Sounds like a good start.  If you happen to meet Jim and Donna Scott from Missouri, tell them that their daughter who loves them most says hello.  Will you be on the next sailing as well?  My husband and I will on the next cruise.  We look forward to reading your review and living vicariously through your cruise as we wait until next Thursday when we fly across the ocean.

General Comments (offer details, etc.)

Bid $700 pp for a CS and 1000 pp for a Royal suite. Bid minimum for both. No reply yet. I doubt the bids will be accepted as there are no cabins showing available above the Sky suite.  The bid prices have fluctuated several times over the last few weeks.  They seem to drop when there are price drops - at least on my sailing.

Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Once we had booked through Celebrity, I only dealt with Delta from that point forward.  There were several changes and they took care of any issues.

Nancy

I called Celebrity, they added them to the purchased items as a promotional purchase.

Nancy

I found the rules:

For slot play, full promotional value of free-play will be loaded to guest’s SeaPass card. Promotional credits must be played through and are not redeemable for cash. Promotional credits must be used by the SeaPass holder who purchased Offer. 

Cancellations can only be made pre-cruise via Cruise Planner; refunds will be made to the original form of payment. After Cruise Planner closes for the sailing, all sales are final. Pre-Cruise purchases made that exceed the maximum purchase amount will be refunded to the credit card originally used for purchase within seven business days after the original charge was made. Slot Play Offer is not transferable, not redeemable for cash or onboard credit, for casino game-play only, and must be used by the final night of the cruise. Promotional chips may not be bartered, sold, transferred, assigned, or gifted. Offer is subject to availability and change without notice and may be withdrawn at any time. This promotional gaming package is paid in non-negotiable promotional chips and/or Free Play. Promotional gaming packages do not count towards loyalty points accumulation. Celebrity Cruises reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions. ©2018 Celebrity Cruises Inc.

So, it looks like if you don't use it all, you lose whatever is left.

It showed up on my cruise planner.  $50.00 and they match $50.00 plus 20% extra when you order prior to the cruise.  I had never seen this before.  Sounds like others haven't as well?  It wasn't there before, just saw it yesterday.  I did order a second one as well, so that question is answered as well.

Nancy

We started cruising Celebrity years ago, but switched off to Royal Caribbean when our boys were looking for more kids activities. My husband and I are on Reflection in May.  I saw in the cruise planner that there is a match play casino slots.  Has anyone ever used this?  My mother and I like to go in the evenings and thought it would be fun especially since I would only be spending half the money I already spend.  Has anyone used this?  Are there any rules I should be aware of?  Can you buy multiples?

Thanks in advance,

Nancy

Choice air has been cheaper for us the last three years for Europe. We are flying round trip to Dublin for less than 2000 per person business class.  We have not had any issues with them.

Nancy

We have flown Iceland air for return flights. No problems.

Nancy

Thanks for the information. I went online to check my history, nothing was showing so I called captain's club and now they are showing up.

Nancy

Have a wonderful time!!!

Nancy

Thanks so much for the update. We will be arriving on the 8th around 0900. We have a private shuttle to take us from the airport to the hotel. Do you think this will be impacted? Also, we were planning to take a taxi to the port on the 9th. Should we set up a shuttle to take us to the port or will things be back to normal after the outage?

Nancy

Ours showed up within a week of when we had redeemed the points. We cruise on November 7th.

Nancy

Namelocg,

Hi Gail, Candie here. My last 3 cruises I organized the M&G and slot pulls. If you still have my number call me, I can give you a bunch of info.

I am also organizing a slot pull for an upcoming transatlantic cruise. If you would send me any info that you might have, I would really appreciate it. My email address as nreinh at gmail dot com. We will be on Brilliance of the seas.

Nancy

They can be done separately. We booked our flight to BCN as a one way and then booked the other about a month later.

Both ways it was cheaper through them.

Nancy

When we went to book our TA flight, it was cheaper to book both segments as a one way flight. The prices were very reasonable and we even upgraded to Business class and it was still much cheaper than through the airlines.

Nancy

I would also speak with the loyalty ambassador. That should not be tolerated...

Nancy

I have always wondered why people want to be the first ones off the ship. To me I would rather stay and enjoy myself as long as I can.

The longer you are, the longer the lines are to get off...

We began taking advantage of the self disembarkation about 5 years ago and would never go back to the other way. First ones off the ship and no long waits...

Nancy

Yeah!!! Have fun!!!

Nancy

Thanks so much for posting. I hope there were no serious injuries.

Nancy

I honestly prefer the drinks being added to the seapass card. Our last few sailings have been TA cruises and there have been so many diamond, diamond plus members that it was standing room only throughout the cruise. Very uncomfortably crowded.

Nancy

Ours just arrived at 48 days out...

Nancy

Awesome! There are good people in this world!!!
