Now that is something I might pay for!

Its a cruise. Treat yourself to the chocolate covered oreos.

Yes that is the other side of the shoe. They did not say that in the comments you just posted from them. Eliminating cookies - bah humbug.

Hi Den. Where have you been? I have missed your intelligent comments here!

I will still pack my Chips Ahoy. Maybe I can warm them onboard in a microwave and feel like a kid again!

Reports are that the $2 cookies are another "test" on one ship. Equinox. Not sure if this can be confirmed or if the cookies are now $2 on other ships.

OK add a bag of Chips Ahoy to my cruise packing list.

Stupid decisions like all others have consequences.

They seem to listen just every so often. Like reversing the dramatic cutbacks in the OVC dinner buffet.

But if he were my butler I would give him a pretty good tip.

OK a lot of British phrasing there but I think I understand your comment!😄

terry I hear they are looking for dedicated butlers for the upper suites. Perhaps you could do this on board during your next cruise.

I guess we should have truly believed this was coming and not be surprised for the entire cruise industry to do this after the 18 month shutdown. But it is like slapping us in the face with cold water.

Until they can figure out a way to charge you extra for vaping. Maybe a vaping section of tables in the casino with a $10 admission fee? And $2 a cookie.

Yes agreed. But that is different than getting spirts out of the minibar at no charge.

Well not if you avoid sailing on Celebrity in the future. That's what it will come down to for a number of us if this continues. Sad really.

You could usually get free cookies in the OVC too. Usually at the ice cream station.

I hear Equinox is testing out an upcharge of $1 per tomato if you want a whole round tomato. Seeing if it will go fleet-wide. 😀

Opposite of me. I get free cookies and sit next to vapers in the casino.

Yes but did you ask for hard spirits? They always would draw the line there. We always got the soda, beer and water. Not wine except for the one free bottle first day of the cruise.

Taking away free cookies is MUCH worse than a few people vaping in the casino!🤪

"Let them eat cake"

Luxury shopping trip!

We have cruised a number of times in a CS and the minibar was never included as it is for upper level suites like RS and PH. But our butler left beer and soda (whatever our choices were). Same as Sky suites. A number here are jumping to conclusions that this "extra" will not happen with the Butler duo. We should wait for real onboard experiences to be posted on this. Especially if people ask but no longer receive.

Next time I sail a Sky Suite I would still tip extra at the end of the cruise if warranted. I would just give an envelope to the Retreat Concierge labeled Retreat Team. This would include the 2 butlers and Retreat staff in the Lounge too. So they made it simple really. I also tip the Retreat concierge if he/she has been helpful to me.
