    At the end of the day loyalty is a two way street. We have 2 upcoming X cruises. One in a suite, one in a SV. Last week I booked a third. With Regent. If we like it great. If not will look around again. It also was a good price. Just over £6000 (7 nights) for a concierge cabin so includes flights and pre night stay as well as drinks and excursions.

    Our upcoming Beyond cruise is almost sold out. Imo I don’t think Celebrity will be changing any of their policies anytime soon if ships are sailing full, unless the cruise surveys are scathing then it may give them pause to reflect. Personally I don’t see that happening unless ships are regularly not selling.

    We are in a MC suite on our upcoming cruise. Which was your cabin out of interest? I’m hoping if an issue X will deal with it promptly.

    Ooh a direct aim. Ouch! 😁

    I don’t eat mash. So good for me as more excuse for dessert!

    Thank you for providing the list. I’m an old world wine person but don’t drink Pinot Grigio of old world wines. There are a few there that I could cope with so all good. Apart from from Prime 7, as all Californian, would I be able to ask for an alternative or is that not possible?

    Yes I know sometimes being organised can be a drawback! Goes back to my law years. Never ever be late when attending court! But you are right best laid plans can sometimes thrown in an adventure or two :))) And you so have to be organised with Disney! Thank you @kjbacon - it’s from when my friends and I used to ask if it was 5o clock (pm) yet as it was wine time:))

    I like to be organised. All my excursions diy or ships (if I have OBC) are booked as soon as possible to ensure I get the excursions I want. If we’ve already been somewhere then we will do an alternative to the main attractions.

    Looking to book Regent next year. If I’ve already paid for inclusive shore excursions (it’s in the fare) I would hope to get them so good to know about waitlists and turning up to the theatre however stressful that sounds!

    We are about to book on Regent Splendour for our cruise next October. It’s a 7 night to test the water so to speak. Also as it’s 7 nights I don’t think they will have a formal night.

    Thank you so much your posts have helped me to decide that Regent will definitely be our next cruise booking. Due to dates it will most likely be on The Splendour rather than Mariner but I’ve enjoyed the journey with you.

    We’ve switched our June cruise next year to an SV from a CS so I hope we get the loungers. But who knows with X. They say a weeks a long time in politics. That saying could easily be used for X currently.

    I’d imagine easier to deal with SS requests on M class than say E class.

    Congratulations on your retirement. Firstly I was on Silhouette in May. A Beautiful ship we were in Aqua. We stopped by the bars after excursions and on sea days a couple of times a day and got waters or whatever other drinks we wanted. It didn’t spoil our trip whatsoever. Please don’t worry and have a lovely cruise.

    Also looking for a new home so following here.

    We have downgraded our CS to an SV on Apex next year. The price difference was huge. On our Beyond sailing this year the difference between a suite guarantee and an SV (when AI factored in with OBC) wasn’t huge so I went for the guarantee. Then they cut the butler role 😬.

    Can I ask if there is an included wine list please that you would be able to post if not too difficult to do so. We did blind wine tasting last year, it confirmed what I suspected. I like old world wines not new.

    One of our favourite holidays was staying in a villa at Santo Maris in Oia (10 minute walk to Oia) for a special birthday. The hotel was fabulous and it was Complete bliss in Oia when all ships passengers had left for the day.

    I’ve just looked at my upcoming sailing on Beyond. SS are selling well, but there is a suite guarantee (which is what we have booked) so not sure if move up or actual sales. A few Aqua SS left. A lot of people don’t frequent these boards as pp said so will only find out about reduced butler service on board.

    These reports are fairly damming on the new retreat experience. I’m not blaming the staff but management. While bookings are currently doing well I’m not sure they really care tbh.
  21. wineoclock
    Thank you. I will have a look. Had enquired for a good regent cruise offer but will take a gander now.
  22. wineoclock
    @ladylemondrop I’ve never thought about Fred Olsen. What’s the age roughly of passengers please? And the entertainment? Our neighbours always used to sail with them so I should have done.
  23. wineoclock
    Looking at Regent for next year October. Will check out Cunard as well. Already downgraded our June cruise from a CS to an SV. Shame as would have made E+ if kept CS! We are in MS this October on Beyond so I’ll report back as to changes.

    Horses for courses. I love the Savoy and that type of hotel don’t find them pretentious. I’ve never stayed in a premier inn but have done a fair few travel lodges in my time. Probably why Id rather the Savoy :))

    Thank you for this. Looking at cruising the Mariner in entry level next year. Love your humour. I’ll remember to pack my tote bag 😁
