HI People. I have posted on here and watched the sites etc and pretty much every time I go on here I have to go on here I have trouble signing in. This has been going on for a long long time but I just keep changing passwords to get on but thought that I should ask here for advice cause it should not happen here more than any other site I am thinking.. what do others say. maybe I need another way to approach this.

Well yesterday I was set not to cancel our cruise in June to Alaka but now I am getting more and more pressure from family and friends to do so. I think from what I have been reading Celebrity will give 100 percent credit refund but the cruise needs to be taken in the next two yeats 2020 or 2021. There is still a risk of things still being up in the air  at that time ,with the virus, and even though I have been almost craving this cruise, I don't know if it will be the cruise of my dreams(only our 2nd one ever) if the ship will be filled with paranoia. Also family members mostly on my partner side are begging him not to go. There are elderly people on his side near 95 and 100 years old and his young niece and my own grandchildren to be considered if there are future complications and we could inadvertently become carriers. So lots to consider that are more to due with other people.

We have a week before final payment to decide. I am wondering if we wait till 48 hours before if we would indeed get full credit or if that is a sliding scale. ? 

Did not see that in the announcement but perhaps should go back to read that. 

Thanks for any light anyone may be able to shine. 

I have been gloating about getting three perks ( drink pkg, gratuities and obc ) if we have to cancel due to the corona and I for one will hold out til the last minute, will we most likely have to start out from stage one with no credits. We go in June to Alaska so hoping this could be a non issue by then. I guess that is anybodies guess.?

Yes that sounds like a good idea.. just bringing a couple yeti or yeti like tumblers.. got it.. I am not worried about a clean glass cause I will be sure to keep mine clean no matter whether I bring it or they give it to me. .

H there. I was only on one cruise before and the cruise was with Princess. We got the soft drink package and were given a drink mug with a lid we could use on the cruise for our soft drinks.This time on Celebrity we are getting the Classic drink package. I am wondering if anyone know if Celebrity gives you a mug like this?

The above post quotes the Celebrity website accurately, though. I hope it’s just the typical poorly worded website.

YES  I was told it did include all these perks.

The slot machine knows the difference. As we were playing our $55 of promotional money, every few "wins" we would cash out.....sometimes we would get $1, $3, or more, depending on what we had "won".  For instance, if we had a winning spin of any significance, say $5 on a 50 cent spin, we would cash it out and get the $5. That way you can cash out your winnings and not spend it all, and still play your promotional $$$.

do you get your money back onto your credit card or cash?

I am not sure if this is at all relevant. I just rebooked a cruise from RC to Celebrity to get about the same price and 3 perks. My TA says it is all refundable as they have a group or something like that. I think that it is probably as good as it gets for us but just wanted to make sure. We don't need the internet at all but we have the Classic drink, the gratuities and the 300 dollar OBC and 75 dollar OBC from my TA.. I can cancel anytime til March 16 th or something with no penalty but don't think I  will need to.

Thank for that information. Awesome.

Wow then that sounds promising. Thanks.

Did an inside guarantee on the Summit to Bermuda for $450 pp about 4 years ago.  We were deck 7 so Forward that you couldn't even go any further forward.  We were down a corridor that we didn't even know existed.  Did not have any problem with motion or noise.  Was a great cruise and we gained no weight because we had to walk so far to the food-  that did not stop us though we just walked off the calories!!

Awesome. thanks for that story. I feel better now. I think we could be in the same general area... not sure.. oh well . great perks for sure... We could stay up all night long if need be if we have issues.. lol.

my gf can sleep thru anything too. on a princess cruise we had super bad winds (10 out of some scale of 12 i believe). captain did annoucements 2x into the cabins , which is very very rare. she never woke up from that nor the waves. later we were on the bridge talking with him and he said 1st time since he's been on that ship that he did such announcements. 

 

meanwhile i held onto the grab bar for dear life in the shower. we were deck 10 looking out the front of the ship so felt it pretty bad. 

Yeah when my daughter had a party after her wedding at her house.My son, friend and I slept together in one room while the party came in with loud music and a barking dog. When they were complaining about it the next day,I am like What ??.. So your girlfriend and myself would be good for those reasons but not so good in a fire.. lol..

We paid 33 dollars each more to go into level 11 instead of level 12. I am not sure if that will be better or not but it was not much of a difference.. Will see on embarkment day..haha

that is funny about the 4 am thing. My boyfriend would probably be awake already and I can sleep through a train wreck so we will be good....

Awesome. I am happy with that.

Idid not know you can look and change cabins. Thanks for that advice.

Oh good idea about light.

I am in the same boat but what I am hearing on here is that you pay the diffeence and think the gratuity is included in the package. Maybe you would pay a small percentage over but someone else on here would know.

That is what we thought. Wwe dont plan to spend much time in the room anyways.

 Thank you. Good to know.

Just booked an inside guaranteed cabin on the Celebrity Eclipse. I guess it was a bit of a crap shoot but comes  wwith alot of perks. Anyone have some positive outcomes or words of encouragement  ?

Lol. Not planning to overdrink. Our one and only cruise we did not have a package and spent just over 300 dollars for two of us but I  think with the packages we will indulge a bit more. I heard there was no  diet kind of pops included? We may bring a few tins with us like others have advised.

Thanks for the info.  

We just signed up for an Alaska cruise with some great perks. One of which is the classic drink pkg. My TA told me if you order a drink.. say a beer over the 6 dollar limit you pay the full amount of the beer and not the difference. Say 7 dollar bill you pay 7 dollars not 1 dollar. I forget to ask if there is a daily limit on drinks.. alcoholic or non alcoholic?

well we paid a higher rate(90) to get the 2v or 4v whichever is the better of the two.So fingers crossed.

Thanks. we will definitely try that.
