We met Maya once. She was absolutely wonderful. Great at her job and a good sense of humor.  No one has compared to her.since. Do you know where she is now?

Once again, Ma Bell, you hit the nail directly on the head.  I agree - who cares how or why someone attained Zenith level.  BUT not all Zeniths feel that way.  The way it was explained to me was this:  If someone were to sail on 10-night cruises in the PH they would be Zenith after 17 cruises.  However, if that person sailed in Balcony cabins he or she would need to sail 100 times to attain Zenith level.  Some folks feel that 17 cruises does not make you LOYAL to the brand whereas 100 cruises does make you loyal to the brand.   

 

I have a similar sailing history as you do.  My first Celebrity cruise was in the early 90's.  I've sailed Celebrity almost exclusively since then because I thought, and still think, that Celebrity offers me what I'm looking for.  Has it changed since the 90's?  Sure it has - but what hasn't??  I was never able to take advantage of "last minute deals" as I was working.  I started sailing in inside cabins then gradually moved up to outside, balcony, and more recently have been lucky enough to sometimes sail in suites.  Would I have attained Zenith by now if I wasn't lucky enough to sail in suites?  I don't know!!  Probably not!  But who cares.  Status means nothing to me  and I'm happy with the free beverage package and free internet!  (Although I will say in my younger days I would have benefited from the "free drinks" perk but as I got older I find I can't drink like I did when I was younger!!! LOL)

 

 

I was in 8123. The cabin was OK. I did not like the balcony as it was too small to enjoy. Will not cruise on the Edge again.

Murano was open for one of the sea days. The cost was $25 per person. There was an appetizer, lunch item and dessert. Live music was being played. Portions were light but of high quality. Appetizers included seared scallops, crab salad, celery root soup. Lunch items were lamb chops, lobster tail, loup de mer, and filet mignon. There were tarts and chocolate souffle for dessert.

i was told on the May cruise on Summit, it was not cost effective to serve lunch so they discontinuted the lunch.

I booked the TA on board doing a TA with gratitudes as a perk. Celebrity would not honor the perk when I rebooked a TA on the Reflection. Disappointed in Celebrity.

I have booked this TA also hoping for a price drop. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
