oldmancurtis Posted June 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2023 wondering how our statis works on celebrity. drinks, laundry, and wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted June 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Diamonds, Diamond+, and Pinnacle all have matching loyalty level equal to Celebrity's Elite (like Diamond on RCI). Higher status has to be earned on Celebrity cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted June 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Rccl diamond perks are way better than celebrity elite in general, they do have a limited happy hour and free bag of laundry. I believe happy hour is 5 to 7 limited drinks and maybe not the first night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to add that Celebrity hands out free champagne on embarkation day (unless that has changed recently) and Elites can order mimosas and bellinis for breakfast...free. We love Celebrity, but the drink vouchers on RCCL are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Celebrity, but the drink vouchers on RCCL are better. We also enjoy cruising with Celebrity as well as RC. We like the differences and similarities between Celebrity and RC. We also like how the CAS handles the drinks for Diamond and above. The CC Elite internet minutes are better than CAS Diamond internet minutes. Champagne (sparkling wine) is no longer handed out when you first enter the ship. Mimosas, bellini's, bloody marys and other select coffees and juices are only served at breakfast in the Tuscan Grill or another designated area (depends on the ship and the number of Elite and above) from 8 to 10:AM. We don't go. Prefer the MDR and we always have the AI with the CBP. So drinks anytime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted June 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I personally ok with Celebrity match. I liked Captains club breakfast in Tuscan Grill with mimosas, bloody Marie’s etc. However Celebrity often has nice packages. In 2021 on Edge for only $200 pp we had a package of Wi-Fi, classic beverages and gratuities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted June 11, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Totally different programs but we enjoy the Elite status on Celebrity. Both programs have their plus and minuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long was the cruise? It was good when it was rolled out. Did 4 nights on the Summit for $700 a person AI in aqua class last year. Next cruises October in December on Apex it doubles the cost of the cruise practically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the AI package for our next two future Celebrity cruises and an equivalent package for our future Princess cruise. Since 2020 everything cost a lot more.

I guess they stopped the free champagne after Covid , I always enjoyed that but since we always have a drink package and access to suite lounge it’s not a big deal, celebrity definitely has better suite perks than rccl.

You pay fir them on other lines also , but other lines don’t give you as much as celebrity, MSc yacht club also has fantastic perks and rccl is pretty good .

Agree it's not a big deal, but we did like the tradition of being handed a glass of champagne when we first boarded the ship. We were on the Apex this past March and saw champagne being handed out at Cafe Al Bacio. We didn't stop. We also have the AI package so we had our customary welcome aboard drink at the martini bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
