Not exactly. Unlike the drinks package, you can use your loyalty drink vouchers to get drinks for others.

Before, during and after.

yes.

We are in a GS. We did the CLS on Alure and I had to promise my wife we’d never do a two story room again.

I initially had similar thoughts about the Suite Lounge on Quantum but the servers and Concierge there were really on top of things and the lack of a bar inside the lounge turned out not to be an issue. I even managed to get service a few minutes, less than 10, after the official Happy Hour ended. I had no problem getting a drink/glass of mine to take to dinner from the lounge. We never ordered any specialty coffee's in CK, but did get a number of Café Americano's which showed up as a $0.00 charge on our account. Glasses of wine that we ordered in CK were charged to our vouchers. Our next Royal Caribbean Cruise will be on Harmony and I am very much looking forward to the 1100-2300 bar service in the Suite Lounge.

I guess I should have put a smiley face on my post! That was very nice of Iain to throw you a party, but then I expect you two do things like for each other all the time.

I have seen a couple of people on the ship that I wish that had happened with, fortunately none of them I had to interact with directly.

Just a couple of observations in addition to what @davekathysaid above. We believe the quality of service and the quality of the food is better on Celebrity than Royal Caribbean. Celebrity does not have anything equivalent to the Junior Suites that Royal Caribbean does. One Celebrity the veranda's, Concierge, and Aqua staterooms are all the same size and are pretty similar to a standard balcony stateroom on Royal Caribbean. On Royal Caribbean Star class passengers get a Genie, on Celebrity all Suite guest get a Personal Retreat Host.

So do you celebrate on the date of your birth or do you celebrate your birthday on Thanksgiving Day since the date changes yearly?

I wonder when this started? I do not recall them being locked at any time when we sailed on her in December of last year. The parents should have been warned the first time and then more stringent action taken when they did not address the situation. This is why we can't have nice things.

Not from Celebrity but I though it very interesting that these two were next door to each other. Hopefully the newlyweds asked for advise from the other couple.

This is from 6236, which is two staterooms forward of you.

I agree. I consider it one of my favorite ships and my favorite lounge layout.

We get five and it was a challenge. I do love a coffee with Bailey's with breakfast, a couple of glasses of wine with lunch and dinner, plus cocktails in the afternoon and evening. It's easy to go through five vouchers rather easily.

This is very confusing to me as we were in a suite on Quantum and there were lots of zero charges showing up and I could not tell what they were for. So really had no idea how many vouchers we had left at any point in time. What I determined was that we were getting a zero charge for our coffee's, soda's (I had the soda package), as well as any alcoholic beverage.

Nothing beats a large bowl of crockpot chili on those cold afternoons on an Alaskan cruise.

If I understood the Concierge correctly when I asked about this on our Silhouette cruse last March, the large refrigerators like they have on Reflection in December were going away as the ships went through Revolution. But I agree with you, those large refrigerator cases are so much better, and less stressful on my bad back, than the small under the counter ones.

That is also the attitude that I try to adopt, not always successfully. The last time I remember being in the Concierge Lounge as D+ was on our Baltic cruise on Brilliance in June, 2018.

I hate that you do not know before you cruise if Diamond + are going to be permitted in the lounge or not. It almost makes me wish they would either make a decision to either always allow access or never allow access.

We have ordered ours ‘to go’ and they served them in paper cups.

As @Tulsacokersaid, on Celebrity the "Elite Happy Hour" consist of free drinks, from the Captains Club Happy Hour drink list. Here is the list.

I have done the check in for my wife and I for years, either on the Web site or via the App since it has become available.

We have cruised many times in February since that is the month my birthday falls in. We are scheduled on Harmony of the Seas in February 2023.

Having had a couple, I completely agree.

Might be a little difficult. Unless I missed something, I do not believe there is a Johnny Rocket's on Ovation, I know there is not one on Quantum as I've sailed on Quantum last month.
