Milestone Recognition

[UnMe4ever2gether]

Does Celebrity Cruise have a milestone recognition like Royal Caribbean? RC gives Crystal Blocks for milestones.

A huge cake when you reach Zenith?

LOL!

What constitutes a. Milestone.?

[cruisestitch]

Royal has discontinued the crystal blocks, from what I have read.

 

About the only thing you will see if you cross from one tier to another is that your state room key card will indicate the status.

I should get another since we will pass 225 points on next cruise, rccl gives you one point per day you sail, double points for suites , now double points for sailing this year , so in a suite I get double double or 32 points for my 8 day cruise, unfortunately celebrity doesn’t have this.

Glad they don't do that on X. One more thing to dust. Now if they offered a fine bottle of wine...

[canderson]

Yeah, but it's a really BIG cake!

Omg YAY!!

Celebrity gave us a nice cake , bottle of wine and flowers on my wife’s birthday ( I think the penthouse suite had something to do with that)

It is interesting that Jim and Iain's cake has lemon frosting.  Our Zenith cake was frosted with chocolate frosting which provided more contrast between the glass platter and cake.

We have a b2b booked October 2022 & we are getting double points on each cruise.

On Royal Caribbean when you reach 140 points you get a Crystal Block for the ship you are on when you reach the points.  Then another 70 points thereafter.

As I look at that cake, if/when I get there (very soon, I hope), if they're still doing the cake thing, it'll be interesting to see how they handle gluten free.  Maybe the crossbar of the H?

We received our latest block in March 2022. Is listed as a current benefit as of Dec 2022

 They probably did that because they knew about hist fondness of lemon tart's

On MSC, you get a model of your ship in chocolate just for being top tier. Much nicer.

 I have no idea.  It was an assumption on my part.

 I'm betting your assumption is correct. 😉

And maybe the "powers that be" know my fondness for chocolate.  But for photos I think chocolate frosting is a better contrast.
