Cruise Gopher

Just cash out the OBC in the casino through a slot machine. Just make sure to bet at least like 10% of it on the machine before you cash out, otherwise you run the risk of them locking your seapass from any further casino room charges.

Currently on Apex and all the classic options are still available every night. I’ve had plenty of escargot, shrimp cocktail and French onion soup this week. 😋

Back with my big gulp last night!

On Apex now, and the pizza has been great!! Thanks for the hard work Apex staff!

I’m on the Apex now with premium package and it’s been Cattier. It’s not bad/not great.

I got the rare normal old style proper large size martini glass last night. I felt like I had hit the jackpot and I definitely paraded that around the grand plaza. I did hear a few comments “look, he has a big one!” 🤭

Currently on the Apex and friends have the classic package and are getting martinis no problem at the martini bar. Note however, the martini bar has switched to the small martini glasses so that is likely why they are allowing it now.

On Apex right now and these menus have been lackluster to say the least. Appetizers have been pretty good for the most part. Entree options seem very limited and very basic. No lamb spotted yet. No crème brûlée so far either.

Margaritas are great! But Martinis should not be served in glasses like these. But it served the purpose and avoided me having to immediately order another martini because the glass size was adequate.

Well I finally got my large martini….in this obnoxious margarita glass.

Currently on Apex and we have about 2,200 on board. Not crowded at all, which is fantastic.

Friend sent me this photo. They are currently on Liberty of the Seas and the ship had to rescue 17 Cuban refugees from this boat yesterday. Seems this is becoming a more frequent occurrence. What happens once they are rescued? Do they just put them on a plane back to Cuba once the ship returns to Florida?

Yep the small glasses are like 3 sips. I quickly got another. Just feels like such a lowered experience now.

No, all the martini glasses were laid out on the bar and they were all the small ones. Eden bar had the small martini glasses too. #costcutting

Currently on Apex at the Martini bar and have the premium package. All my martinis have been the small tiny martini glasses. Do they not have the larger/normal sized glasses on this ship? I am missing my large martinis like we had on the Millennium back in November.

I have had a cruise canceled due it being chartered out (a couple times) and they set up a special number to call for assistance. You could try one of these to see if you can get someone that has more info. For Individual Reservations: 1-888-281-9343 ext. 48846 For Consumer Outreach: 1-800-556-8209 ext. 18881

We were on Millennium over Thanksgiving week. Also sailed on her over Easter in 2022. It’s a great ship and the revolution upgrades are great, all new modern decor in the rooms. Public areas and bars are in great shape, crew was amazing everywhere on the ship. Food great, no complaints. We didn’t go to any of the shows so I can’t comment on those. Martini bar is our favorite and the bartenders there are fantastic.

It looks like a bunch of them were canceled in early 2025. Maybe a dry dock or something?

Adding another data point. Both my card and my authorized user’s card both had this offer, we both added the offer to our respective cards, and we both made $1k charges and we both got the points. Woo hoo!

You can purchase OBC. It posts as Celebrity Cruises. I did it earlier this week and already got Points awarded in my account. Works just fine.

If you are going to have a credit of $1,000 coming back to a credit card after the cruise, you don’t want it crediting back to the card which you used the Amex offer on. You risk the offer getting clawed back.

Quick question, on the Apex, let’s say I am dining in the Cosmopolitan dining room, but I want the signature entree or app from the Cyprus restaurant. Can I order those from the other dining room?

You can edit the credit card you want to use for your onboard account in the online check in in the app or on the website. I highly suggest you don’t use your Amex for the onboard account in this scenario. Use a visa or Mastercard or some other credit card.

The offers are limited in number for the number people that can add them. Ex. Let’s say Celebrity only offered these offers up to the first 10,000 people. So once 10,000 people add them then no more people can see the offer or add it anymore. People have reported that they saw this offer the first couple days it came out and they didn’t add it and now it’s gone. So unfortunately nothing you can do now, but in the future add the offers as soon as you see them.

Woo hoo!!! Congrats! Thank you for testing this out. I will call and add another $1,000 of OBC tomorrow. We got it on two of our cards on the same master account.
