Sounds to me like a skip the line card meant for those people with money. If this is true, Celebrity can go to hell as far as I’m concerned. 

Good point. Like the Disney pass that puts you in a faster line after you have already paid $$$$ for general admission. I wonder how that is going with the current interest rates on credit card ?

My guess would be not so well.

Can someone tell me what in this pass is worth paying a fee for?  Much less $33 a day?

Rumor has it that passengers with the " pass " arrive at the port earlier. 🤣

Don't want it?  Don't buy it. No problem.

Like the 2 dollar cookie , if the people don't buy it the latest money grab will disappear.

Sounds like a racket to me.

does anyone know when Captain Bly is scheduled ?

My wife and I once booked separate casino offers for the same cruise and arranged adjoining rooms for ourselves. The extra bathroom and closet space was great!

not to mention a solution for snoring.

I’ve never been on a  celebrity cruise and am going in december. I have been reading sometimes there are drink package sales. When does this normally happen? 

When the cruise line need $$$ fast. That's when it happens.

It will be up to those willing to pay this sucker fee if it survives.

I see no value at all in it. $33.00 per day x 2 passengers on a 10 day cruise $660.00.

Not for us.

Probably another IT glitch. Very common among the cruise lines.

Thanks Jim

Hi Everyone,

Despite having cruised on the Equinox a twice already, we have never purchased coffee from II Secondo Bacio.

That said , for those who have , is the quality and service comparable to Cafe al Bacio ( which has always been a favorite for us ) ?

I did attempt to validate before post, I have never seen or heard of "pork duo" and even google agreed with me.  Yet perhaps it's a Solstice thing

 

The only pork duo I ever heard of was porky and corky . 🤣

Got to laugh at Celebrity’s IT Department.  I just looked at the menus for our sailing on Apex later this month…it has Tuscan (one of the complimentary four MDRs) listed as a specialty restaurant you must pay for plus gratuity…

I think the Tuscan grill is a specialty restaurant on the S class ships

There are no more additional entrees below the screenshot.  This is for the Nov 28th solstice sailing and obviously things may change yet am simply sharing what appears in the app

Hope the app is mistaken with regard to menus. It usually is.

Thanks

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone recently experienced the “ priority boarding “ included with a Club Orange pass at Port Everglades ?
We have a cruise booked with the Club Orange pass in March and am trying to find out how the process works.

We did not make it! being old fogeys...

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Your still going strong 💪 

Did a Christmas cruise on the Eurodam many years ago. We thought it was quite nice, tasteful decorations, good food and even a visit from Santa. 
We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Celeb Cold Cuts.... YUM!

 

 

 

Did they open a subway onboard ?

I think it was:

Salmon/ Chicken breast/Strip steak for entrees. 
Appetizers were Escargot, Caeser Salad and Shrimp Cocktail. 

Don’t forget the French Onion Soup !

Lets hope they also tried the great looking but god awful deserts at the buffet and something can finally get done about that.  How hard can it be to bake a cake and slap some frosting on it that actually has some flavor to it.

It’s all about the ingredients, no matter how good it looks. Good ingredients make for good taste,

skimping on them make for disappointment.

Like it or not, complaining works.  Without it we’d have no pillow chocolates, vaping, a minimal selection at the dinner buffet, no free cookies at Cafe Al Bacio, etc

The squeaking wheel gets the grease.

Nice to see that they seem to be listening and making the appropriate changes to keep their "loyal customers" loyal!

They don’t want them to jump ship 🚢.

the video is well done and seems sincere attempt at damage control.  For it to get to this point (producing a video) X knows that there was a problem that needed to be addressed

 

Classics are coming back, more variety on the menu and chocolate desert every night. The said by Thanksgiving so that is pretty soon.

 

Not stated is the "where's my prime rib steak and Maine lobster tail" every night crowd.  I am afraid that they are SOL. If they are looking for that they should go to Fine Cut

That was one of the perks that used to be included when cruising on the major cruise lines especially Celebrity. If you are content with franks and beans and p b j ‘s the cruise lines will be delighted to accommodate you.
