Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted December 8, 2020 #1401 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I got 3 new points in this batch, which is interesting because I was only expecting 2 (and hadn't missed out on any in previous months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted December 8, 2020 #1402 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just checked ours, and we also received 3 PUPs from the recent PUPs offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shipshape sam Posted December 8, 2020 #1403 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Not sure why I am getting this feeling of being snookered. Celebrity is getting invaluable marketing info and I am getting some points on a program that is changing and not for the better. I also got the 3 points. Has anyone reached a higher tier recently due solely to the PUP? We are getting close and after one more cruise, we will be Elite +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we moved from Elite to Elite+ by not spending any $'s but it doesn't really add much value/perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone reached a higher tier recently due solely to the PUP? We are getting close and after one more cruise, we will be Elite +. We've gone up 21 CC points since the program started so that's equal to a 10 night cruise with in interior cabin, or a 7 night trip in a veranda. I'd say tracking things against the typical points you receive for your average trip is a better gauge than if someone moved up in levels. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be happy if they put things into that perspective. Whether or not all these points really matter in the long run is an entire different conversation...….

I mentioned earlier that I had lost some points in the last month. I had an email in Nov which stated I had more points than were showing in my account. When I checked tonight my points now match my DW and are now correct (+9). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted December 9, 2020 #1410 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I got two reminders today to not forget to attend, with instructions that weren't put out on the first one. That's an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaBag Posted December 9, 2020 #1412 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I got my 3 points too. Whoopee. I am 3 points closer to Zenith but the thing is by the time I get there I won't know who I am or where I'm at? Congrats to those who reached another tier. Elite + changed us somewhat. We stopped going to the Elite breakfast because the only reason we went was to get Cappuccino. Elite + got us fab Cappuccino at Al Baccio free. Lovely. We didn't make much use of anything else. Sure do wish we could get this darn vaccine so we could cruise again. I miss it so much. For once, I wish I were 91 and I lived in England!!! Kudos to the first recipient there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to the first recipient there.[/quote] V day yesterday (DH birthday will be forever remembered) but unfortunately the vulnerable are down the list unless living in a care home. 1) Over 80’s and Care home residents 2) NHS and Care staff 3) over 75’s and vulnerable 4) over 70’s etc etc I fit into section 3 on both counts, so I’m not expecting to be called this side of Christmas, so am not booking a cruise yet!

TeaBag Posted December 9, 2020 #1415 Share Posted December 9, 2020 We're in Cat 3 too. Just heard this AM that we'll be starting the vaccines next week, but I'm sure we will be well down the line. However, if we get it by Spring, we will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandwoman Posted December 9, 2020 #1416 Share Posted December 9, 2020 In the US, there is no national plan. The states and local jurisdictions will all be making their own decisions about who, when, and where. I live in Florida where there are a LOT of old people, so even though I'm 75, I don't expect that the vaccine will be available to me for many months. But that's still a whole lot better than a whole lot of years! Because no vaccine is 100% effective, I hope that the cruise lines will be requiring all passengers to have it, just like some ports have done with vaccines for other diseases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted December 9, 2020 #1417 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Well...we're actually still waiting to know what the plan is here in the US...If we end up with those same categories here, we'd be in Category FIVE? SIX?? Who knows? OTOH, I guess I am happy that I'm not in a nursing home...or have to be working on the front lines in health care right now...I'll get it when I get it...and am very hopeful it will be well in time to go on my planned cruises in July! Until then, let's all stay safe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerunner Posted December 9, 2020 #1422 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Much better this one overall then Galapagos one. Got my points also. Was kicked off once.

Rare garyl62 Posted December 9, 2020 #1424 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm not sure this is better than Galapagos one. LLP's sound was bad, slides are late to start, whoever is sharing the screen keeps moving his/her mouse around and that shows to all of us. Entertainment Lisa L. looked like she was sitting in her bedroom at home with a door behind her with a hinge mounted door stop. This would be much better if they use a professional production company and recorded it in advance so they could correct all the problems, including email notifications coming through on presenters computers. Hope it ends better. I'm typing this while the food & beverage is being presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare garyl62 Posted December 9, 2020 #1425 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Ok so Neil has finished and I'll say he was the bright spot in the evening. His sound was good and he even made fun of the "awkward silence" as things took too long to load or dead spots were present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
