Right exactly what I wrote. Nothing else. You can buy gifts from celebrity for what you mentioned.

Hi, Have not seen a new update so I figured I would share here. I recently took my entire family on a cruise .... once in a lifetime thing....cleaned my savings but it was worth it... The final bill was $20,000 BUT ...because of AARP I saved $2000 because I bought 40 $500 gift cards from AARP. My travel agent was so proud of me for thinking to do that. All he had to do was call the gift card number for Celebrity and submit the 40 codes. Took a few days to clear and he said he was gonna share this tip with his other customers. So the current GC situation for Celebrity is as of today... YES you can buy as many Gift Cards... AARP Limits 25 per person so I just bought 20 and my other half bought the other 20... Most people won't owe that much so on a regular cruise for 2 people you can easily cover the balance in Gift Cards and save the 10%. Simply Google AARP Gift Cards Celebrity and the AARP site comes up along with other sites that have the celebritygiftcertificateprogram at celebrity dot com email address and phone number for questions or redemption if you are working with Celebrity directly. This is ONLY for use on payments. NOT deposits or to pay once on the ship. This is for final payment before the cruise. Hope this helps...

That is crazy to hear... did you check Celebrity's website? I would go to the website. Also how close is your cruise? If close you can call direct and tell them what bar setup you want. We did the McCallan whiskey because its like 199 a bottle ... lol got two and will use as gifts. Here is from Celebrity Direct on their website. Exclusive services and amenities Complimentary bottled water, soda, and beer stocked daily Unlimited lunch and dinner in all specialty restaurants Two complimentary bottles of premium spirits VIP canapés Complimentary laundry service (twice per cruise) Priority luggage delivery Dont forget to order your complimentary monogrammed pajamas... order a size too big because they shrink. Also you get to keep the $45 frette slippers.. .we saved and used as gifts also LOL And if they have a robe in stock BUY IT ..its not expensive.and it too is FRETTE and super lux. They were out of stock... if they have them get 2 for me and I can venmo you LOL ask any other questions and i can answer.... IF JESS is your butler tell him Ken and Jeff said hello and that we want our robes!!! LOL Ask any questions because we had a great time.. and don't forget FREE gelato too at the gelato bar at al bacio.. OMG so good. and FREE lunches at any restaurant even sushi a la carte all FREE

Thanks for the tip.

We were $25 above the minimum!! Was a weak bid !

Per person I think I just bid $25 more than the $1500 minimum

Hi I got lucky and was upgraded from a Sky Suite to a Signature Suite on the Reflection. I had booked this a year ago so I already had all premium perks included...including tips! The website really only has the asterisk when it mentions the drink package and wifi.... so with that said.... Has anyone who had a successful move up bid to the Signature Suite... did you get the unlimited dining and the 2 bottles of liquor ? We did call the concierge number for the pre cruise retreat guests and they did send us the menus and premium spirits list...but wanted to make sure we are covered before we start booking restaurant. Thanks in advance.
