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!

Today I received an email asking for feedback on a person who contacted me. I never received a call and I don't know the person who supposedly called me. I deleted the survey.

I meant to say Aqua Class. Blu is the AC restaurant.

The cabin are the same size. IMO, the perks are not worth the additional cost. If you need extra perks go for it. Blu a least has a dedicated restaurant.

I have been on B2B where you had to ask for them back and twice my request was refused. Had to stop at Guest Relations one time to secure the card.

You will receive a "transit pass" that allows you to leave the ship. Show the pass to return to ship. You will skip the lines. You will receive the passes and full directions the last night or two before your departure from the ship. You can leave at anytime before you are required to meet with other B2B cruisers. Plan you tours and have fun! Ask if you can keep the seapass card from the previous cruise. You will be issued a new card for each cruise and may (sometimes do and sometimes not) give you credit card number. The non refundable OBC each at the end of the cruise will expire, they unlike some other lines cannot accumulate. Each segment of a B2B is a new cruise.

I haven't and so long as we're included I really don't care if I'm on the list of recipients.

I feel that all of the cutbacks started with the elimination of Zeniths from MC/Retreat. It was the shift in emphasis from loyalty that was the problem. Perhaps the reevaluation of the core philosophy starts now. Some tried to warn of the changes in corporate philosophy, but were called "complainers" or "whiners" by other posters.

Positive for the passenger, problem for Celebrity. I have booked at least 6 cruises with other lines, such as Crystal, Viking and Oceania that I would have booked with Celebrity.

I also did not see a request for questions. I didn't receive the email to inform me of the change in MC/Retreat that some havef reported receiving. I have also booked cruises on other lines. Problem for me is that once you experience other lines you tend to be less Celebrity exclusive.
