In November the MDR food & menu was much better than it was mid year. I think the food on the newer ships is better than the older ones. We have seen drastic cuts in food quality on the Equinox, which we have sailed every year for the last 4-5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To every cruise line, hotel chain, and airline, loyalty is worth how much profit they expect to make. Just look at Delta's new loyalty program. It is totally based on how much money passengers spend with that airline. No more credit for miles flown. Celebrity doesn't give benefits to loyal customers to be nice. They give benefits to keep us coming back and spending more money with them. You might want to ask yourself the question, "what are the loyalty benefits worth to me?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The itineraries are shorter and no ABC islands. I wonder why they left Port Everglades. The Oasis class of RCL left too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger and larger ships seem to be the trend with mid-price cruise lines. I left Princess because they got rid of their small ships and started building bigger ones. On one of my Princess cruises, the captain told us that larger ships were more cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oasis class of RCL left too. All of Beyond's itineraries are 7 nights with no short Caribbean cruises. Having 2 ships doing Caribbean in the summer or 2022 was a lingering result of COVID and the 6/8 night Reflection cruises seemed pretty weak this past summer. It's most likely due to scheduling issues at the Miami combined with 7 night cruises overall selling better. Port Everglades does a lot of construction in the summer. I think the shore power installation at all terminals is supposed conclude sometime in 2025, T26 and T29 are supposed to be renovated and a new garage added, etc. https://assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/porteverglades/Port_Everglades_Master_Vision_Plan_Update_FINAL_ADA_21_10_2020_cbef0685-731f-4bcd-9fce-5e5c051bccda.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Oasis of the Seas and Enchanted Princess will be the only ships next summer out of Port everglades that are currently scheduled with Icon and Beyond sailing from Miami. They haven't announced what Celebrity Reflection will be doing next summer so it may still be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably got so many questions, of the type they really don't want to answer, that they closed the submissions early. LOL! I kind of hope the questions were all about removing gratuities from All Included, footstools, and charging singles more that double. 😈 I do hope for a points opportunity for the submitted questions Webinar. While I haven't got any Celebrity cruises booked, I have no problem inching my way towards Elite + on the chance Celebrity figures out how to not tick their loyalty members off. 😉 Edited February 15 by dreams_of_travel Adding Captains Club points comment to stay on topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killarneylady Posted February 15 #8600 Share Posted February 15 My husband got an email with link to survey for PUP. I got none. It’s pre populated with his details so I can’t use the link to do one too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
