Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. And not everyone has large amounts of OBC! Just saying - it’s fun to mix up experiences. I have enjoyed most of my 58 cruises on 7 different cruise lines. Each one has pros and cons but overall quite enjoyable.
  2. And Deposits are always non- refundable for the lower price.
  3. Yes- Celebrity’s relentless cutback, up charge, increase prices campaign begun in January, 2023 has certainly soured my loyalty. Although not jumping ship completely - we have Princess and HAL booked! Cruised on the Enchanted and Discovery- loved them! Koningsdam coming up! Can’t wait to sail on the brand new- amazing Sun. Princess. By the way those cruise lines stil mainly offer REFUNDABLE deposits without the huge up charge. I just booked the Sun for 99.00 refundable and added the Plus package that still includes drinks, Wi-Fi and GRATUITIES!
  4. I was not unkind. I don’t know how you interpreted my asking for info as unkind. Happy Cruising to all!
  5. Check-in opened today for our April 22, 2024 cruise. First thing I, an early-riser, began the process. I successfully checked myself in. Then I tried to switch profiles to check in my husband. No access was available. I tried again on the App on his phone 3 times. Not possible to check him in. I called Celebrity - waited for the call back. After checking with the “powers” that be I was informed that my husband’s check in has not opened yet. It could be any time now - some not open til 30 days before the cruise. The agent had no answer for me when I questioned the inconvenience of having to check daily. on the App. The notification says check in begins on March 8, 2024. It doesn’t say for just “some guests.” It doesn’t say only one person from booking number will have access at a particular time. In 58 cruises on 7 different cruise lines this has never happened before. I realize my husband will just board at my boarding time no matter what time he receives. It’s just the absurdity of checking in separately on 2 different dates when we have the same booking number and are in the same stateroom.
  6. Yes, but parents must be with their toddlers.
  7. All who have not received points need to contact the Captain’s Club!!!
  8. My points are NOT showing anywhere, I called th Captain’s Club. They are sending an email. We immediately watched the Dec 20 webinar. Sure hope we get our points. We’ve never had a problem before! 🤞
  9. Koningsdam is a beautiful ship. With all the cutbacks, up-charges, increased pricing on Celebrity I’m booking Princess and HAl as an alternative to Celebrity that I have exclusively booked the past few years. Just off the Discovery Princess- Food varied and very good, service perfect, internet capable of streaming. Their Plus and Premier packages are ALL INCLUSIVE including drinks, specialty restaurants, gratuities, special desserts, a good room service menu at no extra charge, more with Premier!!!! And no refundable/non refundable price differential! in the next year I will be cruising on Celebrity, Princess and HAL. Variety is a good thing. Hope Celebrity stops bleeding their very loyal cruisers. I’ve cruised on 6 different cruise lines. I have enjoyed all of them. Happy Sailing!
