Cruise Planner is Now Showing Loyalty Savings
TommyD3 replied to mahdnc's topic in Celebrity Cruises
My 25% Zenith discount on dining has also disappeared !!! I was SO HAPPY when I saw it a week ago. I guess it was too good to be true (or too hard for Celebrity IT) !!! -
I put a hold on last night. Tried to finalize thru Future Cruise Sales to get the $200 deposit. They refused, saying we had to cancel the hold and re-book. I know I would not get that price if I re-book !!! Not really willing to put down a $900 deposit on a $1800 cruise 20 months out !!! Did something similar when we booked cheap cruises a year or two ago and Celebrity came back and doubled and tripled the booked prices (had booked 4 in a row) !!! Their fine print says they have the right to change the price of your booked cruise up to the day of sailing. Suspect the same will happen on these bookings !!!

Updates to Zenith + Retreat with cruise only rate
TommyD3 replied to Jeremiah1212's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Elite is 300. Elite Plus is 750. Zenith is 3000. Using the same logic Zenith Plus would be 7500. -
Updates to Zenith + Retreat with cruise only rate
TommyD3 replied to Jeremiah1212's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Did anyone suggest to LHB that they should create a Zenith Plus level at 7500? Would be great since there are so many new Zeniths every day. Would be great if they honored every Z+ and some extra benefits like complementary Blu access for those in lower level cabins. -
Why is Celebrity Cruises Ignoring California Ports ?
TommyD3 replied to CDRonboard's topic in Celebrity Cruises
They had Hawaii round trip from San Diego 15 night cruises in 2013. Did 2X B2B !!! Would do again in a heartbeat if offered by Celebrity !!! Holland has SO MANY sailings round trip San Diego. Even 50+ days to French Polynesia !! -
Website issues w/ Loyalty versus Pre-Cruise Savings - Warning
TommyD3 replied to mtempelaar's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Great info. Can now get the 25% Zenith discount even on the Unlimited package. Close in cruises (a month out) are pretty much sold out (except for maybe 8:30). Still a VERY nice addition. -
So just so I am prepared…booking specialty on board on Beyond ?
TommyD3 replied to brockmom's topic in Celebrity Cruises
What percentage discount are we talking. We get 25% off as Zenith. Were they offering that much or more? I find it interesting that Le Voyage is now 2X the cost of Fine Cut !!! -

Live from Celebrity Ascent March 3rd-10th Caribbean sailing
TommyD3 replied to catsmit's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I wish Celebrity still did R/T Hawaii from CA !!! Would sign up immediately. Asked the new President about this and R/T Panama Canal in the request for questions. -
Is the cost for a PH still worth it ? What has changed?
TommyD3 replied to cavaaller's topic in Celebrity Cruises
My family were pricing cabins on the Apex TA in March 2025 for my 70th birthday. Considered the PH and IC because they each have two bedrooms. For the 4 of us (all adults) the PH is just over $45,000 and the IC is just under $80,000. In my mind that is absurd !!! I could buy a brand new car even w/o any trade in for that kind of money !!! -
Booked an inside GTY for a sailing onboard Ascent. Cabin assigned almost immediately. Unfortunately it was 3162 which is right next to the Martini bar with its 120 db sound level. Worked with my TA to get changed. Originally told there were no other cabins of the same category available. The TA ended up having her Celebrity rep move us to another inside on an upper deck. Never again will we book an inside GTY !!!

Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge

Yes it is a dry Rose !!! -
Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge
TommyD3 replied to TrueCruiseaholic's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I suspect that the problem is that when the wine prices were increased past the premium package cap, the consumption dropped. Therefore they reduced their future orders. Since the orders are put in at least a month in advance, now they are not receiving enough new stock of the wines that are back within the package cap. -
Reflection LIVE 2/3/24-2/11/24: 8 Crazy Nights of ABC Islands
TommyD3 replied to GenerationX's topic in Celebrity Cruises
What is the cover charge for lunch at LCG? $30 pp? -
Same as Diamond ???
-
I certainly hope not. Celebrity would be overrun with Pinnacles !!! Plus the Pinnacle benefits are much worse than Zenith. They can only get drinks in the lounge, they don't get a free beverage package !!
-
I agree a Zenith Plus level at 7500 points would be great !!! Would probably have about as many members as the original Zenith level did when it was first implemented in late 2013 (less than 50). Even Zeniths don't get any free dining upgrade (unless the top cruiser) but complementary Blu access would be a great perk for Zenith+. Also would be nice if they honored EVERY Zenith+ onboard and not just the top cruiser. Last week my daughter had 50 points less than the top cruiser (both triple Zenith) and more Celebrity cruises (250+), but got nothing !!!

Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge

Edge prices in Australia where they add the 20% gratuity into the price. -
Surcharges for drinks in Retreat Lounge
TommyD3 replied to TrueCruiseaholic's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I would love to know WHY the price increases were so large ??? For example the Whispering Angel was $12 a glass and is now $19 - a 58% increase !!! Even the Mer Soleil was $14 a glass and is now $19 a glass - a 35.7% increase. None of these wines increased anywhere near that much in stores. Seems like Celebrity is trying to make sure they have no repeat business !!!
