Hello!
We are a Spanish couple planning an Alaska cruise on the Summit for 2024 summer. We have 7 cruises with Holland America Line, 1 with Princess and another with MSC (never again! 😅), but never with Celebrity. We have heard really good things about them, that's why we wanted to try them.
As usual suspects with Holland America, we know all the little tricks to enjoy them and to save some money. But one of the things we don't like about them is that they don't treat European and American customers the same way. For example, they don't give the same prices, offers or upgrades. Have you ever received anything like that being European with Celebrity?
I have found that Celebrity offers a bidding option for their cruises. How does it work? Do they also do it for Europeans? Is it just for customers booking directly with them or also through a Travel Agent?
About dining options. One of the thinghs we don't like about is the limited hours to have lunch or dinner. Being Spanish, we like having lunch and dinner later than Americans, so sometimes we are a bit upset when we try to have lunch after a tour at 15 or 16 o'clock and you don't find anything open except for burgers. Anything different?
I'm sure I will have loads of other questions, but, for now, it's more than enough. Best regards!
