I clicked the link to the webinar about 10 minutes early as directed. At the time it started I was on the phone trying to locate a lost package. Just when I put the phone down, I saw a box with typing in the bottom right corner disappear. Did I need to sign in, or was my link sufficient to identify myself as watching?

Did you not see it, Kay?  The box in the corner was about muting because the session was being recorded if I got it correct.

Nope, you didn't need to login as the link contained all the necessary information.

Yes, we watched the webinar. I was a little late giving it my full attention, but I do not think I missed anything from the comments here. I learned a lot about the changes in Ice Strait Point.  We have a May cruise booked for Alaska that stops at ISP. I expect it will be cancelled.

 

The red dot in the corner during seminar said it was being recorded. However, I did not think they could see or hear me. On ZOOM, I have to sign in with internet audio and video to be heard and seen.

 

What I saw may have been an announcement that the computer was updating, as it told me immediately after the webinar that it had successfully updated and needed to restart.

 

Thanks Thelma and Ken for the information!

If that was suppose to get me interested in Alaska......well, it didn't. 

 

Boring and not a good presentation for an organization the size of Celebrity.  I have to say that I really was not interested in pictures of LPP's vacation in Alaska, and if I had to rate it, I would give the entire presentation 2 stars.

 

Oh well, 5 points to add to the total  !

No sound issues on my side, but I’m probably so use to bad sound from all webex meetings I do  with work I don’t even notice it.  It’s not a recorded tv studio or set up in a studio with perfect sound equipment but I got the info, still want sun n beaches along with 80+ temps.  Maybe in a few years.  Info was interesting overall 

[C-Dragons]

Interesting presentation. Lots of good information for those considering a cruise to Alaska.

The bad news is that LLP dominated the early going and as usual didn't say anything of interest.  The good news is that her microphone was so bad that her voice was garbled and low in volume, so it was easy to ignore her.  The better news is that once she got out of the way this webinar really was worth watching – Icy Strait Point sounds like a very interesting port stop.  Now looking for a cruise that combines ISP and Glacier Bay!  [So good webinar for me, not so much for Celebrity...]

Love the positivity, C-Dragons!!  Many seem to want to pounce on LLP, for ANY reason they can.  As one who has to participate in 15+ Zoom meetings each week, many, myself included, have had technical issues, it is what it is.

[wrk2cruise]

4th one in a row where her audio has been horrible.   Someone in her organization should be able to fix the problem with a simple $30 headset or the bluetooth earbuds everyone wears on TV.  Yes I will pounce.  I also don't need to see 35 minutes of her family vacation.  The presentation ran 15 minutes over.

Still, it's quite a contrast to the terrific camera and mic work on Carol Cabezas, the President of the new independent Azamara.  If LLP is going to dominate every webinar the way she does, it is incumbent on her to make sure Celebrity IT fixes the problems on her end.  When the entire webinar was a technical disaster, it was one thing – but for every other part to be top notch and her mic to suck???

I believe if you log out before the end you don't get your points.

so thus no one scoop of gelato or a specialty 2.5 oz of coffee, makes total sense😏

At first I thought that the poor audio was on my end, but when the webinar switched to other speakers, I realized that it was only LLP's transmission that was garbled.  She sounded as if she were two feet under water.  Trying to understand her gave me a headache.  Where do I complain?

My laptop ran out of battery part way through the webinar and dropped out.  I got back in and watched the rest.  I wonder whether I'll get my points.  I will really be annoyed if I don't,  given the painful experience of trying to understand LLP.

Many thx for this davekathy!

The two previous LLP zooms made me realize that I wouldn't go through that again for just a handful of Club points.  Too painful.

 

But I did book an Alaskan cruise this month...on another cruise line.  I'm paying $671pp/pd for a 449SF Penthouse cabin with butler, air fare, all specialty restaurants, a 5 star hotel night pre cruise, all transfers, premium liquor set up in cabin, all excursions and everything else all inclusive; not "always included."  I can order lobster tail, Alaskan king crab clusters, scallops or USDA prime steak every night if I like in the main dining restaurant. 

 

Comparing Celebrity's price for the same month to Alaska on Eclipse in an S1 308SF cabin without air, etc, etc.... is  $647pp/pd.  Both rates are refundable.

 

Oh my TA is additionally giving me $600 OBC and $1,500 cash rebate which lowers my pp/pd cost even more. I'm glad Celebrity raised their rates which made me open my eyes to a real luxury cruise line.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new owners at Azamara will do now that it won't be under the RCG fare raising/cost cutting dictate.

I have signed up twice for this program and not had any notices in the past 8 months. The only prompt I see on the Celebrity Power Up site is Sign Up For Emails. I Am I missing something ? or is it extremely targeted.

[hvbaskey]

For those who tuned into the ALASKA Webinar - this is the beautiful whale that my camera captured the first identifiable photos of and I was able to name her “HOONAH” (People of the North Wind).

For the 75% (staggering number) of Captain’s Club members who have not visited ALASKA, it’s a dream trip!   I rank it right up there with our cruises to New Zealand and South America.

Kind regards, “Heather"

I have noticed that my PUP emails often come into my in-box with time stamps that are significantly earlier than when they actually arrive.  This causes them to locate way up the page from where current emails show.  Since I'm looking at the bottom of the page for new emails, it's easy to miss the ones from Celebrity PUP.   Maybe that has happened to yours too.

Their IT fix something! They have been unable to fix their website for years. I have been unable to sign in for 3-4 weeks and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Try signing in using an InPrivate or Incognito window.  It works perfectly.  That's the only way I access the X website!

Actually, the statement was that 75% of Captain’s Club members have not visited Alaska on Celebrity. We have made the trip, but it was on a different line. Can't imagine we're the only CC members who have done so.

Thank you for the correction of my poor statement.   In my thoughts / head I meant Celebrity when I mentioned Captain’s Club members ☺️

Quite so. We've visited Alaska, but not on Celebrity as yet.
