Cafe al Bacio~pastries no longer free w/o beverage?

[richsea]

This whole conversation is indicative of how Celebrity is becoming less & less special due to their apparent lack of attention to detail, which used to be their hallmark. There no longer seems to be a continuity throughout the fleet. Different practices from ship to ship; one ship has free pastries, one doesn't, one ship serves daily lunch in Luminae, one serves brunch on certain days.

"Attention to detail"used to be a mantra that, although a marketing term, was always followed & set Celebrity apart from their competition. "Modern Luxury" seems to just a hollow marketing term, with nothing much to back it up. Newer cruisers may not notice, but many long time cruisers surly can see the difference. It's kind of a shame.

Don't you know that no one cares about that any more? As long as we all think everything is free, that's all that matters.:rolleyes:

 

Nothing is free. It's all paid for by the fare - and then the upcharges.

I was on the Silhouette Oct. 3-17, 2015. I often picked up cookies and pastry without a drink. The oatmeal raisin cookies are delicious. I did often visit Cafe Al Bacio to get coffee or tea. The iced coffee was wonderful on some of the very hot days at sea. The cafe was always crowded.

You notice I said as long as we all "think" it's free.
