Or how many will forget to order their chocolate delight. And do you need to tip for that delivery? In the past it was just in your room on whatever night they deliver it. I understand some changes and these changes are not bad at face value. I am good with this, even going forward. It actually is a welcome change for us, since we're both Platinum. We'd get double of the Chocolates. Now we can space them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got them it was usually at a time that we couldn't eat another bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted June 18, 2021 #78 Share Posted June 18, 2021 This is actually good. all tangible amenities are electronic and given as a credit on your S&S card. No longer do you have to hold on to a paper ticket. It also drives everyone to pixels with more sales opportunities. It's a win for the customer and the company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted June 18, 2021 #79 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Truly first world problem if you have to make a slight effort to pick up a freebie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted June 18, 2021 #80 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I'll have to re-read it, I don't remember what it said about the free drink coupon - we usually redeem it at SeaDay Brunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calnev1 Posted June 18, 2021 #82 Share Posted June 18, 2021 OMG. A thread that is basically about free laundry and chocolate strawberries. Could there be any better evidence that things are getting back to normal?? Love it!! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsteph Posted June 18, 2021 #83 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I actually like these changes. I hated getting the chocolate delight because they always put cake crumbles on them, which I can't eat (yay celiac disease...), and I always felt bad at the waste. I'd try to give them to someone passing in the hallway, but you could definitely see the "who is this stranger trying to give me candy" look in people's eyes lol. And you can pick up the gifts/pins you'll actually use! With these changes, you get to keep the perks and they reduce waste, which is better for everyone all around 🙂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARcruisin2 Posted June 18, 2021 #84 Share Posted June 18, 2021 These all sound just fine to me... good ideas. I especially like the idea of the e-muster... I like requiring to go find your muster station and orientate yourself on how to get there...but doing it without a few hundred other people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted June 18, 2021 #85 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I love e muster. what people are posting on youtube from the AOTS looks awesome. NO more hanging in the lounge waiting on 3 people to show up and we are all hot and sweaty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted June 18, 2021 #86 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The only bad part of a cruise, other than leaving at the end of it, is muster. I am very happy to read about e muster. Hopefully, this change will stay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still got a long way to go to even get to Platinum, but I'm also enjoying reading this thread full of near-normalcy that doesn't affect me in the least. 😆 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try to do your online check in right after midnight to snag and early appointment time. If the ship is only sailing at 60% capacity, there shouldn't be long lines anywhere.

If the ship is sailing at 60-70% capacity, the lines will move much quicker. That is something I can live with. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Wanna_Cruize Posted June 18, 2021 #99 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hmm, I know for sure in the past we've gotten two plates, but I can't recall specifically on the early 2020 cruises we did get to go on. I know all our other gifts are doubled-up (drink coupons, pins, logo-gift, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
