As for what I learned about Greece, there is food available in the country that is called "Greek food".  

Over there, they just call it "food".

The minimum awarded for any activity is 10 PUPs which is 1 Captain’s Club Point.

And thus far, they've always been awarded in multiples of 10 PUPs to the best of my knowledge. I'm surprised they don't award them in multiples of one million and have a million-to-one exchange rate.

The issue was Celebrity’s.

Only indirectly. The real issue is with GoTo Webinar. They are well known as the worst online conferencing option.

I just got an apology email and a link to watch the celebinar offline.

Brought to you by Celebrity's IT Department

The only reason to blame Celebrity is for their choice of the worst possible webinar platform.

No sound here. But that's probably because I muted it.

I have not received points for the Italy webinar. Originally they said they would post by 5/24.

Wait until the end of the day, not the beginning.

Maybe I wasn’t clear,the following is the first paragraph:

 

“Join Celebrity Cruises President and CEO, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, the Captain of Celebrity Beyond, Captain Kate McCue and special host and Greece native, Captain Dimitris Kafetzis, on Wednesday 25th May at 6:00pm BST to hear about this 10-night, once-in-a-lifetime trip and the newest addition to our fleet.”

Mine is Tuesday, May 24th at 6:00pm ET.

I refer to these as Celebinars. Makes them easier to find in my calendar.

We got the offer for our Alaska cruise at the end of this month, but there is really nothing of interest. I'm trying to decide if spending $33 in OBC for the Vancouver tour at the end of the cruise (which we would skip) is worth it just to get the points.

QA maiden voyage is $3,200 USD for 7 nights??? That's $460 USD/night for entry level balcony.

And they will sell out completely.

We booked Silversea for less, and they include everything

Where did you find such an amazing deal? Our Silversea for next year is significantly more. (And they only include some specialty restaurants, not all.)

Cruises for Jan-Apr 2024 are listed on cunard.com. Cabins go on sale next week.

For 5/22 Ecliose it will be zero, won’t it?

Eclipse is sailing out of Vancouver, not Seattle.

It's not just LPC. Looking through all our cruises, all specialty dining, including packages, now has the 18% added.

My suggestion to Celebrity is to forget the Hubbard Glacier segment. If they don't take time north to the glacier, then back south to the ports, then there is time in the day to have decent time ashore in all of the ports because the transit time among them is fairly short.

The glacier is by far the most interesting part of the cruise. I'd rather they cancel one or more ports and spend more time with the glacier. (We're on the 29 May cruise.)

Definitely a huge waste of time. That speaker was the most boring one they've had so far.

Instead of getting 30 PUP points they should award 300 points so it seems larger.  They could then convert 100 PUP points to one Club Point.  That way y'all can feel like you're really accumulating towards the next level to get a free bag of laundry.

Kind of like pinball scoring inflation in the 70s and 80s.

I received two confirmations.  The first, "Exclusive Loyalty Webinar: All About Italy Confirmation" says it's at 2 PM EDT.  The other one, "You’re invited to Italy" says it's at 6 PM ET.

All my emails, as well as the calendar invite, have the same time (3pm PT).

I wonder if they only take the initial quiz answers.

No, they take the last one.

The response I received after filling out todays questionnaire was

”you have completed all the sentences! If you answered all questions correctly you will receive 10 power up points”

Anyone know how long it takes to find out if they were answered correctly?

If you got that message, they were all correct.

All of the answers can come from cut-and-paste except the last one. The text says "four", but you have to enter "4".

I can say I now have gotten my 5 points for Turkey and 5 points for Spain.  I can say that, but very surprised that Spain was posted so quick unless it is for something else or a mistake.

Spain points definitely haven't posted yet. You must have gotten those 5 from something else.

I think I still have 5 points pending for the Spain webinar.

Those won't credit for another month.

I wouldn't say that. The discount on the Premium Wifi is pretty significant between these two levels.

That has have zero value to us. Never bought it and never will.
