rucruisn2 Posted October 9, 2005 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2005 We upgraded our cabin to the CC for not much money, found out because of the senior discount it wasn't bad. But now I'm reading posts from seasoned cruisers sounding like it was a waste. Cabin stewards didn't know what amenities to give you, etc. Also Zenith has no balconies. So, I'm asking anyone who has been in a CC on Zenith, is it a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterbaker Posted October 9, 2005 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2005 The spotty CC service is where X really drops the ball. The stewards for CC rooms should be aware and provide all the CC amenities without being asked. It really shows that some stewards are better than others. We recently returned from the Infinity (9/3 cruise to Alaska) and traveled in an inside cabin on deck 9. Our steward also took care of the CC cabins across the hall. He provided them with everything they were supposed to have and also to us as well. The only ammenity we did not get was the Hansgrohe shower head, something that was probably out of his control. We are select members and that may have had something to do with it, but i'm not sure. We did thank him right away when we realised what he had done, and every day when we would find new goodies in our room. He got an extra large tip at the end and I mentioned how we thought his service was excellent (I didn't go into the details so as not to get him in trouble for giving us something we should not have received) on our cruise review that we turned into guest relations onboard. I would love to have him for a steward again. The kind of service he provided is what every CC cabin should be receiving on every X ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libracruzer Posted October 9, 2005 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi All: Just returned from a short cruise on the Infinity -four day- out of San Diego. We had the CC and that it was very nice. Our cabin steward was very adept. That said, I would not pay more than $100 per person for the CC, and maybe not even that. As we are Elite/Diamond members, the most important things to me about the CC are overlapping. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen As the OP's post related specifically to the Summit, let's not forget that CC cabins on M-Class ships like the Summit (and Infinity) are the old Category 1 cabins, and so when you pay for CC, you're getting a larger cabin as well. I don't know your history with Celebrity, but you may not have been aware of this when you booked your cabin. While its true that for C-Class ships (Century, Galaxy, Mercury), the extra amenities of the CC ticket are the only consideration since the cabins are the same size, for the M-Class ships, the larger size of CC cabins counts for something in the $/value equation for many people, especially on longer itineraries.

Susan-M Posted October 9, 2005 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2005 We really enjoyed the CC cabin on Millennium...not sure how much more it cost because it was all that was available in a balcony cabin when we booked 8 months prior to sailing. The little luxuries were wonderful, not to mention the slightly larger cabin space. We did have to ask for a few items, but our room attendant always brought the items as soon as we asked . We didn't use the shoe shine service, or see any breath mints, and the 5 p.m. canapes stopped coming half way through the trip when we stayed late in port 3 days in a row, but thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the amenities. If binoculars are important (and they are in the Med) I would recommend bringing your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfredsblondecruiser Posted October 9, 2005 #12 Share Posted October 9, 2005 This is the first time I will have Concierge Class so I was looking forward to it very much. Thank you for the sugestion of the list of items for Concierge Class. This will be my 2nd time sailing with Celebrity and we had an excelent steward the last time so I hope we get him again but it is doubtful. I was most impressed with celebrity. Happy Sailing, Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashdog_1 Posted October 18, 2005 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2005 The signs at the pier check in say only Suites and Elite Captain's Club, nothing for Concierge Class. Do we just get in the regular lines? What's priority about it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.Last December, it didn't matter since I was #3 in the door and I didn't think to look, but when we checked in at San Juan in April, there was a separate line. Where were you? Wonder if they don't set it up at all ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashdog_1 Posted October 18, 2005 #15 Share Posted October 18, 2005 We were at Ft Lauderdale in 04 and Seward, Alaska in July this year. I've read where someone in a suite saw a long line for suites and got in one of the many "regular" lines since they were shorter. Time is of the essence on a two day trip. Plane lands at 11 in Ft Lauderdale, a short ride to the pier. Just want to know what to look for since I've not seen a sign that said Concierge Class. thanks.

CrabbyHarper Posted October 28, 2005 #16 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I have been researching a European cruise for 2006 on the Galaxy. There are no balcony cabins available unless they are concierge class. What's up with this? For the 11 night cruise, the price differential between an outside cabin and a concierge class cabin is about $1000 each passenger. That's too much for this gal! We just got back from 14 days on the Summit, and had concierge class at a reasonable price: 14 days, with air was about $3000 each. The concierge cabins are a bit larger on the Millenium class ships, but even so, I was underwhelmed about the so-called amenities in concierge class. $100 each would be worth it, $1000 each is not IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
