Is there a social media site to partner up with a Pin?  😉

 

Pinterest would have been a good name for the site, too bad it's taken.  😄

 

Thats funny, but none I'm aware.

Yes 5-7pm.  LOL - love the jab @likemindedfolk.  You can actually meet way more people by making the rounds at all the bars and "working the room" than you can by plopping yourself down in the DL with an overloaded plate of nasty and stale hors d'oeuvres.  

 

Agreed.

 

It's an amazing coincidence that the meeting of "like-minded" cruisers (whatever that means) as well as meeting old and new friends alike seems to always happen at the free Hh. 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if they are the same people who eat breakfast in the MDR because it is "more civilized" 😄

I dont see anything close to that on their website, but good for you

We booked it two months ago and were very surprised at the price but we have caught great deals like that on Celebrity before.

That's an interesting strategy.  Do you then visit lounge after dinner. We use vouchers after dinner unless the DL is convenient to deck 4

I take it you like the location of the DL on the O class ships with the exception of Allure.

I’m guessing that’s going to take another 5 years now for Allure. Such a shame. 😇

We're in a similar situation with nearly 500 points and getting older.  We now know Pinnacle is an impossibility, partly due to the cancellations, so there's little incentive left

 

I just got this email from RCL

 

Subject: Program Enhancements. You Spoke, We Listened

 

As you know, we are constantly seeking feedback from our members, either submitted directly to us or posted on social media. One thing that has become clear is that many of our most valued cruisers feel left out, as the "next level" seems out of reach. The see too large a gap between status rungs.

 

Therefore, as part of our constant effort to improve the program, we are changing the requirement for D+ to be 500 points. To those of you just short of 500, get out there and get cruising 🙂

Yep, great place to stop by prior to seeing a show. I get a dbl Baileys added to my cappuccino and off to wherever.

 

Oh, and even Allure often has an overflow lounge down there, so they are all good

If you only have 500 points, are you truly loyal anyway?

Look at MSC. Beautiful new ships, excellent entertainment, big bang for the buck. Food - subjective. JMHO.

MSC Yacht Club hands down much better then RCL suite life. Did the Seaside twice & was blown away. Would never book a suite again on RCL just not worth it. My only problem was the MSC YC B2B’s that I had booked from NY for 2020 & 2021 were all cancelled & repositioned to FL. Hate the hassle of flying so my only departure choices are Baltimore, Bayonne or NY.

Sorry, I'm not very adept navigating their site. I was trying to get dining added, but didn't see it.

 

Nonetheless,  I really dont see how you can say that Celebrity is such a fantastic deal basing it off an oscure and unavailable sale price.

 

I have a $3,400 OS on Symphony in 2022 courtesy of L&S, but if you try and book it now, its ten grand. Would it do any good in a suite cost discussion to say thats a typical price?

 

Bottom line, every line had deals on occasion

Not sure those ports will be safe for some time.

Are they really in worse shape [virus wise] than any other US port?

Of course every line has deals on occasion but we find with careful & persistent shopping that we have often been able to get one on Celebrity.

Miami/Ft Lauderdale/Port Canaveral don’t seem to have resorted to unrest. Florida hasn’t mentioned defunding the police.
