maxsales Posted November 22, 2013 #201 Share Posted November 22, 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. Not for long is my guess. New system will provide points on $$$ spent is where I think this is going. Spend more and earn more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrr Posted November 22, 2013 #202 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Us to. We also joined when you had to pay and credits were 1 point per cruise. They didn't have Concierge Class cabins and even longer cruises were 1 point. I think we should also automatically become Zenith. CruisingChick - I think it was better when we paid for the membership... It was much more "Exclusive" - kept out "The Riff and The Raff." :p Now we have two votes for Founders to automatically become "Zenith" Members...:) We will see where we end up in the scheme of things for our March cruise... Happy Sailing!! Edited November 22, 2013 by neilrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billscruiser Posted November 22, 2013 #205 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Make that four votes for Founders....We are Elite, went over to RCCL first cruise as Diamond, and are Diamond now in our own right. Those balcony discounts are really great. :o Are now back to Celebrity. Aqua Class is what has us hooked now. Kathryn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny01 Posted November 22, 2013 #207 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) I'm really enjoying this thread and enjoying the jesting. Can you picture the 'Zenith' member who does have 3000 pts (100 current-type I guess) sitting in the Michael's Club Concierge Lounge with all the other 3000pt Zenith members??? Boy, that would be interesting sitting in some Lounge.....All By Yourself!! Ha! Can you see the posts on the Forum and Roll Calls: "I'm a Zenith and going on the Celebrity Eclipse cruise on 15 Jan 2015, can someone who is also a Zenith PLEASE join us??? We are tired of drinking by ourselves in Michaels Club...my Dr says thats a major indicator alcoholism.....Please Save Me!" And as to letting Founders be upgraded to Zenith, remember the whole point of these things is to get us to cruise with them more, not award what we did years ago. But nothing like wishing. Looking forward to seeing what is actually presented and how the points will be assigned/awarded. I think I'll be an Elite Plus and iI'll make Zenith about the time I turn 90!!

jagoffee Posted November 22, 2013 #208 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi AndyI 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. ;) You might try calling The Captain Club if you have not already called them. They removed my Captain Club number from my reservation and I was able to get into my reservation. I will need to add it back in later. It was related to a format different between the Captain Club file and the booking. (In my case it was related to a suffix in my name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(When I want to order luggage tags and make sure they have my passport and other important info) It shows up on my profile but won't let me access any details. Interestingly cruises for 2015 are totally accessible. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den My guess is that the Suite benefits may also be improved since Celebrity is behind the competition in that area. Perhaps the Zenith category gets the most of the same enhanced benefits as Full Suites without actually paying for a suite. For instance unlimited free Internet, laundry, and special lounge. (Just speculating) I would certainly agree that those obtaining 3000 points (assuming 100 old style points) would be a small exclusive number. On the other hand if you earned 3 points a cruise it is 34 cruises it is certainly obtainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20pluscruises Posted November 22, 2013 #212 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Is there a way to check that all cruises and points have been added to your account? Over the years we believe quite a few are missing. Started cruising with Celebrity in 1990 1 to 2 cruises every year. My points don't seem to add up and we never really bothered to look into it after we reached top tier Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggie.1008 Posted November 22, 2013 #214 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I`ll vote for us Founders members ! In our early cruise years we tried all the different lines. We have 40 cruises and 20 of those on Celebrity. If we had stayed with Celebrity on all we would be Zenith by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you can check out your cruising history, which you probably have already done, you must be able to prove you were on a particular ship at a particular time. My wife succeeded in having points credited because she had documents from an ancient cruise. Celebrity didn't know who they were dealing with.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe — if all your cruises were long and in concierge class or above — you'd be Zenith after the changes happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franksandy Posted November 22, 2013 #218 Share Posted November 22, 2013 My old client turned TA....Mary Lou Pugh passed away last year...with over 200 cruises under her belt with RCI...On many ships she was given a upgrade to the Royal Suite....I wonder what she would think of this now...

ariawoman Posted November 22, 2013 #219 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Are you just a part time TA then? That would be correct, yes. But I'm available to my clients pretty much 24/7, so I dont really look at it as part time as most agencies close. Thankfully this world is so connected that i'm never far away from the ability to help out a client. At some point it would be nice to be able to just do it as my main job, however my FT position is far more stable as I couldnt' live on commission alone since you never know when you'll get another booking, and then have to wait for said sailing to occur. People that work salaried probably operate much differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compass Rose Monica Posted November 22, 2013 #220 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Looks like I remain in Elite (300-749) right now. After my April 2014 TA cruise, I'll slip into elite Plus (with a total of 780). While I like the idea of the extra intenet package, how about extra laundry services? I'm not a coffee/cappuccino/latte drinker; and the ship already advertises specialty dining at 50% at the beginning of the cruise. I wonder what the, "...an more." is supposed to be? I agree with aother poster that there should be a tier between Elite Plus and Zenith. WOW, I'll never see the Zenith tier!! :eek: Maybe an Elite Gold Plus of 1,250 to 2999, with the ElitePlus 750 to 1,249 = cut it in half.

Full90 Posted November 22, 2013 #221 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Did anyone clear this up? We have 9 points now (=270 in the new system) an extra 50 points added right now (=330) would put us into Elite for our upcoming cruise. This would be a nice thing if true. Just FYI, 270+50=320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be an even lower volume use of Michael's than they currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
