Connect HDMI device to TV on Celebrity Eclipse
AlbertaCruisers replied to italnsd's topic in Celebrity Cruises
On the Equinox there was a channel in the TV guide called HDMI and when selected it automatically changed to the right input and showed whatever you connected to the hdmi input. I take it there is nothing like that for you? -
Freedom 81 country roaming plan
AlbertaCruisers replied to Ex-Airbalancer's topic in Canadian Cruisers
I recently signed up for Freedom - the $34, 50GB, Can US plan. I paid for 1 month with both my old plan still active and this to test it to see how the service was, as it was bad a few years ago. I shut off data on my old plan and used the temp number with Freedom for a while. I’m in north Edmonton and work downtown and the service has been great, so I transferred over fully back in January. I was recently on the Celebrity Equinox and the plan worked great in the US (I just had to toggle data roaming on and off quickly and it found service quickly). I did a prepaid plan, as there is no difference in the plan (other can’t finance a phone) and no risk of overages. The great thing is with wifi calling on I was able to get texts and calls on the ship with no charge through ship wifi (we had premium wifi), which was great (I did have a number of texts and calls to try this out). I did the $30 5GB 81 country roam beyond pass as an add on, I added it after I left the US on the ship to make sure I used the included data first. It worked great at all the Caribbean islands we were at and on our turn around day in Fort Lauderdale on the back to back, the system automatically used data on my plan and not the add on. I will get the add on again for our cruise in Europe later this year. -
My Shark Flexstyle worked with no issue on both the constellation and Equinox. I now have the Dyson airwrap, we were just on the Equinox for 38 days and the dyson worked everyday except for 3. For some reason those 3 days (mid-cruise) it would not work when I was getting ready for supper and then did at around 10 at night - very weird.

Check in for back to back on Celebrity
AlbertaCruisers replied to getawayfromitall's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I always check in for all back to back cruises and include pictures and my credit card info and it has made the back to back process seamless. It is easy to do. -
Not Decoy, sorry. The Freemark Abbey is $110 a bottle and with the premium drink package we were getting a 20% discount, which equates to the 20% tips, so we paid $110 a bottle. There were some decent bottles they brought for us to try in the $80 to $90 range.

As a note, we are red wine drinkers and we have for a long time struggled to find anything we can drink on even the premium drink package and instead have been buying bottles, which feels like a waste when you pay for the premium drink package already, but we really enjoy good wine with dinner. We don't like Decoy or Conundrum (both of which are now $2 over the premium drink package price). I saw somewhere on a Celebrity drink menu the Freemark Abbey, which we like at $25 a glass. With paying the difference over the $17 premium limit it may be better than buying a bottle, if it is available anywhere by the glass.

Unable to check in for my cruise
AlbertaCruisers replied to Crazy planning mom's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I usually have the best luck with the App. If you are having issues, I suggest logging out, close the app, delete the app and then re-download and then re-sign in and see if that works (this is what I have had to do on an iPhone sometimes). Otherwise, if you can't check in it seems like a Celebrity issue. If you go on the website and select to manage your booking, does everything seem in order and $0 showing owing? -
The Instant Rewards Certificates that people have posted so far have an expiry date of approximately 30 days (maybe 30 days from issue) and it appears that the cruises you can book go out about 6 months. The one I saw was from the November 18, 2023 sailing of the Summit and the certificate had an expiry date of December 22, 2023. I don't think you can book an actual cruise on board, the most you can do is get the book later reservation with Future Cruise Vacations to use for potential extra benefits when you get home and call to book the certificate.

Anyone to contact at Blue Chip besides the general number?
AlbertaCruisers replied to dleahy4444's topic in Cruise Casinos
One of the menu items on that new website is a link that says something about not receiving my offers. I'm not sure if it will do anything, but it may be worth a shot. -

AlbertaCruisers replied to dleahy4444's topic in Cruise Casinos
I'm not aware of any other number. You could call the regular number and try asking to speak to a supervisor. As a note, I believe the offers are based mainly on your play on your last sailing, so if your play was lower on the last sailing, that may be the issue. They should be able to look up your last sailing and tell you the tier credits earned, if that sounds wrong to you, maybe that is the issue. -

AlbertaCruisers replied to dleahy4444's topic in Cruise Casinos
You can put you last name and Captains club number in the new site and see if you have offers. I don’t know if it is supposed to be out yet, but it works for me and shows all the offers I have received by email. I saw my most recent offers on it before I got the emails. http://www.bluechipcluboffers.com/ -
There is small print under the chart that says you only get access to the VIP Lounge if you are in a suite, which you get anyway in a suite, so it isn't really a perk at all.

If he logs into the website does it show up? If not add it there first. Then log out of the app, fully shut down the app (on iPhone you have to do the swipe up thing). Re-open the app and log back in. If he can’t add it at all to his account on the website he may have to call in to Celebrity for help.

Do you know how the deal with it if you have two premium plans on one account - will they switch it to a two device plan?
