Meet and greet with Celebrity CEO Ms Lutoff-Perlo

[LGW59]

Just got an email from Celebrity inviting me to a meet and greet with LLP for a September 18, 2021 Greece cruise.  As much as I would love to meet her and thank her for the vision in creating the E-class ships, which I genuinely love, I canceled this cruise months ago. 🥳

I also got an invitation, but never booked the cruise.  Looks like it's an open invitation to everyone.

Me too.  Maybe LLP wants a meet and great at the pool.

You are to the CC community.

Gee, I would love to accept the invitation but I have a hair appointment that week 🙂

I also got an invitation even though I never booked this trip.  This was almost as exciting as the exclusive invitation I got to join a wholesale club.  And the wholesale club listed my first name with the invitation which was really exciting. 😉

I can't imagine anything worse than meeting someone that has had that great vision to utterly destroy the Celebrity brand, and who will only be happy when it is a women only cruise line.

We were on Eclipse a few years ago on the cruise prior to LLP being on board. We had a fantastic cruise but everywhere you went there was that smell of fresh paint...

 

There is a long standing joke in the UK that the Queee thinks the world smells of fresh paint as everywhere she travels the ‘tidy up’ crew are a few yards ahead....

She has also destroyed what was the best Loyalty Program in the industry!

Someone seems a bit bitter, that’s why they still have many other options.  Stop the world I want to get off.  I’m male and E-class is spot on for me.

It wouldn't be the same without you.

As I kept scrolling down the email I kept hoping and praying there would be a complimentary cruise and airfare to join her on this sailing. 🤣

What parts of it did she destroy?

I guess women in certain professions should just accept the fact those professions are dominated by men, and that qualified women should not be given opportunities to succeed or be promoted.   Indeed, let’s go back to the 1950s.

Maybe they are trying to entice you to return!!!

That is what some of us who fly think about those programs as well... over the last six to eight (6-8) years.

Bo- so you think that LLP has also destroyed airline loyalty programs too?😊  She has a lot of reach in her destruction.  Godzilla!
