We did not receive any special invitations by the officers. We certainly did not have a mostly private tour of the bridge along with lunch with the Captain. These benefits come from being a “Zenith” member of the Cpatains Club and are not available to ordinary folks booked in a Royal Suite. I don’t want anyone to be disappointed that they don’t receive what Jim L. receives even if you pay full price for a RS. On this cruise the bridge tour and lunch was not just Zenith’s. I’m not sure how they were picked but there were a couple Zenith’s, a couple Royals and a couple Sky Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a different menu I doubt we would do it again. We are of the same feeling. One and done. If with unlimited specialty dining we skip all of them on MClass. Our taste go more toward Murano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. I believe I posted that Captain said the last season in Europe was in 2015. The waiter that that told me he had only been with Celebrity for 3 years and never been to Europe, which had him thinking she only sailed SA and Caribbean.

I hope you won't mind one more. We love to ballroom dance and, from the dailies you are posting, we are excited about the amount of time there is dancing in different venues. Have you seen many people dancing and does it look more like disco or freeform dancing or more like ballroom? Wonderful that you are having smooth seas and seem to be having a good time. It's such fun to check in every day to read more! We have seen mostly ballroom in early events at Cosmopolitan also after dinner ballroom as well as freeform in Rendezvous Lounge. Silent Disco a couple evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted April 27, 2019 #455 Share Posted April 27, 2019 We were invited to lunch with the captain and officers 3 times, all on Silhouette. Our last cruise on Reflection we never saw the captain or officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your fav non sushi dishes? Sorry, my memory is not good about stuff like that. There were 3 of us and none of us had sushi and all enjoyed the meal. So just know there are other choices.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted April 27, 2019 #464 Share Posted April 27, 2019 16 hours ago, jcpc said: On most of my recent sailings my experience has been the complete opposite of what you post. There is a private bridge tour and a lunch with the Captain and Sr. Officers for the guests staying in the PH and RS. There may or may not be an additional luncheon for Zenith members (depends on how many Zeniths are sailing). Or sometimes if there are only 2 or 3 Zeniths on a sailing they are invited to the luncheon for the upper suite guests. The invitation actually referred to it as a VIP Luncheon. So I think this luncheon with the Captain varies from ship to ship. Depends on the Captain. Captain Kate doesn't do those things. Sailed in both PH and RS and never got invited to anything. Have been invited with other captains. And I'm only Zen, stuck in that vast sinkhole between Elite+ and Zenith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest regret about Celebrity vs. Holland is the lack of a true promenade deck. 3 or 4 laps around the Holland deck equals a mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 28, 2019 Author #468 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Sunday April, 28 Today has been mostly overcast and the temperatures have begun to drop a little as we start heading north. High temperature today was approximately 71 degrees with light breezes and calm seas. Weather projections show we should have decent weather for Funchal on Tuesday.
