Part of the reason for the 3 people for the six pack is that they recommend that you allocate two to each person. If you are taking it with you to test at the port location, they recommend that you take two per person. My guess is that this in case you have a problem, or mess up one of the tests. They want you to have two, just in case.

Not opening until January 2022 for vacation visitors

I noted that with the recent 5 PUPs from the webinar, I've earned a total of 48 PUPs, but lost 123 points from 4 cancelled cruises. 😢

Here is something new to consider using Flights by Celebrity if the costs are similar. (Click on the arrow at the top right, pointing to the right, to see the post, not just the start of the thread)

If you test positive while cruising you will be quarantined on the ship until the next port of call where you will be disembarked and transferred to a medical facility. Upon recovery or testing negative you will need to make arrangements to get home.

Do not cruise without a passport!

What happens if you are contact traced and quarantined in your stateroom until you test negative?  Is there any compensation there?

Expand first quote for copy of celebrity policy pertaining to being identified as close contact. 

If you are identified as being a close contact to someone who tested positive, Celebrity will pay for flights only if you booked them through Celebrity Air. If you booked on your own, they will cover costs up until the point you needed to fly, which you would have to pay. 

Also, in order to get some on the benefits, like the discounts on pre cruise purchases, you may have to call the captains club, not all are available online.

For a holder for you vaccination card, I used an extra cruise luggage tag holders our TA sent to us.

I had to just cut off the end and slid it in from the side.

Worked perfectly, and seemed appropriate to use something from our March 2020 cancelled cruise, to hold the ticket to let us cruise again!!!

Watched the Beyond wellness journey on YouTube, using the link from my "exclusive" email, but didn't see anything about PUPs. Maybe a later email???

🤑 🤑🤑 Received another BIG Check for a whopping $2.50.

When combined with the previous $16.68 check, received back in August 2020, that brings the grand total to  $19.18 🤑🤑🤑

We've generally have been doing the Celebrity ships recently for the reasons mentioned. Looked forward each night to fun at the Martini Bar on the S Class ships.

However, pre-COVID, we did like to book any new Oasis class, for the entertainment. We enjoyed the Broadway shows, Diving, Ice Skating, and Comedy entertainment. We also enjoyed the adult (16+) area, in the front of the ship, during the day; having a drink in Central Park at night, listening to acoustic musicians; and people watching on the Prominade Deck or the Rising Tide Bar.

Received this invite to a reveal about the Beyond, but no PUPs for this.

Will probably attend anyway. 🙂

There was a link, but it was specific to this email, and now goes to "You've already registered"

Sorry to butt in but, for the opposite - sailing from Honolulu to Sydney in October 2022, cabins on which side of the ship will have the most sunlight?

Try this site. SunCalc.org

Type in a location in the box to the left, or drag the map to the location you want to view. Enter the date in the box to the left, and used the orange dot slider at the top of the page to move the sun onver the 24 hour period

Per the web site  https://www.sxmprotectionplan.com/  , Cost for those for those 15 and up is $30 ($10 for less than 15):

• Effective 11 January 2021, a flat premium of $30 is charged for stays not exceeding 180 days. 
• The premium is non-refundable, unless you've made a duplicate purchase or if you cancelled your trip to St. Maarten. 
• The premium must be paid every time you re-enter St. Maarten.

Wonder if this means, just once, when you arrive by plane, then again, when you return on the cruise ship?

WHAT DOES IT COVER?
HOSPITAL COSTS - Hospitalization expenses to treat severe COVID-19 symptoms, including specialist fees, diagnostic x-rays, lab expenses and nursing costs.
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT COSTS - Intensive Care Unit charges for treatment of a critical ailment caused by COVID-19.
TRANSPORTATION - Costs of specialized transportation of a Covid-19 infected person up to an aggregate sublimit of $350.
DOCTOR CONSULTS - Costs of doctor consults up to an aggregate sublimit of $500.
ISOLATION EXPENSES- Maximum sublimit of $125 per day, max. 14 days, in case of a positive Covid-19 test result. Preventive government mandated quarantines for fellow travelers and those who tested negative are NOT COVERED.
COVID-19 TEST - Max. 4 medically necessary Covid-19 tests as out-patient with a sublimit of $75 per test. Tests are only covered with referral from the St. Maarten Government Health Department. Mandatory tests required by other countries prior to leaving St. Maarten are not covered.
MAXIMUM LIMIT - The overall maximum limit for all benefits together, except Medical Evacuation, is $50,000.
MEDICAL EVACUATION - Emergency medical evacuation to the nearest qualified hospital to prevent loss of life, up to a maximum limit of $20,000, provided the patient cannot be treated locally in St. Maarten.

Can't figure out how to post a link without my number, but it's 20 PUPs, not 10

We found this thread, plus part 1 and 2, to be very helpful, Some if it is outdated, but still helpful overall.

Today's PUP is available for registration DIRECTLY on the Celebrity website:

 

https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/newsletter/exclusive-captains-club-newsletter-september-2020

 

Some folks received an email invitation but Celebrity seems to be opening this one up to everyone who wants to or is eligible to register via the above link.  I did a google search and found it.  It is probably going to be posted in the Captain's club newsletter for September.  Those go out in email as well.  

Just registered, It was filled earlier, but they must have opened additional spots.

Cancelled our Jan 4 2021 Reflection cruise before final payment on Sept 30th, and received the deposit refund, and Premium Beverage upgrade refund to our credit card on Oct 6th, just seven days later.

Quite surprised, but only $82 total refund, because our deposit was only $50, and the beverage upgrade was only $32, (used OBC for part of the cost), so not a lot of money to be refunded.

Just curious, has anyone kept a running list of all of the offers, with a brief description, the months they were offered, how many points,
