rd - I may resemble that comment OR at least observe it in others... LOL bon voyage

Here, at that... LOL bon voyage

It has always been an option for staff to eat in The OVC as there is a dining venue for them already... bon appetit and bon voyage
-
aw - agree, yet "in reality" taking that away is far worse than the scale back of The OVC... LOL Most would not care who they had to spend it with, it is theirs to spend... Upgrade to PBP, possibly??? bon voyage

How full are ships sailing - Seeing odd things for move up bid options
Bo1953 replied to cgolf1's topic in Celebrity Cruises
???? Is this because your spouse contracted C-19 or that the information received about passenger capacity was the straw??? bon voyage Is -
I believe you are correct for individuals who would not purchase a beverage package. There are some of us who bring wine on board AND still maintain a beverage package. I would venture to say many of us have the PBP by the time we board... just biting at the bit to hit either The Martini or Sunset Bars to get it going... LOL Cheers and bon voyage

Of all the cutbacks, I do not think this is a casualty of booking on-board, surely!!! Then again, the postings here if that happened!!!! LOL bon voyage

Pending on the reason you cancel and your travel insurance coverage, may take some of the sting if you need to do so before sailing... bon voyage

Did Celebrity get rid of the Classic Soda Package?
Bo1953 replied to mpdog42's topic in Celebrity Cruises
As it seems that the following 'additional beverages' are of no interest to you, then purchasing sodas as wanted may be the better option? Cheers and bon voyage Acqua Panna water Evian water San Pellegrino Premium coffees Red Bull and Editions Zero Proof Cocktails, Frozen & Non Sodas Premium teas Aqua Spa Fresh Juices Bottled Iced Teas Vitamin Water -
I think that is sad, as well... While I found it challenged us to think 'outside' the proverbial box in terms of entertainment and presentation, I did enjoy it for the most part. For us, it is akin to someone who does not like or enjoy disco as a reason to shut down or do away with that venue... I hope it will be back for a 2024 Beyond sailing.... bon voyage

Did Celebrity get rid of the Classic Soda Package?
Bo1953 replied to mpdog42's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It now goes by "Zero Proof" package... If you have purchased the old package already, you should be grandfathered with it... Cheers and bon voyage -
@YensidCA one approach to using your own stones would be first night find a bar where you most likely be throwing back and let the bartender know that the following day you will be bringing your own stones... That way they know and will not be perplexed by what is going on... Pending on the ship, there is at least one bar that specializes in scotch and bourbon and those bartenders will understand and accommodate fully... Cheers and bon voyage

... are you willing to continue the task??? 😂😂😂 bon voyage

Sounds like a WW meal offering..... LOL bon appetit and bon voyage

For all X passengers who board ships outside of the US and are not US citizens (okay US citizens can respond) ---- What is your anecdotal recollections or real life experiences with bringing soft drinks, water, seltzer, juice and the like aboard ship??? I have yet to read any post from those far flung places about this and was curious as there are currently a number of US postings concerning quantities and types of beverages which can be brought aboard in US ports. Cheers and bon voyage

Methinks that quite a few posting here have never dined in Lutece nor Le Bernardin and a few other establishments that are equivalent as most of us are just coming into our own in terms of climbing up the proverbial economic ladder of which one of the first stops is 'cruising' for pleasure... While enjoying fine dining is someplace where a well 'heeled' cousin/relative would take us for a special a special occasion every couple of years or so... maybe where we would take ourselves out of desire or curiosity to see how the other side lives... LOL Nothing wrong with this, to be sure... and to be clear, just my observation. bon appetit and bon voyage
-
Thank you for this, were you (and others, who also, either wrote and/or called about this situation) offer up what areas that X could consider cutting back in to offset the potential cutbacks in OVC??? Just curious as I have not read where any poster has offered up those suggestions, yet, unless I missed it... bon voyage
-
No, not even on a Bermuda sailing... I have witness a few men try and could not get past the M 'd... even with tie and jacket, as I thought about doing it as well... bon appetit and bon voyage
-
Thank you, sometimes we do not 'read' the full text and only take away the points which support our goals and desires... Guilty as written... LOL bon voyage
-
Maybe a plank too short, yet, could you not allocate some of your savings towards the Zero Proof package??? Yes, beverage packages are getting more and more expensive and there are reports of OVC cut backs on many ships. Based on what I perceive your 'wants' are, maybe RC, CCL or NCL will be a great fit at this time until X can become profitable again and adjust pricing for your expectations??? OR your expectations accept the new pricing and reality in this current market of pleasure cruising or not. While I have no suggestions as to the latte workaround, there will be plenty of no charge water (included in the fare) aboard for sure. If you have any OBC, that may cover a few of the lattes you may have. Cheers and bon voyage

Sure does... Cheers and bon voyage

What is the reason you would torture yourself in this manner??? While many enjoy these venues even without 'discounts', skip them... Or go so you will not wonder if you made the correct decision or not. Net - Net we cannot do justice for you in this decision as you will most likely read here that there are those of us who love these venues and do not mind spending $$$ to eat there, those of us who would not even go near them unless we get a discount (read: deep) and those of us who will not spend the $$$ for this type of dining as we already paid for the MDR, OVC and Mast Grill... You have to decide if you like any of the themes these restaurants present and then decide if it is worth it or not to try. If you have enough, if any, OBC then this might be a worthy spend??? Let us know what you ultimately decide... bon appetit and bon voyage

I Am hoping, possibly in vain, that the pricing will go down enough for me to book from PHL or fly non-stop from FCO-EWR... bon voyage

For you, lgw, they may make an exception... try it and let us know... Cheers and bon voyage
