What year was that? Jeans and button shirts are listed in Celebrity's published suggested dress guidelines for the MDR in the evening no matter the evening. Not a recent change either.
My understanding is if a Diamond couple separates, no matter how, they maintain their Diamond tier level. A separated Diamond could be Diamond with less than the required CAS points due to marriage or living together. They will stay at that tier level until they reach the required CAS points to progress to Diamond Plus. Good question to ask the LA on your next cruise.
Yes. Still a perk for Elite and above. On M & S class ships, it's held in the Tuscan Grille. On the E class ships it's usually held in Le Grand Bistro. 8 to 10 AM every morning. Michael's Club is now the Retreat Lounge.
I always wear shorts and a golf/polo shirt the first evening in the MDR. After that I put my big boy pants on with a golf/polo style shirt and dress IAW Celebrity's very relaxed suggest dress guidelines. Remind your kids who paid for the cruise and their other options.
I was once called a chair hog here on CC because I posted once I plant my butt in the lounger I stay in it for as long as I want. No time limit. That person thought after 1 to 2 hours max I should leave and let someone else use the lounger. 🤣 I did advise that person I am a card carrying HOG member. Different club though. Matter of fact I should wear my HOG T-shirt on our next cruise.
You will have a CAS tier level with zero CAS cruise points. Based on what you posted your CAS tier level is in their system. You will receive a detailed letter in your cabin outlining all your CAS tier level benefits/perks for your specific cruise.
And there are those times when I wanted a drink and there wasn't a roaming bar server in sight so I had to leave my lounger, go down to the pool bar and stand in line at the over crowed, under staffed pool bar, to get my beer.
