Reflection 4/13/24 and 4/21/24 B2B Live Review
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to Kteacher's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I've been in that suite before with no problems, but not doing suites any more. The prices are insane! 3X what I was paying previously. Not happening. -

Not doing that one, I have a holiday cruise booked. Catch us on the November 10, 2025 Summit. -

I'll be joining you tomorrow for my own B2B. Doing that cruise and the following one. -
Captain’s Club Power Up Points
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to cruisestitch's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I gave up a long time ago. I used to get the PUP e-mails and then one day they mysteriously stopped. The marketing stuff continues to flow, however. My best advise is to follow this thread. There is always some kind soul who announces that a new PUP opportunity has arrived. -
We're there on April 22 on the Reflection. Along with a giant RCI ship.

Yes, I use it all the time.

The problem on many cruises is limited or virtually no participation on roll calls.

Loved the SJ Bennett books. I thought Thursday Murder Club was pretty boring. -
Regardless of the dining room, the sommeliers are not part of the waitstaff tip pool. They should be tipped separately.

My Pro Max 11 is still humming along. I think my daughter has bought 2 new iPhones since I got this one. She likes the smaller one and her batteries keep dying on her. Mine will hold a charge for two or three days if I don't use it a lot. The only thing I would like about the newest version is the upgraded camera, but I'll wait until this one dies because it was very expensive.

That's hysterical. Perhaps they have realized the error of their ways. Or, the new designer could be worse? Hard to imagine, but I suppose it's possible. What a laugh that it's a selling point that it wasn't designed by Kelly Hoppen. I'll reserve judgment until I see the actual new designs. -

I've decided Ms. Hoppen is the queen of uncomfortable chairs. Her tables aren't much better. And yes, I'll bet she laughed all the way to the bank after she sold all this junk to Celebrity. -
Luminae is different. Tips are pooled there. Except for the sommelier, who should be tipped separately. Sommeliers are part of the bar group, not the restaurant group.

I think the compensation varies based on the amount one paid for the cabin. Those who purchase suites pay a lot more than those who purchase insides. I was on a cruise once and Freeport was devastated by a hurricane. The captain decided to skip Nassau and go to Freeport to share water and food with them. We were reimbursed for one day's cost of our cabin. I was happy to be paid good money not to go to Nassau since I never get off there! -

I think we Grumpy Old Gits prefer the more sedate atmosphere. Where did you get your GOG t-shirt? -

How do you save just one frame from Live? I've never been able to figure that out. -

Mercury was my first Celebrity ship. She's long gone, although we've seen her in her new livery in several ports. -

I'll be joining you for your second leg which is the first leg of my B2B. Maybe see you in The Retreat. -
Celebrity Reflection Back to Back
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to Jaworskym's topic in Celebrity Cruises
B2B procedures vary by ship and port. Just follow the instructions you are given and all will be well. You do get to enjoy some time with fewer people on board.
