Has anyone else noticed that it now takes way more cruises to move up a level in Celebrity since they introduced new regulations last Fall? We were on our way to moving up a level in 3 cruises. We had booked 4 new cruises to enjoy being elite on the 4th. Then we were hit with the new Captain's Club regulations. We estimate it will take another 8 - 10 cruises to move up instead of 3. We couldn't cancel our April & May cruises this year but we will cancel our two 2015 cruises and won't sail Celebrity again. We feel they really have treated their existing members badly. They should have instigated changed regulations for new members and left the old levels in place for their existing members. They are not the only cruiseline in the water and we will choose Princess from now on.

"The rules have changed" does that mean I can wrap my [...] frame into a robe and go to the Buffet?

LOL

On formal night.

I've seen it.

I pronounce it "waste of space."

I like the Century level. Maybe after that they can add an Infinity level at the same number of points.

If it requires a dry dock to make the change

Unless they need to work on the outer hull parts normally underwater, it shouldn't.

One third of a Zenith ... does that mean you're a Ze? :o

I'm considering Murano Restaurant for the evening of the second formal night, but wonder if that's a bit daft ...

 

Is the food on formal nights better than on normal MDR nights?

Murano would be a great choice for formal night.

Can you use your package to purchase the large bottle of Evian that is in the cabin?

At $360 for such a short cruise, I'd probably stick with the Sweet 16. Unless you really love spending time on your balcony or need a few extra Captain's Club points.

Of the ports you name, I've found Antigua to be the best for price and selection.

Okay, OP, let's say you're running X. You lay down the law: "Bust a gut from day one" to impress cruisers who've tried other lines, and it works: they book with you again.

Then they come back again, and see you "busting a gut" for another batch of first-timers, while they feel taken for granted. What then?

Last I heard it was over 7400, quite remarkable.:):)

A suit is one item. (So is a pair of socks.)

Maybe this has already been addressed , but can Elite plus get 15% discount on 3 nt. dine pkg. in Specialty restaurants ?

If you can, scan it in so we can see.

Newsletter

I got the newest Captain's Club newsletter in the mail. I noticed in the chart that shows how many points are awarded for a night in the various cabin categories, they put decimal points and tenths digits on all the numbers.

I wonder if this means fractional points will someday be awarded? (Onboard spending?)

Sometimes there's a lunch on a sea day. Sometimes not. They won't know in advance.

I don't like reviews at all. I never look at them.

Depends on what you mean by "require."

Classical doesn't draw the younger big spenders X wants.

I would like the ability to "ignore" an entire thread, not just a single CC member. Some threads are so ridiculous or confrontational that I'd like it to not even be visible to me.

Better yet, an ability to filter them from the page before I even see them. Imagine a board where you could choose to never see another "Can I watch Big Sports Event on my cruise?" thread.

Will this "divorce" last as long as the one with Park West did? :rolleyes:

There have always been top cruisers who chose to decline the spotlight. I'm looking at a certificate on our wall right now that we received only because someone else didn't want to stand up at the Captain's Club party.

Rest assured, these folks are not being forced on stage at bayonet point. ;)

Is anyone else confused by this? the commonality seems to be: "I want the system that gives me more points no matter what logic is applied".
