There is a strange thing with the booking system on Celebrity. It looks like you can reserve dining times on the E class ships. But in fact, you don’t have a reserved dining time. It’s all open seating.
It’s complicated, because not only is there the arrival time of the ship but there’s also a time needed to go through customs and immigration. Sometimes the ship arrives on time, but it’s very slow disembarking because the lines back up in the terminal.
No it’s the drinks which are limited. The post was awkwardly worded.
You need a drinks package to order drinks in Luminae and the Retreat Deck.
no package needed for drinks within the Retreat lounge.
Yes still available. Consult your room steward to schedule.
The concierge is a member of a team of concierge’s which includes the Captains Club host or hostess. Any of them should be able to help. Their hours will be posted.
You pick your arrival time when you do your on line check-in. Take the earliest one available to try to make your lunch.
It’s a shame that the staff on board made an error and now the OP will never be back but maybe time will soften the memory of the bad taste left in his mouth
Elite and Elite Plus reciprocity both cap at Diamond. Zenith too
similarly, Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle all get reciprocal recognition at Elite.
You get what you would if you were doing it on board a Royal ship.
this may or may not match what Celebrity is giving for celebrity bookings but more likely is not going to match that
