Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Meets are quite subjective. You get what you get. Sometimes quite good, sometimes not.
  2. There is an Uber/Lift pickup point next to terminal 1. Since we flew into terminal 1, it was an easy walk.
  3. Celebrity does offer a transfer but like all their transfers, you wait until a bus is full before you depart. We did not take their transfer so can’t offer any other tidbit. We used Uber for both LAX to our cruise hotel and cruise port to LAX. No problem either way and I’m quite sure we paid less than Celebrity’s transfer.
  4. Not sure I understand the question. There are no levels of Elite. What exactly do you mean by Diamond levels? The next level on Celebrity is Elite+ which you must earn yourself by accumulating enough points. There is no status match to Elite+.
  5. No, it’s not more expensive as the post after yours shows. Taxi or Uber/Lyft usually run $15-$20 total. Celebrity transfer is $20-$25 per person, so actually much more expensive.
  6. In fact, you need to use the Captain’s Club minutes first, if you want to use them. If you select the all included minutes first, there is no option to switch to the free minutes.
  7. No, it’s not too late and there is no requirement to create a Captain’s Club account before the cruise. Your partner could create their account after the cruise and still get the points.
  8. That depends on the source of the OBC. You should not lose the OBC for booking onboard but if the cruise you booked also had an OBC promotion, you get whatever promotion exists when you re-price. If there is no OBC offered on the lower price, then you lose it.
  9. As noted already, not included but your retreat reservation should include a significant amount of OBC which, of course, can be used for specialty dining or the spa.
  10. That all depends on your phone settings. If you connect to a cell tower whether at a port or on the ship, you may get charges from your carrier whether you are also on WiFi or not. As noted, put your phone in airplane mode. That prevents connecting to a cell tower.
  11. Because of how often they do authorizations during the week, you may need to have a balance large enough to cover double your onboard charges. What you might want to consider is use a regular credit card for those authorizations during the week but go to guest services the last night and use the prepaid card to settle the charges.
  12. A charge to your onboard account for airfare? Never heard of such a thing. As you already noted, you can’t fly if not ticketed and you aren’t ticketed until paid for. Are you sure the charge is for airfare?
  13. Prices don’t really change from one promotion to another. Supply and demand is what really dictates pricing, not the promotion. If you see a price you like, you should book now. If the price does go down before final payment, you can get the lower price.
  14. You should have plenty of time. You can probably walk off by 8:30. I’ve only debarked there once but I had no issue getting an Uber.
