I think most people understand Beginning July 17 means all the answers should be there right and then on July 17. But its amusing people to see some of the replies on here, kind of like adolescent temper tantrums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying I’m angry but I have worked for a large multi national company and understand that if one of the dates you publicize is July 17th as the start of answering questions, that people will look that day and call you out if nothing is there. So when Celebrity out out these dates, I would have assumed someone would have made sure that at least one question got answered on that publicized date. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebutlerdidit Posted July 18 #30 Share Posted July 18 I came looking for the same answer. How will we find which questions have been answered by madame president? Will they be stickied to the top of the thread? Highlighted in some way? I’d rather not have to keep checking back when I’m not even sure what I’m looking for.

Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted July 18 #31 Share Posted July 18 If I remember correctly the last time they did this with the previous president her answers weren't up on the "beginning on" date either. And people fussed then. And people fussed when she answered. Lather, rinse, repeat. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted July 18 #33 Share Posted July 18 Communication is key...Perhaps they should say: Question submission deadline is July XX. IF the President provides answers it will be by July XX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted July 18 #35 Share Posted July 18 Laura has started answering the questions and I have to say so far I am disappointed. It is all marketing speak and nothing specifically said to address the question. She's only answered half a dozen so far but answers are being posted 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were rather soft ... I thought her answer to you about E Class was legit, the classes are different for a reason..I’m 61 and like the E Class, that said, I don’t complain every chance I get about the S Class being quiet and sedate. I haven’t read many of the other answers, I do expect a lot of marketing speak for sure.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 18 #40 Share Posted July 18 10 hours ago, NMTraveller said: I remember some of those. One of the questions was will Celebrity bring back the 14 day Southern Caribbean cruise that so many enjoyed. The answer was something like this: Celebrity always looks at new itineraries and destinations. However at this time we have no plans to bring the itinerary back. I thought that was intentional by RCL so they don't have to give $200 Stockholder Credit for cruises over 13 days. Very few cruises are more than 13 any more. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but those were dates Cruise Critic put out, not Celebrity. I have a feeling it should have been worded in that Laura will start reviewing questions on the 17th and will answer shortly thereafter etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's only answered half a dozen so far but answers are being posted I agree, she only answered a handful of questions and they are all “fluff” answers. When asked why they no longer offer gratuities she sidetracked it with telling us we have the option to pay for them ahead of time 🙄 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be marketing speak, that is mainly what the question and answer forums always are for large corporations. This is a gathering of info for them to get a pulse of a subset of people who enjoy sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this Q&A is purely a marketing effort from start to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Rare LauraS Posted July 18 Administrators #45 Share Posted July 18 I see someone shared the link over to Laura's profile which is the easiest way to locate specific responses (answers) to posted questions. There's a great deal to unpack in all your questions. I'll try to summarize: The questions were collected over a two week period; there are quite a number of them, and Laura & her team at Celebrity has shared that they will do their best to answer them by Friday. I will personally attest that there hasn't been any soft-posting of questions, and that I'm in constant contact with the folks over at Laura's office and that they are working hard making sure the questions are answered. I ask that you respect the fact that she is running a cruise line, and please be patient. Thanking you all in advance, LauraS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted July 18 #47 Share Posted July 18 14 hours ago, buchhalm said: The poor woman probably sent an underling to the liquor store. Finding a diplomatic answer to some rather bizarre questions would need something strong to cope with. Expecting the CEO of an organisation to answer why the "fish is always cooked wrong" (I paraphrase here), is priceless. 😄 Agree. Some of the questions, like the referenced one, were embarrassing to say the least. A shame we had to clog up the board with stuff like that. I understand different things are important to different people, but there are major questions and concerns to be dealt with (or not) instead of a situation where someone doesn't like how a particular dish is cooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanb10567 Posted July 18 #48 Share Posted July 18 Is it just me or has anyone found anything informative in the questions and answers??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted July 18 #49 Share Posted July 18 I for one appreciate the effort and the answers, even if some here are not satisfied with them. Some were great questions. Some questions IMO were not-so-subtle attempts to be purposefully negative. She answered both types to her credit. A big thank you to @LauraS and to President Laura. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't have to agree to do this. Big thanks for doing it - and I look forward to answers to remaining questions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
