Which month? I have been waiting since November for an issue to be resolved and have called numerous times.

Yes. Daily gratuities will be charged against your account. It will first be deducted from your non-fundable(given to you by Celebrity) OBC. If there is not enough non-refundable OBC, they take it out of your refundable OBC. Then, your credit card may be charged.

Such Negativity-Anything Positive to Say?
keesar replied to Jamietravelstheworld's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I see only Ken and Barbies on the tv ad. Don't see anyone resembling those on my Celebrity cruises. -
Just switch over to the Fun Ships. Better burgers there.
-
Whatever you do, don't take a Celebrity sponsored bus to the airport if time is an issue. Some will try to use leftover OBC but not worth it.

Today, the holiday is being observed--- by people heading to shopping centers, malls, and home improvement stores.😄
-
Yes, it is a Federal Holiday in the United States. Schools, banks, and Wall Street are closed. However, stores and restaurants are open.

We received one on the Beyond.

I am able to improve any burger by adding grilled and fresh onions, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and lots of condiments. Actually, I thought the hot dogs were actually pretty good at the Mast Grill. I am thankful for your thoughtful review.

The OP must have a very low bar for pizza and burgers. I thought those two areas were the weakest. Other comments were spot on. Outstanding food at the buffet and MDR.

But how will you get your laundry done?

1st time Celebrity Cruiser -- questions about dining
keesar replied to tarheel87's topic in Celebrity Cruises
If you want a certain day and time, then book individual restaurants and forget the package. You could snag a deal on the ship but the times are less desirable to us. Murano is worth the price. Excellent service and food. Our favorite. -
I am happy you found Starlink as being dependable. On our cruise in the Caribbean, FaceTime did not perform well even on the Premium Plan. Even emails with photos were not consistent. It may be due to the ship's location.

A few Alaska questions specific to Celebrity
keesar replied to Georgia_Peaches's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I found the dress to be rather casual. Few cruisers dressed up. Alot more casual than the Caribbean or Europe. It was also rather cool in the ship so dress accordingly. As for locally sourced food, there was an fish night leaving Juneau. There was fresh cod, halibut and salmon available at the Oceanview. It was delicious and cooked to order. -
You may want to first do some math. If you exceed the allotted amount for the Classic Package, you just pay the difference. For example, if a drink costs $14 and you allowed amount is $10, you would pay $4 plus 20% which end up $4.80. Figure out the difference between the Premium upgrade and paying the overage.

Do you get an emblem that you can have sewn on your sweater, blazer or tuxedo that says "Elite", "Elite Plus", etc.? And do you get a FREE Celebrity blazer when you reach zenith? 😀

I was told that the dedicated personal planners have been eliminated. You will most likely get a different individual each time whose expertise varies.
-
I wonder what the real value of points is. Let's call it what it is.
-
Don't worry. That staff member is being taken care of.
-
When you received the receipt at the end of the meal, there was a statement that indicated that an 18% gratuity had been included. This was before the increase in price and the 20% add on upon checking out online.
-
If I buy a glass of wine for $10 and there is a 20% added gratuity, I believe that goes to the drink staff. 20% is a fair tip for a meal. If you want to add more, it is solely up to you.

We have met cruisers from Luminae who were dining in Blu. It was mentioned that they did not care for the service or food in Luminae. I was surprised to hear that. They liked the more quiet atmosphere in Blu. I think the key is to arrive at a less busy time and the chances of being seated without a lengthy wait would be improved.
-
If you go on a cruise expecting to be disappointed, then guess what will likely happen? Cancel and choose a ship that you are looking forward to. You stand a much better chance of having a good time. Don't waste your time and money bidding up. Move on.
-
They do hold back some days/times for those that have already booked dining packages. On our cruise, there was a cancellation list being kept at Eden. That was an option that we used with success.

Confused about select dining reservations on E class
keesar replied to dleahy4444's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I had spent a good deal of time making reservations for different MDRs. When we got there, we were told there were no reservations and it was Anytime. If we got there early, there was no wait. However, it got busy around 6:30ish and we had to wait, return or try a different venue.
