  1. We disembarked Grandeur on 1/24 and I feel the same! I was dreading it but they were wonderful. I didn't like the tours much, but the staff, at least, were fantastic.
  2. PS- We read about the noise issues before sailing and brought a white noise machine. STILL audible.
  3. I've mentioned in another thread, but on Grandeur 2 weeks ago in 960 (Concierge D) we could hear our neighbor's phone ring, loud enough to wake me up. (The suite phone, not a cell.) This is UNACCEPTABLE.
  4. Interesting! We were in 960 but our phone situation WAS definitely the phone ringing next door. Glad you had a "false alarm!"
  5. Yes, of course- sorry, it was a joke but didn't come through 😉
  6. I would gladly trade in the Encyclopaedia Britannica sized cruise brochure that awaited me when I got home from Grandeur last week, just in order to have the good cherries in my drinks...
  7. I have been on a ship (Celebrity) where the extra rolls of tp were removed on last evening. Now that is insulting AND crazy- who wants scratchy ship tp?🧻
  8. I hope you are feeling better from your illness! we just disembarked so it’s a moot point now but it was the cabin phone, not cell 🙂
  9. I decided to sleep with my white noise machine and ear plugs this time. Still awakened by neighbors phone ringing. I am not sure what else I could do to avoid this but it really sucks and has impacted the enjoyment of our vacation.
  10. Seriously?! That’s awful. I am sorry. we haven’t had that whistling but maybe it would be nice to drown out the neighbors 😁
  11. Update on cabin soundproofing- I was just awakened by a ringing stateroom phone. My neighbor’s. Not happy. The tone is lovely but if the walls are so thin it wakes me up when someone ELSE’S phone rings… this is a problem! on the upside Chartreuse last night was excellent and the comedian was actually pretty good.
  12. The chair hog situation is absurd here as well, but of course, this is not unique to this ship. I’m disappointed that we don’t have a lounger in our concierge suite. I had thought based on splendor that that is something we would have. I’m actually taking a bath right now because I can’t find anywhere at the pool to sit in the shade. I’m happy we have a bathtub, but frankly, I could do that for free at home. Not uncommon to walk by and find, an entire row of window side loungers occupied by only books and sunglasses.
  13. I am also on board right now, and I agree with both of these assessments. I would probably request the sound improving a little more strongly than you mentioned here- we can hear the conversations and the television of the couples in both suites next to us both sides, and have experienced early-morning awakening with apparent cleaning of the public areas above us. although we have not overall been that pleased with the excursions, we had been led to believe that the destination services team was awful. We found them easy to deal with, pleasant, and truthful/realistic about what to expect from the various excursions.
  14. I don’t know if new Crystal still offers this, but on old Crystal we experienced getting to bring a friend on board in San Francisco when we were docked there for two or three days. She had dinner with us and it was really a lovely experience for everyone involved. I think the charge was around $90 which really was reasonable considering the circumstances, wine, cocktails, dinner, blah, blah blah. The reservations, for this had to be made quite some time in advance and I needed to provide information about her such as name, I think date of birth and maybe even passport information?
