Sky suite question and Michaels club

[Tudorcruisers]

I was under the impression that guests in a Sky suite do not have access to Michaels Club concierge lounge. I just read info on a site showing that US and Canadian citizens when booking Sky suite will have this access. I'm UK and we were told we didn't have this.

 

 

Would love clarification from anyone as to whether this is correct or not? Thanks.

No sky suite guests do not have access to Michael's Club. They do have access to the suite dining room.

Access to Michael's Club is not included as a Sky Suite benefit. Those who may have access include Celebrity Suites or higher, Zenith Loyalty members,desiginated VIPs and on one cruise, Blue Chip passengers.

Who are Blue Chip passengers?

[Orator]

Who are Blue Chip passengers?

 

Folks who spend lots of time in the Casino.

Once saw a check in line at the port that indicated "Suites, Zenith, and Blue Chip.".

Asked about that and was told by Michael's Club Concierge that they receive special VIP treatment on desiginated cruises.

Don't believe everything you read.

 

Clearly someone simply miscopied the text from the higher suite categories.

 

Sky Suites do not have access.

[DaisyFire]

There is much that is changing on the Celebrity site these days - and I suspect that this is just a copy/paste (content management) error. Here are the descriptions for the Sky Suite and Celebrity Suite categories from Suite Class information section on the US site (access to Michael's Club is listed only for Celebrity Suite (based on these 2 categories only):

Access to the private Michael's Club

[Tudorcruisers]

I just think it was extremely misleading for "Expedia" to have this on their site as it would definitely have enticed me to book thinking I was getting all these privileges.

Thanks for the clarification.

Seeing i never go to the casino, except to walk through it, I would have never known that there are gambiing groups on board.

[WpgCruise]

Given the error is on a Travel Agents site, and has nothing to do with Celebrity, my question to you is have you taken it up with the one responsible for the error ?

Yes.-they told me to contact Celebrity!!!

[kovhanperl]

They do have access to the suite dining room.

[Yorkshire-Pudding]

To be fair to the OP, there is another major UK cruise TA who also has access to Michael's included as a Sky Suite perk (not just an S2). It just seems too much of a coincidence for both Expedia and this other site to both be showing incorrect information without it originating from Celebrity.:eek:

thanks Yorkshire-pudding. It's a shame we can't name on the forum :(

You could probably pay for a premium drink pack and still have money in your pocket for the difference between a Celebrity suite and Sky suite and be able to drink anywhere instead of being confined in a dark interior lounge.

 

happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌞

You make it sound like a dark cave......lol

IMHO, that's what Michael's is, an uninviting, dark interior space.

On the Connie the club has a window and door access to the deck, which the wonderful people staffing the club will happily bring you drinks while you sit/lounge on. Not dark or interior!

We were on Reflection, and didn't find Michael's to be a dark, uninviting place at all. Although we had the beverage package, we loved Michael's for the excellent service, friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere. It was a nice alternative for us from the crowded, busy lounges where it is often hard to find a good seat or get a prompt drink during peak time. Walk into Michael's and your chosen drink will be ready with a smile. Now, whether this is worth the added cost is another argument entirely.

I agree with you, Bob. I spent many hours of peace and quiet in Michael's Club while on Connie in November. Whenever I saw my smoking buddies out on Deck 4, I'd go outside and visit with them.

 

It was NEITHER dark NOR interior....

 

I will see what Michael's Club is like on Summit in less than 2 weeks, as I upgraded to a CS.

Thanks for the correction. I guess I was referring to the Solstis Class Ships.

[Man_Overboard]

We are in a RS on Connie's Crossing. It is now 4:10 pm and I am all alone in the gorgeous Michaels Club having JW Black, rocks. When I want a cigar I simply exit the club and puff away right outside the door with Mr Walker in my hand. Superb service & top shelf staff. Please keep telling folks that MC is a dreary dark place unsuitable for the 99%. 😊

Unless you are a Zenith member, you only have access to Michael's club if you are staying in Celebrity Suite and above.

 

Enjoy your cruise
