So many things are different now. Experiences from a few years ago may not be relevant any more. The PVSA is still in force, however so to answer the question, first we need to know the itinerary

What is the next port? What is the itinerary?

It isn’t a question of saving money, it is a question of getting extra onboard credit. If you think you can save money with a travel agent, then make the booking on board and transfer it to the Travel agent.

I wouldn’t base future reservations on this one example of getting the happy hour drinks in the dining room. Whether it was an inexperienced server? Or a waiter who didn’t know the policy? Or just didn’t care? I don’t think you’ll be able to get a happy hour drink in the dining room as a general matter of course .

first, and easiest way to fill your bottle is from the tap. The water on board is all filtered and safe to drink and does not have salt in it as some people fear. Or, at the Ocean view you can get all the water you want, although they do ask you not to refill your container directly. Fill a glass, and then transfer from that glass to your contact. (They want to avoid having your container possibly touch the spigot. ) Otherwise it just takes a moment to get a bottle (or can, or carton) of water at Cafe al Bacio or any other bar. and finally, yes you can bring a case of water on board with you which might make sense if you have no beverage package.

I have never tried emailing but I have called the Captains Club desk when I have been missing points. I have sent screenshots which have been forwarded onto the loyalty desk. It generally takes quite a while for them to investigate. Right now, I am missing five points from the promotion where you booked a flight by Celebrity. The Captains Club representative said that it could take three or four weeks before I actually see those points, not surprising because of the holiday timeframe.

The report of the death of PUP was, happily, premature.

Who knows? Prices may be even higher then.

Still no for day one Elite Cocktails Additionally there is no coffee House breakfast on disembarkation morning. In other words, the information on the website is incomplete. No surprise.

Pretty much like what you find at an airport.

At the moment, it’s all moot because Celebrity doesn’t offer it out of Florida.

Nothing special unless you book during a promotion. The TA days count the same as any other days, normally.

Millennium August 2018. They must not have decided to implement this fleetwide, so far

See this thread

There should be some tea sandwiches, scones, cookies, etc at OceanView around 4 pm. Check the Daily or just wander up there. They could be all the way aft, not close to the entrance. Back by the pizza.

Not out of line but it’s sadly, just another symptom of the confusing and outmoded booking system used by both companies.

Short answer to the OP’s question, no

Exactly. They both use the same booking engine.

Celebrity IT strikes again.

No, not unusual

Yes they are offering them. Celebrity IT strikes again.

I remember vividly a number of years ago that there was a transatlantic cruise which started in Southampton and should have visited Bermuda but bad weather caused many delays and the Bermuda stop was skipped. Not good news for the passengers on board who were using the ship as a means of moving lots of their household goods from Southampton to Bermuda. They had to make the uncomfortable choice of getting off in New York or going on to Florida with us and then having to pay big bucks to ship their many suitcases from the States to Bermuda. Whoops.

The OP would like to sign a waiver to allow under21 to drink. The itinerary is wrong for that. the in-room mini bar is an issue. who is responsible if the under-21 violates the rules is also at issue.

I get where the OP is coming from. The 19 year old is going to be the one to make the decisions and take responsibility for his actions. But the OP will share the blame if the 19-year old gets into trouble for that decision while on board. So whether one agrees or disagrees with Celebrity’s policy, everyone should know what it is and what can happen if it isn’t followed.

No, you can only get the drinks listed on the Elite menu and coffee isn’t one of them
