This was held in the Sky Lounge about 5 times on a 9 nite cruise in Jan., and Feb. on Equinox. Absolutely NO canapes. Just cheap drinks.  Ruined our usual pre-dinner drinks in Sky Lounge for us as at about 4:45 the area along the windows on the starboard side began to be roped off for the" event" and they would close the bar in prep for dispensing the very limited drinks. 

Do the E class ships offer these presentations like the M and S class ships, please? 

We've done Retreat several times and luggage has  been delivered by 3 PM.  This is FLL.

Since Reflection is an S class ship as is Equinox, the casino is probably very similar. 

Is Mer Soleil now included in Premium package or is there an up charge of $2, please? Or is it available by the glass at all? I know in December when they shook up the Premium package, at that time it was only to be available by the bottle. 

Not that I have ever seen. 

Thanks for the menus!

So, is all that lunch at no extra cost, please?  And what about breakfast choices at Eden?

Welcome to "butlergate". But good news anyway. 

On sea days, is there more than one of the dining rooms open for lunch?  Are breakfast and lunch in Eden at no charge?

Are there two theater shows each night at 7 and 9 as on other ships, please? What are the other entertainment options such as duos and guitarists as on S class ships?

no

You have to call in order to get the Elite discount. 

Just off Equinox on Feb. 5. When we boarded on Jan. 18, Decoy and Mer Soliel were NOT included on Premium package.  Decoy was $2 upcharge. Mer Soliel was sold my the bottle only. On Jan. 21, Decoy mysteriously returned to the Premium package. Toward the end of that cruise, ( Jan. 18-27) Mer Soliel became available for a $2 up charge. That cruise was from Jan. 27 - Feb. 5. During the first cruise I asked for Elegance chard (which is included on the Premium package) at Craft Social and was told there was a $2 charge. Since I knew this was wrong, I just went to another bar. It seemed to me that some of the bartenders did not know the Elegance and Kendall Jackson Chard were one and the same. So if you are denied Elegance chard, just ask for Kendall Jackson. The Elegance cab is still an up charge of $2 as of our departure. How is all this being handled on other ships, please? Is Decoy now available in Premium on all ships? How is Mer Soliel being handled on other ships?

Did all ships get Decoy back in premium on Jan.21? EQ did.

Can't edit.  Ascent. 

Is there anyone out there currently on board any other X ship that is finding the Decoy and Elegance chardonnay back in the Retreat and/or on the menu for $17? This has been reported by more than one person but both are currently on Assent. Another person currently on Assent has reported that Mer Soleil has appeared by the glass in the Retreat on Assent. When the menu changes came out in late December, Mer Soleil was available only by the bottle. 

I've seen in port spa specials on every Celebrity cruise I have taken the last 6 years.  They were not advertised in advance except that they were shown in the prior evening flyers. 

Ah. yes. I almost forgot Vapegate!

We sail on EQ Thursday. I hope the "new" wine menu prices are on our sailing. This is sort of like "cookiegate".  Decoygate?

So what is the premium vodka now, please?

I have seen posted here two different classifications for this wine. One showed it as included in the Premium package. Another showed it at $19.00  Would those currently onboard, please respond?

So if they know these new French built ships are "fragile", why continue to build in France? Oh, I think I know the answer. Cheaper! Sorry now that our April trip is on Beyond. That is only because we are among those who originally were booked b2b Reflection and X moved us all to BY when they changed all the RF cruises to short cruises.  

If I'm reading this menu correctly it looks like La Crema chardonnay is included. I see no dollar charge. That is strange as La Crema used to be an upcharge. Sure hope this new list is on EQ next week and the week after. 

Yes, I have printed confirmation\. That is where I have a record locator. Thanks. I'll try the same record locator for return. Hope that works.
