Jayandar Posted April 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Wondered if the non-Edge ships are still printing the daily "USA Times", crosswords and sudokus, etc. Missed them on the Edge. Apologize if I've missed this being previously answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRH Posted April 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2019 If you go down after 9:30-10am, they can be gone. We went to the ilounge and printed our own NYT and wash post crosswords (does use your internet pkg). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Crossword puzzles and sudoku are available. If they run out, they will print you a new one. But the USA Today, Canada today, Mexico today, etCetra are no more. Edited April 9, 2019 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsf Posted April 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yes I miss the little newspapers I enjoyed reading them in the lobby. It was a touch of home plus I could see the weather back home and grin. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted April 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2019 If you like newspapers, try MSC Yacht Club. You'll get a full-size newspaper of your choice from a large menu. Loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkbarrym Posted April 9, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2019 No longer any daily news printouts and there was no longer any news feed/summary on the stateroom TV. Looks like they severed ties to the news aggregators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted April 9, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2019 We miss the newspapers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayton lady Posted April 9, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Asked for Newspaper and Sudoku on Millenium last month. We were told they had stopped printing them to save paper and the planet unless by request. We were disappointed as always enjoyed these. He did print them off for us that day maybe because I passed the comment ‘ thank goodness we won’t be getting all those silly adverts in the suite then for the same reason’ 😉😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted April 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yea Park West and shopping flyers are ok but the newspaper is killing the planet. Used to be delivered to our suite daily by the butler. Stopped about a year ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkbarrym Posted April 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) On our upcoming cruise I will gather up all these flyers and place them in a bag. Then I will go to Guest Services and ask them why no crosswords and news summaries. When they give me the stock answer "conservation" I will hand them the bag.

Passengers have been complaining about all those flyers for years. The standard response from Guest Relations (or any other Celebrity staff member) is to sympathize, express agreement with you and politely inform you that Celebrity has nothing to do with them as they come from the shops, or art auction, or spa or whatever commercial company is leasing space on the ship.

MightyMike Posted April 10, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Even extra copies of the dailies were hard to come by on the Summit last week. Everything is moving to the app. But yes, they did seem to have plenty of paper for spa and shopping flyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted April 10, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Celebrity has its own news channel on the tv in the stateroom. However, the news was the same each day of our cruise. However, there were daily crossword puzzles available at Guest Relations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawniepoo Posted April 10, 2019 #15 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I will be disappointed if there are no daily Sudoku puzzles. It has been my cruising tradition for years. Even though I bring my own book of puzzles, completing the daily one is a habit I do not want to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the cruise should save all the papers left in cabin and on last night bring it to atrium and put in a pile, take a pic and have it go viral.

Then you will most likely receive the stock answer that those are not their flyers and if you object to them, you need to take your objections up with the companies that provide them. The more cruises we take, the better we become at doing those puzzles (because they keep repeating the same ones over and over again). 😁 Edited April 11, 2019 by fleckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted April 11, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 11, 2019 You could ask them to print out some puzzles on the back of the fliers.,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted April 11, 2019 #21 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The newspaper is free and takes from the bottom line. The ads for products may contribute to the bottom line. Would anyone pay for the paper with day or two old news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are out of the daily crossword, they will print you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
