CruisingChick Posted November 19, 2013 #101 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So should we start taking bets on how long and old this thread becomes before Celebrity actually makes an announcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cruiselvr Posted November 19, 2013 #102 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So should we start taking bets on how long and old this thread becomes before Celebrity actually makes an announcement? Exactly! Add to the pile of all the others. Why doesn't Celebrity get it over with or announce they aren't changing anything? It's frustrating and so unnecessary to let the subject drag on and on without word one way or the other IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet987 Posted November 19, 2013 #103 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Maybe Celebrity enjoys reading all the speculation, unconfirmed rumors and jokes on this thread as much as I do. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseacecat Posted November 19, 2013 #104 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I am just giving up on this. No more reading about possible changes for me. If it happens, it happens. It is just not that important in the great scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cle-guy Posted November 19, 2013 #106 Share Posted November 19, 2013 psst.... I heard Celebrity was taking extra time to roll this out so they can ensure every single cruise critic member who posts in this thread can be cross referenced to their Captain's Club rolls to have an extra 300 points added in. I THINK, but am not positive, they have been busy neglecting the website for so long as they finish rebuilding a perfectly scaled replica of the Zenith for a special cruise for these Cruise Critic posters as well. But it will have bot Murano AND Oceanliners onboard and the buffet will have a variety of new breakfast items added to it. This is probably why the Zenith images and marketing materials are showing up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just not that important in the great scheme of things. Or, maybe instead of paying big bucks to a marketing firm, they through out some rumors and see what we all have to say on the matter, and then factor all of that into their decision.

Redtravel Posted November 19, 2013 #113 Share Posted November 19, 2013 This topic has been on the boards forever. It is getting rather old. I am a bit curious about if and when and how the Captains club will revamp itself. I am elite. I joined the Captains club back in the day when you had to pay to join. The perks were one cat. upgrade, no fee for air deviation, and priority luggage service. I have lots of cruise credits. Many of those credits were acquired when any cruise got you one credit. It did not matter whether you sailed for 4 nights in an inside cabin or 3 weeks in a luxurious suite. They each got you one credit. Trying to change from cruise credits to cruise night points may be better for future cruises. As for the past cruises, changing credits to points could be a difficult experience. I do hope that whatever they do, they do not delete any perks that I have now. Also, curious about how this will affect my status on Royal and Azamara. If the main goal is to reward loyal guests, then adding new perks for very loyal guests would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just came off a Transatlantic on Reflection on Saturday and the Captain's Club hostess told me, that the new system would be out "soon" (whatever that means) and that nobody was going to lose any benefits. (For those who are worried. I am not). There were 2100 Captain's Club members on board, 1200 of which had Elite status. This meant vouchers for cocktails and breakfast in Tuscan Grill as well as Qsine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted November 20, 2013 #121 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I heard that for every cruise that the first 200 to book will get extra points, but if you then cancel you will not only lose them they will deduct the same amount from those that you have accumulated and you could end up with a negative amount. The same applies for any cancellation . If you book a cruise and then cancel the credits that you would have earned are deducted from your account. This is to stop people from booking and then canceling at final payment. .🎄🎅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseerf Posted November 20, 2013 #125 Share Posted November 20, 2013 From a PR perspective. You always release bad information on Fridays. Fridays are the news day which people pay the least attention to. The weekend is approaching, work is finishing and more stories will have come up over the weekend which will hopefully eclipse the news you are releasing. Monday people are back at work and scrutinizing what is happening in the world again. Remember that this same tactic of "selling the new program" was used by American Express Membership Rewards when they devalued everyone's points a few years ago in this "fabulous new program"....Always sell bad news in good format.....people believe it. I am interested to see what the next few weeks bring......And what day the release is...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
