I.ve seen a couple of comments about planning to carry out drinks from Elite Breakfast, but I am pretty sure that you are not allowed to do this. Last time I asked the answer was "No". 

Service on X is still twice daily, unless you opt out with Go Green.

Well, as I said above, yes, they were doing this last year. Except, as the original poster  noted, no hors d' oeuvres 

They were doing this twice a week on our Sept./Oct. cruises. Sounds exactly the same, though they were called "Captain's Welcome Aboard" and "Captain's" something else or other.  Definitely not called "Club Lounge". 

Yes, any changes to a booking will result in loss of perks related to the original booking.

You can also get the remainder in cash at Guest Services the last day of your cruise. I prefer this method as I get points on my credit card and don't want to lose points with refund to the card. 

I believe she is currently on vacation. How long I don't know. 

Last week I saw a current menu and Elegance was NOT included. Maybe they've changed it? Elegance hardly even qualifies for the Premium package, much less $2.40 more! We will be on board in Luminae in 9 days. So we will hope for the best.

Did you get any refills at no charge?

You can dress up as much as you wish. 

I have been presented with this quesionaire  a few times.   I gave no medication info and filled out very little of the rest. No problem. 

Not that I have ever seen. Just drop off with all others.

 Thanks. Not that I think this will do any good, but I am going to print it out and show it to the Hotel Director and Beverage Director when I board EQ in a couple of weeks. Clearly shows she is talking about the "three venues"   in the Retreat.  I hope others will do the same. Someone needs to hold her to her printed word. 

Available wines on premium are now very limited. Better wines and some popular cocktails that were previously available now are priced over the $17 limit. 

Re: Several responses referring to post #300. I don't see how post #300 does anyone any good. It is not signed by Laura so I see no value in quoting it. Now if the poster has a copy of her exact e-mail response, showing that it is from her,, that would be worth something to us all. I'm afraid we are simply stuck with inferior wines on the PDP. 

Is this still available for purchase?

Thanks goodness X scraped plans to turn that library space into inside cabins when they did the first "revolutionized" ship. That had originally been in the plans but apparently there was so much negative feedback, that was dropped. Love the library on S class ships. Great quite place and good for people watching, as you can see outside as well as inside. 

Tuscan definitely not worth it to us. We've dined there for the last time unless we win another free dinner as we did about a year ago in the b2b meeting. 

Thanks for the menu from Luminae. Disgraceful, Castle Rock!  Fortunately, they usually have several wines not on the list. I will hope for the best in two weeks. 

. Is Eden Cafe open on port days?

Another downgrade. 

Yes. A couple of days ago someone posted a set price menu which also showed an abbreviated lunch menu. This was said to be from a cruise a couple of months in the future.  We board EQ on Jan. 18. Hope for the original menu and pricing. 

All these reports of "no upcharge in Retreat or Lumine" just mean no drinks or wine will be available that are over the premium limit. 

For those currently onboard, has the Sushi on 5 menu changed to a set price instead of ala carte, please?

Hump or bump veranda for us as well. Love wake views, but for a whole cruise I will take the side view and closer elevators/stairs. . I can get an aft view from the Sunset bar or the back of the OVC.
