Would you like it where you could sign in and out and use your 24 hours over multiple days? Rather than 24 continuous hours.

This is not only on RCI. This change in evening dress has changed on other cruise lines too. Very casual today!

You may also bring your own! Doesn't weight too much. I like Costco Kirkland brand. Many articles on the Internet say you should not wipe more than three wipes. I'm trying that. Still working on it.

Wish it were where we could sign on & off to use the 24 hr period to our advantage to string it over days. Instead of a continuous 24 hours.

The main paragraph I totally disagree with is the one I kept from your posting. I know it is true, however, it is one that should be changed since it is RCI policy/procedures and not Ship decisions. Any Corporation should have standard (SOP) that apply to all. This causes confusion, mistrust, complaints and Urinated Passengers. LOL

Yes, another reduction. However, we will still cruise X and on the Beyond in July B2B.

Yes, they removed the TIPS for the crew! Very expensive package now compare to other cruise lines which include much more.

Another reason the CC Roll Calls are not as busy as before is that many people are using other social media to start new Roll Calls.

JMHO! FOOD is very subjective! If you only cruise one cruise line you have made up your own mind on the quality, selection, presentation, quantity, etc. of the food on that cruise line. Your opinion may be excellent to poor. That is based on your taste. If you cruise on more than one cruise line, you have something to compare Cruise Line food against. We cruise most cruise lines and have no favorite. They each have their pluses and minuses. However, they all, repeat, All have cut back in all aspects of food, entertainment, loyalty perks, etc. They all have increased prices in all aspects of cruise costs, drinks, Speciality Restaurants, etc. Will this change? Yes, they will continue to cutback, increase prices and more. What can we do? You and I have a choice. Spend your money wisely, find the best price and get the best bang for your buck. It's your money, your choice. If you want to cruise, accept what is offered. We cannot change what they do. People make suggestions daily on these forums and some people agree, others don't want change. 'I don't want that big ship or I don't want to change Happy Hour with my cruise line. Leave it as it is as I'm happy the way it is.' We have many Cruise Lines to pick from. Now, it's our choice. Happy Cruising!

Thanks for your opinion.

Ok, let Zenith keep whatever they have. So, I will correct my post to apply only to Elite and Elite+. Does this satisfy your remark?

I know this is Celebrity & some people will not want Celebrity to become RCI. I also know that I can cruise on RCI to get this perk. However, my personal opinion is that this RCI perk would be very beneficial to all of us who cruise on Celebrity. This would really be a plus to improve and increase our perks. Rather than reduce them as this new change has done. I'm on the Beyond in July 2024 and would love to see this implemented. Elite 4 drinks, Elite 5 drinks & Zenith 6 drinks anytime during the day at any bar, MDR or Special Restaurant. What's your opinion?

Can you take it out of HH Lounge? 😆 LOL

MPO! If you are not a drinker $85PPPD is too much. Celebrity had a package last year that included tips, Classic, & Wi-Fi for that price or less. Celebrity is high on their drinks compare to the other lines. Princess has 2 packages that include much more for $60 or $80! I cite that just as example as we cruise both lines and do compare. Others may not be aware of the differences. It's your choice and you do have a choice.

My opinion. We are Diamond+ on RCI, Elite+ on Celebrity, & top levels on other lines. We don't cruise for perks as they are diminishing each year. There is no one cruise line that's the best. Each provide pluses & minuses. A 3 or 4 day cruise is not a true cruise as you are getting on one day unpacking getting to dinner. The next day you have a day or 2. Then you are packing to go home. Enjoy Cruising and try other lines to see different ships, entertainment, food, ports. A Crown Lounge with 4 drinks is not worth your time & money. JMHO

Getting ready to go into 5pm MDR. on Enchanted and it's White & Gold night tonight. Only problem is - very few people dressed in W&G.

On Enchanted and having WnG tonight and had it last cruise, too. Still alive! Not too many people participate.

Passengers on Enchanted dressed as if it were a Smart Casual night. Very few participated in W&G.

Asked our waiter and he said no extra charge if you double up on one or other.

Will check tomorrow.

On the Enchanted tonight, 10\29. Surf & Turf. Extra portion $10 each. It is White & Gold night. Very, very few dressed as such. More like Casual!

We agree. However, we have only celebrating our 61st Wedding Anniversary on the Enchanted next month. Happy Cruising!

FYI - May not be valid now. $150/person https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2915718-is-the-ultimate-ship-tour-back/

Check other cruise lines and you will see they all did the same thing. $$$$$$$

We will be on the Enchanted Princess next month 21 day Med cruise celebrating our 61st Wedding Anniversary. Would have done the renewal, but used that $1,600 to buy some tours. Happy Cruising!
