miched Posted May 16, 2023 #27 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) On one cruise dining in Luminae for embarkation day lunch there was a woman waiting for a window table. Those tables don’t mean much to us so we took what was available. She got her table and it was adjacent or ours, as soon as she sat down she complained that there was a stain on the curtain. She demanded another table with a clean curtain. They apologized and said there was nothing else available and it would be a long wait for another table to open. During the whole lunch she complained about everything. That evening she came in while we were there and was seated at another window table. She got up and went to the table that she was at for lunch and looked at the curtain. She screamed across the dining room for the Matre D that the curtain was still stained and the window was dirty. The whole situation made a very uncomfortable dining experience but was rather comical. I don’t know what really happened but we never seen her again. I would like to see the condition of her house. I doubt it was as clean as Raymond’s mother Marie’s house or what she expected from Celebrity. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Edited May 16, 2023 by miched 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayleeman Posted May 16, 2023 #29 Share Posted May 16, 2023 @zitsky You can always hope for high seas -- Natures way of cleaning outside lower deck windows. The downside is high seas can result in some messes on interior floors on all decks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelownadon Posted May 16, 2023 #30 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I take it eating outside on the back deck of the Ocean View Cafe where there are no windows is not an option? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to compare a gourmet using an alternate way of eating with some Joe sucking up the coleslaw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orator Posted May 17, 2023 #34 Share Posted May 17, 2023 X bean counters may consider a "window cleaning fee" at $100 dollars per cabin. They add to the loyalty benefits giving Zeniths a 25% discount ; Elite + a 10% discount; and, Elites a 5% discount. The discount is for OV or above so inside rooms receive no discount regardless of loyalty status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorntor Posted May 17, 2023 #36 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I confess. I dropped my napkin and had barbecue sauce on my hands, so I wiped them on the curtain. I am so ashamed! 🤢 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseheads4ever Posted May 23, 2023 #41 Share Posted May 23, 2023 We were on Beyond mid April. They actually have a machine that goes from room to room, floor to floor that washing windows. I didn’t really see dirty windows. The seas were not rough on our cruise either so maybe not so much splashing to get windows dirty. Gotta be other things to complain about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sommelier in the retreat gave me a glass of Veuve Clicquot when it wasn’t on the menu. 😭 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted May 23, 2023 #43 Share Posted May 23, 2023 It is really BEYOND me how on earth those cruise lines can not get their windows cleaned- get their act together. One can´t possibly expect passenger enjoy their meals while looking- or trying for that matter- out of a dirty window. Spoils the whole meal. The meat turns tough, the Salad turns green, the soup turns cold, the bread get´s dry, the ice creams melts. The passengers get´s into histerics, the waiter cries- but let´s keep quite about it, yes- we should keep in mind: Loose lips sink ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted May 23, 2023 #47 Share Posted May 23, 2023 The windows do have some condensation. They also are battered by salt. You can always request a seat away from the windows if the "dirty" windows upset you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I do it myself? 🥸 Of course you can…. Every cabin on the ship has overalls in the closet by the life preservers. Why do you think they are there? They expect you to help out when you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
