jagoffee Posted November 25, 2013 #726 Share Posted November 25, 2013 For those of you that hadn't worked it out, the whole point of this totally over-the-top account was to point out a few things: - the new scheme is what it is. Get used to it, accept it, or move on. Stop whining. - no-one except you really cares about your level - enjoy the perks, have a great holiday, and move on. - a commercial model which rewards people who pay more than those who pay less and expect the moon on a stick ... well, who'd have thought it possible. It's not as if private companies are about profits or anything, is it? Get used to it. - showing off your future cruises or your past cruises is like wearing speedos (or budgie smugglers) in public: it's pure self-aggrandisement, you think you're impressing people, but they're secretly sneering at you. Suck it up. Nothing I posted was true. All of it was to make these points. Enjoy the cruise. Anything else is a bonus. I'll still carry on posting under my regular account. See you there :) You violated the guidelines and basic ethics and then you come back and admit it and brag about it? IMO you are no better than those that you complain about. I would have had more respect for you if you would have just posted what you thought under you real name, because your points are valid. Of course you probably do not care about whether anyone respects you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like his sense of humor. Just sayin..... I came to this thread because I was so frustrated with the website flashing and that hasn't changed. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20pluscruises Posted November 25, 2013 #728 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I hadn't intended any further replies, but I agree I need to be clear: my last post was not aimed at you at all, but rather at those who are 36-pages worth of whines about a system which is going to happen. If that was unclear then hopefully this clarifies the position. Apologies. Am I missing something? The site is called Cruise Critic, right?

Compass Rose Monica Posted November 25, 2013 #729 Share Posted November 25, 2013 What's your assumption on how many points you earn on a future cruise? No assumption, I have two cruises booked! I'm in aqua class and on 14+nights so that's 60 points total for both cruises. Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoamingRetirees Posted November 25, 2013 #730 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hopefully they are now updating the member benefits pages. The Elite page now says it cannot be found. Maybe we will see something soon. Hope springs eternal! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing the ships are not run like this or no one would even care about a Loyalty Program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In typical Celebrity fashion, they issue the Press Release 10:24am..and the Captains Club Section on the website with the details does not work!!!!

gcorgain Posted November 25, 2013 #735 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Isn't this new? I thought the upgrades previously only applied to Inside and Oceanview. This is very nice to get an A2 to A1 or C2 to C1. One-category upgrade requests must be made at the time of booking and apply only for upgrades within the supercategory, depending on availability. Example of a supercategory upgrade in AquaClass: A2 to A1. Suites are excluded. This offer cannot be used with certain restricted fares including but not limited to Exciting Deals, ChoiceAir® specials, Reduced Air, interline, travel agent, Travelzoo, and employee rates. Upgrades apply for one stateroom per cruise. Stateroom assignments only. Not valid on holiday sailings or Reunion Cruises. Upgrades available from categories 11-A1 on all Celebrity ships except Celebrity Xpedition®. Offer valid for members who are Classic Level or higher at the time of booking.

Best use is probably doing an on-board booking where you get an OBC which is combinable with one other offer. This would be the other offer.....unless I'm misinterpreting it.

wv4891 Posted November 25, 2013 #738 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hmmm, the website is working just fine for me and I did it with Google Chrome. Some nice perks added to the different levels.

bob278 Posted November 25, 2013 #742 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Right now you earn credits translatable across both lines... does that continue???? i have an azamara coming soon? Points earned on one cruise line do NOT transfer to any other line. Only your status is recognized. Here is the reciprocity chart: The following program levels are equivalent for loyalty program recognition purposes: Celebrity's Captain's Club....... Azamara LeClub Voyage......... Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Society Preview.............................. Preview Classic.............................. . Adventurer Select................................ Explorer................................. Platinum Elite.................................. Discoverer.............................. Diamond Elite Plus............................ Discoverer Plus Zenith............................... Discoverer Platinum Edited November 25, 2013 by bob278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted November 25, 2013 #743 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just scanned over the new benefits. Looks like Elite stayed the same, they added a few to Elite+, but where I think they did a great job is for the Zenith, great new perks for them. Hopefully some day, I'll get there, but at my age I don't know. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to know where the management is in this process??? very embarrassing Celebrity and RCL! It is rare that I have come across a company with a worse IT department than Celebrity, but I just did with Azamara. Perhaps they share the same battalion of incompetents ;) I can't understand why Royal Caribbean's web site is so much better than the company's "higher-end" lines.

Kellie Poodle Posted November 25, 2013 #745 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The web site is now working on Firefox. I thought priority tender tickets were a perk of Elite. I did not see it on the list. Did they take it away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember if there was anything else or not, but the list was a lot longer. Someone on Facebook complained about losing benefits too. Celebrity's answer was that none of the benefits we had before have changed--the website will be updated later! :rolleyes: Are we surprised? NOOOOOO!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
