Good for you! I'm not bashing X - they're a great cruise line and this is our 4th cruise with them so obviously we certainly enjoy cruising with them - they just not our favorite for a few reasons - this just adds another reason :undecided:

Hey Joey, how did you do that tabulation on your updated Millie page - it's great!!!

JoeyandDavid · August 10, 2006

I hear what you are saying Jackie ..

We are not Big drinkers .. I mean if we get a chance to enjoy a glass or two of local wines while on land then thats nice.. however... its not a must have. ( Tuscany tour with you guys now becomes even more special for us.)

Part of the fantasy of this particular cruise, ithis itinerary and even the selection of the aft cabin, all played a part of the over all fantasy of enjoying a private selection on my balcony with others of my choosing..

I totally understand the need for RCCL/Celebrity to get a handle on the abuse of alcohol with the most recent occurrences of overindulgence on the seas still fresh in the minds of many.

My only objection to the new policy, is in regards to wine only, we of course will abide by the new policy. ..as we can do no other.

Celebrity IMHO should re-address the issue and allow a limited bottles to be brought aboard and then delivered with a corkage charge on demand. This would allow Celebrity to control the wine passengers want to bring aboard plus allowing guests to enjoy a favorite that is not on the wine list.

We currently have begun looking at the selections available;

Any suggestion for a A Chardonnay would be greatly appreciated.

We'll just simply pick the best one or two for us and enjoy....

yes it is disappointing but this Trip is about so much more than a bottle or two of wine..

As long as The Celebrity Fleet continues to sail where we want to go AND they provide us with excellent service and some of the best food at sea we will continue to patronize.

Okay, Okay...I'll volunteer to be the 'Guinea Pig'.....In early Sept. I am on an RCCL Alaska Inside Passage cruise for a week. I intend to take a bottle (or two) of wine to enjoy in our (aft) cabin. I KNOW they have the right to confiscate the wine....and very well may. So, It won't be Opus One!! It will be an okay wine...No big investment to lose! I'll report back when I return (Sept. 16th).....Let y'all know if they really took the wine!! :grin:

JoeyandDavid · August 10, 2006

cool mikie.... my TA friend that helped with the 55 discount thing say RCCL just instituted the same policy just as strict last week so ... I am anxious to hear what you find out...

JoeyandDavid · August 10, 2006

if you would like to email guest relations drop me a note and i will forward the address. I just sent a letter asking them to reconsider the "wine" portion of the policy..

Dang Joey i understand where they are coming from.... but ya know if it s in the privacy of you cabin what differnce should it make

But the majority always suffers for the miniority who can't contain themselves .. i am sorry for the miss haps on the recent cruises, but dang why can't people use there brains god gave them.....just because your not driving you don't have to make a fool of yourself.. or even God forbid fall overboard ... I understand the liability the cruise have to have for the passengers but when it is self done , there has to be somekind of responsibility put on the passenger.

Ok off the soap box now

Tonia

( will have to wait till i get home to enjoy a nice dessert wine )
