I see lots of chocolate on the MDR menus including lava cake first night in the app. We leave in a few days.

20% off Dining Packages - Black Friday Sale
AMediator replied to themutis's topic in Celebrity Cruises
It has changed 4 times in the two months I have been monitoring. 20% is the most I have seen so far. Have you ever seen a bigger discount on dining packages? Better on the actual black Friday? I just don't want to buy it and cancel it again. I find this moving target practice to be pretty messed up. I've never had to monitor and track pricing on these things with other Cruise lines. It is a real frustration with this line. -
When will Black Friday Specials be posted?
AMediator replied to LizikinsLivesToCruise's topic in Celebrity Cruises
What is the best discount we can expect to see on Dining Packages? I have yet to see a discount more than 7%-8% - I wonder if it is worth waiting to see the Black Friday sale? -
Move Up bid has said "pending" for almost a week for Dec. 1 cruise
AMediator replied to KKB's topic in Celebrity Cruises
This happened to me a week before I got the upgrade. It was locked and could not be modified and showed pending until I got charged and then eventually and email. When it was locked, it also showed that upgrades were no longer available for the sailing (which is in 3 weeks). But I understand many others are still pending. -

Hi this happened to me and eventually I got upgrade! Sounds good! -
We are on a 6 day cruise on the Eclipse. We have a concierge veranda and a great location. We really want an aft so we bid on the Sunset Veranda ($150 each). The SS is up for $550 a person on the lowest bid. We leave in a month and all of the SS are still available. Asking for a friend, is it worth the bid? We are very interested in the specialty restaurants but would give that package up to move to the suite. We already have our drink package etc so we're fine there. I also am curious the difference between the corner SS and the middle SS on the top deck? We would prefer the corner but maybe the middle SS is better? Background - many years cruising this is my first Celebrity and first time bidding on MoveUp.

Specialty restaurant package- how to book restaurants and times
AMediator replied to IDL's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I booked a package but realized I could not make a reservation. When I tried to just pay and reserve each restaurant on its own - I had only a couple of choices for two of the 6 nights. We are still 5 weeks out and it's even worse. -
Specialty restaurant package- how to book restaurants and times
AMediator replied to IDL's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We did not book our cruise on the eclipse until about 3 to 4 months prior. We for sure wanted a dinner package (because we would like to try all of them). Once I realized I could not make a reservation with the package we went ahead and tried to book individuall and each restaurant was already mostly booked each night and the nights that had a choice is was 9:00 p.m. or 9:30 pm. Too late for me since this is the same time zone for me. So we unfortunately feel like we have no choice but to just go ahead and purchase on board if we are able to secure on premise reservations if we can even get one at a decent hour. I'm not going to prepay for something when I have no guarantee of getting it I don't care how much it saves me. This model is just a really bad model IMO. And to be honest with you, this is my first time on Celebrity having cruised many other cruise lines and it is pretty much a disappointment that it looks like we won't be able to try any of the specialty restaurants unless we feel like eating a super late night dinner.
