Just an FYI, I have had issues in the past with “linked” reservations. I usually just search for the other reservation and it then is in my list of cruises. The issue is I am then on the app, able to go into that reservation and see their on board account balance, update their credit card info, etc. I have complained twice before that this is not right and should not be happening. Some of that is private information. Also there seems to be no way to remove them myself, both times this had to be done on the ship.

Probably need to take a screenshot and call before they do change it.

They know that but said they looked at the benefits online and saw the elite discount was 10%.

It depends on your level. Select is 10%, Elite and Elite+ is 15%.

I see the Elite and Elite + is 15%.

How recent did you call and get the NET60? I keep getting the same only NET20 is available and in the past have always gotten NET60.

From what I have heard, Blue Chip and Casino Royale are not merging. What they are doing is consolidating the departments and IT to the same group. I believe they are already attempting to do that with other things like making both companies websites look and feel the same.

It should not be a problem as long as the sale price you booked is for any night. Some bookings are specific to night 1 or 2.

Edit - I found this, not sure if it is still valid but they were giving some factor to CC status. https://loyaltylobby.com/2022/07/11/celebrity-cruises-quietly-makes-changes-to-a-few-captains-club-loyalty-program-features/

Also on Millie you should be able to order off the MDR and Blu menu in Luminae which gives many more options.

That is what I thought. I have only seen the Goat cheese one on the Blu menu. The Blue cheese souffle unfortunately if you look at the current menus, is no longer offered in the MDR or Luminae. So far I only see it still in Blu. They just updated most menus a few weeks ago. Very downgraded selections.

I am confused what discussion are you talking about? I thought your original post was a summary of all the other posts here and on other sights about the changes and any possible responses from Celebrity? I have seen many posts about the changes in the menus and responses from Celebrity on this. Food is very subjective but to be honest so are many of the other issues depending on each persons likes/dislikes or ways of cruising. I think the menu changes honestly affect more cruisers than a lot of the other things mentioned and that is why I brought it up.

Are you sure it was Goat cheese? MDR has never had Goat chees souffle it has always been Blue cheese souffle.

I think some of these sales vary by ship and sailing date. For my cruises they only have a small discount and not part of flash. You might want to call and find out for your specific sailing.

But was that in main dining? I thought that was only in 1 of the specialty restaurants or Blu? Also most of the menu changes I believe just happened in August.

Celebrity may not have made a reference in print but if you look at the menus in current sailings you will see they have all been updated including the breakfast menu in Luminae. There is also a thread here and on the other site talking about the poor food choices. The appetizers are now all soups or salads except for the standard shrimp cocktail or escargot. There are no real appetizers. Also the mains have really been downgraded.

So has everything else that was in the 1st post of a summary of the recent changes. That is why I said they missed the menu changes in this summary.

I do not think they are actually Merging the 2 programs. What I had heard was they are going to use the same departments, IT, technology.

I think you missed a big one with the latest updates to all of the menus. Most are very downgraded in my opinion.

Yes that is the same rate they seem to be offering. It used to be Net60 even for the 2nd room. I also wish they would allow non refundable bookings.

but what rate did they give you? It seems the standard rate now is Net20.

I already booked 2 aqua class comps with BCC for next Feb and Mar on Ascent. But I am now looking at MSC with a Yacht club upgrade. What does the upgrade pricing PC mean? Is that per cruise, per cabin?

So I just checked my offers again and now I am seeing Celebrity comps. Do you know if they offer any discounts for a 2nd cabin?

Had you sailed on Celebrity in the past year before the Apex? I submit a lot of offers to them and have not gotten any from Celebrity. But I also do not remember if they asked me if I had sailed in the past 12 months on them.
