pinkrosesdeb Posted August 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Tried several searches with different wording and still didn’t find an answer, We have only done 1 celebrity cruise and I can’t remember if they put a welcome amenity in Elite member rooms. I know prior to Covid Royal left a bottle of wine or beer etc for Diamond and above. Just wondering if this is still true and, if so, how do you choose? We are so excited to be boarding again!

Rare cruisestitch Posted August 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2022 On Celebrity there is no equivalent to the stateroom amenity choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted August 11, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I don't think Aqua is considered Elite, but don't they still give the cheap sparkling wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Aqua, you will be given a bottle of sparkling wine. If you don't care for sparkling wine, we have requested and received a bottle of red or white wine. (Actually, the sparkling wine tastes fine to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua and Concierge cabins get a bottle of sparkling wine. Elite get a small vase with a rose & a stem of some other flower about the 2nd or 3rd night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottle of whites have been from Spain or California and sold around here for about $15-20. I have the last bottle received here and it is Mer Soleil Chardonnay from California. I am not sure where the cabin steward got them. The Spanish wine was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer Soleil Chardonnay is my favorite white wine. It has oaky notes (butter, oak, vanilla). By the glass on Celebrity it is on the premium drink package.

davekathy Posted August 11, 2022 #17 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It would be nice if Celerity CC did something equivalent to RC CAS. It would also be nice if RC CAS did similar things that Celebrity's CC does for their top three tier levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtravel Posted August 17, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 17, 2022 They used to put the bottle of bubbly wine in your cabin on embarkation. Nice touch. Not anymore. Embarkation had no captains club welcome letter. After a few days, we asked our cabin steward about captains club amenities since we didn’t get any info. Cabin steward gave us the welcome letter and told us to let him know when we wanted the bubbly…red or white. Chose red. Terrible. As elite plus, we used to enjoy Captains club amenities. On our June cruise, we felt that Captains club was a forgotten afterthought. We had drink package. We missed the evening captains club event. Not being held because of Covid. No welcome Captains club reception. Again Covid. Meet & Greet is no longer held. Morning Captains club breakfast was poorly attended. Host never spoke with us except to ask to see our seapass before entering. Seems like being elite plus isn’t valuable. We did use the laundry. Service was very slow. We used Captains lib WiFi time because the All In WiFi was extremely slow or down. Next cruise is not on X. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of us is a big drinker but we loved the 4 drink/pp/per day voucher on our Sea Pass card. We never used all of them. Celebrity's unlimited (what a joke) drinks between 5-7 PM from their drink menu is a real downer. They spend $1billion on a ship but they can't give anything to the people who helped them reach that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO what sucks even more is the elimination of the CC HH (pre dinner drinks and snacks) in the Sky Lounge from 5 to 7. Glad RC still does the CAS HH (pre dinner drinks and snacks) in the DL from 5 to 8. Yes we now have to use our CAS drinks loaded on our SeaPass cards in the DL. No biggie as we are at the DL by 5:00 for a snack and a couple of drinks before heading down to the MDR NLT 5:45. Still leaves us with 3 drinks. Couple glasses of wine with dinner. Then grab an unopened bottle of water and an unopened can/bottle of beer to take back to the cabin for another time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be real downer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
