I had the same question. Thanks so much for the info!

Just to say we got the email with that statement AFTER we were on our way home from the cruise. Wasn’t like that when we checked the last evening. We had zero balance while on board the day before getting off the ship. All good. Although we did spend 40 minutes on the phone with customer service to straighten out.

Thanks it was so difficult to describe cause it was so difficult to figure out. Im not sure how cruisers do it with 50 items on their statement we only had 6. Our last 5 Celebrity cruises billing was perfect…

I agree with BOB999. Do a mock booking and they inflate the price of cruiser #1 then it’s 75% off of that for cruiser #2. Just a numbers thing. Celebrity’s good at that.. Flash Sale! Flash Sale…

Great! Thanks so much!

One more! Is whats currently the menu on the app the same as when you board? Or is the current menu just a generic one for now?

Yes one of the 4 main dining rooms. So no need to book ahead of time? Thank you!

Ok we are boarding Beyond on April 22. We are not doing Specialty dining on the 4 main dining rooms. I looked at our reservation and we have CEL Select Dining. So…do we need reservations for our desired time of 7:15? Wait till we board? Do it ahead of time online? confirm once on board? Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry just thought maybe you seen a name badge or two. Thanks anyway…

Why would anyone ever start a thread like this? If you are getting more and bartenders are generous why bring this to light. All bartenders are not the same. Be happy and if you have a problem with the quantity move on to the next bar. Don’t destroy the generosity of the Celebrity bar tenders for others. They will be back to measuring with a shot glass.

Tyler414, Thanks for the very informative review. Excellent detailed information. We are on a Beyond in a couple weeks. We were on Beyond last April and there was a female bartender at the Martini bar that was just getting her feet under her. Kind of shy and timid but really tried hard. We tipped and complimented her on how great of a job she was doing making us drinks. Even ran into the bar hostess manager and said she is doing such a great job. I just can’t remember her name. Now I just looked on YouTube and seen this shy timid bartender standing on the bar pouring a martini flight with no shyness at all. It was so was nice to see her come out of her shell so to speak. Hopefully she will still be there in a few weeks. Do you remember the names of any Martini Bartenders? Thanks again for the info!

Resolved! Celebrity quickly within 2 days resolved the issue with a thorough email explaining and clearing this up. The issue was what looked to be a charge with code OBR-cruise air/port tax free credit of $104. They did not say anywhere that this was a refund for port and taxes because we couldn’t dock in Bimini. The $72 refundable OBC. Both dollar fiquires were in a gray highlighted box which was entitled Payments with our credit card # next to it. Who would not have thought that these were not charges. I am getting better at deciphering Celebritys codes but why do they have to be so confusing.

Cruising on Beyond in a few weeks just got off Reflection using our Elite status for Captains Club Breakfast. Was nice to get a coffee there or a Bloody Mary. As far as 5-7 Happy hour that was excellent too at the Martini Bar. Can I expect the Martini Bar on Beyond to have the 5-7 Happy Hour? It seemed that all bars honored it except WCB. We got the sheet upon arrival on Reflection listing bars but WCB was the only one we couldn’t go to. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes we will get it handled but I just wanted to remind fellow cruisers to check their accounts.

We just got back from a Celebrity Cruise. Received an email with our onboard statement attached which were for purchases on board. It didn’t show any OBC. Celebrity charged $176 to our credit card. $72 was left over from our refundable OBC (which they gave us cash) and $104 Airport Tax Fee Credit which I have no idea what it is. Crazy thing is we drove to Ft Lauderdale from Daytona Beach. No plane involved. It’s like an incomplete statement and makes no sense. We called today and spent 40 minutes on the phone with her. Adding 1 excursion 3 coffees, a night at Murano’s and a bingo card. Simple math add and subtraction. She added it 10 times. Now she is contacting the ship and will get back to us in 24 to 48 hours. I know this topic has been covered before but please check all your credit card and onboard statements for charges and make sure it is correct. We had minimal charges so it wasn’t complex. I wonder what they do when they have 5 pages with 50 charges on it?

So very sorry to hear about your husband. It seems so not like Celebrity to take this lightly. You think they would have been jumping through hoops to make this right for you. Just doesn’t seem right. But yes this is something like others have said take it to the top but you have to know how to get to the right person. Good luck and sorry you had to experience this….

I guess we are so used to the drink package we just loved it. But not so much when it’s $1000. will roll with the HH 5-7. All will be fine. Fingers crossed..

Just a quick question is it in every bar that has the elite Happy Hour? Is it easy to get drinks? Can you get doubles if need be? Just curious…. Any help will be appreciated..

Yes we got the deal as well finally but after running the numbers we just can’t justify the cost. I love to drink on the cruise and liked the easiness of just going to a bar and grabbing a drink. Price didn’t seem so painful but now when you total it up I have a hard time to $700-$900 for a drink package. We just turned elite and will utilize the happy hour 5-7 and the breakfast where you can coffees. We sail next week so will try a no drink package cruise.

Can you buy one drink pkg and one aqua class pkg? My wife doesn’t drink. can Celebrity for her to buy a drink pkg if she doesn’t drink alcohol? Just curious!

Dumb question we have a iPad how do I refresh the app? Delete the app and get the app again? thanks for any help.

I’ve been checking but am stuck in the 15% off Elite status forever. Thought I was missing something.

Thanks!

Thought so!!

I thought you couldn’t wait that long to buy insurance through the cruise line but I could be wrong..
