EightFurryPaws Posted March 6, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This is a new one for me. I'm currently on the Sky. Tomorrow is turn around day in Lauderdale, I'm staying on another week. I received a call this morning from Guest Services that I was a winner in the lottery for in transit passengers, and they wanted me to make a reservation at the resturant of my choice. I asked if was totally complimentary, and they assured me it was. Is this something new? By the way, a crew member is at all entrances of the buffet from AM to PM making sure hands are washed. There also is a sink at the former Trident Grill, can't recall the new name. So that's a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voljeep Posted March 6, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I would want to certainly verify that at the Passenger Service Desk … then at the selected venue … but I like that idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to the OP. Forgive my lack of enlightenment but is there always an "in transit talk"? Our first multi-cruise (a B2B2B) is scheduled for November/December and I wasn't aware of this function.

Congrats to the OP. Brilliant ! - offer a chance at some freebies, and maybe everyone will actually show up on time and the process can begin !

Looking forward to cruising Australia/New Zealand and happy that the virus panic "should" have settled down by the time we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EightFurryPaws Posted March 7, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I'm the op. I guess it's legit Talked to passenger service and they said it's something new. I guess you don't have to be present to win, because I wasn't Nice touch. I also asked about the elite toilette items and why none were available on the Sky when I saw the Captain Circle Hostess. She said items in the old bags were not environmentally friendly (after all these years they are just figuring that out) and she had no idea when they would arrive. So I asked what compensation I would receive I'm lieu, and she gave me two drink coupons. Fair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just accepted the room steward's explanation that there were no elite toiletry bags -- will go see the Hostess tomorrow and hopefully get 2 drink coupons.
