Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I cannot recall seeing anything like that on any ship. we always have the drink package though so I may have missed it.
  2. I think I'm somewhere between delighted and ecstatic. I might get there though .Great question. I actually guessed your location before looking.
  3. I expect to get flamed by the anti- tippers but I see it differently. I am happy to pre pay tips. I am also happy to give cash tips to staff I interact with. When I hand my room steward a $50 or $100 bill they are very ,very happy . Same thing goes for servers in the restaurants ,bartenders ,etc. Most of these crew members come from impoverished areas. If handing out a few hundred dollars on a cruise helps them or their family ,I'm happy to do it. I agree that Celebrity has taken their pricing up too high while cutting back on services. However ,I don't want to hurt the hard workers on the ships.
  4. I can’t verify the accuracy but 2 bartenders on the Ascent told us they were moving away from the cans as passengers were cutting there hands when opening.
  5. Thanks for all the replies. I spoke to Celebrity today and they sent a link to include my brokerage statement and reservation number. I will keep checking though since we sail on 3/16.The rep implied they could apply ti in time.
  6. I know this has been covered before but could not find any results in a search. last year I bought a couple hundred shares of RCL. is there any benefit like OBC or anything else? I’m on the Apex in a couple weeks and was wondering if it is worth checking into.
  7. Been on all the E class ships over the last couple years. I cannot really see a difference between any. You can get a great meal or a so so meal on any ship .
  8. I have to agree about the staff friendliness on the Apex. We have been on five different Celebrity ships in the last 2.5 years and it seemed like the Apex crew was less warm and friendly than the others.Seems like a cultural thing to me.
  9. I spoke to my TA yesterday and told her I emailed LBH regarding all the issues. She suggested I also send one to Katina ,SVP of sales and service for The Americas. I figured the more executives that hear about our level of dissatisfaction the better.. Her email is : Kathanasiou@Celebrity.com
  10. I am a fan of the E class ships and the crew who are always accommodating. Not a fan of the decisions made by the current management team. The reduced service levels and increased price gouging is annoying but I'm still looking forward to my March 16 cruise on the Apex.
  11. Just received a call from Geidy in the "executive office" Who said all the changes are being looked at and there may be some postive news at the end of the month.
  12. Thank you for posting the email address. I sent an email yesterday to LBH thanking her for turning me on to luxury cruise lines which now offer a better value. Did not receive a response LOL
  13. If it was just $2.00 that would be tacky. We like red wine and some are more and not good ones. Looks like we are going to cancel our Jan.'25 cruise and move to Regent. With everything included ,it will be about the same cost with less irritation due to the cash grab at Celebrity
  14. Thank you for posting this. I am unfamiliar with Silversea and was reading some posts about the dress code. Somewhat controversial as different restaurants have different requirements daily. I do like the Celebrity new approach with 2 nights "Evening Chic" where I where a sportcoat and open collar shirt. I don't mean to go off topic but it made me pause about booking there.
