Elite status question

[vadim77777]

We have 9 credits on Celebrity now and sailing on Millenium next month. Will the 10th cruise give us Elite status or it starts on 11th sailing?

You must complete your tenth cruise

Once you garner your 10th credit you will become Elite. If you get that 10th credit on the Millie next month, then you would be Elite on your next cruise.

 

Status is gained by credits, not # of cruises:

 

Sailing w/Celebrity = 1 credit

Sailing 12 nights or more, including cruisetours = 1 credit

Sailing CC, AQ or Suite = 1 credit

 

Max per cruise = 3 credits

 

You will have something to look forward to! The Elite perks are great!! :)

The description of Select level on the website shows 5-9 tier credits which leads me to believe that the Elite level should start on the 10th. Am I wrong?

Correct. You will earn that credit at the end of your next crusie with X.

But you have to EARN that 10th credit first! So AFTER your Millie cruise, you will then have 10 credits and will qualify for Elite.

 

Classic (After your 1st earned tier credit)

Select (5-9 tier credits)

Elite (After 10 earned tier credits)

It still goes by the number of credits earned (entitled to) per completed cruise.

 

So as gimletgal indicated:

 

Status is gained by credits, not # of cruises:

 

Sailing w/Celebrity = 1 credit

Sailing 12 nights or more, including cruisetours = 1 credit

Sailing CC, AQ or Suite = 1 credit

 

Max per cruise = 3 credits

 

Now when you go online with Celebrity and click on "My Celebrity" you will see what your level is at the moment. If it states that you are "Select" then that is what you will be when you make your next sailing. Once that sailing is completed, Celebrity will add the number of credits you earned for that sailing to your bank and you will then be awarded your next level.

 

I hope this helps in understanding.

Just as you do not receive Classic member benefits until you embark on your 2nd cruise, you do not receive Elite member benefits until you embark on your 11th. (Ignoring extra point-earning opportunities for simplicity.)

But once you get to Elite the perks included are great. :cool:

especially, the secret handshake.
