Since PUPs have been abandoned of late, I have been making sure to remind everyone I know about the additional points afforded by the Go Green initiative.🤓 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mahdnc Posted August 17 #9456 Share Posted August 17 (edited) I got us off track (this time), so I will bring us back on track: Usually I update the PUP statistics each time activity points have been credited. However we went through all of July with no points. And since points are intended to be credited on the 14th of each month, we can almost safely say that there won't be any points awarded in August either. So, sadly, here is the data as of right now. Compared to the first two full years of the program (2021-2022), the last two calendar years have seen the rate at which PUPs are awarded cut in half. BTW, if you look at the above table closely, you will notice that historically September is the second worst month in terms of amount of Power Up Points that have been awarded (the worst month is July). So this drought may continue for another month (which means more off-topic discussions will be posted). The chart below shows the number of PUP activities each year. In this case, a 5 point activity and a 1 point activity count the same. Edited August 17 by mahdnc 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had gotten all 122 points (so far), you would have received the number of Club Points equivalent to sailing in a Royal Suite for 10 nights without having to suffer in one in actuality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably missed out on a 100 points , so I would be about 20 points short of E+ 😭😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The May Galapagos PUP was awarded in Jun so it shows up in my table for Jun Same thing for the March President PUP. It shows up in my table for April because that was when it was awarded. In addition, I have 1 PUP credited in March for activity that was done in February. The activity was a Survey. And I also have 5 points credited in Jan for activity that was done in Dec (Deployment Seminar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rina155 Posted August 17 #9467 Share Posted August 17 Thanks for the “tally”. I started doing the PUP in 2020, then I dropped off. So wish I would have continued as I would be on my to Elite plus. Oh well hindsight is 20/20. I sure hope Celebrity decides to offer a really good power point soon since it has been sooooo quiet for PUP opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may re-do my tables so that the one month offset between what I record and what you see online in your points history doesn't happen. It creates too much confusion.

We will be 7 points short of E+ after next cruise and I am kicking myself for missing out early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwainWasMistaken Posted August 18 #9472 Share Posted August 18 I (still) wish that Celebrity would offer milestone awards for levels below Zenith. Zeniths get a free Caribbean cruise every 3000 points, I think? I think if they'd offer a specialty dinner every 300 points, or $100 OBC every 550 points, or a free premium beverage package at 1000 and 2000 points, a photo package at 1250 points... stuff like that, they could encourage folks who feel like they're stuck at E+ (forever) or below to keep sailing with -- or at least looking at -- X. Picking points levels that aren't multiples of others would keep a constant carrot dangling -- well, a series of rotating carrots. But, what do I know? 🤷♀️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always been happy with the perks/benefits associated with each tier level we have paid for. No matter the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I do not, but I swear Celebrity did when I have looked at their prices back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
