  1. Where there's a will there's a way. 😆
  2. Yes dark Morello cherry and pomegranate flavor. It makes the best aperol spritzers. Flavour is not strong as one would think.
  3. I upgrade specifically so I can drink perrier, san pellegrino ($5.50 for large plus gratuities) also Evian. If I don't have the package I bring a case of San Pellegrino and have porters send with my luggage. Never had issues.
  4. I guess I just like my good wine. Have gotten to know the vintages consultant at LCBO. They do markdowns of 20 to 30% off end of each month so big savings there.
  5. Pre covid I was in the Sky lounge every evening for HH drinks and never found it crowded. Its a huge venue with plenty of seating. Its now either vacant or used later in the evening for other events.
  6. I always thought it was absurd as well. The thinking behind it is the bartenders are busy upgrading drink packages on day 1. It works for Celebrity and they are not going to change it. For that reason I don't bother buying a drink, just make my own.
  7. I returned from a 10 day cruise on Equinox October 6th and no HH on day 1. Not a big deal as I had plenty to drink in my cabin. I did not take out a drinks package for that cruise.
  8. I've always upgraded to premium but last few cruises they did not have much in the way of good cabs without going over the $15 limit. Prefer to bring my own as most of the wine I purchase is upwards of $40 a bottle. That would be more than double onboard.
  9. I'm monitoring the date and time I watched webinar after them not crediting my account with a lot of missing points.
  10. That's all I got as well. I will wait till after January 14th and if points not added shall call but I don't anticipate an issue.
  11. I didn't either but watched the entire webinar. I was relaxing with xmas tree lights with wine and cheese. DH who no longer cruises had Hockey game on. 😆
  12. Very interesting and the other day I was wondering where I could find 5 additional points to get me to Elite plus. Now I'll have it after my next cruise.
  13. When pouring hot water out of spigot into cup then transferring to thermos extra caution is advised; very easy to get burned. Almost happened to me.
  14. I find math quite easy and can be fun especially if you save enough in a year to pay for a cruise. Also good for your brain; keeps me sharp.
  15. I will follow up mid January if I don't get them.
  16. I'm seriously considering it just don't want to travel that distance solo. Not getting any younger.
  17. I bring a hot/cold thermos from home for tea bring my own David's tea also fill up in a mug at spa cafe then transfer to thermos. I use it on my flights too its very convenient.
  18. I posted last week on this thread that I was missing 50 points (solo in cabin) from my last cruise. Following the advice of many of you, I called captains club on Friday morning to inquire. Turns out I was also missing a few from a previous cruise. A very nice lady from the Philippines sent an email to the loyalty department and last night my account was credited with 72 additional points. I'd like to thank you all for your help as I would never have known otherwise. What would we do without each other !!!
  19. @cruisestitchforget about the holidays, I just found out today that there are only 2 people in loyalty that actually add the points to your cc membership. I am missing 72 points (paid 2x occupancy) on last 2 cruises and Captains club has sent email to have them added. She said 2 to 3 weeks but has asked to be escalated. I assumed things were done correctly but seems not to be the case.
  20. It was very interesting. Would love the B2B2B.
  21. I checked my email and there it was so watched in entirety. 50 PUP'S does that translate to 5 captains club points? If so a pretty good deal. I enjoyed the webinar also.
  22. PUP's offers must be sent randomly as I haven't received in months.
