Rare ghstudio Posted November 21, 2013 #176 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think I'm going to leave my desk for a couple of hours and come back when it's an appropriate time for a glass of wine. This kind of entertainment requires a nice glass of shiraz. Good idea...and my DW gave me three coupons to use on drinks tonight between now and 7pm.

Rare travelberlin Posted November 21, 2013 #177 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Captain's club points are given by passenger, not by cabin or fare price. You get the points that you deserve and your (non existent) cabin mate also gets their points. I am not sure I have understood your answer. Could you please kindly explain?

Rare ghstudio Posted November 21, 2013 #178 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) I am not sure I have understood your answer. Could you please kindly explain? If you had three in the cabin, each would get captains club points. Points are earned per passenger, not per cabin or per fare paid. Your fare is double, but you are one passenger. I am not saying that this is right or wrong...but that's the way celebrity has implemented the program.

Rare travelberlin Posted November 21, 2013 #182 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Likely because paying twice the amount doesn't make you twice as experienced on the line. Not like you have 28 days sailed if you sail for 14 solo. You still only sailed 14 days. All that said, I wish cruise lines had better options for solos; like studio cabins. I know some ships have them (NCL Epic for example) but it would be nice to see those filter down to most ships. Thanks for your answer. I wish to point out however, that sailing in concierge class also does not make us more experienced and if the cruise is 14 nights, it remains 14 nights. However, Celebrity gives an extra point for sailing on Concierge. What is the reason? Probably the higher price paid. When I cruise solo I do pay a higher price per person. Thank you for your solidarity for solo passengers. MSC cruises charges only 50% solo suplement, Crystal cruises have promotions in which you pay about 35% solo suplement. So does Silversea. Sometimes also Azamara. It would be nice if also Celebrity would have reduced solo suplements.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivi9909 Posted November 21, 2013 #183 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Celebrity delayed the introduction of new CC system because they feeled their web team was not yet ready to handle it.

I dont know, I guess simply because it's based on 1 passenger and the price they are willing to give to the man. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 4cats4me Posted November 22, 2013 #195 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I don't care if I have 3 points or 30 points, if I am a Founder's Member, lol... Anyone remember that one ? or a Classic member. I am a now-defunct Founder's Member which I PAID for in 2001 after our first Celebrity cruise, but now I am a Classic Member, which I did not pay for, soon to be Select, whatever that means But all I really care about is my next Celebrity "qualkity" cruise in April Celebrity is the best!

stipmom Posted November 22, 2013 #197 Share Posted November 22, 2013 We became founders members after our first cruise in 1996. . After sitting in the theatre waiting to disembark we decided it was worth the $ to get out when we wanted to leave. We are at 28 cruises now, will earn 2 more credits at our next sailing . We have about another 15 cruises between Carnival, rccl and Princess. Had they all been on celebrity we would still never be able to reach zenith in this lifetime.

Andy Posted November 22, 2013 #199 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi Everyone, Looks like it's been an interesting day. At least we finally have a hint of information.... or should I say inflammation :) 200 posts on this thread, and everyone is still guessing. Anyone else wonder if this is by design ? Looks like I picked a great week to be on vacation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted November 22, 2013 #200 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Hi Andy I would say it's by design IF the rest of the website worked. We haven't been able to access our booked cruises for weeks. Last week I paid in full for the next one so was hoping that might change things but I still can't access it. As far as the new "tiers" - I think it's been fun speculating. ;) Edited November 22, 2013 by chamima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
