Catman,
Just curious as to when you took your last Celebrity cruise? All the perks you mentioned sound "wonderful." We just got off the "Mercury." We did receive the free champagne, which was a "delightful" touch. However, we didn't have anyone to greet us and show us to our cabins. No towels or hot choclate after getting back on board from different ports. No smiley guy at the buffett. No discos late at night. They did have some bands playing in different areas but no crowds. Actually, no one was in any of the clubs except for the band. We went to each one looking for the night life and found the same in each club. Everything was "empty" after the late show each evening except for the casino. We took long walks up on the Promenade deck each night between 8:30-11:30 p.m. and had the place to ourselves. It was very nice and peaceful. After 10:30, when the last show ended all was again "quiet" except for some casino activity.
It sounds like you had a "wonderful" experience. We had a "sky suite" which had a pair of binoculars, bath robes, an umbrella in the closet, a butler and a "fabulous tea" each afternoon. Those extra "perks" were "fantastic." That really spoils you. Loved the "butler." Would like to have one of my own. (ha)
Just curious, if Celeb. has changed much since being bought out? It was our first cruise so we can't really compare to previous cruises with them. I'm reading both good/bad about Celeb. just as you do with any cruise line. We felt the "service" was "superb." It sounds like the service you rec'd was "outstanding."
Glad to hear you had a wonderful cruise on board. That's what makes "cruising" so special.
