LHT28

Not mandatory to take any of the O life perks

But at least you come back close to the time One person left their stuff in the washer it was almost done when I started my wash I had dried my load of wash & the washer still had not been emptied

What things are important to you that Celebrity offers?

Maybe they have not worked out all the details on that yet But I see Red Ginger is open for lunch on some days JMO

Wine tasting event is different than the Wine Bar They have had the tasting events on the R ships

Do they have many drinks more than $20? We are not big drinkers so it does not matter to me We will buy a bottle for dinner with out OBC that way we will try some wines we have not had before I make a note of the ones we like & will buy them at home if available JMO

When you put the tours in the "cart" did you follow through to the checkout process? I believe they ask for CC details at that point Some people forget to go through the checkout assuming they are part of the deal so once added to the cart you are booked

It is a slippery slope once people get used to wearing ripped jeans & T's to dinner it is hard to go back to nice slacks & collared shirts 😉 I do not get the ripped jeans concept anyway why people want to wear clothing that make them look like they are homeless is beyond me & pay the prices to do so JMO

That is different than the Wine night in the La Reserve space You can get the wine of your choice from the menu provided for a fee & all sorts of appy type food cheeses /meats etc It is held a few times during the cruise when La Reserve is not being used anyone can go go no sign up required usually from 5 to 8Pm at least on the cruises we were on pre covid If it is the same then not new as suggested by the OP

Not always the case I suggest the pax have their TA or O tell them what the air credit is for the particular sailing

This seems to be an ongoing problem even pre covid the guidelines were not being followed If management does not care I am not sure anything will be done You would think those sailing on more upscale lines would be able to follow some simple rules of the evening dress code It is not like you have to wear formal gowns or tux JMO

Is this different that the ones pre covid ?

It is not as dire as some say 😉 IME I found the food on HAL MEH!! No cruise line will be perfect they cannot be all things to all people

Wear what you would for July /Aug for Bahamas think Sept weather for 1 st day & last day

Join the roll call for your cruise there will probably others that will share private tours https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/127-celebrity-roll-calls/ Check the ports of call forum for the ports to see more about the things to do in the area https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/8-europe/ https://www.whatsinport.com/ also have some good info

Then the PAX needs to speak to the GM so they can explain to the Butler if it is a language issue Or KIS method just say "No Canapes thank you " 😉 If management does not know there is a problem then they cannot fix it JMO

Ok so I did not read the whole post Paragraphs would help next time Did you request the fridge be restocked when it was not done automatically? Did you speak to the GM or Concierge about the poor service ? Why would you go to the Concierge lounge when you are in a PH the Executive lounge is for PH & above

Yes you should try to pre book but no you can book the next day if you like time slots may be limited but keep checking before your cruise some may open up Yes just select sharing if you cannot get a 2 top

Well no plans to travel we moved recently & need to find a cat sitter if we want to travel We have done a couple of day outings exploring the new area Only eaten out a few times & most older people here are still masking up indoors I want to Cruise but maybe next year will be the time for us

last res at 9pm the staff will be there until everyone is done

You can only pre book your allotted number of reservations You can however once onboard ask for extra reservations This is so everyone gets a fair chance at getting into the Specialties Unfair of people in suites to book tables for those in the lower categories to match their allocations JMO

The GM's usually do a 2 or 3 mth contract so they will swap out depending on what their time is allocated Who was the GM?

Then you will be one of the first to see her after the refurb 😉 Enjoy

YES just one can purchase the package If you choose the Beverage Package as your O Life perk then NO both parties have to choose the same perk

The lounges would be in the B3 extended cabins on deck 7 no room for them on the regular balconies in either A or B cabins
