Baltic tier protection

[binman2]

Message from p and o protecting my Baltic tier for a further 14 months 🤣🤣🤣 slippers safe if I make my cruise in September if my health holds up

You get slippers in Caribbean Tier so don't worry.

[binman2]

Thanks forgot that would be the case that's +30 pairs between us then

I hate those slippers.  I don't even bring them home.  What is the advantage of Baltic?

We don't take the slippers but save the bags to put my leather shoes in so they don't scratch while in our case. Baltic is not much different to Caribbean, there is a welcome aboard party/lunch.

I bring home the bag with lots of uses for them

[jeanlyon]

I never thought of re-using the bag!!  I don't do the welcome lunch either.

Not 100% but I think that applies to Caribbean tier?

Or maybe I am confusing it with the peninsular lunch  ?

I think there's a cocktail party on cruises of 8+ nights, so I'll miss out in May, but be OK in September

To be honest, the only thing I appreciate it the discount on spend.  They can keep everything else.

[binman2]

The only thing we really get out of it is the chance of early boarding .We usually stay the night before and arrive at 11.30 and onboard for 12.30  ish which suits us well .Never really get into 10% discount as we never have much of a bill after spending obc

No difference between Caribbean and Ligurian really.

I luv the slippers and reuse the bag and also luv the welcome lunch

 

[majortom10]

The Welcome Aboard lunch even though only a buffet on Iona is a relaxed start to the cruise without the hussle and bustle of the smash and grab....sorry I meant Horizon Buffet. Also to be honest the Peninsular Club lunch we had towards the end of the cruise was possibly the best meal we had onboard.

With the recent high OBC give aways, the loyalty discount has had little or no value on our 3 post covid cruises. I think our total spend over the 3 was about £30, not much you can buy with £3.

Almost the same topic ...... has the Captains speech/free drink party returned or is it still a voucher for a glass of fizz?  Also, is there a peninsular club drinks evening?

[Fionboard]

Was a Peninsular cocktail evening on Aurora last week. Back to normal with choice of any drink you want. Very generous with the booze too!

I wonder if this will limited to the older ships, there was no sign of a Peninsular cocktail party on Iona last month.

Probably not so many Ligurians and Baltic's on new ships. Plus Iona has no venue suitable to hold such a private event. It was very well attended.

There is also little space to hold the Captains introducing senior officers etc. Maybe the Clubhouse or the theatre but not the atrium
