10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. Sounds much like what Celebrity has done, undone and more than once. We took our family on Celebrity last year in Aqua Class. The inclusions we received are now gone. And it was a PITA to have EVERYONE show their individual cards in the lounges when we wanted to order a drink. It compromised service big time. It had been 14 or so years since my last cruise with them and I doubt there will be another as we prefer an all inclusive resort when taking the kids and grandkids. If this is true about SS, I would be shocked as well as disappointed.
  2. Apparently the HD on Dawn is being replaced. I hope they did not hang her out to dry if this letter was another experiment by their home office that back fired.
  3. We disembarked yesterday after the 10 night Barbados to Lauderdale run. It was our first on SS. I'm working on my review now. Some positives and some negatives (in addition to the photo shoot debacle). All in all, SB remains my first choice.
  4. Wow! So much for their everything included policy! That reeks of RCI influence!
  5. It was on Navigator, we just missed it according to our butler.
  6. There does not appear to be a caviar consensus on this thread. We were in a PH on Navigator - never able to get caviar and we missed the Sunday brunch. Very disappointing as their competition offers it always and generously.

    SS/SB

    We saw similar and worse on SS this past cruise. I think the cruise lines are afraid of alienating anyone these days, and they choose not to enforce any policies.

    SS/SB

    We LOVED the entertainment on SB! Such talented musicians and it was FUN! Much more so than SS, which was far more sedate. Staff and crew on SB were exceptional as well.

    SS/SB

    We were on Ovation in April and just leaving Nova now. The extremely casual attire aboard this SS cruise was a surprise. Guests on SB - also our favorite line - were dressed much nicer in the evenings overall.
  10. Pulling into port now. Chaotic morning aboard. Will be happy to disembark and begin the journey home. Full review to follow soon. All in all, it was a nice experience. Since we were on only for the 10 day segment Barbados to Lauderdale, our experience aboard was obviously not the same as those who have been aboard for 2 plus months (which I can't even imagine, but that is just me). It was obvious many friendships were formed over the GV and shared experiences enjoyed that made the longer voyage (and the ship as well) special to those guests. Some hits (Silver Note, the piano player in Deck 5 lounge) and some misses (service in certain venues and too many "no's", limited dining menu in Atlantide). It was nice to be able to compare with recent cruises aboard Regent and Seabourn. Seabourn remains my favorite.
  11. Barbados lacks adequate infrastructure for embarking and disembarking both.
  12. Enjoy your grand finale dinner this evening and safe travels home!
  13. As they are. 2.5 hours earlier. I agree that this cruise is no longer a concern for them and they will not look back.
  14. So sorry! It was sad to watch people getting off yesterday and more at front desk who really got screwed over on their flights. I can never understand the Captain's announcements.
