marilla chris Posted December 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2017 We are diamond members with Royal caribbean and there is a diamond lounge on every ship for breakfast and free drinks in the evening. We would be elite members if we went on a Celebrity ship- do they also have a similar set up for free drinks in the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted December 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2017 There is not a dedicated lounge. The continental breakfast is held in one of the specialty restaurants. The coktail hour (actually 5-7 pm) usually is held in the Sky Observation Lounge. This space goes by different names on different ships. Its the bar/dance area all the way forward above the spa area.

wrk2cruise Posted December 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It's not automatic. You have to call captains club and get numbers assigned before you sail. They take your C&A number and issue a Captains Club number. Only takes a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get to your cabin, the Welcome paperwork will have schedules for Elite events including evening cocktails and continental breakfasts. If the card isn’t labeled and or you don’t get the Welcome, just check with the Captains Club rep at guest relations.

Alakegirl Posted December 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Actually, before you board, check your xpress pass paperwork to see if it shows Elite. That will help you get into the correct line at check-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted December 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The cocktail event is not available on the first night of your cruise nor on the night of the senior officers' party. Not nearly as good as RCI's event. But we thought the appetizers were better. And I like that they are carried around by waiters. so nobody was pawing over them.

BridgeMates Posted December 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just curious. Not familiar with Celebrity seapass cards......what do the different colors indicate? Recent cruise we had blue cards and our status was shown in the upper right corner. Saw gold cards, green I think, maybe a couple others.

Suites are gray, regular cabins navy, aqua class aqua and not sure if gold is Concierge class. Remember to enroll in the program as you also get so good perks.

MEcruzr Posted December 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I once asked why suite cards were silver... and was told they were platinum, not silver. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted December 23, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 23, 2017 My last cards were clearly medium grey. That was in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted December 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 24, 2017 We had gold cards for concierge last week. Funny, because I am used to gold cards for Pinnacle on RCI. Will be doing more X cruises in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFCAcruiser Posted December 24, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 24, 2017 As is true with many topics here on CC, the color of Seapass cards has been discussed extensively. Here is a 5 page thread from June 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be elite members if we went on a Celebrity ship- do they also have a similar set up for free drinks in the evening? As you are aware of RC loads 3 drinks on your Seapass card for each evening to enjoy in the lounges/bars as well as in the DL for 3.5 hours Celebrity doesn't do that. Celebrity's Elite and above social is for two hours (5 to 7) and is held in a specified lounge for that ship and sailing. We enjoy both Celebrity's and RC nightly event.

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 24, 2017 #17 Share Posted December 24, 2017 " is held in a specified lounge for that ship and sailing. " unless there are too many Elite/Elite+/Zeniths aboard to fit comfortably into that lounge, then they issue 3 drink vouchers per person per night to be used in various bars around the ship.

cementhands Posted December 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I prefer the Elite level benefits on Celebrity. My wife loves RCL. So we go back and forth. The Elite lounge has excellent appetizers and drinks. Usually in a nice lounge with a view. Sky lounge on recent cruise. The waiters bring the appetizer to you. Very well presented. Breakfast Elite area usually has a great view. Healthy breakfast. Very relaxing. The 2 bags of laundry sends me home with clean clothes. Dry clean one item and pressing 2 others is wonderful. RCL has better activities for my wife. Zumba class was every sea day. Great class and well attended. Both are excellent cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
