FWIW, I’m new to BCC, but I’ve begun seeing some offers from them on their BCC Offers site that do indeed include several 10-night itineraries.

I just completed my first Celebrity cruise earlier this month and qualified for some discounted and free cruise offers. No postcards or emails received thus far, but I have received 3 offers through the BlueChipClubOffers.com site. Anyone know if it’s typical that the site provides more offers than email/postcard, or should I get a corresponding email for each offer I see on the site?

I have one word for you: Don’t ask.

Here’s a screenshot I took of the current hosts as listed on the portal.

Currently onboard the Celebrity Eclipse and Nicola is the casino host. From our limited interactions, she seems nice and quite knowledgeable about the BCC program and offers.

My wife and I are not fans of hitting the buffet on embarkation day. We mainly cruise NCL where they have a main dining room open for embarkation lunch. However, I understand RCI doesn’t do this. Does anyone know what the non-specialty dining options are for embarkation day lunch on the Navigator? Thx!

I stumbled upon another post in the Forums that said the casitas are now by reservation only.

I found recent Cruise Compasses for the Navigator on Royal Caribbean Blog. (I forget: Am I allowed to mention other sites on Cruise Critic?)

That’s a useful hack. I tried it out and was able to interact with the schedule of a current cruise. It was helpful to see how the schedule works on the app and makes me feel a bit more confident of how to use the system once aboard. Thx!

Sorry, I worded my comment poorly. I meant to say that I was able to screenshot an entire day of the schedule on my phone so that I could zoom in and out on the schedule without needing to be in the app. My last RCI cruse was pre-smartphone era, so I’m excited to see how the daily schedule works using the app. While I am accustomed to a paper copy of the schedule, it has its own drawbacks and includes far more information than I really need. Plus, after I take the time to mark up the events I’m interested in, I inevitably lose the paper schedule and have to start over. I’m going to do a little hunting to see if I can find a demo of how the daily schedule works on the app.

Would be cool if they could be printed out onboard on demand for those who want them. Then no unused extras go unused. On my last NCL cruise, I was able to take screenshots of the daily schedule from the app. Can something similar be done from RCI’s app, or not so much?
