I get what you are saying as there is already a thread about PUP. But it would be nice if someone could advise the poster rather than wading through over 200 pages and possibly not finding the info. Good luck.

I am in the UK, and the information I quoted earlier in this thread was directly from the Celebrity UK website. There seems to be two reasons that the OP is entitled to a full refund, explained in the links below. Both links are from UK website. Whether the rules are different on the US website, I do not know.

When did you book this cruise? If prior to 31st March 2022 you will be covered by the Cruise with Confidence policy. This should cover you even if booked through an agent. Flexible Cancellations & Best Price Guarantee | Celebrity Cruises

Wow! I wish they offered that for cruises from Southampton. That would suit me fine. Of course there are many more leaving from Florida. 😀😎

What is a Resident rate? Never heard of that one!

It was actually my sister. We were on Silhouette where the cabins open into an inner vestibule area with the two rooms open from there.

No reason why not. I did this on two cruises last summer when a similar offer was available. It was brilliant 😀

I have been comparing other cruise lines as I think Celebrity are pricing me out after being a loyal cruiser for years. I note that Princess are offering their Princess Plus package (Beverage package, WiFi and Gratuities) for £40 a day, and only £30 a day if booked by 31st May. That seems a bargain when you consider that the new price for a Classic Bev Package with Celebrity has increased to £66 per day. Celebrity has always been my cruise line of choice, but after my October cruise on Silhouette I may need to start looking elsewhere if their prices keep rising.

Sorry, off topic (Premium drinks) but just to say I had the same experience on Reflection beginning of this month. Even with a long wait for food, it was difficult to get served drinks on many occasions. As for the MDR menu the choices were awful. Many nights I struggled to find anything I wanted as such strange things were put together. As I have never had such a problem before I assume the menu is created by the chef? I hope the chef on my Silhouette cruise in October will produce a more appetising choice of food for the MDR.

I noticed all the usual items I remembered from previous cruises were not for sale on board Reflection this month, toiletries etc. I mentioned it to a member of staff in the shop and they said it is now in Duty Free!! But when he led us there he needed to open a cupboard and that is where things were, not on display. Not sure what else was in that cupboard, but I saw tooothpaste, sweets etc. So maybe some basic meds? Indigestion etc. I wish I had taken more notice now.

I was on Reflection 2nd May sailing. All the Captain's Club information was in the cabin on arrival. This may seem a silly question, but as you are newly Elite, just check your Key Card to see that it is noted for you. I found the Captain's Club Hosts were very on the ball and kept us updated with any events we could attend, including a visit to the Heli-pad for an arrival and a sail-away. We had numerous messages left on the stateroom phone to remind us too. We had lovely breakfasts in Tuscan Grill, and a couple of cocktail parties too. Didn't bother with the laundry as I had overpacked, as usual. Try to find the Captain's Club Hostess and enjoy the benefits as they are gradually dwindling away. Have fun 😎🍸😀

I usually spend quite a while choosing between several possible itineraries before booking a cruise, so like I said I like to see it in black and white, rather than refer back to my notes made from a phone call. Especially as I know that Celebrity themselves do not always get it right first time. If I was just looking at one cruise I think a phone call would not be so bad. My cruise last week, and my upcoming one, were both booked before AI, after being lifted and shifted a few times. I had the Classic Bev package and found I managed okay with just the Elite 90 minutes WiFi, so know I do not necessarily need that. Just the gratuities to add on.

I think Celebrity would do better with this 'Promotion' if they actually show the fares on the website, rather than the requirement to telephone. I would like to see the prices in black and white to enable me to calculate how each itinerary would work for me when I add any extras I want, if any.
