  1. If the passenger can cancel for a covered reason with insurance they need to Cancel with Celebrity before sailing or their claim will be rejected. I believe some if not most policies will cover any increase for a solo supplement for the remaining passenger. If insurance is involved you should be consulting with them.
  2. There's probably very few Pinnacles I would like to see in a bikini😀 Zeniths either. I guess they are more similar than I thought 😀
  3. Only time I have seen a few people wearing pins is to the Zenith lunch. Even then it's < 20%. Zenith's achieving status via status match won't have pins as " Zenith milestone kits" are excluded from the match benefits.
  4. If you go along the top of the main Celebrity page there is a "tab" for offers. If you find the offer there it will include the T&C's
  5. We only had a couple of 8-10 week breaks in our travel schedule so sent ours for renewal in April. We expedited everything just to make sure we had no issues. We mailed on Friday and had notification that it had been processed the following Friday and received express mail on Monday so about 10 days. Were very pleased.
  6. I generally check my Xpress pass a week before the sailing. If it doesn't have PALL I call and get them to add the complimentary packages.
  7. In the current terms and conditions https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/enroll#Terms Zenith Retreat Lounge Access Retreat Lounge access was reinstated for Zenith members on September 26, 2023.

  8. I hope the crew makes a fortune in tips for this event.
  9. Everyone (all cabin types) have access to the concierge so that's really not a big deal.
  10. I agree they are smaller than RS and I guess now priced less as well. When introduced they were positioned above RS I guess for the reason they were exclusive with the private hallway with the Reflection suite and were priced above RS. I know they haven't historically sold as well as Royals and I guess they now sell for less. I went to the Ships section on the Celebrity site and looked at retreat accommodations which are typically listed in order top to bottom. For Reflection they list Reflection , Signature, Penthouse, Royal, Celebrity, Aqua, Sky. It doesn't really matter. The question was about inclusions and yes Signature suites are considered a top suite and get's all the inclusions of a RS.
  11. Signature suites are above Royal Suite and below PH so yes get specialty dining, liquor and laundry.
  12. Have you checked your room assignment online to make sure it's not been changed. Or your credit card to see if you have been charged. It seems like you have probably won the Sky Suite but the system can be confusing. I wouldn't just depend on an email informing you of a successful bid.
  13. If you booked through Iberia you should call them. They should have access to the AA flights to make an adjustment. I wouldn't think 34 min would be a legal connection time since the door closes 15 minutes prior to departure time. Even with a non refundable fare they should make the change for no charge. I wouldn't believe the 8 hr wait time. I'd just put it on speaker and wait while doing something else.
  14. And the red/white/bubbly wines in the Retreat Lounge and in-suite.
  15. Yes but at prevailing price and promo. Maybe even has to be before final payment. I think Celebrity would have to be called to find out the prevailing rate as I don't think TA's can see that data on sold out categories.
  16. Even outside of Blue Chip if you get a reduced cost upgrade you don't get CC points for the upgraded cabin. This changed about 10 years ago even before Move UP. I was offered a reduced price RS upgrade on my Veranda GTY booking. Even though I paid $3000 for the upgrade I only got the 3 pts/day. That was in 2014.
  17. If you cancel once onboard and you paid with credit card they generally refund to your seapass account as refundable OBC providing you are still within the cancellation deadline.
  18. That's correct if you have a non refundable deposit you can make any changes to the current sailing at no-charge (price drop, change rooms etc). If you cancel you lose the entire deposit. If you change the reservation to a different ship or sailing date they just charge a $100/pp admin fee and you pay the prevailing rate and get whatever perks are available on the new sailing.
  19. When we visited Zadar last May on Constellation the hotel director Paul was credited with providing free shuttle in all the ports where required. When I read it was $15 return on this one I thought that was greedy.
  20. That's a really good price for about an hour transfer. When we did the reverse in 2023 it was $35. Are you sure it's not from the Ravenna train station to the port?? That used to be around $10. I'd make sure you have something in writing. It should be listed in your "my reservation" under transfers.
