CHEZMARYLOU Posted November 26, 2015 #426 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thank you Bea. I had received some of this information a few weeks ago when I spoke with a shore side concierge but did not want to post it based on a phone conversation.

actuarian Posted November 26, 2015 #428 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Received this info in an email from Celebrity: No, the benefit being added for Sky Suite guests is access to Michael’s Club. On boarding day Sky Suite guests will be provided with a blue coloured identifier tag and will be directed to Luminae for refreshments and lunch until Suites are available to access. Michael's club was exclusive Michael’s Club is an underused area on most ships, with the capability to welcome more guests staying in our suites. Thank you for this information. I think that the word "was" in the in the middle paragraph ("Michael's club was exclusive") is very interesting.

I think that the word "was" in the in the middle paragraph ("Michael's club was exclusive") is very interesting. I think I should have highlighted that in blue as it reads more like it was a question or point being raised - so it's more my fault for it reading as it does. By the time I noticed it, it was too late to edit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted November 27, 2015 #431 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks for the confirmation. Nothing unexpected there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruza Posted November 27, 2015 #432 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I thought so, too. Judging by the responses, others feel the same way. I'm sailing for the first time with Celebrity in January in a Sky Suite. With Michael's Club access being rolled out to SS guests it hadn't been clear what elements were included. It's good to know what to expect. I received this information when trying to elicit confirmation of our complimentary 2 speciality restaurant dinners being honoured. Instead, I got a lot of marketing material re the new suite benefits :rolleyes: We are sailing in SS in December 12th 2015. Will we have access to Michael's or it will be available starting 2016. Also, one more questions: is complimentary special restaurant for Suite perk is still available? Thanks a lot for info, very helpful Mike Edited November 27, 2015 by cruza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted November 27, 2015 #433 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Not sure when MC starts for SS guests but you will still have the complementary specialty dining based on the length of your cruise, 1 night for 7 days, 2 for 8 or more.

livingasia Posted December 2, 2015 #435 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I've never been on a Celebrity Cruise and have been mentally switching between HAL, Princess and Celebrity for months as prices move like a rollercoaster for the Asian departures. We live in Thailand and can jump to Singapore easily. I'd guess we are the exact target folk cruise lines are wanting to get - well under 50, independently solvent and looking to spend while getting relative value for money. Today we booked a suite guarantee on a January 2016 sailing departing Singapore. Why? Who could turn down such a great suite deal with everything included. It's not so much the cost, just aware of no need to spend another $XXXXX onboard. One new pair of Celebrity travelers just signed up. By the way, I doubt we will spend anytime in the Michael's club as we tend to like looking over everywhere and enjoying ourselves. From where I am looking, Celebrity is hitting the spot for us folk living in Asia with great fares and great benefits. Princess are close on price, HAL are off the chart price wise to benefits from where I am sitting. Celebrity are more than half the price of HAL for balcony cabin and they throw in free drinks on like for like cruise duration's/destinations. I'd guess Celebrity have their head screwed on to attract NEW younger customers that all companies need and they are not relying on their traditional US driven customer base.

suzyluvs2cruise Posted December 3, 2015 #436 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I notice that this offer is only good thru April, 2017. Has anyone gotten an indication that this will be permanent change? Jdg The promotion ends 1//3 but includes bookings up until 4/17 which is when the itineraries have been announced. I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with something similar in January, but you never know. Happy sailing, Jenna I'm looking to book a Canada/NE itinerary for Sept '17 that was recently released. Would love to have the promotion that is currently available. I'm new to Celebrity and would like to know more about Michael's Club....special events? complimentary drink menu? Did I see that the complimentary drink hours are not exclusively 5-8? Thanks....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were on Equinox recently, we were able to get drinks in Michael's Club any time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the December 11 cruise to December 21 on Equinox. So do they start the SS use of MC during the middle of that cruise? Great if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubylake Posted December 6, 2015 #441 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi, We will be onboard Silhouette next week for the first time. It seems the in-suite espresso will be complimentary to Sky suite guests. But is there a charge if we order them at breakfast at Luminae or Cafe Al Bacio? Thank you.

That's correct, unless you have a beverage package or are Elite Plus. Happy sailing, Jenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ordered cappuccino a few years ago and by the time we got the drink it was cold. Never did it again. It was easier to go to Bacio and bring it back, also still hot. Yes, they do charge at breakfast and Bacio unless you have a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminae is close to Al Bacio and the have their own capicino machine anyway. Since Luminae has only been open since April, lots of changes from a few years ago.

Gordoncruickshank Posted December 7, 2015 #448 Share Posted December 7, 2015 In February, on the Eclipse, the coffee from the machine was terrible. It was almost undrinkable. It had improved by September/ October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise a holic Posted December 7, 2015 #450 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) IMO the boiled swill aka coffee, is never as good as the fresh coffe from cafe al bacio. Best to get your coffe or cappucino from al bacio and bring to Michaels. Edited December 7, 2015 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
