I went up one evening during HH when on the Eclipse and the bar was not staffed.

Thats too bad. Not all Elite members buy the AI as for many of us the HH drinks are sufficient. The Sky lounge on the S class ships was a great venue.

I cruise solo a lot and always worked out great meet so many nice people done shore excursions with other couples gone to evening shows with dinner mates and been invited to guests suites for pre dinner cocktails. If you're friendly people are also friendly.

I'd like to know also. This has been a highlight for many Elite guests don't know why they stopped it.

@Mississippianof course it's worth a dime. The 2 times I've been in a CC it cost me zero $$$ extra. This upcoming cruise cost me $10 extra per night in a C1 sunset verandah. I make all the little extra amenities work for me the bottle of sparkly is used for breakfast mimosas canapés get switched for hummus and pita even pillow menu and better towels are an advantage.

it's been awhile but I remember being on helipad sailing out of St. kitts and people were being turned away that were in sandals

I'm Elite and also in a Concierge cabin so hope I get an invite. Closed toe shoes are a must for those who don't know.

@PinkSandGirlyes I love the drinks there too and so artfully prepared. Don't have a drinks package for upcoming cruise but don't mind paying the prices at WCB I even prefer it to the crowded Martini bar.

I know I've ordered it before think it was 2019. Maybe I wrote it in but it arrived topped with smoked salmon.

The bartender at the WCB said many of their drinks are made with Ciroc vodka as they have a contract with them.

Many times it is cheaper. The only reason I upgraded is the price was minimal and my original balcony was an obstructed view on deck 6

No eggs Benedict? I thought they were on the CC menu.

In my case the upgrade was another $100 canadian for 10 nights. It was 50 CC points for this sailing and another 2 before I reach Elite +.

Thank you. Yes I thought so too. I've had a sunset cabin once before many years ago on RCI and loved it so when I saw this grabbed immediately. My CVP said someone must have moved up to a suite or something and the price of my cabin had not been updated. Seems those sunsets versndas are hard to come by.

I'm on a 10 night Equinox sailing later this month and upgraded to CC for an extra $100 canadian for entire cruise. Orihinally had an obstructed balcony on deck six and with the upgrade moved up to deck 10 forward. Couple days later spotted an aft balcony on the wake of the ship with deeper balcony so grabbed it for another $100. I think it was a good deal. I like the embarkation lunch and a few of the extra perks plus.

I was wrong about the price.of a day pass for some reason that $99 figure came to mind. Not actually sure of current pricing as I'm not big on spa services. With my Elite status I do have access on a port day but the Edge ship would not honor it as under a different contract. Never actually took a tour of the spa on the Edge but my friend who used it said its far superior to Persian Gardens.

No bill is presented just tip a couple bucks or more if generous. They really appreciate it.

They may have in the onboard duty free. Absolute vodka makes one I've used it for Cosmopolitan martinis

For sure and was told to mind my own business. 😁😁

Yes it is and it hasn't changed. Short ribs are really tasty so is the soup and you avoid the rush of the buffet.

@Alakegirlon a separate occasion saw a man put scalloped potatoes from buffet onto his plate taste it changed his mind and scraped it back. Gross if you ask me.

@cruisestitchwhere did I state I only had one poor experience? Bit of an ignorant comment.

I travel solo quite often and hate buffets so either go to MDR on sea days or aqua spa. Once a few years ago I left a drink and a tote bag on a chair below my drink in the buffet to get some food when I returned drink was gone and bag shoved over on the seat. Occupants said nope our table now. That's the end of buffets for me.

I ate at sushi on 5 one day recently cant remembered what I paid but yes the food is excellent

@Ipeeinthepools I think we're on the same cruise later this month. I am also curious as to how all this will play out.
