Lately all my Celebrity emails are coming garbled on both my cell phone and computer for example: Celebrity Sale    bdhj  673 35&8 cjheyw6457manavbanhbswhxvxxgsvs shv Is anyone else experiencing this?

Have done both....Grenada helmets and life jackets reeked so bad of body odor almost nauseating and river very low....Dominica awesome.....disposable helmet liners...great river....great staff

Have seen a lot of posts regarding the MSC Yacht Club experience...can someone explain what it is, how it works and how one inquires or books?

the carpet in the dining rooms smell

We went on our fist PG cruise in Mar 2018 for 11 days and it was magnificent in every way. However the carpeting in all dining rooms was old and smelled ( I didn't notice buy my wife who has a sensitive nose did).

So my questions are;

1) Has anyone else noticed this and when is the ship due for a refit?

2) Heard a rumor that PG is getting a new or different ship...any truth to this?

Thanks

Now that the Eclipse has been refurbished does anyone know if they still have the computor poker for Texas Hold-em or do thayt have a live table game similar to the Silouette?

does anyone know now that the Eclipse has been refurbished do they still have the compitor poker for texas Hold em or do they have a live table like the Silhouette

can anyone help?

Can you tell me anything about the music/bands....was there any style of Caribbean music around the pool and what was the "party band" name and how were they?

Original poster checking back in! WOW over 80,000 posts....I should get a free drink for winning the most replys contest LOL

Surprisingly my qualifier worked cause I didn't receive a single negative comment about our holiday alcohol consumption...WELL DONE FOLKS!

Just got the package discount for our upcoming cruise in Jan so now I believe that the drink package truly is the "best cruise deal ever!"

Cheers and to those who bought a package based on my info...have a cool one for me!

Your post has me re-thinking my decision to not go with the premium package!

I have a question - are the "drink of the day" frozen drinks in the souvenir glasses included? I thought the limit is $12 per drink and they are $10?

 

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Souvenier glasses are not included in the package!

Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive list. We have booked the premium package for our upcoming Silhouette and after reading your post I know we have made the right decision. :D

 

Just one question though.... where do you get the at 8.30 in the morning. Sounds delicious. I am presuming it must be Cafe al Bacio?

That's the spot...open at 0700

Wha increase! I thought it was only speciallty restaurants that went up?

Let me start by saying we are not big drinkers per say, however on a cruise, we do like to enjoy ourselves, after all it is a carribbean vacation! We were on the Connie last January and purchased the Premium Drink package prior to boarding. Initially we were concerned that with so many port days we might not get our money's worth.

Not only did we get our money's worth and more, there were other perks that we didn't anticipate. Aside from no slips to sign etc, often around the pool when a frozen drink started melting often the staff would ask if they could just make a new one. We tried many different types of drinks esp Martinis that we might not have bought otherwise. If we tried a new drink and didn't like it it was replaced with another drink of our choice without question.

In order to show you why we felt this was a great deal I will describe a typical day. Disclaimer... based on this, some may think that we are heavy drinkers...if that is the case , while we appreciate your perspective and opinion please do not comment on our consumption ( this is our first post and we have seen some petty unnecessary replies). The purpose of this information is not to expose our consumption for review and/or public scrutiny, but to demonstrate to those who like to let their hair down a little and are wondering from a ecocnmic standpoint is it worth purchasing a package.

0830-Latte with one and half shots of Bailys..........$10.00

1100-large water...............................................$ 3.50

1230- Frozen drink..............................................$6.50

1430- Beer........................................................$5.00

1600- Frozen drink..............................................$6.50

1800- Glass of wine while dressing for dinner............$10.00

1930- Martini and dancing prior to dinner.................$12.00

2030- Dinner ( 4 different types of wine by the glass as suggested with each course by sommommlier-not all entirely consumed)..$ 40.00

2215- Specialty Coffee..........................................$ 8.00

2300- Dancing/Bar/Show/Casino Cocktail.............................$10.00

2400- Nightcap.(wearever..maybe brought back to balcony) $10.00

Total...$121.50 ( Drink prices are approx by memory-please don't bust me for not remembering exact price..probably cause I drank too much..Ha ha)

Cost per day...$55.00

Remenber this is for one person double the savings when we each bought one!

Only difference on port days was that we had two beers when back on ship as compared to 3 poolside drinks. Many nights we actually stayed out dancing etc later and maybe had another one...or if really hot day at the pool and having fun with poolside neighbors maybe snuck in an extra beer!

If you think this might come even close to a typical carribbean vacation day for you, then you can see what a true value it is. The other convieniences were no slips to sign, bar servers, waiters and sommoliers knowing your preferences and offering drink suggestions and special cocktails that we had never tried before. We told our assit waiter the first night about the specialty coffee and we had it served with our dessert every night...no hassles. It really added to the vacation atmosphere that we enjoy!

Hope this helps!
