I quoted before, but Celebrity offers "everyone, all casino players, comped drinks while playing."

FYI: Celebrity Cruises has Comped Casino Drinks for Everyone! "Complimentary Drinks while you Play." https://www.celebritycruises.com/content/dam/celebrity/pdf/BCC-Tier-Benefits.pdf

I never understood this scam, as Carnival & Royal Caribbean don't do this!

I am in Reserve JR Suite, Premier Package, same as you are. Can't wait for December! Be sure to book Breakfast & Dinner on your Balcony, my father loved this on Caribbean Princess! Remember, you get two Comped Specialty Dinners, Unlimited Room Service, all Gratuities, Contest drawings, Specialty Deserts, & the Best Dining Room Experience possible, with Princess. Both of us, should get Princess's A game; the best they can possibly provide! For $11,500 I sure hope they do!! One quick tip: my agent is giving us $660 onboard credit, you can add another $250 = $910 by buying, 100 shares Carnival Stock. That's around $2,200 or so.

I think it includes food too, but what would the quality be like?

My Panama Canal trip on her, is in December: I get to have both Christmas and New Years on her, as my Honeymoon trip!

What happened to the "President Butter" they used to serve?

Perhaps with Delta Queen, they can be a new line based on Heritage Cruising?

I was never a Platinum, went from Gold, directly to Emerald.

Notice that now, only Diamond and above get Tier Pins!

This is just craziness, you must have only eaten at buffet, another line, or stayed home!

Casino Bar is "Comped drinks for all players."

But, Royal unlike Carnival, stopped paying a stock dividend!

I was on this cruise, with my Hosted MyVegas Group Cruise. This was my first cruise as a new Diamond Plus, sadly a once grand ship, is left to become total crap. I was on Explorer last year, it was the best Royal ship experience I've had, this is among the worst. The food in all venues was sub-par, including both Specialty Dining venues, Chop's & Gulevanes. The buffet made MSC look good, as did the Main Dining Room. The Chef had Head Waiter, call my cabin, to invite me for Lobster Dinner on last day. It was nice of them and I asked them, "what do you recommend as an appraiser or salad course," their response was, "we recommend you go straight to the main course, the lobster." Yea, that just about sums it up!

Does anyone have any idea what the "Fruit Truffles" are and what they look like. Have seen no pics and no reviews: am confused?

I just was on Carnival Celebration, this was very popular with passengers, many openly talked about it, I witnessed it too.

I would, at least Disney pays American wages and Corporate Income Taxes in California. Royal pays none of this and is a true Foreign Corporation. Gotta love the o'l "Flags of Convivence."

No, it is a Liberian company, fleecing both their American/International guests and their International crew!

Soon Royal will add a "$50 a day, Service/Amenity Charge," like the Vegas casinos do.

By the way, the rules in Italy are not the same as America. They tend to be "in the eye of the beholder." "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"

Well dear, I brought a fellow passenger to the Steak & Lobster Dining Room and they comped both meals. It is MSC's smallest vessel, I stayed in a Suite and the ship gave me a Dinner with Officers. Notice, that's not a stated benefit either!

Well the Aromivilla has a Suite Dining Room.

The best thing MSC does is their Specialty Dining.

But as a solo cabin guy, I get to invite another person. Oddly, on Celebrity, all people in the cabin, get the same benefits, as the top tiered person!

Oddly, MSC's best party was for Cruise Critic, better than for Black Diamonds!
