  1. No, you can only get the drinks listed on the Elite menu and coffee isn’t one of them
  2. Simple answer, no they have made no changes. Thank goodness there are many Celebrity ships with traditional balconies…….
  3. Meanwhile, back to the subject of power up points, I can’t be the only person who did the “flight by Celebrity” promotion. And I’m wondering if people got their points on the 14th of the month, that is yesterday.
  4. Correct. You cannot just go in for a drink. They are dining venues. With steep cover charges.
  5. No it isn’t one point per night. It’s one night’s worth of points no matter how long the cruise is.
  6. But their website (so they say) is award-winning. Unfortunately it’s a participation award
  7. The question is, how will you handle it if their bar is stocked?
  8. Yippee I got 5 just now, 5 to go and I am hopeful they will get added soon
  9. That isn’t what the offer said. I am hoping this won’t become a kerfuffle.
  10. Flights by Celebrity bookings were made last month, two of them to be exact. It’s the 14th of the following month. Am I right an expecting that the Captains Club points should get into my account today? Would be interested to hear from anyone else who did the flights for Celebrity promotion last month and is also watching for the points to be added.
  11. Sometimes Celebrity makes things unnecessarily complicated. This is one of them. On the M and S class ships there is a specialty restaurant called the Tuscan grill. It is an extra charge venue. On the E class ships, there are four main dining room and one of them is called Tuscan. There is no extra fee for dining there. That’s why it was important to know which restaurant/ship the OP was inquiring about. The general answer still holds, you can order as many of each course as you wish. You can even order three appetizers and no main course, or two appetizers a salad and dessert. If you ask them to bring you two main courses, that’s usually just fine, too.
  12. It isn’t so much a question of Will celebrity allow it again but will Italy allow it again. The country involved is the deciding factor.
  13. There are a couple of cruise lines that never changed to local time. Celebrity almost always does. But the situation in Belize where they would be making the change for just one port, for one day, means that often the captain decides not to.
  14. There are others beside recovering alcoholics who avoid alcohol. Some avoid it for religious reasons as well.
  15. It’s not usually there when you are leaving the ship first thing in the morning, but is set up a little later so that you can be refreshed on your return. sometimes water, sometimes hot chocolate 😁
  16. No it is not. They charge for it just like other water purchases on board. Be aware that some ports don’t allow water sales at the gangway so you are better off bringing your own refillable bottle from home. Fill a glass at Oceanview and then transfer to your container to take ashore.
  17. Once in a while, the activities staff still run a bingo game but it is just for fun and there are no prizes involved.
  18. After “paid in full” date it’s unlikely they will do anything for you but the answer is always no until you ask.
  19. This request for an early disembarkation is handled differently in different ports. It will all depend on permission granted from the local authorities. You start with contacting Celebrity. There will be a form to fill out and possibly a fee, usually around $65 per person. also there is no refund for the missed night on the ship.
  20. The offer is extra points for a CRUISETOUR , not a shore excursion or a transfer.
  21. It’s still referenced on the website so we continue to have hope😁
  22. I have never known Celebrity to keep to the embarkation port time exclusively when in the Med. In general they change the ship time to match the land time. That being said, experienced tour operators know what’s up and will schedule their tours accordingly.
  23. But it’s award-winning! Of course this is the award😢
