Have you eaten on a Royal ship recently?!? The cost of inputs has surely increased recently. The VALUE of the product, not true.

Just a reminder - if you object to the fixed daily gratuity, you can have it removed from your account. We have never done this, but if the amount of gratuities keeps escalating along with reduced service, that day may come. For now, we'll continue to prepay.

Less than two weeks from the announcement to the implementation. Guess too many people got prepaid gratuities added when it was a thirty day window from announcement to implementation.

Happy to come help you consume some of the goodies!

I got the letter and I haven't sailed on Celebrity yet (but have on booked in February so it applies).

Take her to the WJ where She can have pork chops and you'll have to skip them. Happy Wife, Happy Life.

I've seen the chairs hold up under the bulk of those for whom the term "fluffy" would be a generous understatement of their size.

Given that they already overcook the pork, are you sure it will take 2 minutes under the warmer?

My wife is still waiting for one from Mariner in June 2022. She checked on it on both Freedom and Explorer in July 2022 and again on Freedom this June. In all three cases, the LA said the system showed it as out of stock or backlogged but that it would be coming. Clearly NOT holding our breath.

Big con - tan line. When we were at Disney World two summers ago and the band was the only way to access the parks and hotel room or to pay for stuff on the account, mine stayed in my pocket except when in specific use. Disclaimer: I also haven't worn a watch for over 30 years. If you're accustomed to having something on your wrist, probably no big deal. For me, if the option exists to NOT wear something I won't wear it.

Salt is not a seasoning. It is used to cover up the true flavor of food.

She will keep the shared status, but she will only have points for the cruises she has completed toward further progress.

FIFY

Similar to fat men in Speedos vs. competitive swimmers in Speedos?

So what you're telling us is that you're overdressed for the Windjammer.

FTR - my nighttime attire would never be allowed in the MDR (or any other dining venue ,for that matter).

If they merged the best of each program's perks into each other, that would be great. If they synchronized to the lesser perks of one vs. the other, there would be an uproar.

I think the system has started limiting the number of ENC users at one time and you're the unlucky one getting booted.

If your daughter is under 18, lives with you, and you have her account associated with yours/your husband's she will have diamond status. If not, no.

You received 12 because 11 others didn't receive THEIR notifications?

Since you already had a Mediterranean cruise, Norway is the obvious choice. Expand your horizons.

Taking our first Celebrity cruise on Reflection on February 11, 2024. A group of friends picked the cruise and invited us to join them so we're crossing over to the X-side. We'll have Elite status as reciprocity for our D+ on Royal.

Because corporate is part of the "everybody gets a trophy" culture. If a "10" is acceptable and a "9" is a failure, just make it a series of "yes/no" questions. "Was the food perfect? Yes or No?" and "Was the itinerary perfect? Yes or No?" would very quickly become "Was the food acceptable? Yes or No?" and "Was the itinerary okay? Yes or No?" because they wouldn't like the answers about perfection.

Funny that all the information they said they didn't get is mentioned EVERY time bingo is played.

If any crew specifically ask for a "10" we ABSOLUTELY report the individual(s) by name at the question about whether any crew requested a high score, even if they DESERVE a high score (btw - nobody gets a "10" from us unless they are extraordinary - perfect scores are reserved for the exceptional). If a crew member says something like "I hope you'll give me a high score on the survey," that's not reported because it's just a reminder of the importance of the survey rather than begging for a particular score.
