We were on the Western last week and the CC reception was on Monday at 11 - I was mad because I had a massage scheduled that morning and didn't want to miss the reception since it was our first one - had to see what it was about. Free sodas, OJ and teas, mickey krispies and that was about it! They handed out a brochure with some questions and you could get them answered by mingling with other cruisers and CM's. We each got an entry to fill out to win a raffle prize, and we each got a free pen. They gave away 10 Clocks and then it was over (of course we didn't win)
I didn't have to cancel my massage, but the whole time i was worried about what time it was
One other thing I HOPE they will change before we cruise again is SHUTTERS! I was so angry with the lady at Shutters by the end of the week that I just ended up cancelling my package and getting 2 pictures and paying dearly for them. I was so irritated with her - she always seemed to be there too. She was not working with me at all and I was being nice. I HATE all the pics that they take and put tacky borders on them - some are fine but I wish it was optional. The times I asked to have a photo changed or have the border deleted, she got pushy about us buying more than one package and adamant that if i continued to stack my photos that she would have move them and I would have to search all over again to find them. I am sorry but these photos aren't cheap. I wish
DCL would do something similar to what they do in the parks so we don't have to suffer the wrath of even being in Shutters on the last day of the cruise - which is when most of the pics we had taken were up anyways. Half the cruiseship was in Shutters at 5pm on Friday - YIKES!! It would be nice to not have the hassle of searching (some photos all look the same and you are trying to find one out of 1,000). Okay I will get off my soap box now........thanks for reading!
Thanks for your hard work. Hopefully people will look there first instead of jumping to page 1,0XX. Then they shouldn't be scared away.
We had them done with 2 different backgrounds and they had taken multiple pictures. When I went down to the cabin, there they all were. At least 10 of them. I asked DH why he would want to buy all of them, he looked at me and said, "You have to BUY them??" 
Although it will help pass the time.
