A logical accommodation would be if the credit can not be applied due to an action of the cruise line and not an action of the passenger than that specific credit amount should be made available to be used against any fee or service above and beyond the basic cruise fare: i.e. gratuities, drink package, casino, etc. For instance Celebrity allowed me to use a shipboard credit in the gift shops.

We ate at Fine Cuts on the Beyond in December with a couple we traveled with and all four of us were disappointed. The steaks themselves tasted “off”, the service was pedestrian and certainly not worth the upcharge.

We were on the Vista last year and couldn’t dock at a port due to the weather. As stated, we were credited $100 for the missed excursion which was not the stated price of the excursion but I was satisfied and we had a great cruise.

Pizza at Waves is fine and a good change of pace meal when the mood hits you.

We were on the Vista with 4 other couples and the majority of us, including myself, enjoyed Ember. By the way I used to live in Urbandale, next door to West Des Moines.

I found the standard shampoo on the Beyond watered down and therefore underwhelming.

You remind me of Humphrey Bogart in The Caine Mutiny trying to determine who stole the strawberries. Maybe you should write a book once you solve the great tablecloth mystery.

Here is the answer; Who cares? If you don’t like Embers because you don’t like the menu, the food selection, the chef, the way the table is set, etc. then don’t eat there-problem solved. Additionally is you don’t like the Vista ship for any or no reason than don’t sail on it.

I found the Vista gym more than adequate for its size and passenger load; never waited to get on any equipment. When we sailed it was windy and rained some days so was not able to take advantage of the sports deck.

Another point of view is that, in all likelihood, Celebrity will now be paid twice for the same cabin and therefore requesting the points for being an already loyal customer is a certainly a fair ask. For instance, I had written corporate and got a higher credit than there were willing to give on the ship at the time of my cruise. As others have stated, there is no harm in asking.

We were on the Vista last year and missed a port due to bad weather. Though there was no credit issued for missing the port we did receive a credit for missing the Oceana booked excursion at that port.

Was played directly on the grass; the game can be played on different surfaces.

Yes

Do any of the Edge class ships still offer bocce ball on the lawn deck? When the Edge was first introduced a large section of the lawn deck was dedicated for lawn games. Went on the Beyond recently and didn’t see any dedicated game space on the lawn outside of an open pickleball court.
