Hey Desiree!

What a nice gesture from Celebrity! What did they send to you?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I suspect there will be lots of special gifts and activities on the Maiden Voyage....and we will want a full report of them after the cruise.

Not saying what they sent - big secret.

But I do have to say, we liked them and thought they are very stylish!! Quite surprised!! NOT baseball caps - in fact, not the usual junk. I really do like to titillate your curiosity - such fun!!

You have to bear in mind that all the gifts and celebrations are supposed to be for the Inaugural-Not which follows our cruise!! hehehehe!!! But for excitement - its always the Maiden of course!!

I would be very surprised if they didn't do anything for our cruise though - and
I do hope we have a good send-off, as Mickey has three ships departing at the same time as us!!! Would be nice if we led the convoy, but I doubt it as Mickey's are regulars. BUT we are Maidens!! I shall be on deck singing Land of Hope and Glory, of course.

Looking forward to the cruise, as the Fjords are so gorgeous to float through. We have done this quite a few times and it never palls. We are so used to the RCCL ships, that this new one will make a change.

Be interesting to see if they do any of the Elite trials on board.

Best wishes

Queen Desiree

Desiree, be sure to relate back to us if/how the new Elite perks are implemented.

Would love to have the free laundry and the internet minutes!

Good news, Desiree! Ed just got back from his cruise and they DID have the new Elite perks!
I'm sure he will relate the details when he gets around to posting here.

Hello everyone. Yes the Elite perks on Constellation were very nice. Hopefully, they will spread the perks to the other ships.

That is a very nice thing to say, but there is "SOMEONE" that doesn't like me already.

Every chance I get.

I would doubt that - I know the person involved and he/she wouldn't even lower herself/himself to dislike anyone they had never met.

That would be stupid and prejudiced, wouldn't it?
