Oh, and all this time I thought it was based on the weight of the water it displaced.

Seems to me that would defeat the definition and lower price of a Gty room.

According to Sallie, I snore pretty loud.

Unintended consequences? I read somewhere that the ban on DDT (in many places besides the US) actually caused more deaths than the of lives it supposedly saved. Evidently the argument was that the amount of people that died from Malaria rose sharply after DDT was banned.

Who are the tips going to? The IT department? Weird

I think the largest table is 10 or 12 but I see large groups use multiple tables near each other.

How's this for an experiment: Free beer.

Agreed! Some family members booked it and asked us to join them. We haven't made up our minds yet but we probably will. It will be fun regardless of the downsides you mention. (The family is bringing those "kiddos" LOL)

As we "Baby Boomers" age out, there will be less aging in than aging out. Just sayin......

Us too. We have 3 Celebrity cruises booked. See signature block. We might book an Oasis out of FLL for Jan 25 because of a family get together otherwise Oasis would be really low on our list.

We're eyeballing December 2024 and possibly January 2025 as well. We've been booking Celebrity lately.

I'm a Reliability Engineer so I hate to waste money on un-needed maintenance. (Ship's schedule I can understand but keeping the ship in better shape? - better than what? Shouldn't it be in good shape if it's within its periodicity window?)

LOL. Yeah Rusty's .. Perhaps again sometime??

So I must have had 1000 nights too. (Which would have been easy since I essentially stayed in a hotel 4 days a week except for my measly vacations and short weeks due to holidays). Let's see if I did 4 nights a week and 40 weeks a year average, that would be 160. So 160 times 10 that would be 1600 nights in that 10-year period. Thanks for reminding me of my miserable job!! 🙂

OK. Gotcha. I saw Lawn Club but missed the Grill/Porch reference. My bad.... Cheers

Yep. Same here. Sometimes even with people on these threads.

The Equinox has a Lawn Club. Am I missing something?

One of the things I like about Celebrity is the longer cruises. I hope they don't do this across the fleet.

OK. Thanks. So it was still dumb and wasted money scheduling it for 4 years (if not needed for some other reason not stated)..

Absolutely true with one exception that I'm aware of. I'm retired now but I was a road warrior and one day I got a package and a letter in the mail from Hilton saying I was Diamond for Life. It was a nice letter and a gift, but I had no idea it was coming. In fact, I never heard of that level, so I called them to find out why. They told me it was because I made Diamond every year for 10 years straight. I knew then it was time to retire!! 🙂

From the Department of Redundancy Department?

Woo hoo!. If we sail together, we will join you!!!

Woo hoo! Reflection just moved up in ship priority. It needs to come back!! Not that it will help but I will put it on all post-cruise feedback.

Yep it makes for a great day. (In our case it's tacos)

OK then. That is bad news.. Thanks
