Yes they do, and it does make things easy. (not to mention they have better towels, but that is another story.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did discover that some ships have it in the Windjammer at lunch. I confess, I did fill up a bowl before leaving. Mmmm...so stinky and soooo good!! 🧀 🤗 We sometimes used to get it on the "fruit and cheese" plate with room service. Little plate of that, some red wine, and our favorite chairs on the balcony with best view on the ship...for us anyway. 😉 Best one was as we were leaving Hubbard Glacier on Radiance Alaska, and that fabulous aft wrap balcony view....ahhh....

I'm on vista in sept where its outside and not in a quiet ac place. But it has the other good lunch spots, the mexican salads for lunch in a shell, Mongolian wok, etc. Wish we had allure next year but I got transferred to liberty. Getting to florida takes more time, but I guess that's my best choice if they dont get busy on terminal 3. Not ready to fly again yet. I liked ourusualbeach suggestions, let us on rcl stack obc, if a fcc is more than the cost of paying off the balance let us get obc and use up fcc. I forget his other 2. VIP debarktion for loyalty levels like carnival does. CCL Horizon's Guys SH/BH BBQ is much bigger than Vista, on the other side of the ship primarily, and plenty of indoor seating with AC. 🙂. I have to have the AC while eating as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red wine and cheese, can't beat it. BTW, do any of your stores still sell limburger cheese? I can't find it here in NYC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to sail Mardi Gras in May (I don’t think it will happen) but I have been checking out deck plans and their new eating places, looking forward to being on a brand new ship. Also looking forward to checking out Odyssey. There is something special about sailing on a brand new ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute best TA we ever took was the last Caribbean cruise, the TA, and the first Mediterranean cruise on the same ship. Super trip. We did it again in 2019 on the Jewel.

Rare ReneeFLL Posted January 20, 2021 #188 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I wished they would bring back free room service. I know some people go over board and order a ton of stuff and then waste it. If they would bring it back and even allow someone to order only a certain amount of times I would be good with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Royal. But on Carnival also they started to charge from a certain time at night to morning while adding more choices. They said what you did about waste. But I will tell you when bringing younger mature people on the cruise who party at night and come back to the cabin and order food at 1 or 2 A.M. that it takes at least an hour or even more for it to arrive and they may crash out. That amount of time and more causes some consternation as people are sitting in their cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted January 21, 2021 #192 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I believe it was June 2020 Celebrity's Captains Club started a Cruise Reward Program called "Power Up Points" (PUPs). Once a month the CC sends an Email out with Celebrity cruise related trivia type questions. By participating you earn PUPs (🐶🤣). Ten PUPs equals 1 Captains Club cruise point. You could be on your way to the next tier level while being landlocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
