I went to Guest Relations and they handed me the Sky Lounge weekly schedule when it would be closed. I told them that was a major disappointment to me but the woman said "sorry, there is nothing she can do to change it." My thoughts were to write about this on Cruise Critic when I returned home and I must say I was both glad and amazed to see 311 posts about this already done.

I could not agree more with your post about the Sky Lounge being taken over by Park West. I am an Elite Plus CC member with over 60 sailings on Celebrity. I prefer the Solstice class ships over the Edge class mainly because of the Sky Lounge. It is a place to mingle with other cruisers, have a peaceful view through all the large windows, enjoy quiet solitude, relax in comfortable chairs, read a book, etc. Almost every time I went there the sign said Private Function. Park West seemed to be the most frequent group there. It was the only disappointment of our cruise experience going back-to-back to Greenland and Iceland from Newark to Boston.
