Now can upload the certificates but some of the original entries are now blank and needed to be re-entered. I'm afraid that Atlas is still not ready for "Prime Time" but am grateful that they are now requiring immunizations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybele 727 Posted August 27, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I just went into My Atlas to see the vaccine form and noticed that 1/2 of our beverage choices were deleted. They have limited the choices available in room beverages. There was a whole list of beer , now there is Bud or Luffe…2 choices. And no champagne for me ! is anyone else on the Sept 6th sailing out of Athens ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had filled all of my options out and then my wife tried hers a couple of days and the options were all gone. Did a bunch of research on the options and all gone! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docs just arrived they are Gorgeous and I’m hoping that the ship will overdeliver but I have to say the My Atlas interface has been a bit disappointing as it relates to recording preferences. Anxious to see how the onboard staff delivers on the newly limited choices. I’m pulling for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sodas and some Bud Lights. We would just run to the closest lounge and get what we wanted. I also heard others say they would call and request drinks and they would bring them to the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andiamo76 Posted September 11, 2021 #11 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I am finally catching up on my CC reading. While somewhat irritating as it is yet one more Atlas cutback, in all fairness it makes more sense to me to not have the in room bar. While a nice sounding touch, it is ultimately pretty wasteful. At least I would think so. We had that once on an Oceania cruise, (they gave us 4 bottles and replenished or added anything else when requested), and found that we ended up with leftovers in various bottles even though we had done some entertaining in our room with other passengers and didn't get carried away ordering more. So we were giving out our partially used bottles since they should toss whatever is left. At least I sure hope they do that. I do however think for a company to advertise themselves so highly this has become a very limited selection. I agree - what about a champagne or prosecco? Again given the Portuguese connection what about a port? The port makes sense to me not just because I like port, but it would be a nice special something to enjoy after dinner in our room, perhaps sitting on the veranda and reminiscing about what a wonderful day we had. I can see it already! Hopefully they at least offer one from the bar which we can have brought to our room. We will know in just over 3 weeks.

Sometimes luxury is wasteful, but will they correct their advertising and refund a chunk of the price based on cheapening the experience? "All fairness" would require that fair fare adjustment.

andiamo76 Posted September 11, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I completely understand. I predict though that these prices are merely the teaser introductory prices to hook people in before they raise prices considerably. They have quite a ways to go to hopefully improve their customer service and basic organizational issues, which is also a large part of marketing oneself as part of the "luxury" crowd. But then again as my husband has often said, "there are businesses that survive in spite of themselves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
