Back in 2002, when we started cruising, I would lose weight on a cruise. I was then close to 60 and a runner. Today, my running days are over and I put a few pounds on cruising, but I lose them in a week. Health is the most important thing in this world and keeping a healthy bmi is a big part. My wife and I hit the gym every day, love the track on the E ships and usually skip desert and restrict alcohol. We also eat a lot of veggies. BTW-We are both Zenith with healthy bmi's despite 100 cruises.
I love when people done take me seriously as a cruiser with a higher loyalty status because I’m young. I actually never find it’s the crew that treat me differently - it’s the other passengers, ha!
Thanks Zach! When we were on Equinox (Med in Sept), there was a "Progressive Lunch" on the last Sea day that had selection of offerings from Murano, Tuscan Grill, Sushi on Five. We really enjoyed that and would sign up again!
I’ve been on Eclipse before but it was nice to revisit it again after a number of years. To bad about the service in the MDR. They better get on top of that quick. See you in the next video🤗. We’re going to be on her at Christmas.
I really try to stay the same weight. The first night i ask my steward to bring me 1/2 portions at meals. That way I can sample more foods. I only take the stairs and decline the bread basket. I often will have a brûlée for dessert once a week. The rest of the time i have fresh fruit. It works for me
I did a 8 night celebrity cruise almost two years ago and we stayed in an aqua class room. I was and still am on a diet where I couldn't have gluten, dairy, grains or sugar. The staff was wonderful accommodating me. I ended up losing 3 pounds on this cruise. It takes so.e will power but it can be done.
I was on this cruise too. Because I booked so late, I had the late dining at 8:15. I felt like the service was so much better with the set dining, because I always had the same servers. If people really want to dine late, and anytime dining closes at 8:30, the late set dining is great. I was sailing solo, and had the same 2-top the whole cruise.
Also, I did the Taj (Indian) dinner. It was incredible! It was so, so much food for one person, although they did bring smaller dishes. But everything was amazing. Anyone who has a chance to do that should give it a try.
Hi Zach. On our last cruise on Solstice in October there were over 600 elites, so the Tuscan Grille breakfast was served buffet style. Which was good, help yourself to as much as you want, leave what you don’t want, no waiting to get your food. The servers still took care of beverages & pastries. Can’t understand why the bagels at the elite breakfast are so tiny when they have normal bagels in the other dining venues.
We are on the Reflection in 3 weeks- I’m hoping we can eat healthy lol ( nearly impossible on Celebrity) because the food is so good!! Seems like a very nice cruise you are on. Hope you’re having a great time!!
Last cruise I made it a point to take the stairs every time. Up or down. Sometimes 8 floors at a time. I found it got easier every day. Halfway through we also started skipping breakfast and starting with a big salad at lunch. Finally, we made it a point to at least go for a brisk walk after every meal. Aside from that we indulged but it did help limit the weight gain.. I think!
My guess also on your cruise since it was a repositioning they got rid of half the staff in Boston from the Canadian section and then they’re flipped around and now they have new people on for the cruise season for the Caribbean and they’re not quite used to the ship
Hi Zach! Wife and I are doing a back to back on the Eclipse in January. We will be staying in a Concierge Calls stateroom and was wondering, do you know if they still have ottomans on the balconies? From your video, it does not appear as though you had some. Thanks!
You did show up 1 minute before they close so you really can't complain too much about service (not saying you were), they were probably going through their closing process and your arrival threw a wrench in the process

The inclusion of a lawn on the top deck remains one of the most innovative features in the cruise industry.

Hey, Zach! Great to see this. Being on the same cruise, I love seeing the cruise through your eyes. :-)

I haven’t heard of that before but that sounds fantastic!

❤ looks like FUN! LOOKING forward to your ABC islands videos!!❤

I was on this cruise out of Boston, very cool to see. Loved Bonaire the best!
Great series so far. Service is always going to dip the closer you get to closing in just about any restaurant. Could we see more of the food please?

Never go to the Oceanview, breakfast and lunch at the SpaCafe.

Makes me wonder if they were installing a new theater cast and that is why they were using Celebrity Central.

I was on our first cruise, 7 days to Canada from Boston. I LOST 7 pounds on the cruise. But they followed me to Quebec City.
Yes, would like to see the food that we do not have to pay extra for.
Too bad you didn't show the buffet. Great video otherwise. Sounds like the dinner staff need common sense.
