Capt. George is on vacation, or will be on vacation shortly. What is the name of the Captain on the ship? Have a great cruise.

True for some lines. I received my printed tags for Oceania about two weeks prior to my November cruise on Vista.

Am also on this cruise and agree with the poster. Most passengers are quite friendly, but there are also chair hogs in the heated loungers.

I believe that in planning for a flight you should consider the unexpected.

The production shows will be the same. The entertainers may be different dependent on their contracts. The highlights should be the ports for your cruises. They most certainly aren't boring. You will most certainly get to know the officers and crew and that's a plus. The menus are on a 14 day rotation. They always start with menu #1 so you will have repeat meals. To break away from menus you can always go the the OV Cafe or book a specialty restaurant.

I have suggested to Celebrity that they monitor social media like this so that they could give an official response to rumors. This was not the policy on Equinox about 3 weeks ago. I was never asked about taking pool towels or told that I would be charged if I failed to return them them.

She is very special!

Will they have an ILounge on Xcel?

Must have been a sale on orange paint.

Laura kept saying that she and her team's goal is to allow passengers see that value in their vacation with Celebrity. The President of Celebrity has reversed some former policies in that direction.

My DW is in the video. Laura and Andrea really want feedback. There is a new positive company culture.

If you believe that the cruise prices is a value to you, then book. If you believe that the price isn't a value to you, then don't book. Market demand determines price.

They ate in all the venues and they ordered from the regular menu. I have been assured by one of the waiters that their meals were taken from the regular line.

Expect the unexpected at the Port of Miami. I've experienced delays of up 2 hours in Miami. One time it was for a slowdown by C&I who were protesting a shutdown. Why end what I expect will be a relaxing cruise with stress?

Or the time. Most younger people tend to work which limits their vacation time. I mentioned this to the President when I saw her on Equinox. I also mentioned to the person of sales that Celebrity should focus on what made them successful in the past.

.Most polls show the results as votes are cast. The OP will share the results later I guess with interpretation of results. I would like to see the results and draw my on conclusions.

What we get is what people are willing to include in their experience. People are booking, especially Suites at what I feel is to me outrageous prices, but that being said, Celebrity would be fools(and they're not) to get less than the market will allow. The passengers who continue to book are most responsible for the decline in service and the rising prices. The market determines price!

I did a TA on Viking Neptune and it was wonderful. IMHO better food than Celebrity. Better speakers than Celebrity. I would rate my recent experiences Crystal, Viking, Celebrity and Oceania. I'm taking a cruise on Oceania Vista in a month, so my ratings might change.

They need to reactivate CelebrityCruiser for treads like this and answer some of the questions and perhaps misinformation. CelebrityCruiser was the screen name on this board for a Celebrity staff member who reviewed this and other social media platforms to give advice and correct information.

Crystal, Oceania and Viking.

Time will tell!

Laura is new and beginning to reverse some changes made by LLP such as retiring Zeniiths to Retreat Lounge and bringing some items to the MDR menu. Too early to ask the question.

I asked about many of the items on Cruise Critic and discussed with some the importance of someone to monitor Cruise Critic and offer advice and correct misinformation. I discussed the former "Celebrity Cruises".I will let the team make any announcements on their own schedule.

Today I disembarked from Equinox and the new CEO and team from Miami were on the ship. Some shadowed the crew and they wanted to learn the experience of passengers. I had a few conversations with Laura and found her to be charming. I detected a positive shift in corporate culture which is more positive to the passenger. I thanked Laura for returning the Zeniths to the Retreat Lounge and asked several questions which were all answered. Laura truly wants feedback from passengers. There will be changes to the menu in the MDR in November which will be bringing back items that were removed.

I took three cruises to Israel and actually made it once. Safety is of foremost concern. Pray for the people!
