lindalovesholidays Posted August 30, 2015 #126 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) We always left our champagne gift any books unopened nibbles basically things we were not taking home we left them for the cabin Stewart with his cash (that's how we tip all the staff) asking him if anything is of use to him or his friends if not he can bin it But we also have had the flip side on a back to back where our attendant gave me 2 dozen roses a guest had bought for his wife on the last night of their cruise but they could not be taken off the ship and a few bottles of wine given as presents they didn't want it good to recycle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited August 30, 2015 by lindalovesholidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixieva Posted August 30, 2015 #130 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) The Welcome Aboard beverage choices do not include 6 or anything no matter what C&A level. I think there was either a mistake or a confusion with a D+ amenity. If you have 175 C & A points or more one of the amenities you can order is a 6 pack of soda. Just saw this yesterday. This is not your welcome aboard gift but is on the long list of other amenities you can order if you have the points.

beej Posted August 30, 2015 #136 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just went to see if I could change my preferences for D+, and they are finally there. Notice that they added a prosecco which isn't bad on the lower end ones. My question is, what is an Element bag. I know Element is a brand, but what is the bag? Guess I'm getting old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
