    I just went through this for my late Sept cruise. I am fully paid AI and tips. I have called and did it over the phone with someone from Celebrity because I wanted a new invoice that showed the OBC. I won't book anything pre cruise as we have the classic package and I thought instead of upgrading to the premium package I would use it for any drinks we may want above the classic price. We are playing it by ear. We are not booking excursions and may just use it at a specialty restaurant or in the casino.

     

    Is this a refundable OBC? 


    Yes,  when I have redeemed mine in the past it is refundable OBC.

  2. As a Celebrity/RCI cruiser I can explain the changes to the loyalty program announced yesterday.  The RCI group added Silversea brand to the status match program.  Previously the luxury line in the brand was Azamara, but that partnership ended a couple of years ago.  As to the matching tiers, the change now allows matching across all levels.  Previously the status match ended at the Elite/Diamond level.  There are 2 levels above that (Elite Plus, Zenith on Celebrity and Diamond Plus, Pinnacle on RCI) that previously had to be reached independently on each line.

     

    What I like about the status match is having started on RCCL it made it easier to “graduate” to Celebrity.

  3. Yes, she can create her own login. She would then add the booking to her profile using the booking number and able be to handle her own check in. One thing you can do for her though, is select her check in time for the pier. This will allow her to have the same time slot as you. 

  4. If you have a package, you just pay the difference between the package limit and the drink price, with gratuity.  So if the difference is $2.00, you will be charged $2.40 (20% gratuity).  Celebrity does not issue cups.  The soft drinks are served in cans when ordered.

    The Emerald even offers upgraded pizzas poolside. With truffel, porcini,  etc. Upcharge of course. Reason might be, they have no Alfredos downstairs.

    If these are upcharge items since there is no Alfredo’s, are they covered by the Premium Package casual dining inclusion?

    Would anyone know if the WCB is on Beyond. I had read they were going to add it since it is so popular. I do like the odd drink even though I don't have a package.

     

    We did the Spring Transatlantic on the Beyond.  Yes, the World Class Bar is there.  It is tucked in above the Martini Bar on the deck above.

  7. Welcome to Celebrity.  I hope you find it to be a good fit.  I presume you have already verified that your reciprocal status is recorded.  

     

    The wine limit can be confusing.  It was 2 bottles per stateroom, then became 2 bottles per person, and the current policy is 1 bottle per person.  I do not think it is required to be in carry-on, however I find that is easier and does not risk a trip to the “naughty” room.  

     

    As to the 2 drinks per day, that is incorrect.  Elite members have free drinks from a limited menu from 5-7 daily, except embarkation day.  They recently reinstituted a happy hour lounge for a few nights on some sailings, I believe, but the drinks are never counted against a maximum.
