SHIP TRAVELER Posted August 6, 2022 #151 Share Posted August 6, 2022 3 hours ago, Fly and Sail said: I doubt it. Haven't seen such high table limits on Celebrity before, quite the opposite. I wish X had a $5 craps table like Princess. They should know that no one plays just $5 and the trick is to get people in the game and then they will start throwing $$$ on the table. The craps tables on Princess usually had a good crowd which makes it more fun than one or two people on the rail. That said Celebrity will always be my favorite, I really LOVE the non-smoking casino. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted August 6, 2022 #152 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Celebrity was sure smart to offer this deal! It’s getting me, who wasn’t impressed with our Celebrity cruise, to try it again, it’s gaining a new sailor in my friend who is normally loyal to a different cruise line, and the savings on the cruise will simulate onboard spending. It’s a win win! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcssmom Posted August 9, 2022 #162 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I received a post card type mailing on Saturday. I scanned the QR code and it gave me several options to choose from. I was able to select three. I had a confirmation by Monday morning. I am level Pearl in the Blue Chip Club, an Elite level cruiser and the last time I cruised was in November of 2021. I don't know why I was selected but I will gladly accept. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen They always seem to do these for the undersold sailings usually sailings less than six months. So strange that they sometimes do a marketing blitz that's snail mailed WITH a QR code that isn't duplicated by email. When you use the form online you only "request" the sailing and have no choice with cabin type although you can always call later and have them change it For those who received the mailer, here are the available sailings...Just note I used the iphone's text copy feature: Celebrity Apex (Ft.

Ditto, my "Mex Riv" offer expired Aug 1st, had no idea a week later these would be available AND I almost threw this mailer out wrongly assuming it was just Celebrity marketing and not from the casino dept. IMO, if they're going to snail mail they should email you in advance to get you a heads up. I'd imagine up to 50% of these mailers get thrown out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted August 10, 2022 #167 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was trying to use an email that I received that had my father-in-law‘s name and put in our information. I just deleted and re-put our information in. And they didn’t except it I called and they said that we could not use his link. I then opened a blue chip account for both my husband and I because we do gamble but we usually use cash? Last week I read applied what the same original email and said that we were blue chip members and just received a free cruise for March 2023 ! Very happy !!

I’m assuming they’ll just give you onboard credit but I was thinking about calling to take care of it over the phone and curious about the other options were to upgrade the room?

I was curious about trying to upgrade my room from a veranda to concierge or aqua if possible. They did put us in an A1 cabin 8197 one of the slant larger balconies..

Not sure I want to share. 😁. In general, we like the mid-ship angled balconies on Deck 10. This time we got 1231, but they all offer oversized balconies, excellent overhang for weather protection, convenient to the pool and Oceanview Cafe. Also, next to some suites, so we’ve had some excellent cabin stewards. I have not heard of anyone else being asked for a $500 deposit. We initially paid $284, then the upgrade cost today. Sounds like you need to ask some more questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
