You don't say. Tell us something new. Yea, I get it but I don't have to like the changes and can't do anything about the changes other than moving on (accepting the changes or not cruising) but I will voice my displeasure here on CC and my PCS for anything I have paid for by cruising with RC that is no longer offered. Especially when RC is trying to promote the changes as an enhancement. The time are a changin but not for the better. And it's not just the cruise lines.

Exactly what I said/meant when I said "we paid for those perks/benefits over the years".

She should have received the pin the first cruise after she turned platinum.

Obviously you haven't read all the posts on this thread. I'll refer you to post #363. That's the post my comment was directed.

Agree and was just going to post what you said.

Do away with the photos and give me beer instead. 🍻

Have you looked on the website? Once your logged in, click on manage reservation, then plan my cruise. You'll see your Celebrity OBC in the upper right hand side.

No, we aren't. Now that would be a great Q&A forum to attend. Standing room only.

Agree. I've said that same thing before. Including their workload.

Water, juice, beer, or whatever the welcome back amenity may be from the CAS. Where does it stop. This is why some are voicing their displeasure with the CAS cutbacks. Speaking for myself, it sucks when we've paid for those perks/benefits over the years and then have them removed and then add nothing but a whole lot of blah, blah, blah.

As it should be. No ones business what the staff/crew makes.

How would you feel if that great water you have been receiving as Emerald has now been eliminated as one of your perks/benefits?

Then you won't be disappointed going forward.

Speak for yourself. 😂

Celebrity is also eroding the CC perks/benefits like RC. IMO, it's by the direction of the RCG.

Pat, we've been sleeping around for years. 😉 But...

Not just Princess. At least we have choices. I don't concern myself about what the staff makes, how gratuities are divided up, or their workload. That's between the employee and the employer. If I don't care about something about the cruise, I annotate it on our PCS, for what it's worth.

Here's Celebrity's suggested dress guidelines: https://www.celebritycruises.com/faqs/onboard-dress-code

We haven't seen them in years in the staterooms we cruise in.

Never mind. Misread the question.

That's where Celebrity's CC falls short by not having a dedicated lounge for the top three tier levels. They also stopped the traditional CC HH in the evening in the Sky Lounge and have no intensions of bringing it back. Still no CC HH drinks the first evening.

We always ask for bar soap for the shower and sink.

Elite you will each get the wash n fold bag of laundry. Depending on the cruise (even if it's a tender port) you will get priority tendering. Now that perk is determined from voyage to voyage. No free photos being Elite. Your Elite internet minutes will be 90 minutes (each). The minutes don't run consecutively. The clock only runs when your are logged in. Like with RC you will receive a detailed letter in your stateroom outlining all your Elite perks/benefits for your specific cruise. There is a Elite breakfast from 8 to 10 each morning in the Tuscan grill on the M & S class ships. E class ships it's held elsewhere. It's continental style. Included are all morning drinks. Alcohol and not.

We'll give you a call then. 😂

I know a guy, who knows a guy...🙄 The porters do not work for the cruise lines.
