Rare cruisestitch Posted February 15, 2015 #176 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Michaels Club was NOT named for Michael Bayley. It was called that long before he came to X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfun48 Posted February 15, 2015 Author #177 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think it was named for the Michael who rowed the boat ashore, allelujah ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidik Posted February 15, 2015 #178 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I strolled by the Art Studio on the Reflection just now and saw that the craft project was melting down the leftover slivers of soap from the prior cruise and pouring the liquid soap into molds to make "new" bars. I was surprised at the allowance of an open flame during this process but was advised it was ok because the art instructor was Australian and this is not a transatlantic voyage. I also observed a group of passengers sitting in the Ocean Cafe working on putting new labels on a huge pile of the new soap bars. When I asked them why they, as passengers, were doing this, they replied they were offered a cabin upgrade or extra jimmies on their ice cream if they volunteered to do this.....most were opting for the jimmies. I was jealous and wished Celebrity had announced this in last night's Celebrity Today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akowilm Posted February 15, 2015 #181 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thank you, Rich.....I was going to flame, but you did it for me! Speaking of flame, I thought that the fires could only be manned by Russians and were ONLY allowed on the Transatlantics....when will these "Modern Luxury" changes end? For the love of PETE!

lightning bolt Posted February 15, 2015 #183 Share Posted February 15, 2015 . It turns out that in the 1930s the Just Born candy company (the same folks that bring us Peeps) were cranking out boatloads of sprinkles. The guy who operated the sprinkle-making machine was named Jimmy. People started calling them “Jimmies” and the name stuck. I’m still not sure how it became a regional thing but whatever. It’s a good story.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted February 15, 2015 #184 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) I've heard they're converting Michael's Club into a clothing optional facility similar to Deck 14 of the old Celebrity Mercury. (See Attached Pic) And please no wise cracks about the sign on the right. ;) Edited February 15, 2015 by ChucktownSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varoo Posted February 15, 2015 #186 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Michaels Club was NOT named for Michael Bayley. It was called that long before he came to X. You are so right.Obviously it was named for my son Michael, since they had the sign saying Michael's Club in place to welcome him when he boarded for his first Celebrity cruise. That was long before we ever heard of Michael Bayley. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your talking about the Jimmy Fund? :confused:I think that might account for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Tartan Posted February 16, 2015 #188 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I believe Michael's Club is named after: Michael Chandris, of the family that established Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story. I know, I'm on the Connie immediately following the 2/2016 cruise. Someone from our roll call accidentally posted on that one first. Boy was she surprised when she found out. I just hope they do a very thorough cleaning after that cruise. :eek: BTW they're cruising 2/6=2/16/16 Edited February 16, 2015 by ChucktownSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised at the allowance of an open flame during this process but was advised it was ok because the art instructor was Australian and this is not a transatlantic voyage. Perhaps they could auction off the soap bars as they do the glass pieces created on S-Ships. Or could they be moulded into interesting figures?

However I went to the sponsor website and I've got to say, their pictures show a lot much better looking crowd than I've ever seen in naturalist pixxxs. ;) I was considering leaving my DW home and booking just myself! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I still say they're sprinkles, not jimmies. They're Sprinkles on Celebrity Cruises and Jimmies on Disney Cruises after the kids double dip their melting ice cream cone into the dish. Then you have to Jimmie them apart to get yours. :p I wonder what happens when somebody yells "bottoms up" at the bar during this cruise? Cheeky!!!!!
