crazy-dog-lady Posted February 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hello cruisers! I've heard about special perks associated with having Celebrity Elite status. What are the perks only given to Elite members that first-timers (such as myself) aren't privy to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted February 27, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2009 As others will no doubt tell you as well, the only perk that is of any value to most of us, is the last one. Celebrity perks are nowhere near as good as Royal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allaboutsailingrc Posted February 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Celebrity Elite members are invited to "Elegant" Tea, Wine Tasting, back stage tours, Galley tours and even Bridge tours when available. All enjoyable. Happy cruising, friends.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruznjan Posted March 4, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Another Elite status perk is getting to tour the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hajekfam Posted March 4, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Another Elite status perk is getting to tour the bridge. That is not a standard Elite perk - it is at the captain's discretion and also depends on how many elite are onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelingmom37 Posted March 5, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Truth is, the upgraded status is useless in terms of deals and amenities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fblack Posted March 5, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The best perk for me is access to the Hostess. She picks who has dinner with the Captain. We have been asked 3 times on Celebrity to dine with the Captain and it's solely because we got to know her through the extra events offered to Elite members.
