Celebrity is my favourite cruise line - so this article saddens me. They already have butler service to suites and priority embarkation. Blu is the allocated restaurant for Aquaclass pax and that's about as much segregation as I can handle. I've read that some cruise ships in the Mediterranean, even have sections of the night club that are just for First Class pax. No, no, no. I would deliberately not sail on a ship, that had this level of class segregation. If Celebrity were to implement these changes, & I was travelling in a Suite, I would still have dinner in the main dining room.

As I travel with my sons, I recently found a "pop-up" laundry bag, very useful. The boys put their dirties in the hamper, it's easily carried to the laundry room, (instead of stuffing your laundry into cruise shop plastic bags & your dirty laundry looks the same as everyone else's!) They are very compact to put in your suitcase and don't take up a lot of room in the corner of your cabin.

I also pack one of those hanging (octopus) things, that has all the pegs dangling of it - great for hanging in the shower recess overnight & drying swimmers, nickers, bras, socks etc.
