On celebrity, you pay the difference. so if something is $35, you pay the $18 difference 17+18=35

 

I am very disappointed with Celebrity and their change in selection of wines for the Premium package. We only drink wine and upgrade to the Premium so that we can have quality wine with our meals and afterwards. It seems to get a glass of Decoy which is now $19 we will need to pay the extra $2 and tax even though we have the Premium package. While others might think that we should just select another wine, there are very few good red wines on their list. We will be Elite Plus on next cruise and have been very faithful to Celebrity over the years. Surely management can take a look at this issue as we are not the only ones concerned with this change. Stop nickel and dimeing!

Your best bet will be to used the MoveUp process.   While onboard upgrades during the restart at reduced capacities were not uncommon they were prior to Covid.  Now that they are sailing close to capacity and with the current belt tightening by Celebrity they are doing everything to maintain pricing which would include not giving upgrades away.

 

When you use the Move Up program do you receive the new Captain club points for the new cabin? ( move from veranda to concierge is a difference between 3 and 5 points per night)

We’re you charged for the test?

Thanks everyone for all the positive posts. We disembarked Allure this morning (Saturday Jan 8) here is how the terminal testing went. RCCL was using a company called Med Lab today. Going forward they will no longer do onboard tests. On Day 5 we received a letter giving us the details on how to book our PCR tests. We used the Royal app, didn’t need internet , it was a simple process to do. We chose the earliest time slot , which was 7:15-7:30. The app gave us a confirmation number and they also sent us a confirmation email. They advised us  to walk off the ship and bring our luggage with us. Off the ship at 7:00. The testing area was inside the terminal, after customs. By 7:20 we were registered and by 7:45 we were both done the test. We sat outside by the bus area, and after  30 minutes the results came in. Uploaded them to Arrive Can , and grabbed a taxi. At the Fort Lauderdale airport by 8:35. Very efficient service but get the earliest appointments available. When we left the testing lineup had over 50 people in it, and lots more coming. They  sent us a very  official looking results document. Much easier than expected  and nothing to be fearful about in the way it is being done now. Next trip we will be taking as a backup RT-Lamp kits from Switch Health as well as the Rapid antigen Switch Health tests. Please ask me anything about the testing that I haven’t explained.

Thanks for sharing this information. Just wondering with the LAMP PCR test if we need to order 2 or will 1 kit test 2 persons. Thanks

We decided to go ahead and travel to our Allure Cruise leaving Dec 30th. Got the Switch Health tests at Halifax Airport and had the results before we got back to the parking spot. Test #1 a go. Flew to Ft Lauderdale on Dec 27th and had 3 seperate Antigen tests booked (2  backups) for Dec 28.  That gave us 2 days to get our tests done. First test was with Beepermd at the hotel, they didn’t show or reply to texts, phone calls or emails. So on to test #2 booked at Walgreens. We had received an email confirming our tests and that we had to call the location and tell them we were a walk-in as we didn’t rent a car. Walgreens said no, they were not allowing walk-ins any  more. On to Test#3 our Switch proctored tests purchased through Aeroplan. We had a winner, so easy to do and the agent stayed and chatted while waiting for the results. She did both of us together, and stayed with us until she Declared us negative. Will be doing this for sure again, but it is essential to have backups. Wore N95 masks.
