New Grid Format for Daily Program

[richsea]

Thanks for the copies, Larry.

I kind of like it. At a glance, you can eliminate the types of things that you're not interested in & focus on the things that you are. I would think that it will be helpful on portdays, when you can just easily check the ti,e that you expect to return to the ship for events.

I like it too, easier to schedule things this way......glad they changed it.:)

Here are a couple samples from Century last month.

First file is from first day's program, second from a sea day

 

 

Thanks.

I like it - I think it's far less cluttered and you can zero right in on your particular interests.

Thanks Larry,

I like it a lot more then the list. Spreadsheets rock!

 

Thanks,

Events like lectures, the shows, special events and parties are described on the first page or two of the daily program.

 

Thanks Larry!

I like it! So nice to just scan down the time column and see everything that is happening at a glance, and quickly look at the grid to see the open times.

Larry good work .. As always ! :)

 

 

 

I do find it funny that they have "Tag watch seminar in Shop 7" & the "Art Auction" in the Enrich catagory :D

Srpilo :cool:

Think it will make it easier to plan and like that it shows if specific events overlap.

thanks for the examples!

We were also on the same ship with Larry & Susie and the Martini Gang...great folks to cruise with! The new format was easy to follow along....we found the further details spelled out in the other sections had sufficient information so that you could make an informed decision about how to plan our day. As usual...so much to do...so little time. If you added in all Elite passenger's schedule of events...the days were just never long enough.

 

Happy cruising...Joanne

I like the new format also. Now, if they would only post this on some flat panel TVs around the ship (like the online tv guide) so I wouldn't have to carry the paper daily around with me, that would be great.

A vast improvment - charts and tables are so much easier to follow than tabular lists.

Thanks for posting the links. Personally, I love the new format. Suits me down to the ground.

Thanks for sharing the new program format, Larry. I'm not sure if I like it, it'll take some getting used to. I'll be interested to see how it works in action on our cruise next month.

[EatonDoolittle]

Add me to the plus column. Looks great

 

HAL changed from a "category" format to a schedual format - tho not this nicely done- a while back and the folks over there were devestated.

 

The truth of today's society is that we stay so busy and are more are used to a schedual both at work and in our real lives, so it follows that we would want it even on vacation.

 

I think many of us have changed from "let me find an enrichment class I like and go" to "OK, it,s 2 PM on a sea day, what are my options?" Other than a nap, of course

[Momorider]

Larry what can we say you always come through :D

I think it is a change and that can be an issue for some but It looks like a change for the better to me. :)

[cruzeluver]

I love it! We are big on all of the culinary events and enrichment lectures, so having them grouped together will make it much easier to plan our days.

Thanks so much for posting!!

I actually like this, I think it makes it easy to see the overlap.
Although I am not sure I would call the GI Joe movie Art.

We enjoyed the new schedule format on our recent Equinox sailing. It was easy to see at a glance where conflicts would occur.

The one item that we did notice as being "missing" was the contact information for the Port Agents. As we always take our daily when we go ashore, we noted that this information was not provided....... [I]ever[/I]! We wondered why this information was no longer being printed on the 'Celebrity Today'. It is certainly useful to have should one need it.

The grid seems so much easier to read and find what interest you. You just look at the subject column and then the times. Way easier than the old way. IMHO:D

[Lois R]

I had the new one on Solstice last month as well. It is definitely a
change from the old dailies. It took me a bit to get to used to it
but overall I thought it was pretty good.
Changes....changes..sometimes it just takes time to adjust to a new
format:)

[wanderlust402]

We just sailed on Century, and they did not use this new grid format. Was this just a test that they have phased out or is the new grid format still in use on the S-Class ships?

[JEDIKNIGHT]

It's terrible.

I wonder how many people said on their comment cards "We can't stand the dailies the way they are. Grid format, NOW please!"

[satchiesmom]

Thanks Larry. I think we'll really like the new format; much easier to see everything at a glance.

[quote name='Mrs Cheech']We were on the Millie last month and got our first look at the new "grid" format for Celebrity's dialy program. Hated It!!!! ANyone else?[/quote]We like the new format. But the old format was never a problem for us either so the change was no big deal to us. We thought it was easy to find whatever we wanted either way so would be fine with either format.
