True Modern Luxury

[WonderMan3]

Nothing says “Modern Luxury” to me more than dining at a desk...

 

 

[mom says]

You consider  room service breakfast in your bathrobe to be dining??

It’s especially luxurious when a couple tries to eat together. And families? What a joke.

If I saw my wife smiling at a plate of fruit like the woman in the pic I'd throw my shoe at her from across the cabin and ask her what the hell was wrong with her ......

[hcat]

That's what it's come to...The Hoppen way to go!

Ultimate luxury is dining in the designer slippers that are on the bed when you enter your room.  Do I see those on her feet?

[ecslady]

I see those slippers. LOL

 

But I want to know is where does her partner or cabin mate sit? Or is it just breakfast for one?

LOL, that is the reason she is smiling, I would guess... not in the picture!

 

bon voyage

Maybe she's eating his breakfast.😜

Notice how those slippers sorta fit her.  All the ones I've ever received were made for giants.

She must have very large feet.   All the slippers that were in our cabin are too large for me and I wear size 11.  

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

This topic brought a smile to my face right at an early hour! Wonderman- you are soooo right! Ah- and thank you - that was a great answer- DINING- the activity of eating a meal- you learn something every day- don´t we?

talndthensome- don´t ever throw something at your wife- Happy Wife - Happy Life! LOL!

Ah- wonderman- i wrote a bit more about " Modern Luxury" in my review:

Ah, but is it still “Modern Luxury” when you wear the robe and slippers to the Oceanview Cafe  or the MDR?

[misterkevin]

Modern luxury is watching your cabin mate dine alone at the only place with a surface to eat from in the cabin? If this is an actual Celebrity ad, it's kind of an insulting joke. 

 

And regarding those slippers, with my size 13 feet I've always felt like Cinderella's evil step-sisters. Can you order a larger size?

Not an ad per se. It was a post on their Instagram account and the woman in the photo is apparently one of those social media “influencers” who is traveling on Millennium right now.

 

Celebrity is beyond desperate at trying to reach that younger mid-20’s to mid-30’s audience that is actually “influenced” by this Insta-nonsense. Clearly it’s working based on the multiple Edge sailings that have gone out less than full and all the discount offers that have been flying around for Edge (4 perks for Oceanview and up, kids travel free, etc.) including lots of free cabin offers for casino players.

For those of us that travel in steerage, this is the norm. Sometimes you even have to remove the little plate cover yourself....the horror! 

[coldweathergirl]

I prefer to think of this as modern luxury when dining in a suite on the Edge.  🤦🏼‍♀️

Share this on Instagram and tag Celebrity in it and see if they share it.

My issue with this newer layout is the planned lack of options for two to eat breakfast in the cabin. We've cruised Celebrity in Aqua before, and didn't have an issue with eating for two inside. As a point of reference, last time I checked, it was also the case with Princess or even Carnival. The smaller sofa for one and lack of an adequate table is calculated to discourage this, which means they can cut room service staff, but keep overall prices the same or higher.

Ah yes, if you don't like something, no one can like something.  Times change, face it, no generation is rational, everyone lives in a culture, all the traditions you hold dear are equally irrational.

 

I love how people here are so narrow minded that they don't allow other people to enjoy life in a different way.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't think twice about that picture if i saw it.  As far as instagram pictures go, it's pretty decent.  Guys don't figure prominently in instagram, the like faux solo experience is part of insta and everyone knows it.  Younger people are more self aware than you might think.

The complaint is about how X is going off the deep end to appeal to one demographic to the detriment of the people who are actually booking and taking cruises.  People who are giving them money with an expectation that they can have room service and not have to take turns at the one suitable eating surface.  This would include the same young people who they are trying to get on the ship.  It's incredibly tone deaf on X's part.

Exactly. I guess some are just too “irrational” and “narrow-minded” to understand that...
