Cotton balls and Q tips are alive and well.....

In Aqua Class on Equinox at any rate! Just back and can confirm that the 'jar' was still there and was replenished daily as needed. Also 2 faceclothes and the usual range of Gilchrist and Soames toiletries in the small tubes - also replaced without having to ask.

Same wonderful welcome, great food and service, although staff in Blu did seem to be rushing around on some nights as though there weren't enough of them.

Just wish X would keep passengers informed when things change/happen - eg delayed sailing times etc. A quick update over the PA would be all it takes. Makes life easier to deal with all round when you know what is happening. That said - fantastic cruise. Thank you Celebrity!

Were there flowers? Thank you.

No flowers, but still had the diffuser and sparkling wine.

No jar of cotton wool in a standard cabin on Eclipse last week, may only be concierge/aqua and above.

Or maybe you just need to ask now. On our last June Med cruise we were in standard balcony stateroom and didn't find the jar. We "reminded" about it our stateroom attendant and the jar was there and replenished when needed.

Makes me wonder...you've booked a cruise and put down a deposit predicated on a number of things; one being the amenities included with the category of cabin. Many months (perhaps years) later you take this cruise and find that some of these amenities are no longer available. Isn't that breach of contract?

Concierge class had the cotton balls and q-tips. Also, a rose on the first formal night. Only one chocolate covered oreo on the first formal night. Nothing after that.

Also, no beverage service except for bar items in their Island Cafe. I wrote a comment about that, and they told me the Island Cafe was supposed to be self service. But, the very next day they had a man serving coffee up there, but I saw him only once. I found no beverage service rather strange, because Royal Caribbean still delivers free beverages in their Windjammer, and Celebrity was supposed to be a step up.

I am confident that the contract has clear disclaimers related to changes, but I would never bother to read the complete contract. Good luck with that.

We had cotton balls and q tips in our standard veranda stateroom on Equinox, our toiletries were replenished frequently too. We disembarked 20/9

Same cruise as us. Seems to be a ship by ship thing then.

I could no longer find flowers listed on web for AQ. I assume the rose is from CC.

Thanks for the confirmation.

On the Infinity we had q-tips and cotton balls restocked daily. Got a rose on the first formal night and none this time from Captains Club Hostess. Flowers look pretty bad after 2 weeks so no great loss.

I think long gone are the days of replenished flowers. I guess I do not understand the rose if not from CC hostess. But I would love some retention of the benefits remain, so maybe that is it.

Booking receipt doesn't show amenities.

On Summit last week we had a box which contained 2 q-tips and cotton ball(s) - I'm sure it would have been replaced as used, but I don't need cotton balls and I brought my own q-tips (really, they don't take up much room to stick a handful in a baggy).

We had this on Royal Caribbean's Legend earlier this year, and they replaced them daily.

The cruise contract states that they don't even have to have a seaworthy ship...they can change, cancel, replace anything, at any time, as they see fit. Not much protection for the consumer.

I was on Equinox in Aug 2014 in standard balcony and had the tray with cotton quips tips, shower cap. It was replenished daily as was the lotion, shampoo, conditioner

Buyer Beware! Thanks for the info.
