We are sailing Azamara in October and joined their loyalty club with a status match. I noticed my points had reduced when I did this. Must have triggered something? I haven't done anything else. My next Celebrity cruise is over a year away. My husband also joined the Azamara club, and his balance is unchanged. I didn’t even have to sign up for Azamara’s loyalty club - I was automatically awarded the points I’ve accrued from X’s club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have earned 40 Captains Club points via the PUP quizzes. Certainly got us well on our way to Elite+, which we reached yesterday , after our points from our recent cruise were added. I did have to claim the ‘Go Green’ points though. I must remember to keep an eye out for those extra ‘Go Green’ points after our upcoming on Edge.

Even though my next cruise will definitely bring us to Plus, without the extra points for Go Green, I've signed us up based on Celebrity's philosophy in offering this program. PS- Hope that somehow there will be PUPs totaling 18 points before we board the Silhouette! Edited August 20, 2022 by TMLAalum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dlh015 Posted August 20, 2022 #5308 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Apologies if this has been asked before (I'm somewhat sure it has...😆). Approximately how long after answer submission does it show up in your account?? TIA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it makes a difference as to what day you actually do the quiz. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted August 20, 2022 #5310 Share Posted August 20, 2022 About 3 weeks after, no big deal. This months was enjoyable; don't mind doing a bit of reading before the 'quiz'. Just wish it was for 2 points like last month. Take 'em when you can get them. Good marketing program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a separate sign up, and the loyalty numbers are the same. [No one knows what will happen when the Azamara IT split occurs – will they want to keep the Celebrity loyalty numbers, or issue new Azamara ones?] They have announced that you must sail on Azamara at least once before the IT split or your past Celebrity history will go poof – but luckily for many, the cut-over date keeps receding into the horizon. Latest announcement I saw was Q1 2023, but a recent interview laid out a much longer timeline for full IT independence – don't know where the loyalty split fits within that timeline... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT splits or changing is difficult.That is why Royal/Celebrity and many airlines keep patching their legacy software. So since I cruised on Azamara one time, in 2007, my Celebrity history will count if even if they split their IT? That would be great. I am likely to book Azamara again.

Those at risk are assumed to be those with Celebrity history, no Azamara history, but an Azamara booking that doesn't sail until after the split. The longer the split gets postponed, the better for those people.

They said September to March is when to visit for the Aurora. Of course more darkness equals a better chance, but there was a small chance forecasted overnight, so I figured it was worth a shot. We definitely want to come back for longer in the future, and will do so when the chances are better. Four days last time and nine this time were nowhere near enough time in this awesome place. The captain announced last night that we had auroras on Friday night, and there was another chance last night after 1am. I set an alarm, got up, and saw nothing. I was tired enough to need to get back into bed after 20 minutes or so, but left the drapes open. I drifted in and out of sleep for the next few hours, but never saw anything that made me think I should get back up. The one night I forgot to check my Aurora app, they happened, and I missed them. 🤦♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are hooked! We have had small ship cruises on Windstar, Azamara, and Viking in the last nine months, and we are finding that we are preferring the smaller ships for our he same variety of reasons many others do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was SO cool to hear our shipmates literally cheering from their balconies and up on deck as the lights danced in the sky!! The Captain posted cool pix on his Instagram, too. The forecast is good for Auroras overnight, but it’s MUCH cloudier than it was last night. I’ll set an alarm, anyway, just in case. Tomorrow is a scenic cruising day, plus we will gain an hour. so it’s not a big deal losing some sleep. And, to keep it on topic, I would totally trade seeing Auroras in person for PUPs. But I actually earned CC points whilst viewing the Auroras. I am very fortunate, indeed. Note: these are cellphone photos. I’m sure there are far better ones out there from folks with real cameras. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
