I am sorry you’re not getting what you wanted on this PowerUpPoint opportunity. But I am a little taken aback by some of the responses. The cruise line are giving you something for free.It seems a bit ungrateful to complain that it doesn’t fit your needs.
Maybe I am overly influenced by conversations with children at this time of year and what to do if they get a Christmas present they don’t want, teaching them to smile and say “thank you” not “ I can’t use this, give me something else”

 

maybe the next PUP will be more to your liking.

Getting it free means I can't it return for a refund.

I thought when Celebrity was wishing me a warm and wonderful Christmas that meant PUP points but sadly I was mistaken

I'm also looking elsewhere and just booked Princess for January even thought I'll be Elite plus on my next 2 Celebrity cruises. They are getting too expensive and seem to be nickel and dimeing at every turn.   Also my CVP is not answering my calls and agents have been most unhelpful. 

I have loved Celebrity but aside from price differences Princess and HAL have the best itineraries in Alaska.  They have the most permits into Glacier Bay. Cekebrity has none!  Don’t give up on a great itinerary for the few PUPs points X us now “selling “to you.

I enjoy her social media content and I'm sure she is a great person (never met Cpt. Kate) but the personality cult is getting a little over the top and it seems to increase all the time.

She is a nice person. But what is important is that her "nice person" persona is not just a mask designed for social media or whatever. We've sailed with her on two different ships, Summit and Eclipse or Equinox. The staff and crew respected her, enjoyed working for her, and did their best to emulate her "nice person" example. She runs a good ship! And oh by the way is fun and engaging and self effacing and, if some want to "certify" her as a Media Star, then I don't hold that against her. I think Corporate does well to put her out as an example of officers one might meet if they would only buy a Celebrity cruise. Good marketing ploy.

One of my clients, who was a Navy commander, said, after reviewing her credentials, that she's a legitimate rockstar.

That said, I think they make too much fuss over gender.

We've sailed with Capt. Kate a few times and have met her and Bug naked too. 🐈‍⬛

She's the real deal, a truly down to earth and all around nice person. She is a also great ambassador for the X brand.

Flights by Celebrity bookings were made last month, two of them to be exact.  It’s the 14th of the following month.  Am I right an expecting that the Captains Club points should get into my account today?

 

Would be interested to hear from anyone else who did the flights for Celebrity promotion last month and is also watching for the points to be added.

Usually you don't get the points until after the flights. 

[cruisestitch]

That isn’t what the offer said.  I am hoping this won’t become a kerfuffle.

 

[cruisestitch]

Yippee I got 5 just now, 5 to go and I am hopeful they will get added soon

[WestLakeGirl]

Any success?  We also booked during the FBC promotion and are still missing some points.  Hate to waste time calling if the points are eventually getting added

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

The gravy train seems to have pulled to a stop, at least for now.

 

About all I can bank on any more are the Go Green points. Scored 24 last month 🙂

Did any Elite member get the email from Celebrity to join the Metaverse? I've not done so yet, but wonder if any PUPs are attached to it.

[WestLakeGirl]

Got that email but there were no PUP for it

No points attached to the offer. If they want us to do marketing for them it would be good faith to offer a benefit at least in the form of PUPs.

Where do you request the Go Green for a sailing?  In the past I got an email asking me to opt-in.  I sail in January.

I received an email for my last cruise so opted in I think its 1 point per night.  In all honesty I did not notice anything different as far as cleaning tidying room.

How far in advance of the cruise did you get that email?  I sail Jan 2nd, and haven't seen anything yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They actually give you a number of points equivalent to one additional night (of whatever category you're staying in).

We got an email about a month or so before our current sailing but it was also available on the website.  I don't recall seeing it on the app, but not sure. We opted in and really don't notice a difference.

It's one night's worth of points according to the category booked. Example veranda=3points per night so verandah gets an extra 3 points. 7 night cruise yields 24 instead of 21.

No difference at all.  I was solo in a concierge cabin for 10 night cruise. Got 20 points for the concierge cabin plus an extra 10 for the Go Green program. 

[WestLakeGirl]

Check that math.  Concierge should give you 50 per night, doubled to 100 because of single occupancy.
