So perhaps they have learnt from that and want to guage the strength of the response from each tier level. Just a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe not. 😂 Maybe it wasn't automated and therefore someone would need to take the extra steps to look up their tier status by CC number It does ask for your "hometown" as well vs them wanting to look it up in your profile so it appears they'll just simply display whatever is populated in those fields. Interestingly, you probably stumbled on why exactly they want us to resubmit (they don't want to look anything up, just display what's populated) Edited August 22, 2023 by NutsAboutGolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebutlerdidit Posted August 22, 2023 Author #81 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I declined to post a link to my original survey because I noticed several identifying markers embedded in the link. MI for Michigan, USA, and ELT (I’m Elite level). These markets are still present in the second link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all had to guess how many questions she would take, I'd personally guess five and at most 12. I believe her team is going to pick 95% x-positive questions and maybe one neutral question such as a food quality question where they'd answer "We've heard from a small minority of passengers saying our food hasn't been as good as in the past, that's why we've already introduced new MDR menus fleetwide" So the question is itself is far more important than one's CC tier status (just my guess) Edited August 22, 2023 by NutsAboutGolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X did try your approach with compolsary AI claiming at various times: Everyone likes it. We have had no complaints It adds very little to the cost Book with a Travel Agent who has Cruise Only deals. One by one all these statements were quietly dropped under the weight of passenger responses proving each to be inaccurate until by the December X changed its stance to " we appreciate that not every one wants or needs a drinks package nor unlimited WiFi and are working to correct this. This eventually resulted in AI only remaining compolsary for Aqua and above. My point is X does listen and respond especially when passengers "unite" over a particular issue of which stopping the permanent introduction of vaping will hopefully be one.

We'll see about vaping, sounds like it's here to stay. AI has evolved overtime, sail only was allowed for all room types at one point and then someone on here complained about being charged for drinks at the retreat who didn't realize they had the sail only rate. Coincidentally that's when X abruptly removed the sail only fares then fast forward to your story where they relented by allowing sail only again for Concierge Class and below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that proves to be correct. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatharbour Posted August 23, 2023 #89 Share Posted August 23, 2023 What is it with all the surveys? Received a third survey overnight. The first two are the same as others have received. The third is a pre-cruise survey so they can “continue to elevate our hospitality”. Slightly baffled as we’re not cruising for another 7 months. I clicked on the link anyway and the first question is about my interaction with Irina. No idea who she is, but we haven’t initiated any “interaction “ with anyone at Celebrity.
