We upgraded to take advantage of those drops and now are in a Sky Suite.:D

Nice one. I'm sure you'll love it. Those Century SS are a bargain!

Yes, sometimes it is the only way to take advantage of drops after final payment.:D

For the few hundred or so you likely paid, the extra benefits are well worth it.

 

You may find it hard to go back ;-)

See if you can get a Century Suite or above so that you get Michaels Club privileges. That is well worth the extra.

Sky suites don't get Michael's Club access.

[MicCanberra]

Sky suites don't get Michael's Club access.

 

I don't even know if the Century has a Michael's club or if there is one whether access is restricted or not.

when the Diamond & Golden Princess comes here in late 2015-16 season the currency is supposed to be AUD and the tips included in the fare

 

This basically translates to "we're putting the prices up and heavily increasing the cost of drinks on board during the transition from US to AUD" while disguising it as doing everyone a favour by making it convenient being in AUD :rolleyes: :p

You may be right, but it is also a good way to ensure that the staff don't get stiffed on the tips.:D

There is, and access is restricted.

Someone's got to pay for the extra admin of converting prices. :p

Restricted to who? Staff :eek:

Isn't it to some loyalty level or suites? Not sure, only been on Celebrity once.

I am in a Sky Suite but Big M stated, they do not have access. If Sky and Century suites do not get in, who uses it.

[The_Big_M]

Only Penthouse, Royal and Century suite guests.

 

And the staff that work there ;-)

Sky suites are better than the Century suites though.:confused:

Yes... but there are more of them too. Too many for that lounge to accommodate.

 

Enjoy your sky suite. I think you said you're getting the drinks package, so you're not really missing out on much.

Yes, we have the package and there are other perks that come with the suite like priority boarding and such, if we want to avail ourselves of that. We will most likely be boarding after lunch anyway, as we will be having a farewell party with family onshore at the Ship Inn.:D

Found this on the Ships page.

Michael's Club

 

A premium, private lounge for those in Reflection, Penthouse, Signature, Royal, and Celebrity Suites, as well as for Captain’s Club Zenith members. This luxurious club features a large-screen TV, reading areas stocked with magazines, newspapers, and books, plus a premium continental breakfast. Complimentary drinks are available throughout the day and canapés are served with evening cocktails. Michael’s Club is available 24 hours a day with selected service hours from the Michael’s Club Concierge.

 

Will report back as to if we had access or not.:D

[The_Big_M]

Celebrity suites are not Century suites. :D

 

They're above a sky suite on ships that have them, but there aren't any onboard the Century.

 

As you see, no access to Sky suites.

No worries, wasn't expecting that anyway. It appears there is no access for Century suites either then.
