Question about the Non Alcoholic package... My son & I drink a lot of water.. If we go to the bar & ask for multiple bottled waters each, they will give us four or more if we ask? I like that Red Bull, Coconut water, sodas, & speciality coffees are also included.. Am I reading/understanding the Non Alcoholic package correctly? We can get as many bottled waters as we want? 

I’ve never tried to ask for four at a time, but there is no limit on the number you can get during the day. So if they balk at giving you four at once, take two and go back a little while later and get two more, as many as you want during the day.

Good heavens, the things people notice and complain about.  Blows my mind sometimes.  I've sailed 81 times on Celebrity, including many back to back cruises, and I never even noticed which songs were playing and definitely didn't care.  It's background music not entertainment per se. Now, the production shows not changing in 10+ years, that's another story.  

If only it WAS background music in Tuscan at breakfast.  It’s only that because I make a fuss and they turn the volume down .  Otherwise it’s loud, harsh,  and unpleasant.

Translation please ...

Those are the song titles

Once upon a Time, and for a very short time, Celebrity did sell coffee cards.  But no more.

Happy to report the port fee credit for missing Porto magically showed up in our account this afternoon. It was a credit of $35.89pp. 

I got zip, nada, nuthin

Well, for those who are looking forward to the special elite happy hour, two or three times per cruise, lower your expectations.

If you are looking for a “drink of the day” or that sort of thing, no. 

there is a nightly captains Club  elite event, for those who are at that tier or above.

You can get the happy hour drinks at many bars, and we have gone to ensemble, passport, sunset bar, and craft social.  Casino bar one night and entertainment court bar once, also

With luck, it might be sooner
 

Still nothing from Celebrity 

I have not, and neither have any of my traveling companions.

horrible choices!!!!🤮🤮🤮

I went there at five expecting to attend the Captains Club happy hour and the door to Sky Lounge was shut. A staff member came out and said they were setting up for the evening’s auction.  All the chairs in the sky lounge have to be moved into rows, and that takes quite a bit of time.  

They will be gone by  Nivember and you won’t have to put up with th

I only know about tonight and it simply didn’t happen.
 

Parkwest is on for two more cruises. The Captains Club hostess and I had a chat about the upcoming cruises, but I won’t be here to see how it plays out. I’ve been on for three cruises and now I go home.

Closed because PW was in it or just closed?

This is very unfortunate. Sky Lounge is a favorite of ours as well! For whatever it’s worth, I would let guest services know. You paid money & selected the Silhouette expecting the beautiful Sky Lounge. We too have had it used for various “other” things as well & are somewhat giving up on the S class. Other issues as well have contributed. 
Enjoy the rest of your cruise. 
 

Management knows. Nothing they can do. Miami signed the contracts.

Well, tonight was supposed to be one of the special Captains Club happy hours in the sky lounge and my friends and I thought we would go it up tonight and we were feeling festive.  We met with a closed door.
 

I’m really sad because this is my favorite ship and we have had amazing service from all staff and crew members, but I can’t give this a great review score on the because of the intrusiveness the Park West scheme

topic is straying a bit..

Do any  other cruise lines close off major  venues  for  pvt events  for long periods?  Large groups csn be annoying but losing space adds to it..

Yes holland America has

As you describe is great. Lots of casual sun dresses for women.  I usually wear decent jeans on the ship as I am often chilly with the a/c… a lightweight hoodie and sneakers. We rarely eat in the MDR so not worried about dressy clothes, but you’ll see everything from nice casual to formal wear.

 

We cruise Celebrity the most, but are branching out to Holland America and find it to be similar, as well as even Royal Caribbean, Princess, and NCL.  Everyone seems to have their preferences in one area or another but we are just happy to be on a ship and cruise in regular verandas, not suites.

And remember that you don’t really have a balcony, just a window.

Ha ha, this reminds me of the worst cruise I ever took in my life, which was over Christmas one year on Costa. I was talked into it by some friends.  There was a playlist of 13 songs, one of which was “grandma got run over by a reindeer”.  Those 13 songs played continuously for the entire cruise.😥😥😥😥😥

And that wasn’t even the worst that we had to endure on that cruise…. But that’s a story for another day.

Meanwhile, if Tuscan would just stop playing these songs, it would be a great start
