  1. "What's in a name?" Marketing is still marketing and a contest is still a contest.
  2. Without enforcement it’s merely a “suggestion” that’s viewed as optional.
  3. It's supply-demand. As long as people pay the price they would be fools to lower it. (and they are not fools, they are smart business people!)
  4. I received one this week that was centered on loyalty benefits that I use. Seems they are asking many questions.
  5. Past experience doesn't indicate what will happen in the future.
  6. They must be doing something right. Look at the stock price and reports about the company.
  7. I would suggest that you consider a Concierge cabin because of the perks like a few bags of laundry, earlier times to book trips and restaurants and earlier boarding times and a concierge lounge. It's a few bucks more, but IMHO worth it
  8. All the crew must go though immigration. There can be major delays caused by surprise inspections. I have been a part of some delays, some were very long. Usually there are no delays, but expect them in your planning.
  9. I have cruised Oceania,Viking and Crystal as well as Celebrity and other lines. Crystal was head and shoulders the best experience.
  10. Thank you Celebrity. Thank you Andrea! Some may actual wear them. Some might place them with their Celebrity cruise memories. Do what you please. It was a great gesture to recognize loyalty and I for one appreciate it.
  11. Correct me if I'm wrong, but many feel that Celebrity is more like RCCL every day.
  12. The Pinnacles will be able to get the as long as the supply lasts. But you are correct, Zeniths first and Pinnacles according to supply.
  13. Most Zeniths don't wear pins. Some say with that they will wear the new pins at the Zenith Lunch and remove them at the conclusion of the lunch. The new pins will have the name as a part of the pin.
  14. The debate has ended. Zeniths were removed from MC/Retreat and restored! The President of Celebrity Cruises has said Zeniths wouldn't be removed again. Some Suite people should get used to it!
  15. They should auction the route maps and donate the proceeds to a charity.
  16. 48 nights. Transpacific and Japan and South Korea.
  17. You fill out a slip the says: "dry cleaning, fold and laundry". Also has a list on items and prices. You place it in the same bag, unless you want to on the top of my closet due differently and place the bag on the bed with the slip inside the bag. I put it on top of my clothes.
  18. I saw him on the Riviera. I think he has been assigned to Vista.
  19. Another former CD on Celebrity, Paul Baya is now a CD for Oceania.
  20. Did this 3 times. One time X provided transportation since many were booked for both cruises. Once I walked to the 2nd ship and once I took a taxi.
  21. You can expect weather problems if you choose to cruise from Florida during hurricane season. Buy cancellation for any reason insurance to insure you from the risk of weather.
  22. At one time published the names and subjects of guest speakers. The ended this many years ago citing the privacy issue. Check your roll call since some of the speakers and entertainers post. If you are interested in a particular entertainer you can always check their web site.
  23. Big, warm welcome to the board! I hope to meet you on a Celebrity cruise.
