h & m Posted December 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We were surprised yesterday by a delivery of a bottle of wine, opening the package it was from Celebrity Cruises, saying they are missing us ! Also incuded a $100 voucher to order wines from Naked Wines, wondering in anyone else received this promotion ? Hilary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Nice gesture, haven't received anything as yet. As for the Naked wines voucher, I was an Angel for while plenty of nice wines that cannot be bought in major bottle shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeanswers Posted December 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The bottle is a nice touch but the Naked Wine voucher seems to be a stock standard voucher every loyalty program sends. I have so many of them it is becoming a joke 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenslander Posted December 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Yes - I received the wine too! A nice gesture from Celebrity! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliburn Posted December 10, 2020 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I’m not a wine drinker but I’m going to buy a couple hundred bucks worth of Ozzie wine for Christmas. Is that a local wine? I like Jacobs creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted December 10, 2020 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Are ;BUG Naked' and Capt Kate now vinters? 🍷 Naked wines, indeed.😕 I will stick with Dans thank you Jacobs Creek $7 by the half dozen. Don likes it, so do I. When I was at Dans the other week I suggested they do a sausage sizzle like Bunnings does, after all I present to Dans fortnightly for medications, but Bunnings once a year. Dan's Manager said, what a great idea, taking it up with regional manager. Edited December 10, 2020 by NSWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChucktownSteve Posted December 10, 2020 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2020 If anyone wants to send me tens of thousands of $$$, I'd be happy to send you a bottle of wine and a voucher where you have to spend more than the voucher. 😄 I'd be missing you too. Is it possible Celebrity marketing realized they stuck their foot in it when they took away Michael's Club/Retreat away from Zenith who are not in Suites and trying smooth it over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h & m Posted December 10, 2020 Author #11 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It was a nice gesture from Celebrity, yes we have spent a lot of money with them over the years and unsure if /when we will book again with current pricing, and how the changes will effect Elite Plus. We just sold our vineyard 2 years ago, and are well stocked up with Shiraz and Cab Sav, so I ordered 12 whites for the festive season, should be arriving today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one mate, yes a bit of a con this wine and voucher promo. Why dont they give every Celebrity pax a voucher for a bottle of vino on embarkation, leave in cabin. That would be more fair dinkum.

The vouchers only let you choose from certain packages and those packages seem to be the most expensive. Personally I didn't find the vouchers great value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjoon Posted December 11, 2020 #17 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) We have really missed our cruising this year. We managed a short one in January. I cried when we lost our April Solstice cruise. Cancelled 2 for next year but one bottle of wine makes us feel like we are a family. We will drink it when our daughter finally arrives back in Perth. I can’t wait until we are back onboard and hearing the wake waves. Edited December 11, 2020 by benjoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with Celebrity wine promo, at what level was the wine and vouchers given out? I am not au faix with the loyalty levels on Celebrity, only that there is the Michaels Club.

We are Elite and have not received anything as yet but then we have moved as well. Perhaps it is for Elite Plus and above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no great incentive to me increase levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
