We exercise almost every day. Living in Mi we take advantage of the weather and bike at least 20 miles per day. In the colder months we do Beach Body. P90X, Insanity, Max 30., Focus, and etc. We are in our late 70โs. When on a cruise we enjoy it. Donโt see the need to exercise. Our bodies need a rest. If you look at any exercise program your body need a rest period. They need to give their body a rest so just enjoy the cruise. If they do feel the need do as we do, use the stairs and do a lot of walking in the ports. It doesnโt really do much but it is better than nothing. We did try some of their free exercise classes and found them not to be very intense. In reality they donโt want them to be so intense as to cause a heart attack. There are classes that they can sign up for in the gym for fee. Not worth the cost. We get free classes because of our CC status. Donโt use it. Just enjoy the cruise and forget about it. RELAX. ENJOY Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Shareholder services transfered booking to travel agent
miched replied to AbbyCruiser45's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I donโt know all of the facts but it appears as if it was a complimentary cruise thru the casino. If that is the case I donโt think there is a benefit. Read all of the questions in the link I provided. Also as others have posted apply for it 4 to 6 weeks before the cruise. Also in the link Here is the link for FAQ. In one of the questions it has the link for the form to apply. You donโt need to do it thru a TA. You do it yourself https://www.rclinvestor.com/contact-us/faqs/shareholder-benefit/ Hope this helps.

I donโt understand the fascination of the hot glass on board the ship. If you want to do that just google hot glass academy or workshop. I am sure you will find many places near your residence that offers it. I know it is a memory of your cruise. OK. Just a suggestion if it is really something you are interested in. Below is a map where I live in MI that has glass blowing opportunities. Support your local busineeses. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

I am looking for a reasonable rate for parking for a cruise out of Boston. I have read that there is a 20% discount if on a cruise. I canโt find that. I have tried others and as post 33 wrote that parking at lot C doesnโt pop up The only price I come up with is $330 for a 11 day cruise. Thanks for any help/suggestions. Happy cruising. ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Infinity AquaClass Sky suite upgrade worth it?
miched replied to Number34's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We were on the Constellation in Mar and we were able to order from any menu. Every night our server would bring us all 3 menus and we never asked for them. Is it the Maitreโd or the server. Call me a liar?? I am giving my experience. I donโt make up stuff just to make it up. Whenever we were on a M class in Luminae we could always order from the other menus. They also use to have the menus in Michaels Club. Why would they do that if you couldnโt order off of them? I donโt know if they still do because of the app. Your comment could apply to anything. I could say we were able to get a certain liquor on the premium drink pack. Is it across the board? The other ships may not carry it. Am I wrong for saying that? I could say that our butler provided us with โฆ. Is it across the board? Donโt know. Can just report on my experience. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Using OBC on slots without incurring 5% transaction fee
miched replied to mhlcanada's topic in Celebrity Cruises
In March we played our OBC in the slots and werenโt charged any fees. You do have to run thru 50% of what the amount you used to play. Eg If you put in $100 you have to play at least $50 before cashing out, such as playing $5/ play you would need to play 10 times. If you cash out before that you will get the cash but the next time you try to play anymore OBC you will find that your account is locked. Things may have changed as it use to be 10% but I think too many people were doing that. It also use to be that you could just cash in at the cashier without playing for a 5% fee. We have also found that different ships have different policies. Last year we did a side by side cruise on a M class and S class. The casinos had different rules OBC rules, and also different pay schedules on the VP machines. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Infinity AquaClass Sky suite upgrade worth it?
miched replied to Number34's topic in Celebrity Cruises
The cabins that are on the angle have larger balconies. The cabins are also about 3 to 4 ft deeper. I know this as we were in one for a B2B cruise and had to change to another SS that wasnโt on the angle. We could immediately see the difference. The Persian Gardens on the M class arenโt the same as o. The E and S class. There is no heated loungers. It has a heated bench inside a room with no windows. Like being in dungeon. Being able to dine in Blu is no big deal because in Luminae on the M class you can order from any menu. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
First time on Celebrity (Reflection), tips for our first time?
miched replied to kaz828's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Donโt miss the ship. Dont be an idiot and get sunburned the first day or any day. Even in the shade you can get burned from the reflection of the rays Donโt drink too much on the first day. It will still be there tomorrow. Donโt enter the raffles unless you want to be flooded everyday with useless sales papers and phone messages. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
We have gone to the CC lunch because of doing a B2B. We were also able to do the Luminae lunch when in a suite. Neither one is anything to get excited about. It is a lunch. Think about it What do you normally have for lunch? This is a time to try something different that may not appeal to you. You may find a new favorite. It is basically something to hold you over until dinner and if it isnโt enough there is always something available later in the the day in the buffet It is basically a time to be able to relax after the tiring and maybe stressful morning by being served instead of the self serve hog trough.

We do the same. Most times the wines listed arenโt available. I think they are there just to fill the menu. The sommelier also seems to like having the freedom of being able to recommend something. One of the reasons we enjoy a cruise is to be able to try different entrees, and drinks that we normally wouldnโt have. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

I was on the Seashore in Feb. The bourbon selection was very poor. If I recall Buffalo Trace was the only bourbon. They kept telling me that I the liquor supply hasnโt been distributed from the hold. It was only a 3 day cruise. A person that was on the previous cruise doing a B2B told me that they gave the same excuse on the last cruise. I am a bourbon drinker. Was very disappointed in the selection. We were in the YC. I am not a bourbon snob. I drink mostly bottom end like MM, Wild Turkey, Rebel (Yell). Four Roses, and yes J.T.S. Brown Fast Eddie โPreach. J.T.S. Brown, no glass, no iceโ. The Hustler. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐

Iโm Elite Plus but itโs my daughters first cruise
miched replied to british betty's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If you are on a E class ship it isnโt a benefit. M class. Why bother. When on board it doesnโt hurt to try. It depends on who is at the desk. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
Iโm Elite Plus but itโs my daughters first cruise
miched replied to british betty's topic in Celebrity Cruises
When held in the Sky Lounge it was considered an event. Lately they have been having some Elite HH in the Sky Lounge and the other person should/may be able to attend. Happy cruising ๐๐ข๐บ๐ธ๐ -
I have had it apply to side by side cruises with Celebrity. It was a different ship, and port. At the time I was told that the cruises had to be within 3 days of each other. Mine was 1 day apart. Things keep changing and I donโt know if is still possible. Never hurts to ask. Also If you donโt like the answer the first time get a different agent or ask for someone higher up.
