What will never happen??  Celebrity becoming adult only??  If so, "shame" on the person for just asking about it??  What world are you living in!

they suggested that Celebrity become adult only.  I say it will never happen....  And why?  My kids loved Celebrity when we first sailed on Horizon with them 20 years ago.

??? What ‘never happen’/happened? And which poster should be ashamed???

 

Ive done some dumb posts and even apologized….but ‘shame’?? 

 

den

the person who suggested adults only on Celebrity

never happen.... and shame on that person that suggested it.

what did your TA say?

when your travel agent goes in, it shows all the ones where kids sail free.

What Rudi said....

only you can determine worth.

I just want to get on the ship, so I never noticed if there is a Prosecco station!

DEAR EVERYBODY ON EARTH - Do not ever be the guy that demands Dom Perignon when you are simply waiting to get processed to go on board. Wow, what a jerk! Hey JAGR, great story and a nightmare scenario. Thanks for sharing. If we can all avoid being "that guy" then life (and all of our cruises) will be that much better.

true....... he sounds like a clown..

BAC513 - Thanks for this comment. As a matter of fact, just this past week I called MSC Customer Service to bring up this very issue. Basically their YC web page "inclusions" section says you get Premium Internet, unlimited for 2 devices. But then you look through the rest of the general website and the only two internet packages offered for sale are "Browse" and the better "Browse and Stream." I asked Customer Service, "So of those two choices, which would you consider to be the PREMIUM -- wouldn't it be the better of the two?" And the gal contacted management to inquire. She got back on the line and told me to print out the screen shots. She told me that the premium was indeed the better "browse and stream" -- and I asked her to send that to me in writing, and she refused, citing a lack of ability to email me. So I asked for names and took these notes, which I will take on my trip along with the printed screenshots.

 

I called and spoke to Casey D., Customer Service on July 27th at 10:30 a.m. and she says her colleagues confirm that the "Premium Package" is the same as the "Browse and Stream Cruise Package", per Jennifer B. in management.

 

I also sent an email to our previous YC Director and encouraged him to pass it along to the powers that be... to help clear up confusion for guests. 

 

THIS IS WHAT THE YACHT CLUB PAGE SHOWS AS A BENEFIT:

 

 

AND THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO INTERNET PACKAGES FOR SALE TO PASSENGERS:

 

 

So, what YC calls Premium and Unlimited in their marketing, should be the better of the two available packages, right?

It is the browse.

I live in Miami Beach and my building overlooks many $5+ Million Dollar homes.  This gets me thinking, why fly commercial, when you can go private?  Why not charter a vessel (with crew), even up to a super yacht with friends, and split the cost?  Its like going to Casa de Campo and having a private villa with staff.  Why would you stay in the Presidential Suite, when you could live large, in a mansion?

I agree, charter a yacht if your experience is askew because of fellow passengers.

You are very wise. The pharmaceuticals are making a killing off of these boosters. …

bingo

What did your travel agent say?

I found the cabins to be nicer/bigger in Haven.  I thought the service and food was better on MSC.

I never had a bad experience with either category.  If the itinerary works for me, that's what we usually  book.

I looked at the menus of the specialty restaurants.  I compared them with what the YC menus were offering.  Even with a comp dinner, I saw no reason to dine elsewhere.

 

In the afternoon, if I wanted a snack, I patronized a pizza venue outside the YC and was very pleased.  As as been posted, beverages outside of YC will be of no cost to you.  And, in my experience, the pours will be very generous when the bartender recognizes you as a YC guest.  

we had pizza brought in at the pool one day for lunch on Meraviglia.....Vince our waiter got the biggest kick out of bringing it.  Their pizza always satisfies.....

You can get anything served in the MDR in YC restaurant.  As long as you give them notice.  Don't tell them at 6:30 you want it for 6:45.  Tell them early, and they will arrange for it.

No.. I fly American exclusively...... but there is probably a  business center on board where you can print.

oh that I don't know.  But if you are checking  bags, they will probably print out for you.

dunno.  we just use the app
