Are Platinum's still getting the chocolate covered strawberries?

[crusinpsychRN]

It's been such a long time we've been getting these it's time they change it up. I give mine away.

We sailed the Conquest on Jan 3rd and we got strawberries - delish as always!

The last plate we got were puny and pathetic.

They have been getting smaller and smaller, not exactly something to get excited about they are rather puny.

We got the chocolate plate last year about this time, a couple strawberries, some cookies and something else that apparently didn't impress me or I'd remember it.

I got them last week on the Breeze. Our gift was a Carnival travel bag. Love it!

[Sue Do-Over]

We either get sticky, mushy strawberries, or a plate of chocolate desserts... a couple of cookies, a couple pieces of chocolate candy, and a gooey gelatin kind of cube of something. We'd rather just have a plate of cookies!

[jmcancruise]

Just curious as to when they are delivered?

DW is allergic to strawberries, so even if we get them, they are immediately taken out of the cabin and placed in the hall. Such a waste of money. CCL, should provide options or an opt out feature to avoid the waste.

Last year on the Sunshine we received only one plate. Both of us are platinum and have always gotten one plate each. When I asked about it at guest services I was told that it is policy for only one plate when 2 platinums are in one cabin. I had never had this happen before. Granted I was going to give one plate to my husband's sister in another cabin---but----if both are platinum both should receive the plates. We both got the gifts and pins.

I didn't get the plate on my Oct. 31st Pride cruise. It may have been a case of room steward not delivering or having otherwise been missed somehow. I didn't miss them though. More food would be the last thing I would need!

[WAHMto5]

We still did in September, I love them!

I received the chocolate plate on my Conquest sailing this past November. It was a nice plate so I could sample something sweet.

You can always let them know at guest services if you don't want the strawberries. They might even give you something else.

That's not the policy. Two Plats = two plates. But, IMO not worth the time to complain.

[vizman274]

Just off the Glory yesterday, My wife and I received one desert plate delivered to our cabin, no strawberries, none on ship.

[jmcancruise]

I work in the grocery business. Major shortage in strawberries available for sale in our area. Perhaps this is the reason for just one plate per room. DH and I will both be platinum on our next sailing, I would be rather put out if we only got one plate between us.

[idlenote]

We have always got one plate for the two of us which is just fine, that way we only have to give the one uneaten plate back to the steward the next morning.

Interesting. I wonder if it's because I'm traveling with my domestic partner (20 years) separate last names, two males, both Platinum. Either way, it is one choc. strawberry plate, bottle water, pin, gift, drink coupon, etc. per Platnum. If you didn't get two of them, you have every right to ask for the second one.

[ebear22]

We got one plate for both of us ( both platinum.) Last month on the Dream the strawberries were moldy on the top so check before eating.

[Retired_to_Cruise]

We took four cruises last year (2015) and were on a B2B on the Breeze over the last two weeks this month and received the plates (one for each of us) every single cruise. There were no strawberries the last two weeks, but that is probably due to the scarcity of that fruit right now. Every other time we had them and they were big and juicy.

I'm grateful for the strawberries. I think it is a nice gift and my husband loves them.
