As Elite you will have Coupons that entitle you to things like 90 free minutes of Internet time. Some laundry and dry cleaning (1 item of dc) and other perks. You will also be able to attend the Elite Happy Hour. Best place to eat, other than MDR and Oceanview: Bistro on 5. Bets dining value on the ship! Don't miss the activities on the Lawn. Miss? I'd try everything. Only been on 1 Inaugural and nothing special. Enjoy your cruise and report back since you're one of the first. Ask to meet Arno. Arno and JoAnne are the most frequent Celebrity cruisers and always happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best places to eat ...without killing my on board account please(this is just a tide me over till Allure cruise) Take a deep breath.. ;) What time will you arrive in Amsterdam? We'll be arriving just after 8 am. There's a rollcall but it is almost dormant now because so many have already left for Amsterdam. Elite perks are wonderful including an evening social hour that begins at 5pm on the second day.. Most of your questions can be answered there.. Our favourite eatery is Tuscan.. the view alone is worth eating there, try bistro on 5 for a nice change of menu ($5).. others can be quite pricey if you like the alternatives too much..
