Thanks, I guess I will give them a go. Hopefully correct about them being decent tickets otherwise it would be the first and last time I ever use them, I like to save money but not at the expense of quality :-).

Has anyone purchased any of the discount show tickets through the Celebrity Captains club benefits? If so was wondering how good/bad seats usually are. Wanted to get tickets for New York Phantom of the Opera but I am cautious as you don't get any options, just that the tickets will be in the orchestra or mezzanine section and you don't find out till you pick them up on the day.

I am leaning towards paying full price where I get to select seats and know I won't get screwed over with whatever seats are leftover that they allocate or am I being overly cautious/pessimistic?

The absolute abysmal quality of the Celebrity Website never ceases to amaze me. I can only imagine it must be an inhouse effort by graduates or something. I just can't understand why they don't either hire some people internally to build a proper system or outsource the damn thing to someone with experience in building sites, I always wonder how many customers they have lost just from their site over the years.

I've not used VPN on a ship, but have always noticed that the documentation for the internet has said that VPN use wasn't allowed. I've also seen on here that different VPN set-up s have different results as far as actual use. My recollection is Celebrity said the bar to VPN use was due to the bandwidth.

The bandwidth argument doesn't really make much sense, VPN bandwidth overhead nowadays is pretty negligible, especially as most websites are effectively VPN's with the prevalent use of TLS/SSL anyway. having said that I have yet to have any issues using my VPN's onboard. Guess I will see if that changes in September, though pretty sure I will find a way around it anyway.

The email only said the upgrade is on sale. Didn't mention full packages. Although it also said certain spa services are on sale but you can't book spa services more than 3 month ahead of time and my cruise is almost 6 months away. Reminds me of the email suggesting we use Choice Air for our cruise in 18 months but you can't book airfare more than 11 months in advance. Sigh

exactly, only the upgrades are on sale, the full package prices are unchanged. took a gamble and purchases the classic package for one of my trips for myself and was then able to purchase the upgrade with the discount. small saving but it all counts :-)

I got an email today about 20% off beverage upgrades. I don't have a beverage package yet but wanted a premium beverage package. Would I be able to purchase the standard beverage package and then upgrade to the premium using the discount? or is this offer only for people that already have purchased a package?
