Thanks!! CC HH is from 5 PM to 7 PM in the Sky Lounge except the evening of embarkation. Unlimited CC HH drinks loaded on your Seapass card (except for the first evening) to enjoy at the bars except at the World Class Bar if the ship your on has that bar. During CC HH in the Sky Lounge servers serve snacks along with taking drink orders. CC HH drinks are not served in the dining venues. CC HH drinks are not allowed too be ordered for room service or the mini bar in your stateroom. You will also receive in your stateroom a full list of all elite perks for your cruise. The following is the CC HH drink menu. Edited February 21, 2020 by Host Kat Too much personal info in attached Celebrity doc so it was removed.

Since I travel with my spouse, and he has the same loyalty level as I do, I think (but am not positive) that a cabin mate can attend also. Hopefully someone with more information will correct me if I am incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes your cabin mate can attend. But others you may be traveling with cannot unless they are elite (invitation only extended to those in the same cabin).

Meats, Fruit, Cheese Bagels and Salmon, Coffee, Smoothies etc. Your cabin mate is given access regardless of status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that they had reverted to plated, as a buffet cannot be served on carpeted areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted February 21, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 21, 2020 We also enjoy the breakfast once or twice per cruise on S class where you get to enjoy the lovely wake views...A Bellini or two and a coffee with their mixed platter makes a very relaxing start to the day. We were told plated or buffet depended on how many Elites were on board... Re the cocktail hour, although we have a premium package and don’t need/want free drinks we do attend a couple of times each cruise. We enjoy meeting other guests, sharing experiences...Always a nice atmosphere. The Captains Host is a good contact if you have any special requests or are experiencing any difficulties on your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcruiser1234 Posted February 21, 2020 #17 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Tuscan is nice. I just do it after a long sea day/night. Skip the food. Bloody Mary and go back to nap for a couple of hours...( lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Canadians like our Clamato. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted February 21, 2020 #19 Share Posted February 21, 2020 They have it on board, but I don’t believe that they have it in Tuscan grill for that particular event ( the elite breakfast). You will be able to find it at other bars however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRBlizz Posted February 21, 2020 #20 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It's funny, I was so much looking forward to my first cruise at Elite level. We used to cruise with my much-traveled parents and they always went off to the Elite cocktail party, and grabbed cappuccino from the breakfast. And I used to love using their free internet minutes because they never used them. But now I have all four perks for my upcoming cruise. So all the cocktails, cappuccino, and internet I want, which beats the limitations of the Elite perks. Suddenly I'm not sure what will be different about being Elite. Not a complaint at all. I am so excited about our upcoming cruse, and we don't need to feel "special." Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the other perks/benefits we get for being elite or above that can't be matched. Edited February 21, 2020 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a good place to start looking at what the perks/benefits you get. https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/tiers-and-benefits . You will also receive in your stateroom a detailed letter explaining the perks/benefits. We always get the CBP as one of our bundled perks and still enjoy attending the evening CC HH events in the Sky Lounge.

GRBlizz Posted February 21, 2020 #24 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Of course, I've read the list. Things that are new when you reach Elite: Priority embarkation - not a factor for us Priority tender - no tender ports on our cruise Debarkation lounge - that could be nice Elegant tea - that could be nice, although I've never wanted for good food on an X cruise... Persian Gardens - we're AQ, so already have this Laundry benefits - OK, those are worthwhile Discounts on wine, photos, gambling - we never buy any of those. Again, I'm not complaining. The things I spend money on (daily glass of wine, soda and lattes, and internet) are included in the perks deal, and that is awesome. I'm not sure what else they could throw in. Maybe a lovely massage or mani-pedi. But seriously, I am so excited about our upcoming cruise, and with the Perks deal, expect to enjoy it even more!

Evening cocktail time...enjoy meeting frequent cruisers like yourself, it isn’t just about free drinks. Breakfast, try it before seeing it as not worth anything. A backstage or galley tour is usually offered. Frequently a helipad sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
