Kingmaker_inc Posted March 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2016 So, a few quick points arising from things I've read here before I boarded: Both DH & I are Platinum Latitudes Members. We received two Dinners for 2 and two coupons for Free Laundry automatically. No issue with both of us getting our perk. We had a great turn out of Members at the CC M&G - thanks to the organizers!! There was also a large turn-out of senior Officers, including the Captain. Any questions... ask and I will try to answer or find answers...

Rare mizLORInj Posted March 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks for the info on the platinum dinner certificates. Glad to hear we both still get one (as it SHOULD be!).

Rare Turtles06 Posted March 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Are there set times for the shows each night? Want to start thinking about specialty dining reservations. Thx Except for the first night, when there is just one welcome show, the shows in the theatre are at 7 and 9 pm (same show or performer repeated) and typically run 45-50 minutes.

Kingmaker_inc Posted March 14, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Who is your Captain and Staff Captain? Captain Lars Bengtsson will take the helm on Tuesday, March 22nd. I can't recall the Staff Captain, but I will find out and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingmaker_inc Posted March 14, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted March 14, 2016 So, a few quick points arising from things I've read here before I boarded: I had read that Brie was no longer available at the Moderno and Cagney's buffet area. This is not correct. Plenty of Brie at both. I'll check at the Garden Cafe tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your Platinum Dinner Coupons say you can only use them at LeBistro or LaCucina like I have read on here? Have a great cruise! :) Edited March 14, 2016 by peg013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just turned Platinum, and I was wondering if we would each get a dinner coupon. Good news! Can the coupon be used for a restaurant other than Le Bistro? Edited - just saw the response to the same question I asked. Thanks. Edited March 14, 2016 by Sissaaaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingmaker_inc Posted March 14, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Can you also let me know if they have activities throughout the day for children that are not part of the kids club? Thank you. We're only on the second sea day, but so far I am aware of the Family Cupcake Decorating party; there are kids movies in both the Atrium and Spinnaker in the afternoons; and a couple of "take overs" that are part of the Splash Academy thing. The Entourage group has daily brunches and lots of other meetings that aren't in the Entourage area, but are arranged by the Entourage staff.
