mbsilk Posted March 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2018 When we were aboard previous cruises there were usually a few printed copies of a variety of newspapers for guests to read. Now it seems that has been discontinued with an offer to have paid papers delivered to the room. When did this change occur and can we raise a community plea to reinstate it?

dalliowner Posted March 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2018 They were available last March on our cruise , perhaps somebody either on board or recently returned could comment if the papers or tablets were still available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbsilk Posted March 20, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 20, 2018 They were also available 3 months ago but I was told they don’t do that anymore Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fudge Posted March 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2018 We got of the good ship Odyssey on Saturday, there were available every day. They used to be delivered to you suite during the night, they now appear around 8 am in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted March 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I wonder if we are confusing the little paper delivered to each suite with the printed full copies of newspapers, which were - but maybe no longer - available in the Square, and are supplied to certainly Diamond members for free in your suite, with your name on - let them know your choice beforehand - each morning usually at about 8 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galeforce9 Posted March 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Don’t forget the press readers that are available. Like iPads in a housing with certain pre loaded daily papers. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillylovesseabourn Posted March 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Daily readers available, less waste of paper resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEESRE Posted March 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2018 In December on the Odyssey we found that the printed papers were always taken by certain passengers, not jut one paper but may be 2 or 3. They would take them to the pool deck and you could see them on their sunbed. One day I heard someone ask if they could borrow one of the papers and the said passenger said you should be up early so you could get one. The readers were available also.

They are still in Seabourn Square, not sure about the other type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted March 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2018 In December on the Odyssey we found that the printed papers were always taken by certain passengers, not jut one paper but may be 2 or 3. They would take them to the pool deck and you could see them on their sunbed.One day I heard someone ask if they could borrow one of the papers and the said passenger said you should be up early so you could get one. The readers were available also. It clearly states on each copy of the printed papers: "Please do not remove from Seabourn Square." Therefore the correct response to that inconsiderate passenger who did so and took it to the pool area should be: "You getting up early doesn't make you any less of an inconsiderate poacher."

curly wurly Posted March 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Please don’t judge everyone who is reading a printed newspaper as “a poacher”. It is one of the benefits of a diamond club member to receive a copy of their preferred newspaper daily. Just sayin.... if you want to check, sneak a peek at their newspaper. It will have their name and suite number printed at the top. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbsilk Posted March 21, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted March 21, 2018 A bit more info. Turns out the printer is out of order (again) AND they are not providing hard copies of papers in Seabourn Square that can be read on the tablets.
