Concierge lunch?

[Heather1972]

Is the concierge lunch still on the first seaday  or has it been moved back to embarkation day?

Still on first sea day.

Because embarkation doesn’t start until Noon ( we’ll at least in Southampton).

Agree, Now if Celebrity gave free wine with the lunch then It would make more sense.

Agreed, if they can't/won't on embarkation day, don't bother offering a "concierge lunch" that everyone else on board can have.

Hi Jackie,  sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I  totally understand why Celebrity cancelled the embarkation day lunch, given the staggered embarkation times (in the UK and in the US).  My only point was -- what's the point of having that lunch on any other day?  It was a very limited menu, and its sole purpose was to give CC pax a quiet place to sit and have lunch until cabins were ready.   (Hence the emoji I used.  🤣)

Like everyone keeps saying, that concierge class is useless, you really don't get to many benefits from it.

I don’t find it useless if it gets me a cabin location that I prefer. But in terms of perks, I agree there are very few.

We had the concierge lunch on embarkation day, on our Millennium sailing this past June from St Maarten.

We just boarded millennium yesterday and it was on embarkation day.

[goofysmom99]

We boarded Equinox Aug 27th and Concierge "Welcome Aboard Luncheon" was Aug 30th, 2nd sea day.

I suspect it just depends on the boarding arrangements for each port...

 

It isn't a practical proposition to do this on the UK sailings right now with the way the boarding times have been set, but perhaps in Seattle it is possible to get the Concierge passengers boarded before lunch time...
