It's a cold buffet. Pastries, rolls cheese cold cuts etc

One more question. If you order a drink costing more than the package allowance are you charged the difference or the entire price of the higher-priced drink?

We are pretty experienced cruisers but mostly on Celebrity and RCCL. Our last cruise on Princess was pre-pandemic. There is an attractive offer on an Emerald Princess sailing. Here is where the help comes in there are three booking levels offered standard, plus, and premier. I realize these are similar to the Celebrity all included basic and premium, however, I need more info. How are the drink prices on Princess? Do the Plus and Premier include an upscale coffee bar similar to Cafe Al Bacchio? What are premium desserts? What are casual dining meals? Is Princess charging for the buffet now? Does anyone know what Princess prizes are? Thank you in advance for the help

from the video it doesn't look like much changed

Except for the price.

Isn’t it interesting that celebrity takes things away, MDR appetizer, dedicated elite and above lounge, ect. Then gives you a little of that back and expects us to be happy. why can’t they simply restore the menu the way it was and. Bring back the lounge every night?

No, actually they can't. The stockholders actually are the plank owners and want their investment to appreciate and pay dividends. Negative changes, perceived or real, will reduce revenue, driving profitability down. Management's responsibility is the opposite. Drive profits upwards. In the last year, the perception is out there that Celebrity is reducing services and cutting quality. Actions speak louder than words.

Sorry but at least one has to stay for Tampa, I don't think S or E class can pass under the Sunshine Skyway bridge.

I guess you missed "cookiegate"

Lots and; lots of genuine balcony cabins. Call those Infiniti atrocities what they are Oceanviews!

Unfortunately, I could see the first eight-night dinner menus in the app for our upcoming 16-night Trans Atlantic. Quite a change from past Celebrity sailings and I don't mean that in a good way.

I think that is a brilliant idea!

I was advised it was removed because cruise line employees were mentioned by name which is against cruise critic policy.

Just the continued deterioration of a once great product. Sad to see (sea?)

Circle’s are good.

Well, Cruisestitch it was a big event for us. Our first sailing with Elite status and it was pretty special that the hotel director personally invited us. However, if you want to call me a liar that is your prerogative. My point with the entire thread was simply to see if the nightly closed Elite and above event had returned on any Celebrity ship. I didn't intend for this to denigrate into endless semantics. To answer your second point, the other individual never replied to my query for additional information. Have a nice day!!

Well Charles I guess you don't know everything, pity. We had many a fine cocktail on the Millenium in Michaels Club during the CC happy hour. I am fairly certain others did as well because we weren't alone.

He had a permanent home on the Connie for many years. I still remember all the Perry Grant fan club door signs. His bit about gated communities was a laugher.

Interestingly when we first achieved Elite (hate the term) status we sailed a four-day cruise on the Millenium over Thanksgiving. The cruise director made it a point to reach out to us congratulate us on our achievement and invite us to the "Captain's Club lounge" which at that time was held in Michael's club.

A number of people actually referred to the Elite and above cocktail event held between 5-7 usually in the sky lounge as the Captian's Club lounge. I know we and many friends we sailed with did. Prior to that the 5-7 cocktail hour(s) was held in Michaels club which was sometimes referred to as the Captain's club lounge. 0

Just wondering why the post bothers you so much.

Yes that is the correct spelling. My predictive speller messes it up. I appreciate your corrections.

Totally agree the CC evening lounge was not similar to the Diamond lounge on RCCL. However, it was still an enjoyable venue and I wish they would bring it back.
