patty1955 Posted August 29, 2021 #3251 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I'm having trouble adjusting to a different mind-set with Elite+. I keep wanting to check for ways to earn more points but I know we'll never make Zenith so there probably isn't any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Celebrity has been handing out points, I was able to make it to Elite in just 3 cruises. Doesn’t seem fair to the people who had to work hard and sail many nights for it, but I do/will appreciate the benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't worry. Since Celebrity started substantially raising their rates, I've found the more premium and luxury lines a better value with the narrowed price gap vs. what is included.

See https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/tiers-and-benefits Scroll down below the benefits stuff until you see the Power Up Points section and enroll. If you have already done both, then it's the hit-and-miss situation that Charles4515 mentioned, and you should call. Yes I did both. Oh well.I've never been on a cruise before and have my 1st one booked for August 22nd. Just thought there might be discounts going forward by getting to classic level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the fun of collecting but don't get over excited, one or two bags of laundry, The Elite breakfast (we love it but on most cruises very few have it) and priority tendering are about the only ones left. Most of the other " benefits" are small discounts that can often be matched or bettered when you are on the ship. AI has taken away, free drinks every afternoon, free coffees and drinks with breakfast and free Internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't hazard a guess about the retroactive application of the promo, but a call to the Club would probably do so. Check the current prices, if the same or less then if they say no cancel and rebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted September 9, 2021 #3260 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Got an email today for a new Power Up survey. This one is easy (no right answers, just about your preferences). Even though I was honest 😈 it accepted my answers and says I'll get 10 PUP = 1 CC point. [Don't know how to share the email without my CC number. Hopefully someone else can do this!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreams_of_travel Posted September 9, 2021 #3261 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I got the same email, but I cannot click through on the link as it gives me an error message. Hope it straightens out at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeaBag Posted September 9, 2021 #3270 Share Posted September 9, 2021 it never occurred to me to put anything but cruise lines either. Darn, I could have put Haagen Daz! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiztime Posted September 9, 2021 #3271 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It was fun to think about our first Celebrity cruise! I was awarded it by my Canadian financial institution. The entire ship was filled with my coworkers. It was an awesome experience! We have sailed Celebrity many times since (including another award sailing). Even for 1 point, this Power Up made me smile! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted September 9, 2021 #3272 Share Posted September 9, 2021 True the better question would have included cruise line. So bravo to those who answered in the alternative. However I assumed (you understand the derivation of that word) they meant cruise lines. So I answered Azamara, Regent, Oceania and then Celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkroad Posted September 9, 2021 #3274 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Have only sailed Celebrity, so that was first. The rest were the first brands that came to mind, Suburu, Prana, Caymus, and Brooks. I just made final payment on our Celebrity cruise. I’m wearing my favorite Prana shorts and Brooks trainers, and I drove my Suburu earlier today to replenish our wine and beer supply😜 Cheers everyone🍷 Edited September 10, 2021 by Silkroad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
