They use to do it, I know I purchased it years ago before drink packages. Have not seen it for a few years now

No need to do it, they will take a picture at the port. They have had it for a while, I have uploaded pic but they always retook it.

I don't choose based on vacations or anything based on loyalty programs. All of them are so watered down at this point its not worth it. If one does based solely on loyalty programs, to me, not to others probably, it is a foolish way to pick travel.

You can, but I would get the premium and just watch sales as I got premium upgrade for 6.99 pp pd over Christmas time. Been running constant sales

Sorry it happened and glad you had the Chase card with booking. Not knowing what your insurance you had is completely on you. Also not knowing how points are accrued is also on you. Your entitled to your opinion but I am on the opposite side of this and agree it is based on being onboard not money spent.

Exactly, then all the rooms that my parents had booked and paid for family, Parents would have been way over Zenith. Its part of the t&C on how points are accrued, have to be on the sailing.

Think of it this way, Titos vodka is on the premium list so any drink with Titos will probably star around 12 or more. Bullet would also be on premium and I would guess that is closer to 15-17 per drink. The premium spirits vs classic are just based off brands for the drink prices. I do not have the list of which alcohols etc are on the premium vs classic, and I doubt anyone really has a new an updated one as this has changed a few times since the beginning of the year overall. An never mind someone above posted the newer vs of the classic vs premium alcohols.

I used the sauna but I tend to use them twice a day at times. The constellation Persian are ok, nothing great. I ended up paying for the pass, but I know I use it.

Honestly I think the last time I went to any of the CC events was on Mercury. Many I get, do have a preference for it. I mainly sailed with the drink package since its been out there, as always able to get a great rate thru my TA. Not that Im anti social but when I travel and vacation I zone out in every way possible. I use to work a very hectic job, running hotels/resorts/rest etc. I enjoy going to WCB and Sunset to relax have a good cocktail or 2...3...4 etc.

It can easily be done Just tried and was able to bypass the page where asking for more for refundable deposit. No pics as not on computer right now. Question should be more that why wouldn't you want to see all options overall and just go straight to payment after pick room and not be aware of any of the choices.

Exactly, it is only maybe if someone books a room only cruise where it might be beneficial overall to me, tho I usually can get a rate from my TA for the AI that is just about the same as room only with Celebrity, or have in the past, so the added WIFI is no value. I have rarely ever ordered room service, and the shows I dont go often tbh.

On board only, like others said the info will be in your room when you go drop your luggage off. Usually have to call or find the CC hosts to sign up for this. I have skipped this in the past as usually have bev package.

That was one of the perks that I am curious about. Honestly I usually board around 1 most of time and luggage has always been to room by 4 or so the latest. Not a major thing at all overall. I have my carry on and everything I need for 2-3 days in it so not a major need in premium access pass. Could see value for some who want the special seating for shows and or do use a lot of room service. Value wise I don’t see it a need for myself.

The pricing really depends, on many/all of my cruises with Celebrity my TA has been able to give me an all included rate that was most of the time better than what Celebrity was charging for room only or barely higher. I have not tried booking any Celebrity cruises lately since they took out the grats part as I already had booked to the end of 2025 with River Cruises and switch to Small Ships and different land based trips.

Are they more expensive than my at home ones, yes. Do I find them worth it on board, that is also a yes. I always get either a good facial, massage, body wrap and find them very good. I have never been pressured into buying anything, yes there is a sales pitch but all I say no thankyou and it is always ended at that. The main thing with at home, I have been seeing the same therapist for 10 years and knows my body. I always make sure I have one right before the cruise from her. I also book on board as its a different type of thing, its a vacation and its part of enjoying it for myself

Definitely on the TA, if you were not informed that you booked non refundable rate. The TA's I deal with that is always my first question on rates they give me, is this a refundable rate or non refundable. What is cxl policy etc. Plus been dealing with them for years and they know what I look for. I book far out usually 1+ year when cruises come out for good rates, things change and I know it from work wise happenings. Not a Celebrity issue, there is a reason the Non refundable rate is cheaper, because its non refundable. To me its clear, hotels do it all the time, so do many resorts etc. I will pay the extra for refundable as its just part of traveling for me at this point. When I retire things might be different and will be able to last minute kind of bookings.

I bought stock when in the 40s and sold, thought I would keep it just for the OBC but 3x invest much better choice, not like Im going to go on that many cruises with Celebrity down the road as I am aiming for River cruises and smaller ships for the next few years it looks like.

Its in most of the lounges, not one specific spot, a few bars do not have the happy hour for elites, mainly the World Class Bar and Restaurants also do not. All info will be in your room for your level of benefits that you qualify for.

I prefer Tuscan much more than Murano Never had a bad meal experience in either, but Murano has slipped some in my experience the times I went ot it last year. 2 times. On S class Tuscan has a great location and always been great all around each time. But all have different tastes and what they look for in restaurants.

The shop that sells them was up to Jan owned and run by LVMH, so the items are authentic, LVMH just sold the retail part of the ships and hotels that had these shops to a company that already ran a bunch of these type of stores for LVMH. LVMH is one company that does not screw around with fakes, there reputation is everything. We ended up picking up some very unique Hermes scarfs for a decent price. T

People only read headlines, and do not bother to look at the whole context or post whole context. Thats unfortunate. Honestly, I have seen the signs posted for years with the Solarium for kids at odd hours, 5-7 etc. Been sailing since early 2000's with them. Personally, Im thinking of putting a title of Celebrity Moving on from M class ships and S class ships and see what happens. Yes in 30 years guess what those ships most likely will not be in the fleet but almost want to see and be amused by people who only read headlines.

Good beer, The hazy blonde was super refreshing. Should have gone to Juggies Place, greatest dive bar out there. Just for the owner himself. Was laughing the whole time there with his stories

There is actually a deck 13, Celebrity just numbered them wrong.

Not that I have seen, but I also have purchased it on the embarkation day. You can always ask, I know for my last cruise the Persian garden sold out of passes so your playing with that scenario also.

No issue with this as it makes sense, tbh many of the so called adults during the day need to be banned from the solarium. Snoring loudly, yelling across the pool etc. Seen the people who say they are grownup act 100x worse than kids on board way to often in solarium.
