I thought the same, however, when I asked for clarification they insisted there was a dedicated lounge on their Beyond sailing. So I was interested to see if anyone else had a similar experience. It wouldn't be difficult for Celebrity to resurrect the CC lounge. We certainly enjoyed it and made a number of lasting friendships there.

I have been reading for a long time and my comprehension is fine thank you very much. Celebrity for years had a dedicated CC lounge from 5-7 each evening offering the CC drink menu and passed hours devours. It stopped with the pandemic and seeing this post my thought is that it might be returning. The person who posted might have been mistaken that's why I reached out here to see if anyone had a recent experience..

Sorry, but Celebrity had a dedicated lounge foe Elite and above for many years. Five to seven each night save for embarkation and senior officers' party night.

Someone posted on another source that they had a dedicated CC lounge on a recent Beyond sailing. Just wondering if anyone else has seen a return of the lounge on any other ships.

They don't allow up grades from the Captain's club drink menu.

I just received an email with a Blue chip offer of 60% off select sailings. This is a little confusing as Celebrity's current offer is 75% off the second guest which would be close to the Blue chip offer. Has anyone else received this offer and explored the details?

with many cruisers having a beverage package they probably don't think it's needed.

Cash $$$$ is King.

Thanks for the number on hold now.

Well this is interesting. I have over 1200 earned Captain's club points, now when I log into my account on the Celebrity website it shows zero points and lists my level as preview rather than Elie plus. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Don't like the menu. The venue is just okay and the service is usually good. With the premium you usually pay for Aqua class you could probably book concierge and it in a specialty restaurant ever night if you wanted too and still save money. You can't book sail only in Aqua class.

Most people seem to enjoy Blu but it's not for me. I prefer the MDR.

use a TA it doesn't cost you and many will provide addition OBC.

Can't agree. The staff on the edge on our recently completed Trans Atlantic was the worst ever. Example for different bar servers did not know "on the rocks" meant a drink on ice. Really? Who trained these people. A number of bar staff didn't know how to make a Manhattan. Come on man. In contrast our recently completed sailing on the Constellation (December 12, 2022) the entire crew was on point, some of the best service we have every had on thirty plus celebrity cruises.

Absolutely yes! The recent cutbacks cheapen the Celebrity product.

I agree suite prices on Celebrity are very high. The value just isn't there for us.

Hmm I wonder what would be deluxe about a port hole?

what is a DPV?

You can get a real balcony on both the S and M class ships.

Actually the two free bags of laundry is one of my favorite Elite plus perks, especially on 14 night and longer cruises. It's a real money saver!

I agree with the strange seating around the ship and the extra loud music, just didn't seem there was a place to enjoy a cocktail and conversation. We really enjoy the M class ships but the S class isn't bad.

I agree that it's a ship dedicated to suite guests. My perspective is from the non suite passenger.

To me it was an ocean view with a window that opened not a verandah at all. If I ever sailed an Edge class again ( very doubtful) I wouldn't waste my money on one I would just book a regular ocean view.

Agreed, what was it you didn't like about the class?

We just switched our fall 2023 trans Atlantic from the Beyond to the Constellation, we had booked the Beyond before we did this fall's Ta on the Edge. Having now sailed the Edge class I am not impressed at all, so I am wondering how the majority of veteran Celebrity cruisers feel. My dislike is based on the lack of bars and lounges, the new dining concept and the amount of deck space devoted to high end boutiques. To us the Edge was very different from all of the other Celebrity ships we have sailed on.
