there in June for celeb cruise.

As a vintage of 74, I hear that a lot.

Thanks. Glad to hear this. I live in central NY and it is already hard as heck to get it so I was worried. My fav reasonably priced bourbon.
