  1. Spring breakers don’t want to pay for a Celebrity cruise, if they’re on there, it’s most likely because their parents paid for them to be there. Don’t think I’ve seen a sailing where there more than two dozen passengers in their 20s
  2. It’s in the email body…I saved both the BCC and reg X into my contacts…1-866-461-7170
  3. Also, since sometimes people bring kids, how many people total including yourself in your party are there?
  4. If you have a sailing booked, it's on the app. It might be ship specific
  5. It seems to be a mystery at the moment as we have many datapoints on here of those claiming they are receiving these "X needs to fill the ship" offers and never step foot in the casino or played very little. If you had enough play on your last sailing (rumored to be an average of 150-200 tier points a night) you can call in and book a free sailing.
  6. First and foremost, ALWAYS CALL the BCC, never use the online REQUEST form because many are calling in and booking the sailings before the BCC even checks the online request forms. The BCC offers 15% off the drink package, I'm not clear if it stacks with CC discount. Either way you need to call in, I would recommend calling BCC, ask if their 15% discount stacks with the CC and if no, ask for them to transfer you to reg X customer service so they can apply the CC discount.
  7. Beyond 2023 generally depends on the current rules and your play. X and RCI share the same parent holding company (RCG), there are some reciprocity benefits yet casino offers are not one of them. There is a backdoor option through URComped where you send your RCI offer and see they can get you a comped room on X yet there are gambling player requirements you would need to meet.
  8. @20165, to oversimply it, take these steps: 1) Call X, request to change to Select Dining 2) If no luck, board the ship early and visit your assigned restaurant's host stand to request Select Dining
  9. Good to know. A little turkey day eve humor..."The girls next door gave me a Rolex for my birthday. But I think they misunderstood when I said I wanna watch."
  10. Refreshing the app worked for me, for the iPhone the refresh button is located within the Daily Planner
  11. Agents having discretion is surprising, if one owes duties it's pretty black and white that one owes duty. Simply comes down to if the agent likes you or not.
  12. Call the BCC, I called about 45mins ago, was on hold for less than 5mins: 1) Ask them how many tier points you have 2) Ask them if you qualify for a comped sailing, they'll usually want a specific sailing, try saying the Millie on March 4th 3) If you qualify for a comped sailing, ask about the drink package discounts (not sure if it stacks)
  13. Specialty dining package and spa pass (I think was $129/person on my previous 7 night sailing)
  14. If we're talking ethics here, shouldn't you demand to pay duty and if the agent refuses, request to get the Agent's supervisor involved?
  15. To add, you can order off the any of the 4 menus
  16. Perhaps it stacks with your CC status; just my guess
  17. Just on her, it is close to the entrance on the port side, don't recall any signage. It's a busy drink station (lots of wait staff order there) with a coffee maker.
  18. BCC does sell the drink package at a 15% discount, no BCC discount for anything else. I've called multiple times to buy the internet and they always need to transfer me to reg X.
  19. You call the regular X line, you were incorrectly referred
  20. Yes there are tiers and you need to gamble a lot to get anywhere. They have a partnership with the MGM but X won't let you "double dip" anymore, you have to pick MGM benefits or X benefits
  21. I've wasted money on far wasteful things other than luggage delivery but boy is that service pricey especially considering alternatives exist such as using the airline which is usually $30/bag. For $144/domestic bag (plus fees/taxes), I could go to Ross/TJ max and buy several days of clothing. Going from Mia to Barcelona is $399/bag. You also have to be packed days in advance. Many travel credit cards cover delayed luggage and you will get paid if your luggage is permanently lost. Just my (probably UNwanted) two cents...
  22. Thanks for following up. Was a code share therefore Delta is in charge of baggage. I’m not sure when they started adding barcodes to luggage but I find it helpful
  23. Once you're seated in Blu for dinner, usually the first interaction you'll have is with someone is they'll slap down a basket of bread with a tray of 3 butters.
