lovedecruise Posted December 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2018 In a couple of Solstice reviews, it has mentioned that Celebrity has been cost-cutting and don't print a daily newsletter. Can anyone sailing on her at present, please confirm if this is correct. Many thanks. PS I will post this question on the Celebrity board as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I will post this question on the Celebrity board as well They certainly print one for embark day and no one from the ship ( or anywhere else) has mentioned that they do not print a daily one. We still tell guests they will be receiving one in their room every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedecruise Posted December 15, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Yes, I have been assured from the Celebrity Board that the "Celebrity Today" is being printed daily. Apparently, it is the daily newspapers they used to print, that have been discontinued. As another member explained, "It was a four- or six- page digest of the news, including some sports scores, high/lo temps of selected cities, headline stories. Gone now."

The_Big_M Posted December 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Think those have been gone for a while. This is... "Modern Luxury." tm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCHAN Posted December 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We did a Pacific coastal cruise in September and they weren't printing them at that stage.They did have Sudoku on the racks where the newsletters used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Haven't seen the two page daily newspapers for a while, I suppose as the TV has a few news channels, the demand was not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbenjo Posted December 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We sailed on the Celebrity Silhouette in July this year and they had the daily newsletter on it at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 16, 2018 On our last X cruise, they had the daily newsletters but not the various different newspapers (condensed to one or two pages) that were always available by Guest services.

The_Big_M Posted December 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2018 The demand has always been there. But where there's an opportunity to cut costs, Celebrity is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane41 Posted December 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I think all cruise lines should stop print advertising. It is such a tremendous waste of paper to have endless art auction, shop discount, casino information delivered to your cabin on a daily basis. They are taking away plastic straws now and it is high time the advertisements were withdrawn. On my last cruise I had a drawer full of print advertising. I wonder how many trees are cut down per cruise just to print all their advertisements for art auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a draw full of paper from a cruise, I read it (or start to read it) and throw it away straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane41 Posted December 18, 2018 #16 Share Posted December 18, 2018 There was a drawer full of the papers on my recent Diamond Princess cruise. When it is in Japan they have origami paper plane flying competitions and people started keeping the paper stocked up in drawers. Unfortunately the steward never cleaned it out when I moved into the cabin. It made me realise what a waste of paper it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
