Up thread I mentioned that I am not eating in the MDR at all on this cruise, only the buffet.  Sorry, can’t answer your question, ATAKKAT

Was Michael’s Club staffed during breakfast, and afternoon tea time?

Two weeks ago - S class. This may account for the fact the the lounge wax almost always empty 

So you weren’t on Constellation?

I've done plenty of b2b on Celebrity but for my upcoming Nov cruise, i noticed this code on my free casino cruise:
tzf7-b2bsav 50

 

Leg1:

 

Leg2:

 

Each Leg has a different RSVP #.

The $50 discount applied to my port fees.taxes. 🙂

(That's the only charge for that leg)

 

I will definitely ask to have this code put on for future b2b.

Is this code new?

No it isn’t new.  I’m surprised to see it attached to a free cruise, though

On our cruise the bartender was only there between those hours. 

I wasn’t with you so I don’t want to cast aspersions on your answer, but normally the bartenders are there from morning until late.   

Yes, they do, but I haven’t been able to ascertain any schedule. We have had German, Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek.
 

There seem to be one or two Indian entrées every night, even when that’s not the evening theme.

Just off constellation and I can confirm there is NO retreat sun deck! We were sailing in a retreat suite and I am afraid to say it was not worth the extra money. The only benefits are the retreat lounge, Luminae and the butler. we felt the food in Luminae was not that impressive and ordered most of our courses of the MDR menu. Free drinks in The retreat lounge between 5 and 7 but as you are on the drinks  package this meant nothing. 

Retreat lounge is not limited to serving the included beverages between five and seven. You can order them anytime the doors are open and there’s a bartender at work😀

So if the head office in Miami tells the Hotel Manager to poison the food does he do it?  

Reductio ad absurdum

People have cobbled things like this together, because bringing a black shower curtain and such epitomizes modern luxury 🤪

How was your day in Charlottetown yesterday?  The weather was picture perfect for an October day on Pei. DW and I met up with a couple we meet on Silhouette 9 years ago and took them for a tour around our beautiful city and surrounding area. 

 

Did you hear the news of the excursion bus full of Eclipse passengers that struck and killed a woman in downtown Charlottetown only a few minutes from leaving port?

How awful…..we heard nothing here on board, which is not unusual 

It’s probably too soon to know and you can’t book hotels yet anyway

I am traveling with some friends who have some very specific food needs so we are eating in the Oceanview Café every night for dinner, not going to the dining room.

there is a carving station and a variety of hot side dishes, each night, hamburgers, and hotdogs, and some other grilled items, pizza and pasta, extensive salad bar, and desserts, and some Indian and Asian selections.. We have been very satisfied with the variety and the quality. 
 

The screenshot you posted has two accessible tour and two regular tours.  Perhaps the other regular tours are sold out

I think many are unaware that there is a search function and of course if the OP had searched for “instant veranda”!that would have come up empty

I believe some shortages are now due to procuring relief supplies for flood victims

….^^^……
😀👍😀👍😀

Expect turkey on Thanksgiving, then decorations rollout starting around 1 December.  It may not be fully decorated by the time you get off, but you should see some holiday decor.

Shoot for glamour and sophistication and you can’t go wrong

Right—jacket not required.  That said, most men ( in the dining room) were wearing a jacket last night.  Were they glamorous and sophisticated?  Many were, I suppose.

on the other hand, men in the buffet were decidedly more casual.

It is a stateroom with a window that opens.

It would only take a quick Google search to learn that almost all toilet paper used in the US is made in the US. From US and Canadian wood products. If that becomes a shortage, it's truly artificial...

 

Unfortunately most coffee is imported through the impacted ports. I guess we could find out how many days of supply are already in place...

And how much comes into west coast ports, unaffected by the strike

I wonder if OP misread and meant  "LATEST boarding time is 4pm"...that seems logical to me.

The OP clearly said a 4 pm arrival time was assigned

There are ports all over the world and each has different arrangements.  For instance, I am on Eclipse right now sailing out of Boston.  Today we are at Prince Edward Island, a port unaffected by any dockworkers strikes, so supplies could easily be brought aboard here, if needed.
