I did say "apparently" and they did not mention anything in regards to improving the food quality which they surely would have bragged about had they improved the existing entrees

Many have been complaining since Jan 1st to reverse their cutbacks. It apparently took the outrage of a cookie fee in order for them to listen but they're apparently not improving the food quality

She did mention she was bored with MDR menu by day 3 and understands there are many who do B2B(+) so there would be "new entrees" yet nothing specific was mentioned. Also if they did not mention if they would eliminate existing entrees to make room for the new ones

Short of the F&B, we're going back in time to 2022! They're reversing the 2023 cutbacks including bringing back the dedicated everyday classics

Your "promoter" must have been an amateur as they can offer two or more (lol)

Strike while the iron is hot, go to the store to buy a lottery ticket!

Truth be told, it isn't a blanket answer. The easiest way to determine, how often do you plan on being on your balcony?

There's the soot issues as well, that seems to bother some more than others

3-6 months ago, this was presented as a “cruise hack” on social media and went viral. The other recent viral cruise hack was from two straight guys who claimed they were together and celebrating their honeymoon to get on the newly wed show. They claim they received a better room and drink package for free after the show. This was obviously not on X, was on carnival

Yes but you’d imagine it would happen so frequently that changing the water every 15mins would be quite the chore

Simply isn't going to happen as that isn't the case now and they look to be increasing the family hours. Half the time when there are kids and their parents in the solarium their parents are crew members

Even pre-pandemic, their complimentary baked dessert game has always been bland and therefore weak where if you were wearing a blindfold, you might not be able to tell the difference between a Vaniila/Yellow cake vs a Chocolate cake. We tried the cookie skillet at Garden Grill on the Beyond and were surprised to find the dough they use is the same as the free buffet/Cafe Al Bacio cookies and therefore was disappointing. If one likes the free cookies then they would like this. The Eden Cafe had a surprisingly good chocolate cake but the Eden cookie recipe changed for the worse, supposedly only the Apex's Eden Cafe retains the original great cookie recipe. When it comes to desserts, stick with the ice cream and gelato

My WAG ("Wild A$$ Guess") is that they are expecting more kids to be on due to CoCo Cay

Well...

If they were to open the soda case containers, you might find some beer in there

Login here: https://www.celebritycruises.com/account/past-cruises It mentions emailing CelebrityEngagementCenter@celebrity.com for both invoices and missing cruises /missed points. I was able to call the capts clubs to request missing points and they added them without needing to provide invoices

Know who is the most upset about the bar NOTING being installed? The Retreat Bartender(s) as they would get more face time and therefore presumably have a noticeable increase of tips

To oversimplify it, we'll see what action/changes, if any, come from this. I do give them credit for visiting and speaking with both the crew and the guests as I doubt any have the team have sailed in a non-suite. Actions not only speak louder than words and also PR photo stunts

The problem is that waiters have been known to be wrong. Also, IDK what the waiter's exact statement was, but unless it was the it included "taken at random" was said, you have to imagine the waiter servicing the table pick a best looking/hottest option "from the regular line"

They prob left out it was a B2B. US to Ireland and back to the US would be over a month. The Iceland cruise is 12 nights in each direction, 24 total nights and 25 if you need to fly in the day before

Many consider this an upgrade to the MDR

You can also bring sealed food and drinks on while in port

Cookiegate 2.0? Sorry, had to... 😅

Overall it's great as it gets the older folks active. I'm still an active beach Volleyball player and have played beach paddleball a bit, with paddleball you really don't move your legs/feet much. In pickleball its the most accurate to state you do indeed move around a lot but far less than in tennis. For scale, four pickle ball courts can fit within one tennis court but that's not safe as you don't have an out-of-bounds buffer

After looking at the invoice/confirmation, it does say "DINING SLCT"
