(Michael's Club renamed) Yes, there is a “traditional” bar on the Retreat pool deck. However, inside the Retreat Lounge there is no “bar”. Drinks are poured and prepared behind closed doors on the Edge. This will change on Apex as a “traditional” bar will be added to the Retreat Lounge. You get what you pay for, if you book a suite, you are entitled to enjoy the Retreat Pool deck and Luminae. I also think this off topic discussion should be moved to a new thread. 😉 Edited March 15, 2019 by C-Dragons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcruising Posted March 15, 2019 #1153 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just to make sure it is clear so that other Zeniths reading this will know that the Retreat Lounge on the Edge has the same excellent top shelf bar service as Michael's, but without a free-standing bar. I had drinks with a person who is Zenith in that lounge. We both missed the free-standing bar, but enjoyed our drinks (and looking forward to the reported Retreat Lounge Bar on the Apex). There are also all the other benefits of the Retreat Lounge for Suite, Zenith and other VIPs: the self-serve coolers of sodas, waters, etc., continental breakfast, coffee machine (latte, cappuccino, etc.), an afternoon tea and sushi and other bites in the evening. There is also a lovely outside deck that is part of the Retreat Lounge for eating, drinking, reading and conversing. The Retreat Pool Deck Bar is not free for suite guests either - you need to give them your Sea Pass card when ordering drinks. Most suite guests have Go Best so not an issue, but some don't for whatever reason (lower suites on TA's or Move Up, for example) and would have drinks charged to their cards. Okay, back to the original topic. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cruised many times with him on Royal Caribbean and once on Celebrity. I have a cruise on Equinox and one on Solstice soon and had hoped he might be cd on one of them. As far as we are aware Rich has returned to life on shore. He posted on his Instagram feed in December a photograph and the following text; "Last night I hosted my final show on a ship. It is now time to be home with my family. Thank-you so much for all of my family and friends that have been so much support during this time, your words of encouragement mean more to me than I can ever tell you. It has been a hell of a ride. Picture is me hosting my first show on the Grandeur of the Seas 1997. 21 years on ships and now looking forward to the next 21 years..." Hope this answers your question. We will miss him.

C 2 C Posted March 15, 2019 Author #1155 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Captain Theo Zakkas may soon be back as master .. perhaps Millennium. He was one of the captains that stayed with Century when it was sadly moved to the China market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there will be a temporary assignment to takeover from Captain Skylogianis until Capt. Nick arrives. However past postings have changed with little warning and affecting a whole bunch of dominoes. Captain Kate's replacement on Equinox has not been announced as yet either.

I have no idea if Jamie will be back on board in 5 months, but at the bottom of post 1166 GottaKnowWhen posted that Alejandro will be back on board the Eclipse from 24th March which just delighted me 🎉🎉. Alejandro was on the Eclipse in the Med on our October cruise and looks like he’ll be with the ship for our Alaskan cruise in May 🤞. He’s hilarious - and so smart too.
