  1. I hope someone can report back this week, since I have conflicting information.
  2. If you're elite on Celebrity you should be Diamond on Royal as long as the accounts are linked.
  3. I thought that once you hit Elite on X or Diamond on Royal, you get the other, but there you stay. To move up you have to sail the actual line.
  4. My niece has a leash trained cat. She was feral originally. Sweetest cat ever. My sister's cats hate her.
  5. Ok, I'm confused. I was also told on the Beyond that the Apex was getting their butlers at the end February.
  6. If you're staying on it will be nice to meet you. We join next week in Singapore and are on through Vancouver. Sky suite on the 2nd two, got a move up accepted to a Royal Suite on the first. If you're in a suite, maybe we can share a meal.
  7. Great - that means S class are on the way - we're on the Solstice next month. Maybe .... I can't edit the post, but it will be there next week, I promise!
  8. I think I'm going to, every Saturday, post a list of where dedicated butlers have been reported. Today: Ascent, Apex, Beyond Edge Did I miss any?
  9. While this sucks, and I do think you deserver more than 100.00 each OBC (either more OBC or some specialty dinners), I think the term deceit may be an overstatement. Remember, sometimes the effects of malice are indistinguishable from those of incompetence. Maybe push the retreat concierges for more OBC or specialty? They have some ability to do stuff.
  10. I'm not disputing what you're saying at all. I was just trying to clarify that they do sell guarantees into specific suite categories, not just W "suite guarantees". Although as you say, there are only 2 Penthouses, so why would, if they were both sold, offer a guarantee? As I said, that's beyond me. Just because it makes no sense whatsoever doesn't mean they wouldn't do it.
  11. I'm so sorry this happened to you, but it is indeed possible to book a guarantee room for a specific suite category. In 2022, we booked a Sky Suite guarantee. I know that's the lowest suite but it wasn't a W it was a sky suite. So i think it possible to book a guarantee in. specific suite category - although why they'd do it for the very limited penthouse is beyond me.
  12. And if you booked out far enough, I imagine you'll lose the tips, and if in suite to a better suite the OBC, so be sure to factor that in.
  13. And people to start posting about how they didn't get the link, even though they got the last (I'll get mine tomorrow - happens every time). Should start soon.
  14. I'm Elite Plus. After I get this point I'll be 1001 away fron Zenith (if I don't get really angry and cancel anything it will happen next year sometime).
  15. I went to the website, and saw the one point in the history, but still not in the total. I did see some odd things in my upcoming cruises - my cruise in two weeks, is showing 12 points a night, which is what, we'd get if we hadn't received the Royal suite as a move up from a sky suite. We also have a Sky Suite in 2026, that's showing 12 points a night. I'm guessing we won't actually get that.
  16. I'd try again at the end of the day or tomorrow if the whopping 1 point hasn't posted. They usually show up for me much later in the day.
  17. On the days I expect points, if they don't show up by the end of the day, I log out and back in. Most of the time, they're there once I do that.
  18. Last seating. And sometimes it's 11:30 - 1:00 and sometimes 12:00-1:30. I've also seen different hours, based on things like short port stops, etc. But usually it's 1.5 hours for lunch, but on embarkation day they sometimes go later.
  19. Assuming availability, probably. That's up to the restaurant manager. We've done it once.
  20. When I was dealing with the South America trip, the price did go down more. When talking to them about something else, I asked about more OBC for that difference. The agent's comment was "well, if the price went up, we won't call you and ask for more money". And good thing, since that cruise was more the exception, since the price for our room is slightly higher with no tips or OBC.
  21. Yes. Lunch is 20.00 per person, and I've heard breakfast is 10.00
  22. I'm on this cruise as well, but not in a balcony (mini suite). For me, if I rebooked today, it would cost several hundred more, and I'd lose tips and a bunch of OBC. YMMV. I think one time, I got some extra OBC after final, and that was a very specific situation. We were in a Sky Suite on a South American/Antarctic itinerary, and the prices kept dropping (my guess was airfare had become ridiculous from North America). The price of a Celebrity Suite went to about 300.00 more than I paid for the Sky. So I paid 300.00 and moved us. The next day, it dropped to what we'd paid for the Sky Suite. I called and they gave us 300.00 refundable OBC. It was, I believe, because of the timing. It was also in 2019, so pre-pandemic. After the pandemic, pricing did become a little more rigid. And in 2022, I was in Maui at the "other side". We were back on the ship by noon, since there's not much there. I was looking forward to Maui, but we just rented a car for the first day in Hilo to go see Volcanos National Park since we'll now have time.
  23. We did that, until, midway through the validity (in 2010), mine got stolen. Now we're exactly offset - his expires in 2025, mine in 2030.
  24. No, but you never know if a great offer comes up, and you can't go. Or processing times will go back up. I guess my personal thinking is that when the passport gets to 6 months, it's a good idea to renew.
