Luvcrusn Posted July 7, 2022 #5027 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) To @DolebludgerFirst, you didn't originate this thread, it was beguan by @cruisestitch in 2020. Second, you are confused. If you have completed a X cruise and signed up for Captains Club, regardless of cabin type, you have points which you should be able to see when you sign into the X site. If you sign in and don't see them, call Captains Club at 800-760-0654 with your sailing history and they will fix them or tell you where to look. Any points that have been added by completing PUP activities should be added to that total. Captains Club tier level benefits are listed on the X website. Only you can decide whether benefits offered by Capains Club levels are meaningful to you. They are something they don't have to offer, and are generally small niceties that are appreciated by many members. Here's a link to the X site page that shows the tiers and benefits. https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/9ca4feeb#/9ca4feeb/1 Edited July 7, 2022 by Luvcrusn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's closer to Mexico. 2. The city is nicer. 3. Port is super convenient to downtown SD and to the airport. Barely a 5 minute cab ride from Lindbergh Field. Plenty to do a short Uber ride (or long walk) from the port in downtown. I agree, we sailed on a Panama Canal cruise last fall that left from San Diego and it was great. It was nice just to walk across the street to board the ship. However the 5 minute Uber ride from the airport to the hotel cost me $40 with about a $20 minute wait.

I have a weird question that I couldn't find the answer to in the T&C for the promo. I'm currently "preview" as I've never sailed Celebrity before (have one scheduled in March). If I take at least 2 PU and they transfer as 2 points to the CC, does that mean I move from preview to classic? Or does that only happen after my cruise? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree, it's not exactly a calculus final exam. Anyone with an attention span longer than that of a goldfish, shouldn't have a problem with the quiz. It's not designed to be difficult. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not ridicule but another perspective perhaps you've not considered. This is neither a school test for grades nor a work production evaluation, but rather a marketing tool used by a cruise company to keep their customers interested in their product. They really don't care how you get the answers as long as you participate in the activities and show you still have interest in their cruise line. Their hope is that at some point, if they've maintained your interest you'll book another cruise with them. Those of us following this thread are interested in X cruises, so in that sense X has achieved their goal.

patty1955 Posted July 7, 2022 #5041 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Cheating is defined as act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage. What advantage is gained by copying the answers? We're not in a competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted July 7, 2022 #5042 Share Posted July 7, 2022 OK…I enjoy the quiz activities… Retired, presently limited mobility and sick of crossword puzzles!

mayleeman Posted July 7, 2022 #5044 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Of course, the always-unreliable X website encourages "cheating" by not connecting to the "lesson" properly. If this be cheating, I happily confess to cheating rather than trying for more than, say, 2 minutes to get to the material. I will also happily spend an extra hour sitting quietly on my balcony as punishment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are spoiling the quiz for those of us who want to take the quiz. I don’t mind much as I can manage to skip over the spoilers. I call it spoiling not cheating because if we get a wrong answer we can go back and change our answer so those who just copy the answers are not getting an advantage on me.

I just said that these "quizzes' are a time waster, so I appreciate it when people post the answers so I don't have to waste quite as much time on it. If others consider this cheating, they shouldn't be reading this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
