What email address did you use? Today I looked thru the app and apparently lobster has also been deleted from the Blu and Luminae menus on 6 night Equinox cruises !!! In my mind that is absurd !!!

She loves cruising. She always cruises with her brother and/or parents.

My daughter was on 28 Celebrity cruises, 218 nights during calendar 2022. FYI those were as a paying passenger. Also one night on a VIP Beyond sailing.

Jim, Wondering what your total flight delay was. I know you left several hours late and then had to stop in Washington DC (probably adding an extra 4+ hour delay). Glad you finally made it home !!!

How does the machine verify you are over 65 ???

Wish they would restore all the dinner entrees that were eliminated earlier this year. Especially on the Edge class ships, including Beef Tournados, Rack of Lamb, Shrimp Scampi, Lamb wrapped in Phyllo, etc !!! My son was onboard Apex for three weeks recently and had the Beef Encroute basically every day due to the lack of variety !!!

Wondering what you are doing for dinner. You and Iain have Luminae plus unlimited free specialty. Evelyn and Alex have Blu. Are you forfeiting your options to dine with them in Blu? Or spending the up-charge for them to dine with you in Luminae or specialty ? First world problems !!!

Now that you are off the ship, how are you uploading all the pictures? Do you have international coverage from your cellular provider?

Amsterdam requires transit thru a set of locks. Rotterdam does not. Due to global warming there is an issue with the locks requiring reduced usage.

Even Zenith's don't get a free specialty unless they are the top cruiser !!!

Panagiotis Skylogiannis - He brought out a number of the S class ships.

He returned from vacation on April 15. Captains work 3 months on / 3 months off.

I have suggested a Zenith Plus level to Celebrity MANY times. Would be at 7500 points (similar point difference as Elite to Elite Plus). Those with 10,000 sail in the top level suites and get unlimited specialty and top level wine anyway.One is crossing 12,000 presently !!!

You missed the Zenith only bridge tour this morning. All the senior officers were there along with champagne and bites of food. For the cost of a "Zenith" cake it could have been my son's 3X Zenith celebration !!! Did you hear that Marcia is crossing 4X Zenith currently on the Reflection TA?

As a minimum it would be nice if there was a celebration for each crossing of 3000 points. One for single, one for double, one for triple, etc. Right now it is like a company celebrating an employee with 10 years of employment but ignoring that same employee when they hit 20, 30, etc !!! Come on Celebrity 3000 points is a LOT of cruising (1000 days in a balcony cabin) !!! Also would be nice if it did not require 15 Zeniths onboard to have a lunch. Some ships (since the restart) provided a lunch no matter how many Zeniths !!!

Actually Zenith members had access to the Michael's Club "suite" lounge from early 2014 (when it was created) until the pandemic in 2020. FYI Zeniths had access before the Sky suites did !!!

Plenty of room. During a previous renovation they added four inside cabins to the equivalent space on deck 9 (of Silhouette).

Normally the service is purely a function of who your waiter is. We were in Normandy all week last week and had very fast service, which we prefer !!!

A year ago we were on Edge in AQ and ordered from the MDR menu in Blu many times. Since Blu is just one deck directly above the MDR it is easy. Have no idea why they placed Luminae at the other end of the ship on basically the top deck !!!! Also don't know why they eliminated the Sky lounge.

As stated Rita and I are still only double Zenith. We only know a few other triple Zeniths. Most of them sail SOLO in Royal suites and get many many points per cruise. Before the Zenith level was created it was much less expensive to accrue "credits". One per cruise plus an extra for Concierge or above. Equivalent to 60 points now which takes at least a Sky Suite on a week long cruise. At a minimum of $500 pp/pd I don't see the value of a Sky Suite. Plus Zenith's have to pay for the $180 pd premium beverage package and WiFi that Celebrity gives us for free in Concierge and below.

Hi Jim - Yes Rita and I got off yesterday. I hate flying and am not willing to spend the price of business / first class. I tried to address the number of triple Zeniths in Post 1023. Dawn & Eric are triple, Rita and I are still double. Back before Zenith was created we sailed in Concierge all the time. Now Veranda or lower. So it takes at least 1000 nights to go from double to triple Zenith !!! In your "HD would be so rude" comment, I was referring to LLP, the Celebrity CEO. My point was all she cared about were suite guests. No interest in long time loyal gusts.

Very few triple Z that we know of. There is a handful of single cruisers who were maybe barely single Zenith pre-pandemic who now sail VERY frequently in top level suites getting 2X (or more) points and now have OVER 10,000 points EACH !!! Keep in mind that even though a couple sailing in the same cabins on the same number of cruises will have paid the same amount as those singles, the singles will have at least 2X the points and will always be the top cruiser. Also remember there is only one top cruiser even if one person has 10,000 points and another has 10,010 !!! I personally believe they should create a Zenith Plus level at 7,500 points (same delta as Elite Plus) and honor EVERY Zenith Plus onboard as top cruiser !!!

Dawn hit triple Z about 6 months ago and had a celebration on the bridge with Captain Niko (and a dozen officers) onboard Apex in December. He said then that when Eric crossed he would do the same thing. Eric crossed two cruises ago. Tried to have the same bridge celebration with the same captain on the cruise just ended. Ended up that Eric received a call from one of the concierges in Wichita (the second to last day of the cruise) telling him it is NOT Celebrity policy to do that. Only at single Zenith. Eric asked what should we do if we see others receiving 2X/3X/4X Zenith celebrations (we saw several suite guests getting double Zenith celebrations on Reflection last year). Was told to report the officers involved to corporate (I presume for punishment). Years ago (pre-pandemic) when Zeniths still had Retreat access, Dawn and Eric were at a helipad sail away Retreat event.They met LLP during the event. Commented how they were both Double Zenith and Eric was the youngest Zenith (according to one of the HD's). She asked what suite they were in. When they said they were not in a suite she turned around and walked away !!!

Onboard Apex last week in Aqua Class. Told by cabin steward that the canapes have been discontinued. They did still charge the extra $0.50 daily gratuity like Concierge for their delivery !!!
