port info on cruise critic is really good. check it out.

Trying to make Point Systems look alike reminds me of growing up. Mom would dress 4 kids alike for family portraits. We were absolutely miserable, fussing until we were allowed to change. All different personalities. Same with cruise brands. You can make them look alike but loose something along the way.

PUP show up in Celebrity app before web acct.

We are new to Celebrity, about to cruise with them for the first time in February on a South America & Antarctica itinerary. Because of the December webinar and resulting Power Up Points, my family is now showing as Classic instead of Preview. I was not sure if it would work until after we actually cruised, but it shows up for each of us. It's pretty neat to be able to do Power Up Points. I can imagine how great it is for a boost when close to a new level, as well. Thanks for the information in this thread!

Don't forget to sign up for Go Green on Celebrity. More points for you.

Just completed an Enchantment sailing. Casino smoke was horrible. It's crazy to think they can contain smoke to one section of the Casino. It wafted out to neighboring bars. My husband and our friends didn't darken the door because of the smoke issue. We prefer Celebrity and the nonsmoking Casino is one reason.

It is not the PUP points that gets you the free bag of laundry. It is reaching ELITE status that does so. PUP only help you reach that status a little sooner.

I think we are confusing PUP with Capt. Club status. PUP convert to Capt. Club pts. adding to your status level. They aren't separate accts.

We received our points mid cruise

Webinair was very informative and wasn't too long. I always learn something on webinairs. 

Per my personal and unofficial tracking of PUPs. The first 5 pt. PUP was 10/2020. I have 14 @ 5 PUPs.

DH received his points along credits to my acct.  No problems for either of us.

Info on how Captain's Club and Crown & Anchor Society compare.

Can I Get Loyalty Points by Cruising with a Sister Brand? | Royal Caribbean Cruises

Loyalty Reciprocity Program | Captain's Club | Celebrity Cruises

Remembering when there was also the Ultimate Included (prepaid tips, WIFI,  premium drinks, and OBC). Came & went during Covid. I liked that opportunity.

I looked at the FbC site yesterday for flights to/from Athens, Greece. I looked at the same itinerary on the same airline. FbC were 3x the price. 

Just my strategy. I book upgrade by calling and get discount due to Elite status. If it goes cheaper, I simply rebook. Call Capt. Club to get discount applied.

go to camping dept in big box stores. they sell detergent sheets. small about half the size of your palm. about 50 sheets per package. hand wash socks, underwear, etc. in sink. easy.  let ship was other things. we mix items up, wearing about 3 times each depending on stink rating.  take basic color dress or 2 for dinner that can be given a different look by using costume jewelry, scarves, etc.

stick with one air line, few layovers

We stopped sailing on RC a while ago.  On a whim we did Wonder of the Seas last month and said, ok we are done with them.   Food was the biggest issue, tasteless, cold, lack of choices on WOS. 

We did a transatlantic on WOS in October. FANTASTIC! We purchased the unlimited dining package for the 14 day cruise. Ate in every restaurant more than once. No complaints here. this package was perfect for the TA cruise. Good for lunch on sea days and dinner nightly. Would do it again. Loved every restaurant and the service was superb.

We love Celebrity but specialty dining on some ships is lacking. Quiet ships. very relaxing

I may be an outlier here but I did not mind the Edge Series Webinar.  I like the congenitality between everyone. I didn't mind watching and hey, as a bonus I'll gladly take the points and add them to my total.  😉

Always something to learn. I find it refreshing to find folks excited about their jobs and careers.

Growing up, my parents required myself and my siblings to share something new we learned at the dinner table. I feel that this instilled a lifelong love for learning. 

Always something to learn. Takes more muscles to frown than to smile. 

Husband received his 6 points for Forbes and Webinair. Both credited in points history.

I received 1/6 pts. however all 6 points were reflected in the points history. I'll give it a couple of days to see if they roll in.

To the best of my knowledge, the only time I received an email confirmation was for live webinars. Fwiw

Where do I find a list of power up points that I earned…only see my total points and list of my cruises?

I have called 9x and requested a list of credited points for DH & I, beginning in June. Was told 9x it would be emailed. My spread sheet doesn't match credited. Still waiting......

9 phone calls. told i would receive phone call/email 2x still no response. They owe me 36 points. I have kept record since the inception.
