No it can't.

I received email for our Feb cruise. You keep your original perks and don't get the additional points for higher class. There is a min bid amount and for suites it has each type you can bid on separately 

PRetty sure it is Jazzna you are thinking of. She was on last year but she was just on Constellation  but think she just finished current contract.

Chemmo if you find time can you post who is on ship ie cruise director captain michaels club concierge. We will be on ship in Nov just curious who is on. Thanks.

Just to add we did cruise on eclipse last Jan in a S2 room 2124 I think it was could be wrong but experienced this same thing. Out of the 14 nights I only remember it doing it maybe four days though and don't think it was all the time. I just kind of though it was swells or something but definitely was a pretty good shuddering feeling. Hope they do get fixed if getting worse.

Just back from the Reflection we had dining package and it was accepted at the porch for dinner. It was fantastic you can order anything and more than one entree. They also have what they call a barbecue on Wednesday evening it was fantastic as they serve everything on the menu all you care to eat i is more of a party. Prior to dinner you meet with ships officers on the lawn for cocktails then the entire restaurant is open only for barbecue guests, the wine never stops flowing, the staff and chef enjoy themselves as much as the guests, I will never miss this again the cost was $119 if you did not have a drink package,and $70 if you have the drink package. The menu started with flat breads of different types or you can do half of one item and half of another. The main coursed included chicken and steak kabobs, lamb chops, fish, filet, lobster, shrimp, scallops, crab cakes, and deserts. We had never done this on prior cruises but it was a blast, it was a full house service was outstanding all dishes were hot when served and my glass was never empty.

Just off Reflection and that special barbeque was offered at Lawn Club not the porch. We did it at porch twice for lunch and was very good. Thought the cheesecake dessert was very tasty.

Thank you, We had hoped that the option would be for a whole lobster!:D

I should add this was on Reflection and if recall the 29 dollars sounds about right.

We were there two weeks ago and there was an option for a full Maine lobster one night but I forget the charge. On the second chic night they do have lobster tails cooked in champagne butter sauce that were very good.

Thanks for the revue. We board this sat in the same room you just had. Sounds like it will be good.

Sky suites are 100per person. Other suites above I think it was 750

San Juan appears to have several places for the ships to dock. Do you know which one you were in? We're trying to plan a 5-6 mile walk/tour when we get there and knowing that would be a great help.

You will dock in old San Juan if just visiting for day. There is nice walking path at waters edge around the forts that is great. If leaving on cruise wfrom San Juan Celebrity uses other port not near anything really.

This past spring we used romecabs for transfers and tours and were excellent. If you share cost with another couple on roll call will save you some money. We stayed at napoleon hotel which had a triple room and was close to all the sights and worked out well.

Celebrity has been offering quite a while now when booking any suite you get all four perks which one is premium beverage package as well as free internet 300obc and gratuities.

Ive been looking at all the speciality menus and notice there are two menus cor the porch, can anyone tell me what the current one is? It looks like it is either paninis or seafood.

Seafood

So, one of my suite perks is two free specialty restaurant meals. No clue how that works with a la carte pricing. And, frankly, I'm not impressed with the menu anyway. I assume the food will be better in Luminae.

 

MSC Yacht Club is calling. Lots of other options out there.

The free specialty restaurants are not included anymore with c/s and lower anymore. Believe it was any cruise booked after Jan 1/2016 and if before it will be honoured.

Celebrity did have a promotion that gave you a discount on air to some Mediterranean cruises. I think it was double that if in a suite. Could possibly be reason.

It s apparent the one that sail in suites and ones that don't have different opinions how it should be done.

They should have another option for lunch besides buffet where there is never seats or eating at poolside hamburgers where there is never seats either.

The room service menu should at least be expanded to give you a quiet lunch in suite if so inclined.

They do but there is a fee now and they are in the fitness center not on pool deck free anymore. It was around 10 per class

In may on constellation Lumina was quite busy and that's the difference I believe is the less specialty restaurants on m class that the top suites get for unlimited dining so they have no choices but use Lumina. On s class there is a lot more choice to use the unlimited specialty dining including lunch. We made use of bistro a lot for lunch but without any clarification from celebrity weather sushi on five is inch in unlimited dining for top suites you definitely have far fewer choices than before on m class.

celebrity needs to do a better job following through with what is promised and providing a consistent product on all ships which currently is not the case.

The thread should be open till celebrity confirms some questions. If person reading has nothing to add or don't pertain to them simply don't read or post in it.

When you have a suite, another option for port days on board when you are enjoying your space and/or balcony, would be to ask your butler to serve your room service lunch in the suite. :D:D

 

Cheers!

They should seriously look at that as an option but the room service menu should be updated with greater options. On m class ships being in penthouse or royal suite even with unlimited specialty dining there is no options for you now at lunch when at least before bistro could be used for a quite lunch.

Samuel,

I didn't become able to afford a RS by walking past $800 worth of anything, promised amenities at booking included. As groryjm posted regarding promised unlimited specialty dining, it's not the money as much as the inconsistencies in X's own statements. This brings about what's perceived to be their attempts to use "fine print" to nickel-and-dime their best customers. I haven't cancelled my booking, but a letter sent to X's Executive Office 5 weeks ago, relaying my booking experience and more that I've chosen not to post, remains unanswered at this time. They don't seem to care.

I spoke with celebrity just this week with this same complaint. I suggested to then a sheet in room outlining all perks and restaurants outlined so everyone is consistent and informed. I wrote a letter to concerns@celebrity.com and was contacted by email and phone within two days. Maybe try sending your concern through that channel.

On our April 27 cruise I was called 2weeks before. It was Jerry I spoke with and took all our preferences. I have number if needed but were never emailed this time just called on phone.

We used transfers from port and back. Driver was timely waiting when we exited ship. He was very knowledgeable gave us directions and showed us where to meet for return. It made for a very easy to do day in Athens with no frustrations. Would not hesitate recommending the company as emails were always promptly returned as well.

Just got off it and Megan was Michaels concierge and did an excellent job.
