JJSAsail Posted April 21, 2014 #151 Share Posted April 21, 2014 We do enjoy a concierge lounge (most recently on Disney Fantasy), but Michael's doesn't seem to be suited well for that purpose. Location is the drawback. We like to stop into the lounge on the way back to the room or pop in for a morning coffee but our suite for our upcoming Infinity cruise is deck 6 aft and Michaels is deck 4 forward. Honestly, I can't see us using it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 21, 2014 #152 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Normally the cocktail hour for Elite & Elite Plus is held in the Sky lounge (that is what it is called on S class ships - Millennium class ships each have their own name for it). That is the glass enclosed lounge on the top deck at the front of the ship. If there are too many Elite / Elite Plus members (like on a TA) there will be vouchers. Our next booked cruises are on Reflection and Connie......where is the a.m. coffee and mini breakfast held on each of these ships ? It. has been in Tuscan for S class...not sure about M class.....although we enjoy breakfast in Blu, we like to stop in for coffeee and danish some days. glad to see the old wine area being put to better use...we liked the space better than Michaels on the S class ships...less familar with M class since they were Solsticized....

TravelerThom Posted April 21, 2014 #153 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You may detect that I am not a Perry Grant fan..............so I consider any deck he is screaching his songs on a poop deck....................but some people love his humor in insulting others............Each to their own and X will continue to book him BUT WHY ALWAYS ON THE SAME SHIP is my point?I am neither a fan, nor do I go out of my way to avoid Perry - I generally go to ONE of his shows when I am on the ship he is on. Having Perry always on the same ship makes it easy for his fans (and he does draw people who specifically book to sail with him) to know where to find him, and it makes it easy for people who adamantly want to avoid him. IMO Makes a LOT more sense than moving him around. Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welland Posted April 21, 2014 #155 Share Posted April 21, 2014 No TA's for the time being. We had two bad flight experiences in 2013 and are avoiding cruises that require air (we live in FL). We will see how long that lasts - we do have future cruises booked that require air. Tom Sorry to hear about you had two bad flight experiences. Many cruisers try to avoid flights; especially long ones. You are lucky that you live in FL; lots to choose from. Enjoy your travels, wherever they take you.

Zenith Cruiser Posted April 22, 2014 #158 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Sailing soon 5/26 -- where's the beer!!!!!!!????? Cellar Masters for the stuff previously in Michael's, just about any bar for the common stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chi_scotty Posted April 23, 2014 #159 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Cellar Masters for the stuff previously in Michael's, just about any bar for the common stuff. Good thing we booked the aft facing Aqua class cabin on deck 11, directly above the sunset bar.....I plan on bringing a rope and borrowing a bucket to lower over the balcony directly onto the bar (even though the stairs leading down to the bar are right outside our door).......but I guess I'll have to stagger forward a bit to get the specialty beers, that is unless I can convince the bartender at Sunset to haul a few specialty brews aft......but, glad they will still have them for us "common folk" in cellar masters! :D Edited April 23, 2014 by chi_scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgparent Posted April 24, 2014 #162 Share Posted April 24, 2014 We just got off the Connie and only used it 3 times, once when we were escorted there on embarkation day, then the 2nd day of the cruise and then this morning while we waited to disembark. My wife did book a spa thing at the last minute through the concierge. I thought the food would be awesome, but it was not anything really special. The shrimp were just those little regular ones, they had sandwiches etc, nothing special. The concierge was awesome, very friendly. The newspaper flyers were cool they had one for the US one for Canada and one for Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisalovlee33 Posted April 26, 2014 #167 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) The April 2015 date is the official beginning of additional suite benefits.Michael's Club will no longer be available for most passengers by the end of April. Only Solstice and Millennium, presently in the Pacific, will not be converted to the specialty lounge until May. The conversion to a concierge/suite/Zenith lounge began with Century in February and should be completed by the end of May 2014. We're sailing May 10 on Millennium. Any idea if the conversion will be completed then? Edited April 26, 2014 by lisalovlee33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moobaby214 Posted April 26, 2014 #168 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We're sailing May 10 on Millennium. Any idea if the conversion will be completed then? We are on the same sailing and are curious too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiltonK Posted May 1, 2014 #169 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I see cars listed in our local newspaper/TV daily for lease at $199/month. Then I go to the dealer and find out that price is only for ........ 'sorry, you do not qualify.' This is something that really is false advertising, too. However, I still lease a car since I want one and need one. If you need a cruise or want a cruise, you must accept their terms or go else where. We do have a choice. Was their a disclaimer on the ad? Did we not learn in grade school to "read the fine print"? If there was not a disclaimer, then you are right, false advertising. BUT, odds are that somewhere on the ad it told you that some rebates are included in the price that you have to qualify for. Sue the Public School system for people who won't read the details, I say :) Better yet go to the dealer, and do like you do at Walmart or the Apple Store: Pay the full sticker price, pay cash, and that's it. No false advertising needed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hammo Posted May 9, 2014 #170 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Has anyone recently returned on Silhouette and can let us know if the original Michaels Club concept -- the Boutique beers / Whiskies etc -- has been assimilated into the Cellar Masters area or any other area on the ship now that the Michaels Club is a no-go-zone for us 2nd class passengers?:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scifimonkey Posted May 9, 2014 #173 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just off the Constellation yesterday. Michael's has been converted to PH, RS, CS and Zenith only. It was wonderful. No offense meant to anyone but you get what you pay for. Concierge was excellent. I highly recommend this experience. What food was available in the new Michael's suites/zenith lounge?

C 2 C Posted May 9, 2014 #174 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What food was available in the new Michael's suites/zenith lounge? Scaled down Elite breakfast offerings offered in Tuscan. Continental breakfast with juices, same drink options such as bloody mary and mimosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
