On the UK site our cruise on 7th September 2025 from Boston doesn't come up in the search...not sure if to be worried or not

We sailed from san Diego just 2 or 3 years ago on millenium up the west coast

Here's a new question that's probably not new.

 

I just got my points for the cruise ending last Wednesday.  The good news - I had a double point offer, and the points were doubled.  What I didn't get was my "go green" night of points.

 

Should I contact someone?  Should I have confirmed on the ship?

DH and I have different last names, and sometimes he's first on the booking and sometimes I am.  Could that be why?

 

Will it matter down the road?  I have no idea.

 

Thanks!

We had to email in after the cruise to get ours added on both occasions we did go green 

Yay ! Got mine...im now elite !! Woo hoo

I already upgraded to Premium on Eclipse December 2023.  Is that why I don’t see the reduced upgrade price?  I don’t want to cancel and find the price has gone up not down.

Have you tried looking in the app to see if it gives you a price. I had your issue in that it wasnt showing me upgrade online but could see from the app it was 6.96 which is why I cancelled and rebooked

Oh gosh..I would have been prepared to pay the original 18.00 pp pd to upgrade but hubby said not a chance ! Last night it went down to 14.07 so i booked it with our OBC and just told him I'd done it ! Just checked again now and it's gone down to 6.96 pppd so cancelled last night's and rebooked! I'm well chuffed. Thanks to all on the board for the heads up

She seems to be addressing all the stuff thats been moaned about by us ...whether she's genuine or not i haven't quite worked out yet 😊

Yes you can change when on board. We've done it this week onboard Sky Princess....originally booked 8.30 each night  but this didn't fit in once we got on board and was able to change it within the app...subject to other times being available obviously 

I may be wrong - but i didnt think you could hotspot from a wifi connection - i seem to think it has to be a 4/5g connection that you can hotspot from - just generally. otherwise im pretty certain no one would ever purchase more than 1 wifi package per cabin - i might be wrong though 🙂

thanks for all the responses - i'll just float from bar to bar checking out the offerings  🙂

If you’ve enjoyed The Martini Bar on a Celebrity ship you will be very disappointed with what you’ll find on a Princess ship.  You can certainly find a martini, but you will not find the experience. 

Not too fussed with the experience on celebrity...just like the drinks 😊

Hi...trying to plan my embarkation day a week on Saturday and was wondering if Sky Princess has a dedicated martini bar (like celebrity do) or if not...wheres the best place to go to get a wide choice of martinis? 

Thank you in advance 😊

Coco cay power up email arrived...10 power up points so 1 captains club 💪 

no martinis included in classic package when we were on board in May - cheapest ones were around 14 or 15 dollars - plus tax + gratuities - we just paid the upcharge for the couple we had

I'm surprised that this tactic celebrity have engaged in on the UK site hasn't been classed as illegal. I'm sure we have a law over here that states you cannot advertise something as being a "sale price" unless the item has been advertised at the pre sale price for a certain amount of time and I'm pretty certain the pre sale $149 price was never advertised at all!!

Was that for a balcony- it seems the overbookings were for balcony cabins.

yes - there were still a good few balconys left on deck 6 and a couple on 7 and 8

just done a mock booking for ours departing 27th May 2024 and still plenty of cabins to choose from so hoping all is well with that one.

I'm in the UK and my cruise planner shows the upgrade to Premium from Classic (5% discount), but then if I scroll down to the bottom of the screen it gives 10% discount option and an Elite 15% option

Aaah...thank you...yes mine does too 😊

Strange that I don't get the option of choosing the captains club discounted upgrade...but as the other poster.   it won't allow me to select just one person to upgrade.  Need to do both ...over 400 pounds for our May cruise. Will definately be cheaper to pay the difference per drink I reckon

We  booked FBC for Manchester to Barcelona on 6th May in January  - we are now 40 days away and still do not know flight times or airline so cannot book parking as we do not know which terminal we are going from. Has anyone else in the UK encountered this issue. I ring weekly but just get the same story- flights will be allocated as soon as possible 

How did you book the flights with celebrity without knowing the flight details? When we wanted to add flights to our booking we were able to see the available flights and choose which one we wanted to use? Have you just asked celebrity to sort flights rather than choosing the one you wanted and then asking them to book those? 

On our cruise last year we had anytime dining but had reserved tables for each night prior to sailing...not sure if it was on Eclipse or millenium but there was only 1 queue at the mdr . We ended up joining the queue and just waiting till we got to the front to tell them we had a reservation. ...but that might be because we're British and that's how we roll 😎 I'm sure some people would just walk to the front.

Hi there

 

For our upcoming cruise, after booking a standard Veranda cabin, we decided to pay a few thousand extra and 'upgrade' to one of those large 'Family Ocean View with Balcony' cabins (apparently there are four per ship). 

 

After doing that we noticed that the Xpress Passes on our app and our luggage tags say 'Suite Class' on them. We didn't think that our new room is classed as a suite. Does anyone know if we do in fact have suite benefits / has this happened to anyone else? Would be fabulous if so!

 

Thanks 🙂

Hi

same thing happened to us on board eclipse - our cards said suite class even though we were in a FV - didnt entitle us to anything when onboard - although i did flash it at the boarding gate when they were saying suite class could board and he looked and told me to go ahead 🙂

Ahhh...ok...sounds feasible...thanks both 

Just checking out the MDR menu for our upcoming cruise in May on Connie...and for day 13 there is no menu just a large printed "VENUE CLOSED" anyone seen tthis before?

How is the new internet aboard? I hear mixed reviews; some amazing, some very poor.

The  basic Internet included for us last week was fine for browsing.. checking emails...WhatsApp messaging. Couldn't send or receive WhatsApp photos...or Snapchat photos to/from my girls...but was able to send and receive photos by facebook messenger and i-message. I certainly wouldnt bother paying for faster internet personally.
