Does Zenith get free room service if not in a suite? We may become Zenith if we live long enough and spent a ton of money. ๐ค๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฑ Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

There was a pre cruise special on Deal or No Deal. I bought 3 cards. On board when I went to redeem the cards I didnโt get the free or extra card that is part of the Captain Club benefit. I was told it was because it was a sale and you can only use one promo. It was still a good deal without the extra card. I think it was 3 for $24. Using the Captain Club benefit on board it would have been 3 for $39 plus the extra card, to make it 4 for $39. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Anyone in a Sky Suite thinking to go down a level?

I think it is by design to prevent passengers from hanging out. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -

We use them for shopping bags and also give them to our children that they use for grocery shopping. Not a deal breaker but they do come in handy when on board when going to the top decks to lay out or to the beaches , and excursions in the ports. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -

We got it in a SS back in Mar. it is more cuts. We got the same bag. It also has that little pouch bag inside The top bag is the most recent. Flimsy material. The one other is from a few cruises ago. More like canvas Also the boxes that had the chocolates. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -

Why would I want to change my booking? I booked a SS at a good price less $350/day pp and was expecting the same level of service that I had when I booked it. At around the $700/day that we paid the value and experience wasn't there. About 30% of the time in Luminae we ordered from the MDR. The room attendant took the place of the butler and he was overloaded. If you took anything from the fridge you were charged for it. Before you could at least have a soft drink, water, or beer. The nightly chocolate was a joke. On chic nights they use to give a little box with a few pieces of higher quality chocolate, no more. Around 4 pm on embarkation day we decided to find and retrieve our luggage out of the hallway. Others were also looking for theirs. The luggage was staged in the hallway and no one was placing any of it by the proper cabins. As I wrote I will not be booking any more suites when the going price is now over $600/day pp, with no OBC, and gratuities arenโt included, way too much for what is being offered.

Recently got off of a cruise in a SS. The value and expereince is no longer there. We booked that suite because we were in a SS and it was a fantastic experience. The last cruise was a disappointment and it is the first time that we didnโt purchase another future cruise. If we ever decide to book another cruise on X it wonโt be in a suite. $600 plus/day pp is way too much for nothing special. It will be a veranda or AQ at the most depending on the cost differnce.

It is a Corner Sunset SS. The outlet is under the desk behind the chair indicated by the red arrow. This is on the Silhouette. There was no outlet box. I doubt you would find the outlet if someone didnโt show you where it was. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Thanks for the info. Does the output supply enough to properly charge Apple products? I have had problems using some of non Apple charging devices. Thanks. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

We were recently in a Corner SS on the Silhouette. We could not find any outlets. The cabin attendant showed us that there was one plug under the desk. There were 2 USB ports in the base of a lamp. There was also an electrical outlet in the bathroom that amazingly didnโt kick out my water pick. It was a challengetrying to charge a IPad, Apple Watch, and IPhone that both of us had.

The benefits state not combinable with a discounted price. I purchased 3 Deal or No Deal cards at a pre cruise discounted price. I did not get the 4 th card as a CC Club benefit because it was a promo. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

I use to participate in a Rolex Forum. Everyone always joked about their or someone elseโs Invicta collection. I agree with all of the other comments. There may be better watches but at $69 if it is want you like and want go for it. You canโt expect a Patek, Omega, Rolex, Tag, Cartier, Panerai, IWC and etc quality. At $69 it isnโt an investment. It is a manโs jewelry or accessory. If you want or need accurate time use your smart phone. Unless the watch is a quartz. I doubt if you can find a mechanical TAG for that price. I paid $2000 for a SS Link Tag Mechanical Chronograph many years ago Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Not always true. Recently got off of the Silhouette. There was Woodford Double Oak in some bars. The BT said he couldnโt get it. It didnโt have anything about tipping him as I did it often. I think if you are in a Royal Suite or above they may make special accommodations. There was one couple that mentioned to the BT that they were the ones that had some special scotch on another cruise. I asked him about it and he said that when they were in a port that scotch was purchased for them. He didnโt give any further details. They must have been in a cheaper suite as he didnโt give them anything special. We spent a lot of time in the Retreat Lounge and seen them there a few times and they got the scotch off of the rack.

A few cruises ago my wife ordered a Moscow Mule with Russian Standard. The server said it is a premium vodka and would be a $10 up charge over our premium beverage package. No thanks. Russian Standard is not a premium vodka. Just got off of the Silhouette and Blanton was a $4 up charge over the premium package, Basil Hayden was about a $10 up charge ???? No rhyme or reason in their pricing. Ketel One has now replaced Grey Goose in the Martini Bar for most martinis The photo must be a real premium Vodka that was being sold in a Caribbean port. Notice the price is $55 but it was duty free ๐ฑ๐ค. I think it sells at Costco for $19 or $29 at the most. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

How much more are you expecting to save? The watch is $69 regular $120. If you see what you are after buy it. The ship may not have the one you want. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

I get the same using safari or chrome when I try to sign in Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

We just got off the ship. First time not booking another cruise while on board. For us the vibe seemed to be missing. The BTโs in the Martini Bar werenโt really as entertaining as we have always experienced on other ships. The Matini menu has changed. If you want something from the old menu download a menu that has been posted in the past or remember the name of the one you want. Kettle One has replaced Grey Goose in most of the martinis The WCB was also ho hum. I donโt think the BTs there are as good as they use to be when they only served the drinks that were for the WCB. They seem to be making more of the other drinks than those on the menu and didnโt have the time to make the WCB menu drinks properly. Overall the food was good, and there was a lot of variety. Naturally there were hits and misses. The adult frisky game shows were really idiotic and stupid. Attended a few and didnโt bother going to the others. Liars club was good as usual. The CD Mike had a good talk about the Titanic but it conflicted with something else. We were still able to see it on the TV in the cabin as it was shown many times rotating with other shows, or talks on the CD channel We also had a problem with luggage delivery. After many inquests we were finally told around 6 pm that it is the security room. Went down there. They searched the bag. I asked what was the problem and they wouldnโt tell me nor could they find anything. Overall the staff worked very hard, service was great but you could see that they were understaffed.

Wishful thinking. Lunch has never been a part of AQ and I doubt that X would start will all of the other cuts. There have been terraces on the other Edge class ships and were never used because of the wind and eventually eliminated Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

I also have to use chrome. Safari gives me an error. Too many misdirects Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Look on the X app under the heading dining. you will then see lounges Hit that. Then hit one of the listed bars and it has a menu link. Hit that and it has a menu for that bar Drink up ๐ท๐ฅ๐ง๐น๐ธ๐ง

Celebrity Reflection - lanyards, wrist bands or what??
miched replied to cocosmum's topic in Celebrity Cruises
My wife no longer lets me go alone to get drinks. The problem is I order 2 at the bar of the drinks I want because I am usually in a conversation with someone. I finish one and then order one for me and one for my wife, and leave with 2 drinks for me and one for her. One of those for me is a traveler. Drink up ๐น๐พ๐ธ๐ท๐ฅ๐ง๐ฅ -
I recently replaced the toilet in our basement lab. I bought it on line from Costco. It is a very nice toilet but not as good as the Toto that is in the main. It is a single piece Kohler for $350. Most places it sells for $500. I like the single piece toilets as it eliminated the possible leak between the bowl and tank. It also looks cleaner. It was delivered to the house and they put in the basement. Gave them a TIP for doing that even though they werenโt expecting one. You can find toilets for a little more than $100 at most major do it yourself stores. Depending on what style you want and brand. Bought this from HD. Would highly recommend. Almost fool proof and no worry about the wax ring leaking. It is a vey simple installation. The longest time was cleaning off the old caulk and sucking the water out of the toilet with a shop vac. There are many videos on UTube showing how to replace a toilet. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Not impressed with the Thermal Suite on the E class. the loungers arenโt as comfortable. They are under a slanted window with sun shining on the loungers, naturally depending on where the sun is. Those rooms are boring. Sit in a room with a salt block or crystal? The rain showers would be like walking thru a car wash. It is a corridor with the shower heads above. Not individual stalls. The swing chair is for design and not function We like the Persian Gardens on the S class Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐
