Do any other cruise lines offer no smoking in any interior venue including the casino?

Do Pinnacles still get 3 bottles of wine of their choice in cabin? Do P's still get breakfast in a specialty restaurant? I understand that P's no longer get to access the Suite lounge, except on a limited basis, depending on how many P's are on board. And even so have pay for drinks with drink vouchers. Meal with officer?

Very limited books in library on S class, many in languages other than English. I have never seen what I would consider a children's book in any of the libraries.

Celebrity and RCI both dock at Crown Bay as RCI signed a 10 year contract with them about 2016.

Are all YC cabins suites, or can you book a balcony cabin and also be in the YC, please?

Any info as to specific areas for smoking? I assume near the pool and in the casino. How about inside bars? Smoking allowed at any of those?

What is the smoking vs. non-smoking policy on MSC, please? Any differences in the Yacht Club?

Post #55 is on board now and confirms no lobster or filet on any night menu, and salmon and shrimp cocktail only every other night. This is shameful. Thank goodness we are in a suite for our next two cruises; after that we may try MSC yatch club or Oceania. Or why not a luxury line for the cost of suites on X?

This is completely unacceptable. Sounds like you may as well cruise RCI, which we did for years before discovering Celebrity, which was, a few years ago, so much classier. Just drop these from the MDR if necessary. That is better than this cheapo move. I hope everyone on any cruise that includes this on the menu goes to the Hotel Director to express their dissatisfaction. Or as Mick would say, "I can't get no..."

It really irritates me when I see people taking up tables in OVC or Al Bacio to play cards. There is a card room on deck 9 by the mid ship elevators on S class ships. And the tables around the World Class bar are not used during the day. Plenty of room there for card playing. And there 's the Sky lounge as well during the day.

Yes, and EQ has the large TV's that you can hook up your devices to as well.

Do we still have to call X after we credit miles from our card to the desired sailing? A year ago or so, I had to call X after I used the portal from my CC to credit my account using miles. Two years ago, the discount credit showed up on my account as it should using the portal alone.

Mast Grill usually closes at 6 PM.

We do this on roulette with non-refundable OBC every cruise. Lots of fun and we always win at least a little and sometimes, a lot!

That looks very impressive. I am neither vegetarian nor vegan. But I love veggies and will be trying some of those dishes next cruise. I always enjoy the Indian food which is often vegetable.

Music and Mixology was on EQ in late April and early May.

Is the Silly Retreat Sun Deck accessible only by stairs as on EQ? That is a real design flaw. So unfair that those with mobility issues in suites cannot use the Sun Deck.

Any time you cancel or change a segment of the FBC booking, they have to cancel the entire booking and make all new reservations. I have used them a lot for the slightly better pricing (domestic) and the delayed payment. I like that we can change or cancel before final payment with no penalty. I always shop the airlines before calling and advise what flights I am interested in. Then I ask if they have another suggestion.

We've been in 1075 on sister ship Equinox. Perfect cabin with huge balcony. Elevators are around the corner and have no effect at all.

The older you are, the more the travel insurance costs. We now go with X's insurance as others are way too much for us in our 80's. Celebrity's insurance is based on the cost of the cruise, not age. We now only travel in the Caribbean.

If you have the drinks package, no need to stick with the limited Happy Hout menu. All drinks are covered any time up to the $ limit for your package. Drinks everywhere on the ship are covered. T here is no Captain's Club lounge like the Diamond lounges on RCI.

BTW, Aqua class cabins are the same size as all veranda cabins. They are not like RCI's Jr. Suites.

I've read so many posts like this over the years, but I have never experienced this on X ships. And if I ever do, i would just do as above. Say not interested and move on.

This was a special event for Elite and above pax in Sky Lounge. This is held usually only once or twice a cruise between 5-7. Thankfully, other nights at that time the Sky Lounge is open to all, no dress code and no appetizers. Even tho' we have recently been in suites, we prefer the Sky Lounge for our before dinner drinks.

OK. I have to finally ask what upside down pineapples mean?
