Nope, didn't get that email from Celebrity but received hundred others 🙄 I booked 2 cruises while onboard Solstice in April & used my card. I just checked my statement and I received 4X points only on those deposits so I didn't really notice that. Would have been great if it had applied to all payments...not just new cruise deposits!

I was not offered the 4X points and made big payments to Celebrity in April. I received the usual 2X points not 4X so guessing one had to opt in through the email offer???

Do you know who's the Captain's Club concierge?

Just giving a heads up that if you want the particular brand of liquors that are on the Elite menu, be sure to ask for them. If you don't specify Absolut martini, they will use the 'house' brand. It has been Taaka or Barton's on most of my recent cruises.

My guess is prices will remain higher and they will bring Celebrity 'in line' with the SilverSea product.

Prior to the cruising suspension due to covid, we could consistently find sky suites for $300/$325 per night each on a Solstice class ship and $250/$275 per night each on a Millenium class ship for Caribbean itineraries. These per night prices are nowhere to be found now. I am very curious to see how they compare for 2024/2025 when released on Dec. 12th.

Celebrity should not have sent the email in the first place. It was addressing the OP's specific cruise (according to the OP's post) yet the event was already sold out already???

Perhaps the OP's email did not state, in the fine print or otherwise, that the discount did not apply to existing reservations and that it applied to new reservations only. I too, and perhaps others, would have expected the discount. If the OP overlooked the 'fine print' then, yes, a simple "Thank you. I understand." would be the appropriate answer.

Wow, they sure seemed to imply you were doing something you should not be allowed to. It is upsetting that many times the 'left hand does not know what the right hand is doing' when it comes to offers, etc. that are sent to guests. Sadly, customer service seems to be lacking in a lot of businesses nowadays.

We, too, were able to order any MDR item when dining in Blu and did for several years on the Equinox. We were told last month this was no longer allowed. 😞

We've never tried this but will ask next week. There are a few items we really enjoy from Blu. Thanks for the info!

Captain is Dimitrios Manetas and the cruise director is Pete.

We are currently onboard Equinox and dining in Blu. They no longer allow ordering from the main dining room, except for the 'everyday' items (salmon, chicken breast and ny strip).

Hopefully, I am remembering correctly. We were in 1618 from 6/26 to 7/10 and for sure there was a table and 2 chairs at one end. There were 2 loungers, side by side, at the other end.

Pre-pandemic it was Barton's vodka and gin. Don't know what it was for whiskey, bourbon, etc.

I agree that the 9/6 JOB poker is what was considered 'full pay'. Seems the 10/7 (as shown in OP's first post) would be much better than 6/5.

It shows up on mine on the website. Under 'Manage Reservation', select 'View all cruise planner packages' (found on the right side of the page next to cruise planner packages topic). Hover over your initials on the top right of the page that subsequently displays and click on 'order history' in the drop down box that appears. You should then see the packages (drinks and wifi listed separately) with $0.00 charge. But I have not found the prepaid gratuities listed anywhere.
