1Virgo Posted August 14, 2023 #26 Share Posted August 14, 2023 interesting. We are Elite were on Summit April/May. Had coffee at El Bacio and no charge. Celebrity needs to have consistency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free lattes are an Elite+ benefit and have always been available from the moment you board until and including disembarkation morning.

mrgabriel Posted August 14, 2023 #29 Share Posted August 14, 2023 We're E+ but didn't have coffee on embarkation day on Silhouette in May. However - we did hang around in CeB until 9:30 on disembarkation day and were charged for our coffees. I was surprised but guessing the perk isn't available on embarkation and disembarkation day?

39august Posted August 14, 2023 #32 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It should be good from embarkation to disembarkation. If it were I, I'd speak with the hotel director. This is not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverlaysup Posted August 14, 2023 #34 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) So, Elite+ coffee is not valid on embarkation and debarkation day? Curious where is says that. Edited August 14, 2023 by neverlaysup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provence55always Posted August 15, 2023 #36 Share Posted August 15, 2023 We are Elite and friends Elite+, they were charged for coffee in June on embarkation day. They politely send the coffee back🤷♀️. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazed. Our routine on boarding is to go straight to Al Bacio for our first free latte and tea. On disembarkation day we choose to wait in Al Bacio and again enjoy the free lattes. If this is really a change and not a "blip" I am staggered that it has not set the boards alight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblin Posted August 15, 2023 #38 Share Posted August 15, 2023 On Summit in May I received my elite + free latte on embarkation day at Cafe el Bachio. On Reflection last year I was required to pay for the latte on embarkation day. I'll see what happens on Silhouette in Nov. Not a huge deal in any case.

TeeRick Posted August 15, 2023 #39 Share Posted August 15, 2023 If this is true, why? Removing free coffee for a few E+ on just one day maybe starting at 11:30 AM boarding does not save any money of any significance. Truly a nickel and dime move to cause resentment among the higher tier cruisers. But apparently on the same day al Bacio offers free champagne? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is the CaptIns Club list of perks says, and always has, no cocktail hour benefit on embarkation day. The Elite + free latte’s, cappuccino, tea and espresso have no time exclusion listed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
