For we "early risers" it's frustrating when the don't turn it on until almost 8 am. Sometimes get lucky and is ready by 7 am...but not on all ships. Yes, those were the days. But did have to do my own supply stocking / maintenance (cups, fill coffee, empty grinds, etc.) at times. 😄 And yes, they often open later and close earlier than the posted times. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the coffee machine will run out of milk, beans, etc. and be unusable until serviced. I just do restocking / filling / maintenance on my own. But occasionally they lock up the supplies / milk.

We first met him when he was the Suite’s concierge on Grandeur. He is from Jamaica and a super nice guy. Lucky man cruising to Alaska on Ovation. Hope there is someone good on Grandeur when we get there in December (or for that matter on Explorer in August) Edited July 7, 2022 by AlohaLivin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugknight Posted July 7, 2022 #87 Share Posted July 7, 2022 This thread has become a "Diamond" catch all, so I've got another question. I'm new to Diamond and only because of my status on Celebrity. So, I'm not as familiar with the rules here. Are we allowed to bring in a guest to the diamond lounge? Also, my SO is also diamond but doesn't drink, how "legal" is it to use his 4 drink coupons? 😄 I assume he's allowed to do whatever he wants with those 4 coupons and the drinks! It's not like a drink package that you pay for... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know how to find an SO that will do that!!! lolol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
