Poohb Posted October 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We decided to try Celebrity. Our 1st cruise was on the Summit 10 years ago and with our RC D+ status we thought we would enjoy the perks of Elite. The cruise was fabulous. Food was exceptional although I would say RC food is very good. Most everything was good. Our biggest disappointment was in the perks that we received. We believe that although we are D+, our switch to Elite was actually a step down. The evening free drinks and hors ds event was not as good as D+. The munchies consisted of itty bitty canapes of tuna, chicken & a 3rd choice; they were served on a tray & were about ½ square inch. The drink choices were limited to basic mixed drinks; we could not get black Russians. There were no welcome aboard gift, no choc covered strawberries or canapes delivered to the stateroom. The Elite breakfast was limited to cold plates & pastries; no typical breakfast items – bacon, eggs, waffles, cereal, etc. The staff was wonderful. The priority tendering process was very good. Although we did enjoy ourselves, we will probably stay loyal to Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted October 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We took advantage of the free laundry and the free internet, and thought both of those were great perks. I didn't pay any attention at all to the nightly drinks since we had a drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohb Posted October 20, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We took advantage of those also. We did not get a drink pkg. because we would not get any advantage from it. We went with the gratuities include since we were on a 2 week cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
