We were on a Princess cruise 27 March - 6 April of this year on the Enchanted. We had reserved DMW (Dine My Way. Like ATD.) for every evening at 6 PM. The Princess Captain's Circle HH was from 4:30 to 8:30. Princess doesn't have a dedicated lounge for Platinum and Elite. So they reserve a lounge for that time frame. Drinks are at a discounted rate. We had the Plus Beverage Package so no additional cost to us. There was a bar in the lounge. Also hot and cold appetizers. A lot like what is in the CL.
Our last RC cruise was a B2B on the Employer, March 2022, TD. DL still. Our future B2B cruise is March 2025 and have TD at 5:30. I know times have change for TD in the MDR. 🤬 Will have to adjust according. We'll still stop in the CL first, like we always have.
Our first exposure to the medallions was on our recent Enchanted cruise. 27 March - April 6. Was skeptical about them pre cruise. During the cruise, great. And we didn't even use the medallions to their fullest capability. Post cruise, wish Celebrity and RC would go with this technology.
We were on the Enchanted 27 March - 6 April. We ate in the Amalfi MDR every evening at 6:PM. We didn't see or hear any kids or even see any as we were entering or leaving the MDR. I had heard (?) there was less than 200 kids onboard. I know there were some as I saw the gym staff kick young kids out of the gym. Kudos to the staff.
Agree. We always go to the CL for HH when HH first starts. Couple of drinks, cheese plate, my wife always likes a chocolate covered strawberry.Then head down to supper about 45 minutes later, ~6:PM. Enjoy a 5 course meal always in the MDR.
We cruise RC offen. We only cruise on the following class of ships. Never the huge floating amassment parks of the seas. 😁 Freedom class (~155,000 GT), Voyager Class (~138,000 GT) and Radiance Class (~91,000 GT). We are RDINKs. 😁
Exactly my point I was making that suite guests do not have access to the CC HH if in a reserved lounge. The suite guest or any other guest may be allowed access only if staying in the same cabin as an Elite or above and that still is at the discretion of the CC Concierge. IMO, that practice needs to stop.
Agree. One correction. Only Elite, Elite Plus and Zenith would have access to the reserved lounge during the CC HH from 5 to 7 PM. Suites never have and still don't have access to that CC HH event. Which now is limited to only 2 or 3 evenings, depending on the length of the cruise. Suite guests only have the Retreat Lounge.
You can reach Elite with Celebrity taking zero cruises with Celebrity.
Wrong there is a laundry limit. Elite gets 1 complimentary bag, up to 30 items that go in a Wash n Fold bag. Great for underwear and socks. Aslo 2 complimentary pressed items. 1 complimentary dry cleaned item.
Received an Email this morning from Celebrity. A survey about checking out a cruise on their website also about our future cruise with Celebrity and cruising with Celebrity.
I always fill out the mid cruise surveys. Once I noted a complaint. Man, it was less than a half hour from the time I turned the form in to GS that I immediately received a phone call from the head of that department I made the complaint against and also followed up shortly by the Hotel Director. Problem solved before the ink was dry on the form.
Exactly. Way too much drama too. Venus is now flying under the radar. Watchout.
Agree. Q should have gone home. Two tribals ago. But he is a player and he is blindsiding them all. He's an easy target as he sucks as physical challenges. But I do like it when those that believe they are running the show finally get blindsided. 🤣
