Using OBC on slots without incurring 5% transaction fee
highway180 replied to mhlcanada's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If you go to the casino cage you WILL get charged (in most cases) for an advance on your credit card, and it will get posted as a cash advance(higher interest/fees). If you do a room charge there will not be a fee and it posts to your account as entertainment, so no cash advance fees as well. -
We will be on that same cruise Cheers!

You can't have glass containers in the pool or hot tub, although many do. You Can have glass containerson the pool deck, ie bottle of beer or premium water. They push carts loaded with them....on the pool deck Cheers

No note required call again

Our recent trip on the beautiful Ascent was a bit different. This was our first trip on E class.....a one and done for us....the IV"balcony" or lack there of is a deal beaker for us. Buffet we found to be quite good, lot's of choices. You are spot on about the desserts! Terrible, tasteless, although pleasing to the eye. Fine cut was a bust. Worst steak ever on a cruise ship( dry aged ribeye for an additional $60 upcharge). I feed my dog better! Had great meals in the roof top and Raw on Five. Tuscan was pretty decent with food, service was excellent by any standards. But that was our experience/opinion Cheers.

You may have to buy at least the zero package for your wife. That is what we had to do, as she is a diabetic and can not drink alcohol. Myself,I get the premium Pkg as my palate can barely tolerate the classic offerings cheers

Thanks for sharing, but my 53% discount will be hard to beat, for our upcoming 10 day cruise this October! It pays to check often cheers

Why is Celebrity Cruises Ignoring California Ports ?
highway180 replied to CDRonboard's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Too short for myself. I hate doing a 7 day trip! LOL Cheers -
I think they should let the room steward aware when Grats are prematurely removed, so as not to waste extra time on said customers. Example: where's my luggage? when will it arrive? Answer: I don't know, don't have time to look for it....good luck Question: how come half the mini bar is empty? Answer: You must've been thirsty...good luck Whens my laundry coming back? What laundry??? Give me a break No tolerance for cheapskates Cheers

Can we make reservations in the MDR or not?
highway180 replied to Travelling2Some's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Exactly. On the Ascent , in Tuscan, we did the same thing, and we were put down for the first apt time. There would be a fairly long line before they opened for dinner, but as soon as they did, we were directed around the line and asked to go to our previously assigned table. Worked great for us as we are early eaters. Most people were unaware of the 2 line system ( reservations and those without) and seemed upset that some were allowed to "jump" the line. Cheers -
Unless they are factoring in the up charge for dry aged ribeye. It was a one and done for me. I feed my dog better! But my experience was on the Ascent earlier this year cheers

What drinks package upgrade discount have you got?
highway180 replied to nijh's topic in Celebrity Cruises
53% off 10 day cruise -
Don't forget the premium waters, some say why bother, but if it's included, we do. I also couldn't see cruising without one Cheers
-
Not always true, book the cruise with at least the classic package, then watch for flash sales on upgrades to premium. My upcoming 10 day cruise in October was a little more than $8.30/per day, per person all in.

A strange/ dumb question on corkage fees?
highway180 replied to ilovefriday's topic in Celebrity Cruises
For a while they kinda made a big deal about it, saying you had to a medical reason, making people assume they needed a doctors note and such, but found out early on that all we had to do is call...no note needed. Cheers -
A strange/ dumb question on corkage fees?
highway180 replied to ilovefriday's topic in Celebrity Cruises
That is incorrect. My wife can not drink alcohol ( being diabetic), so she gets the premium non, I on the other hand drink enough for both of us...thus the premium pkg. You have to call to accomplish this. Have done this on many cruises. cheers -
On 10/26 we scored our best deal ever on an upgrade, 53% flash sale.10 day cruise, the total price for the upgrade to premium:$167.60! It pays to check often Cheers

Exactly This is not something new Not sure why the debate I’ve been wearing jeans in Blu for years cheers
-
you can use the app, but I spend more time on my laptop...so i just log onto the website and pull up my cruise. I like the larger screen than the one on my Iphone
-
Then there are the ever constant "Flash Sales" which sometimes yield a bargain or two. I've scored up to 40% off excursions in the past, along with some decent pricing on specialty dining. It pays to check your cruise planner occasionally as not all sales apply to all cruises! Cheers

Yes, and the shrimp were extremely small. Definitely not worth the bother. Myself, walked in, turned around and walked straight to Raw on 5 and had some excellent seafood. Although I had to pay extra....well worth it!
