hawkesbaynz Posted August 18, 2021 #1351 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I checked in online last night using my PC as I find it easier that using the App which I had loaded. However got to the last page after CC details (the health page I recollect) but there was no means to agree/click and complete the process. I found that the App on both our phones had uploaded all the information so I could easily click to the end. Thus I found having the App essential. It is a nuisance having to use a smart phone onboard. Likewise I like to lock mine away or I am constantly checking the news/Whatsapps or emails. I want to relax! Hate to think how I will manage with all this IT pallava in 20 years time (if I live). It is getting a lot more complex at 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted August 18, 2021 #1352 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Once I was on board the other week, my iPhone stayed in the safe. The only time it came out was for photographs. The Wifi on board is rubbish too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked for one, but it was taken away before I could take a photo of it. Apparently there are some premium drinks on it, as one of the perks for Elite and above. I was told this by Ingrid, the C.C host, last week. She also told us that the Classic drinks limit was $11! due to UK VAT being added. Also problems in the restaurants, as there are no dietary symbols on the menus on the App. Hello, I upgraded to 'Premium' and it included drinks up to and including $18 - there was no price or VAT surcharge. Here is the CC Elite bar menu. Regards, Cublet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is getting a lot more complex at 58 Well, I’m glad someone 20 years my junior feels the same as I do. I think CelebrityCruises spent lockdown changing everything they could to IT. Trouble is, not always effectively. We had the timing of one of our excursions changed x2. I had booked 08.30. Our first set of tickets were issued for 10.00. The following day, another set of tickets were issued for 14.15, with no explanation. I looked at My Calendar on the app, which showed the 10..00 timing and the excursion lasting 8.5 hours ( it should have been 4 hours). This meant that I had to go to Guest Relations, and ask them to sort it. If they want us to use the app, it needs to be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted August 19, 2021 #1359 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Did anyone on the U.K. staycations get a move up invitation? I have tried to access it via the web but it keeps saying “within 30 days of cruise” when we are well below that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be wonderful if we had good weather for it too, but it will be nice to have extra ports of call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already in Sky and I found this strange as there hasn’t been any availability Suites for a few months. It is normally 21 days ahead of cruise.

Minimum bid from Concierge for a Sky suite was £500pp. I didn't go for it as I always think the move may be in a worse position on the ship or under the pool/gym, which would be my worst nightmare.
