Had a Cobb salad in Luminae where the bowl was barely 1/2 full and only about 6 pieces of lettuce. Summit Luminae Cobb Salad 2 weeks ago. So loaded with with good stuff didn’t notice the lettuce!

zitsky Posted December 19, 2022 #77 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Can someone help me out? I work with a TA. I have to use them to upgrade alcohol? If not what number to call? is it too late to get the old price? I was going to upgrade on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it on Sunday afternoon, it was easy. Only on hold for less than 10 minutes. Almost instantly, my online Xpress Pass showed PALL for Premium. I called the Celebrity phone # as shown on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 I never did believe its a supply chain issue. They are just getting a better price on some wines. When I was in Florida pre cruise recently I ordered a Kim Crawford SV at land restaurant which was on menu but they didn't have. Waitress offered a substitute claiming owner got a better price on a cheaper wine. I had dinner two doors away that evening and they had Kim Crawford.

I would accept these problems if Celebrity put a big banner on their website saying SUPPLY CHAIN blah blah aka You’re going to spend a lot on this cruise but we won’t promise that you get what you paid for. I took a contract law class in grad school. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. If Celebrity is stuck with only one supplier then let them say so!

Thats one of the reasons I'm not purchasing drinks package on my next cruise. I'll drink their HH wines some of which are pretty good and at dinner will drink what I bring onboard. Celebrity doesn't even stock these wines. I'll bet some of their very cheap wines work out to a few bucks per bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non-Zenith passenger always used to purchase a beverage package. Does this mean that the Zenith member ALSO needs to purchase a beverage package now (even though he/she already has a complimentary beverage package)?? Just crazy. Of course not. Crazy? More like silly to even make a suggestion that it would be a possibility. Edited December 19, 2022 by jagoffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A selection of specific martinis and wines although when I was on the Edge this year bartender at Eden was pouring me Decoy (red cabernet) and making me some fabulous martinis. Think he was new and showing off his skills. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed while onboard that the size of the pastry in OV, Al Bacio have been downsized. LOL, that's a change I actually like. Too often I tend not to order the pastries because of how large they are and how bloated I know I would feel if I ate the whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocked91 Posted December 19, 2022 #87 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Been like this for ages on Royal Caribbean. Although One person can have the deluxe package and the other a refreshment package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that fussed about Cafe El bacios pastries they are not as good as they were pre covid. They used to make a fantastic carrot cake and German chocolate cake but have not seen in last 4 cruises.

LIMPIT Posted December 19, 2022 #90 Share Posted December 19, 2022 We are cruising in April, both had the Classic Package included in our Cruise Price, and I upgraded about a month previous, I assume that Celebrity can’t insist that both persons within the cabin have the same package retrospectively ?

wrk2cruise Posted December 19, 2022 #91 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I don't believe they are restricting you to have the "same" package, just that if one has a package all in the stateroom have a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if one of age has an alcohol package, all of age must unless they meet reasons for not (underage, pregnant, recovering alcoholic, medication it interacts with) and then they must have the non-alcohol package (whatever it's called).

asmit4 Posted December 20, 2022 #94 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I suspect they will have a ton of 'medication issue/recovering alcoholics' onboard now. LOL I don't see this changing much though. People will still lie and share a drink package...but now they will have to pay 30pp to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was both booked with AI so had the Classic package. I wants to upgrade and As I understand if both don’t have to have the same alcohol package, one can have Classic and the other can upgrade to premium.
