Who has accumulated the most Club Points (via PUPs) before their first Celebrity cruise?

PowerUp Point Activity Summary (Including Q&A Webinar with Laura) PowerUp Points from social media activity not included.

Thanks. I checked mine and I got the three Club Points as well.

If you look at Settings>Privacy & Security>Location Services, you will get an idea of some of the apps that may depend on GPS (not all apps "Location Services" are completely GPS dependent as they can use other things like W-Fi). For me the most important apps that become disabled or less functional when GPS is switched off is Uber (less convenient to use), camera (no geo tagging of my photos), Pokemon Go (won't work), mapping services (less convenient to use), and weather apps (less convenient to use).

As you probably know, when you raise your wrist to look at the watch, there is a ~7 second digital Snoopy cartoon that plays (many with Woodstock in it). There are so many different ones, I have rarely seen a repeat. I try not to chuckle out loud at the office.....

As long as my new Snoopy watch face works onboard, I am happy.

Once a year for us because of work schedules. But thanks to Covid induced delays, we’ll be taking two exotic cruises (not B2B) in Nov and Dec.

Bonaire is renown for its diving and snorkeling. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I think that the risk level is pretty small. I also think your Edge cruise to New Zealand is just too awesome to give up. Great ship, great itinerary. Besides, that plane ain’t getting shorter as you get older!! Milford Sound, Solstice, Dec 31 2019

Yes. I wasn't suggesting that the lack of paperwork inspection would tempt me to not get one next time. I am pretty sure that I printed out the paper copies because that was the instruction on the ETA website after the payment was processed. When we purchased our NZ ETAs for our second cruise out of Sydney, I remember that Guest Relations called me to tell me that they didn't have the NZ ETA on file for our daughter. I gave them the paper copy that I brought with me and they were satisfied. So there's that.....

Your hotel's live webcam is pretty nice. Have fun in Sydney.

Been to Sydney twice for cruises and you are right, the paper ETA was not examined at all. During our first trip the immigration officer said that he could see it electronically (or something like that) when my passport was processed.

How much time in total do you estimate that you have spent with FBC for this particular sailing?

No. We never ended up booking any of them.

Last year, we received multiple BCC offers spaced about 5 months apart (July-Dec). It was during a time that it seemed like Celebrity was desperate with filling their ships.

A far cry from the Captain and boombox being offered to the OP.

Then there’s famous Cask 23…. And I hope we get more PowerUp Point opportunities.

A toast to more PowerUp points!

That sounds great. My wife and I honeymooned in Hawaii but we visited several islands and only spent 3 nights in Kauai. As you probably know, it is a beautiful island. Very little night life but somehow I am sure you and your newly married spouse will figure out something.

Thank you for the update. $6,000 doesn't go very far on a Celebrity ship. Kauai on the other hand, well what's not to like about that! Sounds like an awesome idea. I take it you are honeymooning there? Congratulations and good luck with your destination wedding!

Thank you for posting. We will be on her in April.

The Captains Club Afternoon Tea (Elite and higher) was nice even though it was done once per sailing. I'd like to see them bring that back.

I actually did both.

We are the idiots for reading this thread--especially if it turns into another mega problem thread! Just kidding (kind of). Seriously--good luck, I hope everything works out.
