More details should be forthcoming, we hope Reading the fine print from post #5, I suspect Facebook will play a part at some point; it's just not a part of this first "activity." General Terms: *Power Up Points can be earned for various non-sailing activities such as sharing your preferences, participating in social media activities and making bookings. Opportunities to earn Power Up Points will be emailed to eligible members or posted on www.celebritycruises.com by Celebrity Cruises. My guess is they reeeeally need to know what we'd be willing to book and put a deposit on. They have to have bookings to back the loans they've already gotten and the ones they'll still need. I'm guessing the banks will want to see "new" bookings, not necessarily FCCs. Heck, the banks will probably want the survey results. Might even be the reason for the program. Just a hunch, however. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upwarduk Posted June 11, 2020 #54 Share Posted June 11, 2020 10 hours ago, hvbaskey said: I agree. The first survey was polling you for when you would be likely to cruise again and what ports excite you. Could be valuable info gathering to see how the general membership is feeling. I have had a similar survey from Azamara, but it didn’t offer any Captains Club points for completion. I took part in a ‘30th Birthday Quiz’ last night, which will give 30 Captains Club points to a winner drawn at random. I did get all answers correct, but haven’t yet been informed if I was successful in achieving the 30 extra CC points. This was only for Celebrity UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted June 11, 2020 Author #56 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Terms and Conditions mention sharing preferences, participating in social media and making bookings. I also hope that Facebook isn’t needed since I’m not a Facebook person. I will be hoping for an Azamara survey next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each segment (surveys, social media, and new bookings) are a matter of individual personal choice. I may participate in the surveys and social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter); but might not make a new booking. The variety of choices allows the opportunity for everyone to participate based on what they feel comfortable doing.

gold1953 Posted June 11, 2020 #58 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Interesting that when I filled it out yesterday is was for 10,000 and 1 cc point. How did I miss out on 2 CC points?/ the one is good as I was at 579. Maybe it will get me to elite plus one cruise sooner. At the rate we are now cruising this may take a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted June 11, 2020 Author #61 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Gold1953, something doesn’t add up. It’s 10 power up = 1 Captain’s Club. are you sure it said 10,000 power ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise kitty Posted June 11, 2020 #63 Share Posted June 11, 2020 received my link, & completed :) Love the chance to earn a few points for all our cancelled cruises.... As this begins our 4th month on lockdown it doesn't take much to excite me nowadays.... it also doesn't take much to send me into a pit of despair either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 11, 2020 #64 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I don't understand why both spouses are signing in to take the survey. Aren't points for one spouse equal for both spouses, as well as all minor children living in the same household? That's how C&A works on RCI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covepointcruiser Posted June 11, 2020 #67 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Each person with a Captain Club number can complete the survey. If you are a spouse and are not a member of the club you don’t receive points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW and I have always cruised together and earned the same points, so we really haven't paid much attention to this aspect of Captains Club. In the case of one partner having accrued more points than the other, what would happen in the case of a divorce or death? If one partner acquires enough points to move to the next level, does the partner with fewer cruise days get promoted too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted June 11, 2020 #69 Share Posted June 11, 2020 We are happy with the E plus benefits...we have no hope of hitting Zenith..esp now with only 1 booked cruise..we are on pause! These days, it seems that suite status trumps loyalty benefits anyhow. But a fun marketing game for those who enjoy it..hope IT mishaps do not turn folks off!

One spouse can be the same tier level with less cruise points or no cruise points. A spouse will not inherit the other spouses cruise points but maintains the same tier level.You can be elite and your spouse who has never cruised with Celebrity will also be elite.

So if I understand you correctly, the point made by @39august is right on the money, there's no benefit having both spouses going for Power Up points. Unless, of course, they each want to express their differing views on preferred itineraries or ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's saying you have to complete all the answers it's because you have to select a ranking for each destination, not just the ones you would be interested in. I put no interest in 90% and the actual level of interest in the 2 or 3 areas I'd be willing to travel to in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
