  1. I can't find it on cruise personalizer. What is it listed under?
  2. I'm not a big drinker. When I do drink it's to taste something new and fun. What is your favorite specialty drink that you have on Celebrity Cruises?
  3. Ad that's fine! Do you!
  4. Our family treats cruises like prom. It's our favorite time to dress up and get pictures. The masculine ones wear tuxedos. The fem ones wear over the top gowns. Rhinestones for both genders! We definitely stand out but we don't mind. Celebrity has less Tuxedos than Cunard, but more than Holland. All the cruiselines have gotten a little more casual but those of us who like it still dress to impress.
  5. This is totally the post I needed
  6. The problem is they are light, delicious and don't taste as strong as they are. I would never knock back 4 Manhattans in an hour but these suckers go down like lemonade. Thank God the medallion ap could tell me where I was because after 4 in a couple hours I had no idea!
  7. The taste. I don't think it has an effect other than it makes me happy
  8. Isn't it the worst?! The first day after a cruise and no breakfast delivery always makes me cry
  9. I've searched everywhere. Does anyone know what juices there are on Princess? I've developed a daily ruby red grapefruit habit. Do I need to bring my own?
  10. I just really hoped people who don't want to tip would just move on but some folks just can't help themselves
  11. Really, if you don't like tipping just move along. No one is making you post a comment or tip for that matter. How on earth does my desire to tip harm you?
  12. It's hard to swim with a fist full of dollars
  13. I dont want to start another tip controversy and debate wether tipping is good or bad. This question is for the "yes" tippers. 've always tipped extra for room service deliveries. I never tip extra at the bar, although i somtimes bring a tip at the end of the cruise for special bartenders. Since the medallion started, I never know what to do when I order a drink brought to me in the library or on deck. Should I tip like you do for room service? What about by the pool when you have no pockets? Is there a way to leave a tip for the delivery staff like I do for the resteraunt staff at the end of the cruise? Folks work so hard for so little and I'm in a position where I can afford the extra tips. I'm just not sure the protocol for this new experience.
  14. I have no idea why you would say that. It fits with tons of room and actually is floating around in there. It couldn't "pop out" because it's in the watch case, glass in the front and stainless steel in the back.
  15. I think I found the perfect thing. I got a watch for $1 at value village. I popped of the back, emptied the guts and put in the medallion. This medallion is from several years ago. We were using it as a magnet on our fridge. I sure hope they haven't changed sizes!
  16. Yep! I actually just didn't like what I chose and they let me exchange and refund the difference
  17. I went to.the apple store and the medallions are much smaller than airtags. The medalion will fit in the rubber styles cases but none of the rigid ones would hold the airbag. The salesperson and I tried it in every accessory they had in the store
  18. For me, I don't care if they are cheap, I just want one that is cute and will fit. I have the pendant but I want a bracelet. The bangle they sell just doesn't fit comfortably. I'm a size 14. Literally the average size woman in the US and they don't make a bracelet to fit me.
  19. Sorry, I checked with my table mate. The onboqrd account had a 200 per person limit on it. She doesn't know why. It was fixed, but I don't think she was the only one with the problem. You can certainly ask the moderator to take down my post, but I kept notes and have the dates, times and locations of each incident. I really wish this was made up. Every time I sat down people and made small talk people told me the problems they were having. It didn't all happen to me, but it happened and watching it happen to other people is really awful too. I kept thinking "this can't very happening" Was my personal experience awful? Not really. But it certainly wasn't Cunard level.
  20. It was her card on file. They said it had a 200 dollar limit on it. Apparently the purser put a 200 limit on it accidentally
  21. Yes, they were using the room card and the "card they had on file was declined" it was resolved once they went to the pursers desk but the purser said it had a 400 limit, which is impossible.
  22. Well, the luggage issue was with Cunards service, not the airline. They shipped their luggage with cunard. The 7 folks who had their luggage lost in UK all at least tried to dress appropriately. I sat at dinner with a couple who somehow manged to get a collared shirt and dress with their money. Why a guy was allowed in the dining room with drawstring pants and a Yale shirt even ok formal nights is beyond me. On the black and white night he even wore a torn baseball cap the whole time. His partner wore her bathing suit and cover up. The woman laughed about spending all the money at Sephora. The avocado toest thing happened on the day we arrived in San Fran. I'm so glad you got avocado. I got dry toast with egg and tomatoes. The San Francisco thing was in fact cunards fault. They didn't file the proper paperwork in Vancouver. I talked to US customs for over an hour while I waited to get back onboard. The folks who went on excursions had them cut short due to the marathon. The Sausalito folks got less than a half hour in Sausalito. They weren't refunded their money. Cunard surely could have seen a problem with the marathon that had been scheduled for 18 months. My room steward never refilled my tea despite multiple notes and requests. The room service line was always busy or would ring and ring but never pick up. We only got our breakfast in room card once the whole trip. Our bed was not made mosr mornings despute the please make up room card in the door. We got turn down service twice. We had early dining at 6 but waited in the hall one day until 6:20 for them to open the doors. They met with me about my food allergies the nights before. When they made a slight change in the menu they served my plate with something I'm allergic to. My food took 45 minutes to arrive. Everyone else had already eaten. My room key had to be re-coded 4 times. I finally gave up and just used my partners. At my breakfast table on the first sea day one of the folks hadn't had her luggage delivered yet. One of my dinnermates had her card declined for wine but she was using an Amex with no limit. I could go on. Everytime I sat down with people I heard all the problems they were having I'm really sad that my trip on Princess last year was 100% more luxurious with better customer service.
  23. We just got back from Queen Elizabeth. From beginning to end the customer service was just terrible. It was comically terrible. Things like no avocado onboard but they left avocado toast on the menu and brought me dry toast with garnishes. They didn't file the right immigration paperwork so everyone had to leave the ship and redo us customs. They lost tons of luggage. They gave them a voucher for clothes but the dining room was full of folks in pajamas and tshirts, even on formal nights. One terrible example, the Golden Lion was crowded and we offered to share our table with a couple. We had already ordered. The waiter took the new couples order right when they sat down, about 1:00. Our food came and the waiter said they wpukd check on the couples food. 10 minutes later they brought her burger but not his fish and chips. She waited to eat snacking on the fries. They asked 3 times where the fish and chips were. Each time they were told they would check. About 7 orders of fish and chips went out in this time. At 10 minutes to 2 I went and asked for assistance. We waited with the couple until the dining manager came. He told the couple the kitchen was closed and they would have to come tomorrow. Not only did I raise an objection but several other tables did. One offered her fish and chips to the husband and the manager said "there! Good neighbors! It all turned out okay" That happened! On Cunard!! It is only one example. I haven't been on Cunard since QE2 and I still have hope for them. I am a platinum member. I loved cunard. Please tell me this was a crazy fluke of a week! Is this normal?
