Why is it not show on the Celebrity App when you Check in? You make Final Payment & OBC should be there.

Travel agent credits are not part of your Celebrity booking so to speak. They are a gift to you from your TA once you are on board.

If you look at the deck plan, the wider part of the cabin is the bed, or you find a cabin with a black square or triangle and count every second cabin and those will be bed by bath.

...(Celebrity does not offer this on embarkation day or Captains night and it is for 2 hours only on the days it is offered).

The recently announced changes include drinks on embarkation day.

...However, because our accounts are linked together, my total points are the same as his. If he were to sail without me, or vice versa, each of us would receive the points for that sailing since our accounts are linked.  

Actually your points are only what you earned individually by sailing, PUP, etc. What you do get is the benefit of the higher CC tier.

How does one find the elevators with a view of the sea?  Are they the main bank of elevators?  I’ll be on Millie.  Thanks.

All M class midship elevators.

IF the newby lives at the same address, and the CC accounts are linked, the benefits are also given to them.

We just signed up for an Alaska Cruise on the Celebrity Summit. The cabin is 7155 on the Port side of the ship. What is a Prime Veranda? We wanted a midship room, but not Aqua Class or Concierge cabin. Thanks for the information.  

Prime just refers to the location on the ship. It is still a regular veranda cabin in the more desirable location.

Just got emails from both Celebrity and Royal about a new status match program.

 

We are members of both programs.  
 

To me it doesn’t look like they changed anything.

 

Am I missing something?

All tiers are now matched, and SilverSea is now included.

I just looked at the email sent by X and it shows that the time for the sale has expired. 

I received a reminder email this morning letting me know it's the last day to save.

During the current flash sale the 2-device Premium Wi-Fi Package is 40% off. Two questions. (1) can only one person in the cabin order the package or do both people need to order the package? (2) If one person in the cabin can order the 2-device Premium Wi-Fi package, can we connect our two phones to that one plan? Both of us want wi-fi by connecting our phones. 

Only one needs to purchase.  You can connect any two devices at one time.

When you switch to Al you lose the discount associated with the guarantee.

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

 

I am of the opinion that your public space decorations should be left at home. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your "dress up" is another's "tacky".

I haven’t yet travelled on a Solstice class ship.  Do the lack of aft elevators lead to very long walks for those in the back of the ship?

The only time the walk is longer for the aft cabins is going to the Sunset Bar. The trip to Oceanview is just marginally further.

less choice and  def more cruisers for each set of elevs when they eliminated the third set of elevs....esp at peak times!

 

It was a big topic years ago...

But the total number of elevators is still 12 with the midship being 8 cars rather than 4 as in the M class.

Just go to the dining room of your choice at the time of your choice and you will be seated.

My guess would be they meant the Golden Palace.  I personally don't think it's amazing but many people do.  Every year they do a sale on eggrolls and people line up for hours to get them.

I agree. To us they just didn't live up to the hype.

Sounds like a TA fee to me, not Celebrity.

Unless you have a refundable deposit, you will lose the deposit on the cancelled cabin, and then your remaining cabin will be repriced at whatever the current pricing structure is.

Smoking is on the port side.

I am a little confused how you went from the November cruise to the October cruise.  I was told I would loose my entire deposit if I didn't go on the cruise I originally had booked.  Personally, I thought I would just lose $200 by moving to another cruise but my TA said I'd lose the entire deposit?  I had $1000 deposit on a suite and this is what I was told.

 

TA rules may well be different than Celebrity's.

I think it's high time to get rid of the app. Their IT has enough trouble just keeping the website semi useful.

Generally the discounts cannot be stacked.

I’m a non-drinker but my husband will drink alcohol. I’ve tried with Celebrity to be able to have different packages with no luck unless I have a medical reason.  I just can’t justify $2k Canadian for the privilege of not paying per drink. I’d like to bring on bottled water or pop.  Is there any policy preventing us bringing our own water or soda when we board or from the various ports?  I’m aware of the two bottles of wine per person.

I believe that it is back to one bottle of wine per person, max two per cabin.

I do it all the time. Charges to all cards are posted in USD and it is up to your institution to do the conversion if required. Your Canadian USD Visa will be charged in USD just like when you use it on land in the US.

Deluxe Porthole Veranda. Unlike Infinite Verandas, there is an outdoor space, smaller than a traditional balcony, with a large porthole.

Thanks. I know what and where they are, but the acronym escaped me. I sometimes wish people would write things out in full at least the first time in a post for those of us that aren't aware of all the short forms..
