I don't use facebook either. So unless posting a veggie meal on cruisecritic counts, I'm out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your account is public, you use the specified hashtag & tag @celebritycruises they find it. We have done some of the other social media activities and gotten the points without any CC# involved.

I'm sure there are lots of Captain's Club members who don't eat steak/meat/whatever. Shouldn't be penalized for not cooking this steak. Perhaps that's a way to send a message to Celebrity about this program. We just did our weekly shopping and there was no steak in our grocery order. We have steak at home maybe 3-4 times a year and I don't have photos of them. 😉 Maybe they will get a picture of the crab cakes we make for V-day. Then let's see if they "deny" the PUP. I will be submitting a “vegan” version of this recipe to showcase that Captain’s Club members are a diverse group and not everyone eats meat. I can totally improvise (seitan steak with red wine 🍹). It’s going to take a bit more effort - but I have until Feb 21st to complete the task! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that you will not receive any PUP's for all that work. And since I don't have a facebook, instagram or twitter account, I couldn't earn those points either, even if I were willing to cook steak that I couldn't eat. Here are the directions from the Captain's Club email: Activity Terms: Earn 30 Power Up Points by completing the following: 1) Click the ‘Start Earning’ link above to provide your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter handle, 2) Follow the recipe and / or video above and post a photo of your culinary creation and 3) Caption your photo with #Cookingwiththeclub and tag @celebritycruises. To qualify, your post must be made under the same Facebook, Instagram or Twitter social media handle you indicated. Ensure your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter page is public so we can see your post.

In the video (which I have watched), the original audience / guests were asking about substitutions (e.g., avocado oil vs egg for the Caesar dressing, omitting the anchovies, only using black peppercorns since green peppercorns in brine is hard to find, etc.etc.). In fact, the Chef didn’t even have a NY Strip - she was using a Rib-eye! so even the video which we are supposed to watch wasn’t *exactly* as per the recipe 😉 I’m still going to try it as I wouldn’t mind learning a new sauce for my seitan entrees. IF I receive the points, I will certainly share on this thread (in a month’s time) if substitutions were permitted 💫 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted February 13, 2021 Author #2009 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Slowly it looks like Celebrity is trying to redefine its target audience. It is discouraging singles from choosing Celebrity. It is discouraging upper level Captains Club members. Now, it is discouraging people who choose not to eat steak, be they vegetarian, Hindu, or cardiac patients who are trying to lower their cholesterol. It seems like a funny way to run a business.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
