Current 75% sale still charging singles 200%
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to citruscruiser's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I get that. But why should I have to engage in that? -
Yes.

This will hurt Celebrity eventually. The good staff will quit or move to another cruiseline. For me, Celebrity has always been about the wonderful staff. Also, their current practice of charging solos $2-3000 more for a cabin than they charge a couple to occupy the same space is asinine. I don't plan to fall for it. I can take my vacation dollars elsewhere.

Yes, I have. Why do you ask? I never comment on a thread without reading all of it. -

Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to citruscruiser's topic in Celebrity Cruises
But the price for a solo isn't double, it's more than the price for two in a cabin. Example pricing for Silhouette March 25, 2024, booking at nonrefundable fare in AQ: double: $4,503.60 solo: $5,827.00 In my view, that's highway (or seaway) robbery. -
Where does Constellation port in Cinque Terre?
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to amurray88's topic in Celebrity Cruises
There is no port in Cinque Terre. To get there, you will have to take a bus and local boats. And on the tour we took, we did a portion of the return to the bus by local train. -
Yes, that's all you need to do. Your number and your status will show up.

Thanks for your report, Rollie. I agree that Celebrity's suite prices are completely out of control. Three times what I paid last year. Not happening. I've sailed twice in MSC's YC. I thought the cabins were excellent, the lounge area fantastic and the same for the pool area. Their private island was wonderful. I agree that service does not match Celebrity's level, particularly in the restaurant. And I last sailed YC prior to the pandemic. At that time, I didn't think the food measured up to Celebrity either. What has kept me from sailing them again is that I do not care for 7-night itineraries and I hate driving to Miami. I second the recommendation to book with a TA who does a lot of business with MSC. My TA at the time almost fired me because of the difficulty of working with MSC. I would never attempt to deal with them on my own.

Just back from 10 nights on the Silhouette with some of the usual suspects. Had a great cruise!

I've done PH, RS, & SS (and regular cabins) on Summit and MSC Yacht Club on Seashore 2X. The food is far better on the Summit and the service more professional and polished. I enjoyed Seashore, but their prices have risen along with everyone else's. And I hate sailing out of Miami. I'm just off 10 nights on Silhouette out of Fort Lauderdale. The service and food were excellent (with the exception of the lobster mac & cheese at The Lawn Club which was absolutely dreadful). And I was not in a suite this time. I would never do that on MSC. With them, it's Yacht Club or nothing.

Yes, Guest Relations' assortment of reading glasses is impressive. I left mine on the table in Luminae one night. Went down to see if they had been turned in--there they were in this large box FULL of reading glasses!

Celebrity (leather) luggage tags in the planner
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to zitsky's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just buy the clear plastic ones on Amazon, print out your tags, insert, and go. -
Anyone in a Sky Suite thinking to go down a level?
Happy Cruiser 6143 replied to zitsky's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I will not pay the prices they are charging for PH or RS. The current prices are triple what I paid last year. Not happening. -
Happy Birthday, Jim! I've never managed to be on board on my birthday. Had two B2B Iceland/Greenland cruises booked which would have included my birthday, but they were both killed by Covid. I haven't noticed too many changes in the Luminae menu, but I'm not very attuned to that and we have been doing a lot of specialty restaurants. The service and food in Luminae has been excellent. I was greatly disappointed in The Lawn Club Grill. The steak was delicious. The rest of it was meh or absolutely horrible (lobster mac & cheese). I certainly won't be rushing back there.
