Thanks Tom, my wife and I have been on a couple celebrity cruises and I was debating if the additional maybe $800 was worth it over an infinite veranda. Your review about the shower and also the service in Blu sold me on choosing an Aqua class room. We found the service in Blue on the Silhouette to be excellent and your confirmation that it was great on the Beyond was a great help. I think that personalized service in Blu had us looking forward to dinner every night on the Silhouette and I am thinking when your spending that much money on a cruise making dinner extra special is well worth the $$.. thanks again.
I am so glad you found my videos helpful, Lauren. It's great to hear that both of you had a good time. I am in love with that shower. I took 3 a day just to stand under it. I very much agree about Blu and its personalized service. They also have amazing breakfast. Those freshly squezed juiced made my mornings. How did you like the Silhoutte? I heard great things and lookng forward to cruising on that ship soon. I really appreciate your kind words. They made my day! Thank you.
Thx Tom, I needed this review badly. Can I also order items from main dinning while I am dining in blu. I enjoy some unhealthy dishes with my healthy plate😋
You are very welcome. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video! You can order from the regular dining menu when eating at Blu. I hope you enjoy your trip!
You are most welcome. It depends on the ship you are sailing on. Here is a whole video covering best lunch options on Celebrity: ua-cam.com/video/O-YTgtzy5QQ/v-deo.html
I also commented on your review of Chef's Table on the Ascent. My wife and I are actually booked in Aqua Class and have been wondering how many specialty restaurants that we want to visit, since everyone raves about Blu. We are currently booked for Chef's Table, Eden, Dinner on the Edge and Le Petit Chef. It is a 13 night transatlantic cruise, so there are a lot of opportunities to eat :) I would appreciate any input you have on that. Should we just stay with Blu? Or should we do the other specialty restaurants that we are thinking of?
Hi Sherwin! Thank you for all of your comments. I will get to the other ones tonight as soon as I have a little more time. My advice to you is to cancel the Dinner on the Edge. Its more of a novelty than actual good food. You should make it a priority to go to Le Voyage and Eden. Both of them are absolutely fantastic ( i have individual videos on each). Le Petit Chef is a good experience. It gets old after a few visits but I do suggest it if you havent tried it. The food is good. Another tip for you is to try Le Grand Bistro. Its only open for lunch and is the best value out of all the paid venues (you will not need reservations ahead and they are open on both sea and port days). Really good lunch. It runs about 35 dollars per person. Good idea to go there on embarkation day. Lunch at the buffet is the only option when you get on. So getting a big paid lunch may be a good start to your cruise. Just remember you will be very full and may not eat a heavy dinner. Blu is a good alternative to the main dining room. Especially on the Ascent. You should enjoy it. To be honest, you paid good money for Aqua and Blu is one of the best things about that package. Thermal Suite is the other plus. Make sure you visit the spa (if you dont know what I am talking about, I have a video on that as well). Since I am noticing you are a foodie, here is my tip in regards to Blu. I suggest checking out the daily menu and picking nights that you do not like. You should be able to see the menu via your app once you get closer to your sail date. Pick a few nights that you don't like and book your specialty dining then. Make sure you do not miss the last formal night in Blu. They serve lobster and beef wellington that night. It will be the best menu, so whatever you do, make sure to go to Blu on that night. I hope this helped. Cheers and thanks for the comment.
Thanks! Great suggestions! I have seen where you have mentioned the Le Grand Bistro. We will do that on embarkation day. I am anxious to find out the menu for Blu. Eden is already fully booked except for embarkation day and our last cruise day! So I'm not sure when lobster and beef wellington is happening , but I gotta be there. I'm going to keep checking back in case they open up something. When you say a video on the spa, do you mean the Thermal Suite? I'll look for that. It appeared that it was all co-ed. I was trying to figure out how that worked. Doesn't Dinner on the Edge have the Raw on 5 menu? I was a little confused by that. Your video on the deceitfulness of the specialty package was especially helpful. I thought that was correct, but Celebrity gave me the totally wrong info. Great work with the videos. Thanks again!@@tomsunday
@@tomsunday Just an FYI for any late comers to this thread, yes, you can order from the main dining room BUT depending on the ship you are on, the kitchen for the main dining room is a considerable distance from the Blue dining room and your waiter will inform you that your meal may be delayed in arrival.
They used to be. However, Celebrity changed their package breakdown recently. Aqua rooms can now be purchased via all included or cruise price only rates. If you are paying for the cruise only, drinks will be extra.
That’s my concern because we have aqua class booked for something in June and I’m a vegetarian. I do eat dairy and eggs. What kind of tissues do they have?

Blue. My favorite color. Can’t be bad. Thanks for the review tom.
You would love it here Echo!

Great day, and the decor is on point there. 😊
I love the decor in Blu!
I booked Blu for my first Celebrity Cruise. This really helped. Thanks
I hope you have a great time! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for the review. Usually where will you eat for lunch?

Do you need to make a reservation for Blu? If so, how do you do that?
No reservations are needed!
Can you order from the main dining room if you do not like what they are serving?
Yes you can!

Are the coctails included at BLU even if you dont have drink package?
They used to be. However, Celebrity changed their package breakdown recently. Aqua rooms can now be purchased via all included or cruise price only rates. If you are paying for the cruise only, drinks will be extra.
Great review!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Is the food at blu free for aqua class passengers?
Yes, it is included in your Aqua package!
I was on the Summit last week. I was disappointed with my options as a vegetarian at Blu. The Buffett food at lunch was much better
I did the July 4th sailing on the Summit about a month ago. I didn't try Blu. However, the buffet was good. I'm working on that video as we speak!
That’s my concern because we have aqua class booked for something in June and I’m a vegetarian. I do eat dairy and eggs. What kind of tissues do they have?
Upgrade to a sky suite and eat at luminae over blue.
I love Luminae! 😋
Is Blu included for "Retreat" customers along with Luminae?
Only if you get the Aqua suites. Otherwise, it's Luminae only.
Cheers Tom.
Thanks for watching, Steve! I am glad you enjoyed this one. These food reviews make me very hungry.
You might have asked for hash browns from the main restaurant(s). They'll get it from there -i bet!
Oh, that's a good idea! Thanks for sharing.
Menu stills on videos PLEASE! Otherwise, I'm on a binge of your videos😊
You got it! I will include them in tomorrows review of Ascent's MDR and future videos. Thanks for watching!
Too bad the poached eggs were overcooked. The blueberry smoothies sound good.
Those smoothies were the best part of my morning breakfast! 😋
