If you could change just one thing (or two)...

[Sky Sweet]

If you could change just one thing (or two) on a Celebrity Cruise to enhance your overall cruise experience, what would it be?

[Cote d'or]

- No more chairhogs

- charge for shuttle busses (except transfers to/from airport) in ports of call included in the global price.

 

Besides that : we love X ! :)

Enforcing the dress code. The disregard people show for the dress code bothers me in the same way people who disregard the driving laws. Follow the rules people

I agree with this completely.

 

Actually, enforce all the rules, all the time or do not bother having any at all.

True.

I would change debarkation day. I would let everyone have the option to stay on until after lunch. This way there would be no long lines to leave and the cruise would end on a relaxing note.

But then again, I would like to change embarkation day to early morning arrival so that the first day would be a whole day.

I guess that wouldn't work would it?

[B4andAFT]

Eliminate informal nights. Stick to formal and casual.

I would add self-service laundry facilities. I know not every one wants to do laundry on a cruise; but for us, it's a great benefit. It saves over-packing - especially on a longer cruise - and it's much cheaper than having things sent out to be laundered.

 

HAL has laundry rooms available on some of their ships and we really appreciate them.

I would have some non-smoking lounges on board and move the designated smoking areas so that non-smokers wouldn't have to walk through them to get wherever they're going.

[Karynanne]

I would ask X to use "Universal" language on every ship, regarding the dress code. We were just on Mercury...and on our invitation to their High Tea...the dress code stated "Semi-Informal".

 

Now "Informal" I completely understand..."Semi-Formal" also. But "Semi-Informal" was a new one to me.

This will probably be a very unpopular response but I would like to see them do away with dressing formal, informal and move in the direction of 100% country club casual.

[hcat]

Eliminate the move toward having so many revenue partners for Wine, Acupuncture--flowers etc...the sales pitches are getting to be intrusive..

[caviargal]

That would be fine with me, as long as they enforce the dress code they do have, which at present they do not.

[wvufan]

I like the idea of strict enforcement of the rules on dress code, smoking areas, etc, but my number one change would be to have specific non smoking times in the entire casino.

 

Good thread:)

 

OOOEEE:D :D Bob and Phyl

[Lois R]

Hmmm....please no flaming:eek: ....but if they would make the

single supplement lower that would make me very happy:)

 

I still love the product and have 2 more booked but lets say,

135% supplement across the board....just my thoughts, so

again, don't slam me for it.

LOL I would say eliminate the casual nights and do formal every night!

[babylene]

I also vote for Country Club casual. What exactly does that mean? Would my husband need a sport jacket? For myself, I guess a sweater set or a jacket, right? I have the Chico's travellers line, unconstructed, easy to pack jackets.

On our first cruise, during the seventies, the dress code was formal for the evening of the Captain's Welcoming Reception and Country Club Casual on every other night.

 

I personally think when there is just one formal night, it makes that evening more special than when there are three formal nights, in addition to four informal nights during a two week cruise.

That makes a lot of sense to me. I could go for the one formal night.

 

You are right three formal and four informal is alot of dressing up for a vacation and what purpose does it really serve after that one special night.

[dorisday]

Eliminate the move toward having so many revenue partners for Wine, Acupuncture--flowers etc...the sales pitches are getting to be intrusive..

 

I agree totally with hcat.

Too many organised sales pitches & not enough day & evening cruise-staff organised activities.

 

I have no problem with the dress code cause I like to dress to impress every night

[spearmint]

I would dump the casual nights. Do formal and informal only.

[Drew B]

I would makeover the passenger base so that all passengers were of the sort who would just naturally follow rules (or laws or guidelines or suggestions or recommendations or whatever you want to call them) so that we didn't HAVE to call for enforcement. Civilized people don't require "enforcers" to make them behave properly...

[Stock Cop]

I agree--- cut to 135% for solo sailers.

I just priced a cruise yesterday and solo rate was only $70 off

what I would pay for two people. TERRIBLE.

 

Country-club casual every night would be okay too.

Tux is totally out of the question when I pack.

 

Flame on. I can take it. :eek:

[DrKoob]

Enforce all the rules. Or only take PAX who would follow the rules. And for number two (let the flames begin) ban smoking on all ships.

[D&L]

Formal and informal nights. No casual. Enforce ALL rules.
