We were in Quebec City for a couple of precruise days, and we had dinner at the restaurant you posted the picture of. (Aux anciens Canadiens). It was great - and their Maple Syrup Pie was amazing.

First, our experience in Civitavecchia was similar, but it was our first sky suite, so we didn't know any better. We did have a different check in like, but the Aqua line was actually a little shorter. And by the time we got there, everyone was just boarding as they came. Second, when DH and I were on the Summit in April, it was his first time and my third. By afternoon of the first day he asked me if I knew everyone on the ship and was going to hug them all.

I've had more mistakes on Princess with the medallion than with the card on X, but I've had extra charges on both.

We just got back from a week in Calgary and Banff, and saw this, so I'm following. Sounds like you did better with food then we did in 2017. Friends did a tour where their local guide said not to go to a restaurant with a multipage menu, or one that had Jewish Artichokes on the menu (out of season). We went to. restaurant that her daughter had recommended, and sure enough, Artichokes and multipage menu. The company from our roll call was good though. Have a great cruise.

I think it's called a center cut ribeye. It comes up here once in a while. I've heard it can be a very good cut of meat, but, I don't know why, but not good on X

Which likely means 1pm or so. Everyone who took a train in for our September cruise was late. Apparently, quite usual. I hope you're the exception.

Great so far. Fun fact - your Fairmont hotels are the Canadian Railroad built hotels. We're in Alberta for a week right now and have visited two of them. (Banff Springs and Lake Louise).

Please see above. The points are supposed to be awarded in November.

I hope the new and improved Amuse-Bouches are not fish centric. I don't eat fish, and one cruise within the last year was fish almost every day. I had a lot of berries as amuse-bouche. Got very boring, although on one ship they'd throw balsamic reduction on them, which made them a whole lot better.

And now, I guess I have go to the website, since the app now shows my 1587 points as 1.5K, so adding 3 more points won't change that. Am I missing something?

In both Calgary (yesterday) and Quebec (last month) everyone went to the kiosk. In Quebec, I forgot to do my ArriveCan, and had to answer the questions. In Calgary I did it, and just had to confirm I had no changed. Saved about a minute or two.

FYI. You still use the kiosk. It just takes a bit longer as you have to answer the questions.

As far as things like drink packages go - no you get what you had. You do get the access to Luminae, lounge and sundeck (if the ship has it), and I've been told you get drinks while in the lounge and sundeck. But you don't get the drink package that was associated with booking a suite.

I never said that anyone had no empathy. All I said was that there didn't seem to be any expressed here. You are all making assumptions about me. So just be happy that Celebrity is making good, and pray to whatever god you do that this ends soon, and let's all go back to complaining about food cuts. And I hope you all get to go to Israel eventually. It's amazing and eye opening. (And the food, btw is great). Peace all.

We forgot to do it when we flew in Quebec last month. There wasn't much of a line, but we did have to answer the questions at the machine, so we could have saved about 3 minutes or so.

My niece is in Israel for the year right now. She's in Jerusalem, so hopefully OK. We spent 10 days there back in 2015. We loved it. And I just texted her and she's fine.

Me too.

Yes, that class of ship has very nice buffets. And since the Majestic was originally built for the Asian market, it does have some stuff not on any other ship.

Which Princess ship were you on? If you were on one of the newer Royal class ships, I would tend to agree. On the older ships the buffet is much smaller than Celebrity, with far less variety, and a lot of the same food day after day.

Did they respond? On Princess last month they had a paper form and I wrote about the poor service we received in a pay restaurant. Two days later they got back to me, offered a repeat, but instead we got them to remove the charge.

Yes! He was Jesus's assistant on the Equinox. It was so nice to see him again.

Maybe back to the Equinox? She was maitre d there for a long time, and I was surprised to see her on the Eclipse last summer (she said she wanted to see Alaska). What we loved was that our assistant waiter from Equinox in 2021 was our waiter on the Eclipse. He was excellent on both, so a well deserved promotion. And btw, over on FB there's a long thread about the hot mess that immigration was in San Francisco. Sounds similar. I think because you both went to Victoria, so had to do it at your first US port.

Maybe they should go back to the "Big Better Best" or whatever preceded it. Or, you pick two. I'd do tips and drinks and just be careful with my free loyalty wifi.

We're on Symphony OTS for 6 days just before our 7 day on the Apex in December. The price of the Crown Loft is a little bit less than our Sky Suite on the Apex, but a per day of about 150.00 more total. I guess we get a bigger room, but no butler on either. Difference, of course, is that we were never getting a butler on Royal. And a couple of days ago I noticed, that all the menus on the X app disappeared - main dining, Luminae, Blu, Specialy etc. On the RC app, the Coastal Kitchen menus also are gone, but others are still there.

Since the Infinity has not been revolutionized it's still just Michael's club. We were on it in a Sky Suite for 24 days, and had a great time. We then were on the revolutionized Summit. There was better storage in the Infinity Sky Suite, although it's still dark woods. Michael's club as the retreat lounge doesn't look a lot different, but the seating was better in Michael's club. The retreat sundeck on the Summit was nice, though.
