gerelmx Posted February 22, 2023 #27 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) The time to get a refund is too long, could it be improved?. It's been 86 days since I canceled a cruise and I'm still waiting for my refund Edited February 22, 2023 by gerelmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volk904 Posted February 23, 2023 #28 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Questions for Jason Will Celebrity ever offer Coco Cay as a stop? Why not raise the fares a little instead of doing cuts in the dinning experience? Why does Celebrity no longer offer just a basic soda package? the zero package is way to expensive for cruisers or kids that just want soda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted February 23, 2023 #30 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I think a blanket question could be why we’re there so many passenger experience cuts and new fees but there weren’t any improvements? One example…When RCI introduced the additional lobster tail fee they changed the lobster from spiny to more desirable Maine but X did not despite charging the exact same fee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFL Cruisers Posted February 23, 2023 #31 Share Posted February 23, 2023 My question is, would you consider adding another level between the top tiers? I.E. Elite Plus / Zenith and Diamond Plus / Pinnacle, there is such a vast gap between the last two levels you lose interest in gaining points because it is too big of a gap. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orator Posted February 27, 2023 #35 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I was a formerly loyal passenger with over 100 Celebrity cruises. I see many formerly loyal Celebrity passengers on other lines, especially Oceania and Viking. What are your plans to bring us back to Celebrity?

They said something along the lines of they were disappointed by how many didn't not transition from Celebrity to SilverSeas...So I believe RCG is more interested in making SilverSeas more attractive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingoMom Posted March 7, 2023 #37 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Why is the Celebrity website often down or not working? Same with the app. Why were passengers that had paid in full (or were past final payment) shortchanged when Celebrity announced — with no notice — that Room Service was no longer complimentary; the OV for dinner was cut by 75%; and the additional fee for one tiny lobster? Some OBC for ANY cruised booked prior to Jan. 1, 2023 would help avoid the ‘bait and switch’ feeling that many of us have. We booked and paid for one experience, and it appears that you are more interested in jerking around your loyal customers than you are in providing a quality product. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted March 8, 2023 #38 Share Posted March 8, 2023 1 hour ago, Tikigal1 said: 1)Can you please start opening up more opportunities for singles to cruise on Celebrity. Many seniors have lost their spouses and now are still in love with Celebrity, but feel paying 200% for a room is unreasonable, especially since the cruise fares have skyrocketed. 2)Another concern was in Captains Club, as X offered double points for customers booking Europe by March 31st, 2023, and sailing by December 2023. (Example, SINGLE customer books Concierge (5 pts/n, and receives 10 pts/p/n). As a single you are paying double occupancy prices to begin with and start out with 10 pts. for the cabin you paid double for. That makes sense, but for the special, are discriminated against, and only offered 15 points instead of 20. Can you explain why you discriminate in the point system against Singles? It is so disheartening. A normal couple gets 10 points for the room, but during the special receives 20 points for the room, for the same price a single is paying, minus taxes, fees, and gratuities. Totally agree that more attention should be paid to solo travelers. There are also many people whose spouse/partner can’t or won’t cruise as much as well as those who choose to be single. A 100 sf solo cabin for $1000 is totally unappealing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCAubs Posted March 29, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Hello from Seatrade 2023 in Ft. Lauderdale! The State of the Industry was held yesterday. Due to time constraints, we were limited to just one question per CEO, but it was amazing to have the opportunity to include the cruisers' voice in the conversation for the first time ever. Here's a link to our recap of the event and CEO answers: https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/7330/ Including a photo, too 🙂 We received A TON of questions across all of the cruise line forums (and lots of fantastic feedback) for the lines, and are going to be following up by sending all of it their way as well. We'll also use it on the Cruise Critic side for future story ideas, too. A huge thank you to all of you for sharing your thoughts, questions and experiences -- this community is incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobsgonecoastal Posted April 7, 2023 #45 Share Posted April 7, 2023 On 2/15/2023 at 4:25 PM, randomcruise said: Questions for Jason Liberty: Do you understand that some passengers see the recent Celebrity cutbacks as significantly downgrading the experience that Celebrity promoted and that the passengers paid for in full months ago as essentially a bait-and-switch scam that exposes a lack of integrity in the executive level decision making at Celebrity/RC Group? Do you understand that in the future many of those same passengers are going to be very reluctant to trust that Celebrity will actually provide the experience that Celebrity promotes and demands full payment for months before their cruise date? After our January X cruise experience, instead of having our typical 5 or 6 cruises booked, we have canceled all but one. The bloom is definitely off the rose (the X rose at least). It’s just not very special anymore, just a mass market experience, and we can get that anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
