Gordoncruickshank Posted November 16, 2015 #201 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Zeniths receive the Premium Package. The problem of overcrowding will be mainly on the S Class ships,particularity Reflection. Some talk about using "staggered hours" for different groups. MC on current Connie cruise is pretty packed in the evenings. I can tell you that at least on this cruise it's not about drinks, but rather some very lively discussion. Apologies I should have checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules815 Posted November 16, 2015 #203 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If my 5-day this coming March on Connie is anything like my cruise last year during college spring break on a RC ship, MC shouldn't be crowded at all. Although it might be the only place that week to get a drink that isn't crowded. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it might be the only place that week to get a drink that isn't crowded. :eek: We sailed RC last year (4 days during spring break, it was even marketed as collegepartycruise.com and while the pool was crowded, it was not as bad as the scene's we heard described on the Constellation. We did our own thing, at on Nassau one night and in specialty dining the other nights and thought the kids were pretty good, even if there were a lot of them.

CHEZMARYLOU Posted November 16, 2015 #206 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sailing in a CS on Reflection in January. I was really looking forward to some quiet/civilized time in MC during the cruise. A little nervous now that Sky Suites are permitted to use MC. Wouldn't be concerned on other ships but since Reflection needs to take into account double the amount of Sky Suites (former AQ Suites), I anticipate it is going to be mayhem in MC around dinnertime. Would love to hear from X on how they plan on handling the crowds since not all ships are created equal when implementing this new benefit. Does anyone have a photo of MC on Reflection? Does anyone know the legal limit of guests that can use MC at one time vs. the number of suites passengert that might be on the ship? Thanks Here's a link to photos of MC on Reflection. http://gallery.cruisecritic.com/ships/celebrity-reflection-621/michaels-club-132091/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcruiser1234 Posted November 16, 2015 #207 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I like it We really enjoy the Corner S1 suites and moving them into the full suite category will be nice. Hey it may actually bring the cost down a bit on CS and above for those who like the extra room.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the butler brought was not much better than what I could go get in Ocean View. Looking forward to getting the new "Delectable Delights" next cruise as they look fab.

I will stay positive for the moment, but these upgrades begin in December and I am already wondering how much they will change by January! LOL. Maybe we will only get them on sea days and not port days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2bespoiled Posted November 16, 2015 Author #212 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Six lollipop lamb chops and (I'm guessing here) salmon rolls - look quite nice. I personally love Lamb Lollipops but do not think this is a good item to deliver to cabins, there is NO way to keep it warm long enough from the butiler's pantry's to the cabins. Maybe served in MC if they figure out a way to keep them warm and not dry out. Salmon rolls on the other hand, nice choice, easier to keep cold / room temperature, just don't wait too long to eat. What about an improvement on the continental breakfast in Luminae, especially on disembarkation? It's pretty much a joke and if Luminae is not open early enough for an early excursion, that leaves room services, which is usually good, but not always, except of course the last morning...

jagoffee Posted November 16, 2015 #213 Share Posted November 16, 2015 As those in RS and higher have the premium beverage package, only those in CS, Zeniths and VIP may not have had any beverage package. Michael's Club is not used because of free drinks but because the ambiance and company were good. If Celebrity shortens the time for free drinks or removes them we will surely find out how many people were using it for the free drinks. Wanna bet?

kenevenpar Posted November 16, 2015 #214 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Did we confirm the 1 or 2 (depending on length of cruise) specialty restaurant gratis? I think it applies to both SS and CS (others get unlimited?). As someone posted, it is listed on the higher level suites, but no mention on SS & CS.

Wanna bet? The only ones able to use Michaels's without a package are those in Celebrity Suites and the VIP guests. If Celebrity stops the free drinks, that would solve the potential issue of people who use the room for free drinks. I have never been on a Celebrity Cruise without a Beverage Package and if they stop the complimentary drink part it would reduce any pressure in Michael's. I think Michael's changes when the ship does transatlantic and transpacific cruises as the long periods that people are on ship draws them to the area. We have one one Caribbean and one European cruise with Michael's access and have never had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colliercruiser Posted November 16, 2015 #217 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Just modified my previously booked March 2015 Caribbean cruise (already in a Celebrity suite), changing to this new suite promotion. Now I have the full Go-Best promo and saved $330 compared to my original reservation. In addition to the free unlimited internet for 2 and free gratuities for 2, they added 2 premium beverage packages and $150 OBC per person. No complaints here!

bonedoc7 Posted November 17, 2015 #221 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I would call your travel agent directly (or celebrity if you booked with them). I think its a web issue that shows all suites sold out. The site is having issues with the new promotion and pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the case for you, were all suites sold out & you were still able to get this deal? We had booked a Celebrity suite for our March 2016 cruise while on our recent TA cruise via the future bookings office. But that was based on the old promo, so I requested that it be redone today for the new suite promo. Much better deal.

I didn’t look at your particular sailing, but we looked at 3 different ones and the X site was out of sync with the actual available inventory. No ours are sold. I check them on an online site which shows which actual cabins are unsold, so that when I book I know exactly which cabins are available. What I see there always seems to tie up with what our TA sees. I just checked our cruise a minute ago and one CS has appeared, which I would have been interested in before the change (we are in an S1). There was one S2 last week but apart from these which must be due to cancellations, there has been nothing since before the summer. I just checked the Celebrity sire and the same cabin is available there.
