5waldos Posted May 12, 2022 #4627 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I already had booked an excursion with Celebrity so hopefully that will count. I did complete the form as required. Didn't see anything that said it had to e a new booking. But I am so far away from the next level that it is really not big deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted May 12, 2022 Author #4630 Share Posted May 12, 2022 so I wonder when those points will be added…..I am guessing mid month of the month after the shore excursions is taken? Or mid month after the cruise is finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherylc Posted May 13, 2022 #4631 Share Posted May 13, 2022 We have a bunch of "private journeys" booked with Celebrity on a cruise later this month. Wonder if those could count or only new bookings. Also where do you find the form to fill out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 13, 2022 Author #4632 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The link was in the email so you am guessing you can’t get it for previously booked shorex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare abbydancer2003 Posted May 13, 2022 #4633 Share Posted May 13, 2022 For me, it might be worth booking a cheaper one. I have 701 points, with 5 coming for surveys and and 40 for my cruise in May (that the email came for) 35 in Aqua plus 5 for go green. That would put me at 746 for sure in time for my August cruise, so adding 5 here would kick me to Elite Plus for sure at the end of the May one. Decisions, decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not into shore excursions where I'm part of a herd. I just hope we are not training Celebrity that they should just hand out a bunch of PowerUp Points instead of offering straight discounts when they need to stimulate shorex sales..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted May 13, 2022 #4636 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Perhaps the "I don't want to risk an X tour booking because of contact tracing, testing positive, having to isolate in an inside cabin, having to call room service for dinner and being on hold for 45mins and waiting three hours for the cold room service food to finally arrive" crowd is actually having an meaningful impact on tour bookings... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they're wanting to see how much business they can drum up with points that don't really cost them revenue. Discounts may have to come eventually. Lots of chatter about not wanting to be on buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discounts may have to come eventually. Lots of chatter about not wanting to be on buses. I sucked it up and decided to take the City tour with airport drop off. Our flight leaves 16 minutes before 3pm, which is the recommended time for international flights, but we have airline status and global entry, so we should be fine. In addition, if it's 3 hours and leaves at 9am, we'll get to the airport roughly 15 minutes after the United counters get staffed (that was our experience this week) so I think we're good there. I'm not wild about being on a bus, but at least it's at the end. And we can always just not go if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I submitted the one I had- I didn't see anyplace where it said only new bookings but there could have been even smaller print someplace.

I'm going to give it a try. If it's a no go, it's not a big deal. I'm Elite+ and certainly not going to make it to Zenith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our excursions dropped significantly in price (about $100 for the 4 of us) so I cancelled it and rebooked 2 tickets under my acct and 2 under my wife's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterkevin Posted May 14, 2022 #4644 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I wonder what triggers the points? I have an upcoming cruise in August booked and filled the itinerary with Celebrity excursions because I had so much nonrefundable OBC, it was a no brainer to me. If it's already booked, would it not count? What about if I cancel it and rebook it? Maybe I'll try that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italy webinar technically was May 3 although there was some conflicting information on that one about whether points would be awarded the following month like normal or by May 24.

capecodmercury Posted May 15, 2022 #4650 Share Posted May 15, 2022 One question on PUP, is there any way to track them? When I into my Captain’s Club account, I see my cruise history along with the point I earned from those cruises, but there is nothing regarding points earned via Power Up. Particularly since it seems to take so long for Points to show up (still waiting on points from questionnaires in April), I wonder how many times the points never show up. It would be nice to have a list, particularly if it included pending points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
