I have a much much higher chance of getting Covid here at home where the un vaccinated are free to roam anywhere they want. We board the Equinox on Friday and my wife and I have limited our exposure outside of our home for the last 10 days. I have absolutely no fear of Covid while we cruise in our Sky Suite. Exactly my thought on another thread. Im going on the Edge out of FT Lauderdale and the end of Sept. Will be getting my booster next week, I currently feel safe in my home area, but will feel just as safe at sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what it would take to "convince" you since I don't know your needs, likes and budget. Why should anybody need to convince you to spend your own money? I totally agree with you! That is like someone asking if I should take a cruise and will I like it. Everyone has different reasons, likes, dislikes, etc. Stay Safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you getting a booster next week? I read they were not available until September 20 and only after 8 months since second shot. We have to wait until mid November which is when we qualify.

How about their personal VERY positive experience in being in the Retreat, I love they way they sound off and cannot wait to experience it again. there is not much for you to do being a 'peasant' cruiser. Are you suggesting there is not much to do on board if one is not on the retreat? If so, why would you cruise, if not, just because someone is not in the retreat, how do you equate that to being a peasant? 🙄 We took this cruise because of the itinerary. Several months later, Royal had almost the same cruise at about $1000 less. We can't switch the deposit from Celebrity to Royal. We will try Celebrity, but it sounds like Royal from now on where I figure normal everyday people cruise. Celebrity just seems so snobbish.

We do find a distinction in the overall tenor aboard X and RCL ships, but snobbishness doesn't accurately describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Royal" sounds just as snobbish as "Celebrity". Maybe more so. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on NCL, Carnival (never ever again) Celebrity and Princess. My experience with the people on board has been almost always positive, but that said I have seen the occasional jerk, just like I can anywhere in my daily life. Is it based on the feedback you see here re the Retreat on Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re normal, ordinary people who made the switch from Royal to Celebrity years ago, after having having enough cruises on Royal to put us in one of the higher Crown and Anchor levels. We cruise in either veranda or concierge cabins, never in suites on either line. I looked at this thread because the title intrigued me. I did want to tell you, though, that we’ve met very normal, nice people on Celebruty, and far fewer snobs or people who expressed entitlement than we ever did on Royal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading this thread, and I’d guess most All Celebrity threads through the years, and have cruised on 25 Celebrity cruises, I haven’t noted Any nobbishness or eliteism. Use to see people think it was a bit of that when X has more formal dining nights, but in truth, I never equated a sporks jacket with being a snob. Where are you seeig the idea/feeling ‘Celebrity seems so snobbish’. What am I missing? You are the only poster to mention anything about elitists or peasants. Not tracking this. But enough. I enjoy the older RCL ships, not the new huge ones, not because its full of ‘regular people’, but because I enjoy being on a ship that gives me the feel of actually being On a ship instead of trying to be NYC. Loved the entertainment, but just too much of too much for me. Once you get on board, I think if you aren’t working at trying to ‘see’ snobs, you’ll enjoy yourself. X doesn’t have the more ‘fun’ things RLC has, but is a very enjoyable experience. Hope you enjoy. den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He/she seems to be making their decision that Celebrity is filled with snobs, rather than normal everyday people. How they came to that conclusion, only they know, esp if it was just from the CC threads. Cest la vie, seems they will continue to enjoy RC, so good on them. Just so much more appreciate open minds and less judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
