sasset Posted October 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2023 On Constellation now. Was on Constellation one year ago. Haven’t been all exited about stories of cut backs, but this kind of drove it home. The new Celebrity note pad and pencil. More to come as it just gets worst. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

def0715 Posted October 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I’ve gotten these really nice full-size pencils on past sailings. Seems like a small thing probably but I appreciated them. Nice touch. One time they gave me a few extras at Guest Services. Edited October 30, 2023 by def0715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
def0715 Posted October 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I think the notepads typically had the name of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted October 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Maybe Celebrity just couldn't source the longer pencils anymore. The short ones do look like cheapies. I remember when the notepad included a pen on Celebrity ships. In fact, I even recall some envelopes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
def0715 Posted October 30, 2023 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2023 A shortie, but a better typeface AND an eraser. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolebludger Posted October 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 31, 2023 what are you supposed to do with the pencil and pad? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebutlerdidit Posted October 31, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I’ve never looked at pen or pencil and pad of paper as anything other than a way to leave messages or requests for our room attendant. It didn’t occur to me to bring them home. For that reason, as long as the pencil works it’s fine with me. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to bring my own paper and pen since I am not particularly fond (never have been) of what's supplied in a hotel or on X. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have been using those pencils for the past year or so if you are in certain categories (OV and below). This is what we get in upper suites.
