cublet Posted September 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Hello, I think we were all so consumed by cookiegate that we may not have noticed a new schedule of CC Benefits. https://www.celebritycruises.com/content/dam/celebrity/pdf/Captain-Clubs-Benefits-Brochure-V8-8-30-23.pdf Though the document is not dated, the file name suggests it is 30th August 2023. Nothing on the grid has jumped out and slapped me around the face but reading the full T&Cs and footnotes may hide something sinister. Regards, Cublet PS: A new Royal Crown and Anchor benefits schedule has been posted for cruises departing on or after 1st September 2023 too.

Tudy Posted September 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2023 What I noticed is that the Elite+ discount on drink package upgrade and specialty restaurant cover charge dropped from 20% to 15%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been changed but not from this new version (Aug 30, 2023 Version 8). The older version (Mar 24 2023 Ver 7) already had that. Celebrity's website still has the old version posted: link After comparing the two versions side by side, I have not found any differences yet.

Wow! I know it was 20% in February. Guess I didn't notice on my summer cruises because I upgraded my package on onboard and didn't purchase an specialty restaurants after March.

The drink package upgrade has been 15% for as long as I can remember, Rarely used spect dining discount so that may have changed. Just checked a older screenshot I have and dining was 15% so no change to either. Edited September 2, 2023 by jelayne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference seems to be updating for the name change of Sunset to Horizon suites on Silhouette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fly and Sail Posted September 3, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Update: The CC will be discontinued as per 1/1/2024 based on customer demand. These surveys work wonders! Regards, Laura 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HskrCrsr Posted September 3, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 3, 2023 They updated the exclusions for the CC Cocktail Hour by adding Craft Social and removing theater: Unlimited drinks available from 5–7 PM daily in most bars and lounges (excluding World Class Bar, Craft Social, restaurants, and Magic Carpet. Excluding embarkation day) It was Unlimited drinks available from 5 –7 PM daily in most bars and lounges (excluding World Class Bar, Magic Carpet, theater, restaurants, and embarkation day).

Note embarkation day is still excluded. Craft Social is just the new name for Cellar Masters on revitalised ships which was also excluded. Assume they added "theater" as there is now a small bar outside (faces on to Celebrity Central) on revitalised ships foSilhouette Silhouette.

I heard from an Employee recently that the Captains club and Rcl's program are looking to merge.....Something else to look forward to. Such progress.......

TeeRick Posted September 3, 2023 #20 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Interesting thread. Post a recent table of CC benefits with just an updated date. People here play Where's Waldo looking for some type of takeaways. Has it really come to this on Celebrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind that at all because this would make me Diamond Plus with C&A rather than just Diamond. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayehall Posted September 3, 2023 #23 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Question I have always wondered. Example, my status offers 10% off drink package if purchased pre cruise. How do they apply that if you paid for the bundle when booking your cruise? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you're saying you have a drink package as part of your Always Included cruise fare, you won't be able to take advantage of the 10% discount from Captains Club.

Thanks They don't The discount only applies to individual purchases not AI bundles which is why it's essential to do the maths (sorry math). However you cut it AI is never a good deal for us. We pre pay tips to avoid any increase. 240 minutes free premium WiFi as Elite+ is all we need. We don't drink alcohol and all our premium teas/coffee/chocolate are free. Enough free water during Happy Hour to last until the next day. No right or wrong just works for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
