Would appreciate what it consists of now. Inference is that it is only a Champagne Toast with an Officer. Whatever, that means. 

 

It's been documented in Live reviews and on FB. Same lunch as usual, just no officers joining you for now

Those promos were temporary and nothing to do with cutbacks.     As a matter of fact, they tried to undo the promo and there was such pushback that they had to honor the promos for those already booked under the program.

 

My Harmony Easter '20 sail was booked under the promo.

Any promo/perk is temporary. What would you consider a cutback if that promo wasn't one?

Big fan of the new drink vouchers. So much better than the overcrowded lounges of days gone by.

 

Really not much negative that I can see, but thanks for sharing

only negative for me is they include bottles of water in the daily count. We drink water from the DR and WJ but like a couple of bottles in the room. When we get thirsty at night.

Ok, Thanks. I don't read FB. This is more than enough here.

Meal still exists, but for now the officers aren't joining us

So for 340 points & over there is still a special luncheon but now not with an officer?

What subject has not been repeated over and over? On Celebrity they are now addressing Chic Night and dress requirements. LOL 

 

Absolutely, it's sometimes called pot stirring as I understand

That is my understanding

Apparently so, based on OP comments about such. Very misleading info from RCI in that link.

Use your 4th voucher for a bottle of water😉

An officer turns up, says cheers, doesn’t drink any champagne 🥂 because they aren’t allowed to as on duty then they leave, the rest of us eat lunch.  Hope they still do the complimentary wine ( although most of the time it was that Beringer stuff 🤢)

 

Apparently most officers didn’t enjoy hosting the tables, and it was always an effort to get them to attend, so I’m thinking most officers may be doing a sigh of relief.  

FWIW; with the vouchers it means I can now get a decent glass of Whispering Angel with dinner instead of the house hooch PG; it may also mean I can get a decent g&t before dinner.   Shame it’s only 5 vouchers a day though!!

But that's just a ridiculously old change. More than two+ years ago. Way before Covid

 

Might as well include chocolate on the pillows

Got it! Thanks everyone. I do like the idea of being able to use them at any time, & if they’re not used, so be it; there will be more on my card the next day.

the vouchers are not cumulative. If you don't use them up in the 24 hr period, you lose them.

i could, it’s not a big deal, it’s just the only negative.

I’m happy that I can now get better glasses of wine. 😉

Ditto on that  FOR SURE!!!  And if I ever get to cruise again I will put that opinion in all my surveys and then some😇

Great idea. So will I.

[cruisegirl1]

Seems to me that many of the “enhancements“ lump the diamond plus and pinnacle groups  together.   Those two groups seem to receive many of the same enhancements.   Interesting…….

No pun intended, however, what opinion will you put in your next cruise survey?

Maybe others will agree,  too.

[stacieg1011]

Quick question. Did I misunderstand in the beginning. It listed C&A benefits but said no breakfast in Main Dining Room. Is this for the whole cruise or did I not read it right

That I think the increase in the number of drink vouchers that can be used all day long at any bar is a great replacement for the few hours of unlimited drinks from a restricted menu in the Diamond Lounge.

K, totally agree with you and others. This was suggested months ago, but many were against it. 

Stay Safe! HAPPY CRUISING!

We hope to cruise on Edge in Sept.
