I hope you have provided this feedback in the e-mail survey. Sounds like something important they should consider.

Yes. There are several beers in bottles and cans. I usually get the Pop's Porter.

The "$600 in value" is talking about the specialty restaurants and WiFi that is included, compared to other lines that charge for it.

I'm bringing Celebrity cruisers on VV on Friday. I'll let you know what they think.

Last month I went on Celebrity. I had only experienced VV before. Celebrity was remarkably inferior. VV staff is much better, overall (with a couple of notable exceptions). Not sure why you think otherwise.

I did get this fixed, and now I'm in a central sea terrace.

It's completely free, so far.

Thanks. Someone else said this, as well. I reached out to my TA and she says she will fix us up.

Correct. No perks with the mileage cruise. I did get my access key and booked April 8. You should call and see if you can switch yours to March 11, if that's what you really wanted. Also, for others: Note that the terms are a bit ambiguous about which room type you can book when redeeming miles. It says you can book the Sea Terrace (without the "the" capitalized). They really mean The Sea Terrace, which excludes Central. I found this out the hard way (after redeeming). The great news is that you don't even have to pay port charges or taxes (I found this out the easy way 🙂 )!

I just noticed that they also have one for the 5-day cruises on SL. Link here

I was hopeful that I would get it as quickly, but it's already been around 8 hours for me and no access key yet 😞

Let us know how the process goes. I'm probably going to do this in the next 2 days, as well.

You're not waiting until the 30% bonus?

It's not a terrible redemption rate. I know many people who are happy with 1-2% return on credit card spend, and this is closer to 3%. Personally, I try for closer to 20-25%, by using it for premium cabin international flights (100,000 points would get me round trip business class to Europe), but I might hop on this.

I'm traveling with family (in another room) in 2 weeks. We already got the referral bonus for each other. Do you think we can add "Sail and Celebrate Together"?

This makes me a bit nervous about my Dec 24th 1st sailing of Brilliant Lady 😮

They do. There is an "Upgrade Desk" right after you check-in, on your way to security. (In Miami)

I did it last cruise, and it was beer. The one with a different name was a different activity 🙂. And it was specifically with The Bounce.

I'm all for drinking all day, but I hope this one isn't really in the morning...

It was one of my favorite things on our last cruise.

Just wondering if there is any benefit, other than price, to parking at the port over Uber? If you park at the port, is there a delay since everyone is leaving at the same time? Or is it reasonably quick to get out? Also, I've been reading about a "free shuttle" from parking to the terminal. How far away is it?

Thanks, will do. So don't even bother with the concierge? And do you think I should book the 9pm just in case?

First time on Celebrity. I'm realizing late that on one of the nights I'd like to eat in the Tuscan Grill. It is too late to get the time I would want. The app only shows 9pm available. I'm just wondering if there is any potential for me to get in earlier, whether by waiting until I'm on the ship, or doing something in advance. I have a concierge cabin, so is this something I might use the concierge for? The answer that I'm likely S.O.L. is a fine answer, if that's the story.
