So it’s not every cruise say in the Caribbean say that has these discounts correct? My March and April cruises haven’t budged off 20%.

You can get free drinks in the casino while playing I believe? Do you have to be a certain level? We are elite. Need to hear from the experts.

We’ve been on Equinox a couple times most recently a year ago. We have never had an issue with any of our state room attendants on any of our 15 Celebrity cruises. They have always done a fabulous job. They are worked very hard. As stated it can happen. IMHO I do believe you have to address any issues immediately on your cruise otherwise it just ruins your vacation.

Just curious alive been off line for a while and not on a cruise critic. I see some posters are commenting on changes to premium drink package. What changes and what did I miss? Any info would be appreciated.

I don’t see many Black Friday sales at least for my two 5 night cruises for March and April. No $30 and $40 drink packages. We didn't book any drink packages because we were waiting for Black Friday sales. where do I find the discounts or is it per the cruise?

I really like the all suites idea, everything included. Prices seem much higher than Celebrity but you aren’t comparing apples with apples. Plus a smaller ship is nice too. Thanks for the help.

When is the best time to book for the best deals?

Thanks ChucktownSteve and Georgiapeach51 for the incredible write ups on Regent!

I’m sure many of my questions have been asked and answered many times but… we are Celebrity Cruisers but with a Celebrity's cutbacks we are looking at expanding our horizons and possibly trying Regent or Oceania. I don’t know anything about the two cruise lines. Positives or negatives A little about ourselves. We are in our late 60’s. Fairly active and can be inactive also. We like to gamble some. Like cocktails and good food. Good music. Good deal on cruise. We would need a balcony. Sailing to the Caribbean from Florida. We are easy to please people and are not high maintenance. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated. We just want to make sure we are not out of our league and we would be happy.

My guess is January 21. If you got it for $650 x 2 all 3 perks included you got a great deal. When did you book it?

What date is your cruise?

So… if you get the free inside stateroom BCC room offer. Do you just add on the AI when you book or wait till they run a sale to add it on? Celebrity's AI WiFi is a joke spent more time on the last cruise at guest services than anything trying to figure out why we were having troubles. I’d be happy to forgetwifi and just add on gratuities and Classic drink Pkg. We are elite so not sure what discounts we would have coming? Thanks in advance..

One more… so the loyalty status transfer going from Celebrity to Royal. You just have to call Royal to find out.we are elite on cCelebrity think that brings its to Diamond on Royal. Any idea of current discount or perks with Diamond on Royal? Thank you in advance.

So bottom line it pays to keep calling! Congrats!

Ok let me try to ask a question that may not make sense. With Celebrity and Royal being the same company. There is Celebrity’s Blue Chip Casino and Royals Casino Royal. SO….. if I book on Royal cruise does the status on Celebrity transfer status over? sorry if I’m not getting this but please help me out to understand,

May God Bless Jimmy. Every time I heard one of his songs it brought a smile to my face. I was shocked to hear the news…

Great! Thanks so much for the feedback. Did you book a balcony or haven?

JamieLogical, I guess by reading your posts you are sailing MSC cruises quit a bit. Dumb question? What do you find appealing on MSC? What do you like? What do you dislike? Not being sarcastic just curious.

Thanks so much for the info! I have read on another thread that at the Martini Bar CC Happy Hour they don’t participate. Not positive.

We are looking forward to the Captains Club 5-7 Happy hour after moving up to Elite after our last cruise. I understand the first night is no Happy Hour but is it at all bars after that. Martini Bar? Do you just go to a bar and show them your card or do you need to mention you are elite? Just curious. I’m sure this has been covered but would appreciate any help!

So if I’m doing a mock booking where does the 50% off the drink package show up? Instead of just booking fare only do I click on have it all? Or do I book fare only and add the drink package after? Just trying to figure out if the cruise we want has the 50% off?

Yes! Thanks so much for doing this!

Oh ok! I will try calling again and maybe get a different person on the phone. Thanks for your help. If others want to chime in feel free!,

The BCC rep told me it’s only been a few months that it changed. We cruised in January and April of this year and before that was before Covid. So it’s been a while.

What’s is the latest with BCC deals? We called and the BCC rep said the discount would be based on our gambling on our last cruise only? I thought it was based on the cruises you have taken for the whole year? He said it changed in the last couple months? Maybe we need to call and talk to someone else? Any suggestions or help would be really appreciated.
