fenton04 Posted August 26, 2023 #32 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Eliminate free coffee or charge for refills. We were going to add ice tea. But really who cares🤔? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have an ample selection at Oceanview Cafe in the evenings, I'm fine. Actually, on the last trip, I went to OVC most evenings, not in the mood for a sit-down dinner each day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We prefer the buffet to the MDR because what you lose in being waited on you make up with what is often better food with more variety and unlimited portions in the buffet. Which you can eat wearing shorts and T-shirt. No brainer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexmiller Posted August 26, 2023 #45 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I'm seriously concerned that servicing your cabin twice a day will be eliminated. I know that some have signed up for the "go green" program but that even with that, the steward still usually comes in twice a day just to freshen up. If the twice daily servicing is eliminated, then it really will be only once a day. For us, the twice a day service is a true luxury experience - we shower in the early evening before dinner and the show, etc, and to come back to our room with everything so neat and lovely, is a big part of the Celebrity experience for us. I don't care about the pillow chocolates (my photo is the Celebrity "X" which I made with the chocolates - those that have been with the brand for a long time will remember that the chocolates used to come in many flavors, reflected with the colored labels.), the team of butler issue isn't a big deal for us, I'm so disappointed how X cancelled the Beyond itineraries for spring/summer 2024 and then the changes made to the other ships, MDR changes, charging for cookies!!!, and on and on and on - OH, and remember when pre-covid, every cabin (regular ol' cabins, not even Aqua), had TWO room attendants, the main person and the assistant? (lol now I'm spiraling!), but taking away servicing the cabins twice daily would seriously be the nail in the coffin for us. But since the Board is using Laura as their tool to slash and burn so much of what we have loved about Celebrity, I do fear that this may be the next cut. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
