What would be your "one last straw"?

[constantcruiser]

After reading countless posts complaining about cutbacks on nearly every cruise line, I'm convinced that a passenger rarely boycotts a line just because one small thing was missing from their last experience. It's just that a lot of little molehills eventually add up to one big mountain.

 

What would be the "last straw" that would absolutely make you stop sailing Celebrity? For me, I couldn't care less if Micheal's or Cellarmasters closed tomorrow. No gym...no problem. No escargot...no big deal. However, the one thing Celebrity could do that would drive me straight into the arms of another cruise line would be to eliminate the hot glass show! That's right, I'm a card-carrying glass groupie. What would it take for you to finally draw the line?

If all the cruise friends we've made on Celebrity stopped sailing with them we'd probably switch too.

If they told me I had to cook my own meals and then wash the dishes afterwards.

[Orator]

If RCCL sold Celebrity to Carnival and they "Carnivalized" it.

[hulamoon]

If the smoking policy allowed more smoking.

If the staff became so overworked it hurt service and becomes painful to observe.

If all their ships sunk.

 

But it has been determined that the glass show contract will not be renewed when they expire later this year. Sad to see the OP leave. The other lines do not offer a cruise product like Celebrity.

If they discontinued the waffles. :D

[YOW]

If it got to feeling more like an all-inclusive resort: subpar meals, hot all the time (underpowered or no AC), lots of bugs... yeah, hot and buggy ships, that would be our deal-breaker.

BYOB policy... Bring Your Own Bed.:)

[Cruise Junky]

So if they cancelled the glass show would you stop cruising altogether?

 

For us it would be when the product stops being of value. Not sure one specific thing would stop us. Maybe the removal of all balconies :)

[cle-guy]

The addition of string quartets, barbershop quartets or a harp player.

[jagoffee]

When it stopped being a good value or perhaps if the ship never left the port.

[4cats4me]

Insufficient service at the management level. Dismissive attitude towards customers

[forceten]

Getting the noro every cruise, that might make me not wanna cruise anymore :eek:

[warmwinds]

The loud music that was complained about a month or so ago would have done it for us. Since it seems to be fixed, nothing I can think of besides awful food, service.

 

I wish they would bring back the string quartets, a cappella groups, and yes, harp players. :)

Smoking on balconies, loud music, uncomfortable beds, different type of atmosphere, poor food.

poor service.

Um. I have to ask. What is the hot glass show?:confused:

I'll take a barbershop quartet over the Miami DJs any day of the week. :D

[lady_cruiser]

When I get too to drive to the two nearest cruise ports.

[gblotter]

Bad food in the MDR and Oceanview Cafe.

 

If the food quality resembles Golden Corral's buffet - be assured I won't be coming back.

 

I guess I'm a bit of a food snob.

[CHAMPAGNELASS]

Making me row their ships Ben Hur style from port to port or a no alcohol served on board :-D

On Solstice, Eclipse and Equinox the lawn area has a glass blowing demo area. The show occurs a couple of times most days. Interesting to most people, although some pax watch it many times.

If they double the price

+1!!!!!!

We continually sail with others and always come to Celebrity. If the food remains good to excellent and the free cocktail hour continues we will be happy along with a happy family atmosphere onboard we will sail our 4-5 cruises per year.

Happy Sailing. It is still the best.
