Anybody know the cost for the upgrade?

My travel agent says I can upgrade my drink package via the Celebrity App. I don’t see  that anywhere. Can I just wait til I board? Should I call celebrity directly?

I mean obviously get it from the bar or whatever . Was just wondering if I could take a glass in with me

Can anyone drink a glass of champagne or wine while in the spa receiving services on the Apex?

Thank you for the great cruise review! We are still planning on boarding Jewel on 1/15/22 for an 8 night cruise and are going to have fun no matter what. We are people who enjoy cruising and can easily roll with the punches. 🙂

We are on that cruise as well. We have a thread started over in the Jewel meet and mingle. Come join us

And whoever has bid the minimum? It says starting bid is $150 it would be pointless I’m sure

Just received the Royal up offer to upgrade my room to a suite. I currently have an aft balcony. However, when searching the rooms on the website it says the suites are all sold out. So why send me an upgrade offer when there’s nothing available? 

I called twice and was told they would not show up until the day before sailing. I asked if they could be out on sooner and was told no. That was two different people. What’s crazy about all this is some get it in advance and some don’t. Why is there not a policy straight across the board so we can stop wondering where our credit is and when it will show up! 
 

It’s been three weeks and the cruise isn’t til Jan. Still call now? Who do I call? Bank of America?

How long does it take for you visa points redemption which was cashed in for onboard credit, take to show up on your reservation? I was hoping to get things booked using that credit.

Just to update with our final results.  Our upgrade to YC Deluxe Suite was accepted this morning - 4 days prior to embarkation.

You’re gonna love it

I’ve seen a white night, 70s night, 80s night. Not sure if they are doing these during Covid.

Here you go

With MSC we nearly always book an inside and to date have always had a free upgrade to oceanview.   Didn't think it was going to happen on our September 14th sailing but it came this morning.  Not expecting it next time  September 22nd)  as we are YC inside lol 

Would love to hear if they upgrade your YC interior to a balcony or if they just send you a chance to bid. 

Curious to know if the upgrade fairy has hit anyone and you were upgraded without bidding or paying more? If yes, what was your upgrade from and to?

Just doesn’t look as nice as Meraviglia was but we shall see. Still going regardless! Thanks for the input.

Recently sailed the Meraviglia YC and loved it. We are now booked on the Seashore YC and upon looking at videos I’m wondering if there is anyway to get some shade on the sun deck? The pool deck looks expansive and wide open on the Seashore. On the Meraviglia the pool deck sat under a semi open retractable roof so it provided some relief from direct sun. Anyone know, who has sailed on Seashore, if there are any lounge chairs not directly in the sun? Or are there any umbrellas in YC pool area?

Hi Hamrag

We we’re balcony Fantastica and bidded lowest bid on YC inside. We were delighted by YC service and for our next one booked the same. We have now put in low bid for YC balcony and will wait to see if lightening strikes twice! 
Hope you get the offer you want.🤞

On yacht club now. Worth every penny. 

Those who have sailed recently… what activities are currently open on the Meraviglia?  Obstacle course/ zip? Bowling? Simulator?

I was instructed by the person administering my vaccine to laminate my card. I'm wishing I didn't laminate mine but I can't undo it at this point. Do you know anyone cruising who also had a laminated vaccine card?

Is there something wrong with laminated cards? Isn’t it protection against ripping or getting wet or soiled ect…..?

Lol, did.you read my post? I clearly said 8/27. What exactly are you disagreeing with?

I was agreeing with you or confirming and clarifying that the other poster was incorrect, not you.

Exactly, Starting 8/27 you have to bring proof. And starting 9/3 you have to be vaxxed and bring proof.

 

So you will have to be fully vaxxed.

 

But navychop said the rules were changed for 8/20...they weren't.

Not for the 8-23 cruise. Doesn’t begin til 8-27 needing a test before arriving at the piet.

The docs will say that, but rest assured you will get YC benefits.

 

The T&C state you keep your experience...*except* for YC. If you upgrade to YC you get the YC experience.

 

Whatever software they use to print the boarding docs can't handle that distinction.

 

Go to the white tent for your check in and have a great time!

Does my check in time change?
