so someone with say 7 points now has 210 points needing 90 points to get to elite which is a future sale in concierge class. That would gave been 3 points anyway so I dont get why this new system has been introduced?

thanks and what was the +50 points that I noticed someone speaking about?

slightly confused with this as I don's see anything to do with conversion of points?

i wonder if for example you are 2 points away from getting to elite and you already have a cruise booked Will Celebrity honour this or will the new points system come out and blow everything away?

how do you compare hal to celebrity with regards food, entertainment?

That sign on their web site that says hurry offer ends 30th November must be a mirage.............

Hank, You seem to have all bases covered................

Is anyone able to hold search for a specific cabin that they know is available and put it on courtesy hold? Every time I try it says cabin is not available but I know it is

Cheers

Can someone comment on normal weather conditions please. Would it be warm enough for a beach trip?

Thanks

have stayed in cp about 4 times and just noticed the last time we stayed they had a celebrity sign up

really like the cp and enjoy the pool as well as the breakfast buffet :)

I dont mind being not in the centre normally take the shuttle or just stay at the pool

yes there is only one CP in Rome

sorted as I booked the hotel under friends and family rate and they do a shuttle to ship for 50 euros each

Thanks

Yes had a cabin on courtesy hold over the weekend. T/A does not work weekends cabin jumped in price on the Monday and lost the hold. Could not justify the price increase.

Planning to stay at the Crowne Plaza Rome before catching our ship. Having stayed there before on holiday we noticed that it is a Celebrity selected hotel so wondering if there was an option of transfer?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Great review.

Has it been in your opinion an very unsettled crossing [weather wise]?

The conversion is $450 per night. If you think that's reasonable then that's find but for me that's an awful lot of bucks for a room, meals and a half decent show.

I don't think any cruise line can justify inflated prices. I have been looking at a European June cruise 12 night in a C3 stateroom and even with the 15% reduction the cost in UK Pounds is 3,286 = £273 per night.

On our last cruise we received the free drinks package which softened the blow but personally £273 pounds per night is ludicrous.

great reports what is the news on the weather?

Eh.............Taken directly from the celebrity web site

open to U.S. and Canadian residents only, and not combinable with any other offer.

Anyone from the UK used their AMEX card for preferential benefits?

Thanks

we did the wine workshop It was enjoyable but for the cost I'd say it was just okay. You can take the glasses with you or order your glasses when you come back on the website cost for shipments is around $25

Within I'd say a month of using my glasses the chardonay glass broke at the stem [my fault when sitting them down]. Be careful as they are very thin.
