We were on Connie this past January when we learned of the "refurb".

Hoping that they would do more to cabins, like more USB ports and update showers.

We will be on Connie again in November.

I upgraded for $8.99 (mainly wanted better wines at dinner).  I got Elite status from diamond +.  What is the Elite discount that I see mentioned??

X won't apply your "status" to Flash Sales, bummer.

On our February 3 cruise, on the Beyond is on sale. Just checked and got the upgrade for $8.99 pp

OMG !!!

I was born and raised in Grand Rapids !

Moved south 8 years ago !

One last note on 35% discount.

I think it was a last year, can't recall exactly when.

Upgrade dropped to $6.99 for Classic to Premium.

Keep watching X website !

Glad I could help everyone with the heads up !

I just saw that X is having a flash sale, upgrade Classic to Premium.

Was, $10.99 per person, now, $8.99 per person.

The only issue we had with towels are we get too many, which is great !

They always give us fresh towels in the morning, afternoon and prior to returning to cabin in the evening.

We enrolled in the Stay Green, I think that's the name, anyway, after many X cruises you would never know, cabin attendants are always sprucing up our cabin !

They deserve a lot more than what they make !

Ditto !

I have AT&T for many years on many cruises at different ports.

I always turn to Airplane Mode before ship leaves and never ever had any issues.

Yes, I attempted to log in and it was slow and finally got a screen that states down for maintenance/upgrade.

We have cruised out Tampa several times, but have never stayed at a hotel the night prior.

We booked a hotel in Ybor City, but, know nothing about the area.

Any suggestions on restaurants ?

My understanding is if you use the 90 minutes you no longer have a discount.  People are saying use the 90 minutes first and then the purchased package. I ask why???  Why bother, if you paid for a package use it. 

 

I have had some success stacking the pre-cruise discount and the CC discount by calling the CC number.  You cannot do it online, you have to call.  Flash sales are just that, They come and go in a flash and are marked as FLASH SALE.  The best times for them seem to be Black Friday and July 4.  There are others but the discounts don't seem to be as big. 

 

The real rip off comes when you both have Elite status but you only buy a single device package during a flash sale thinking that "oh, I can use my 90 minutes and they are gone, I can use hers because we did not use that perk during the Flash Sale".  Nope, once you activate the package your other perk is gone whether or not you used  the discount.  

I always have issues logging into ship wifi and tech staff says I must use my 90 minutes before I use my purchased wifi.

It's not me making this up.

I heard this from other cruisers as well.

I'm in my reservation currently and it shows,

Premium Wi-Fi 2 Devices

 

 

Full Sailing - 13 Days

From

$35.99 / per guest per day

$45.89 onboard

(20% OFF) PRE-CRUISE SAVINGS

 

As an Elite member of Captain's Club, we get another 30 percent discount so that should be $10.80 off the cost or $25.19 a day. When added to the cart, the only discount applied is the 20 percent off for pre-cruise savings. Total is $467.87, which is $35.99 a day X 13 days.

So, you purchased Premium wifi  ?

Elite, you have 90 minutes, you have to use it first.

Since you posted your reply, I have been looking and two hours later, I am still not finding what I need to know. I know how to get the 90 free minutes. I am trying to book the discounted Wifi package before cruising and also applying the 30 percent off for being Elite. When the package is in the cart and I am trying to check out, I am not getting the additional discount. How do you get both discounts to appear? Does it have to be called in?

No

Look at the website or app, you don't have to do anything, its a perk for your status.

If you are Elite, you dont have to do anything.

If you need more assistance please send me a message, I will try to help you !

Happy Cruising !

I responded to a similar question concerning Elite 90 minutes internet perk.

Yes, 90 minutes, but, if you already have internet you purchased or as an all included perk you must use the Elite minutes firsty.

Also, make sure you logoff after each use to conserve the minutes, it goes very fast.

Ditto !

But, let me warn you, that 90 min will go very if you don't take care.

To conserve your minutes, logout after each use, if you don't they will disappear, especially if you stream something.

I use it only to check email and my Blink cameras every other day.

Excuse me, maybe I said that incorrectly.

I meant we no longer get the All Included cuz it adds a lot to your cost.

We want to go bare bones on our next cruise, buying beverages by the drink/glass, we always have wifi due to status.

On a normal day we have 7-9 beverages a day.

I think I saw this somewhere on the board but cant find it now.

Is there a price list for individual alcoholic beverages, Cafe Al Bacio and bottles of water.

We use to get Classic Beverage package as a perk and upgrade to Premium.

Since we no longer can get the "All Included", and the purchase price of a package is sky high we were looking at buying drinks per glass.

Hello, does anyone h.ave info on valet parking at Port of Tampa/Celebrity Cruises ?

We met folks on last cruise in January 2024 who used the valet parking and they love it !

I would love to know how, price and procedure.

Thank you !

I would never ever consider not paying gratuities.

With that said, would your cabin attendant know if you did not pay gratuities ?

We also have the Premium package and each morning in the buffet we get a couple large bottles of Evian to take back to our cabin.

Most other place/bars you get only the smaller bottles.,

We are on the Constellation in January 2024.

We love attending the nightly shows, but the last few cruises the shows were the same.

Is there a way to find out what shows are on certain ships at certain times ?

Thanx !

We have when there was a waitlist on a sea day .I think it depends on the cruise and weather.Our cruise it was cold and rainy so everyone was inside.

I have been on many X cruises and eat in Sushi On 5 and Raw On 5 and never had to make reservations, never seen it that full either.
