TickledBlue Posted July 30, 2015 #26 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I just set up our account on the Celebrity website and it automatically gave us "Select" status because we've sailed on Royal Caribbean a couple of times. Didn't have to call or anything. :D No discounts or anything on the b2b we're going to be taking next year but maybe something will show up later. This was my experience also, very smooth. It was great getting Select status on our first Celebrity cruise in Barcelona where the check in line was 100 ft out of the door on a hot/humid day, but the Select+ priority check in line had no wait at all.

We'll be sailing out of Barcelona - nice to hear. Although our date will be mid-October so I imagine it won't be too hotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Did your online Captain's Club profile show you were Select before your first Celebrity cruise? I called and gave Celebrity my C&A number which should make me Select under Celebrity, but I am still listed online as Preview status.

It should show your status as Select if they did the linking of your accounts. To be clear, to have Select on X, you have to be Platinum on RCL.

SeeJennyCruise Posted July 31, 2015 #32 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Okay, thank you. I should have asked about Classic status on Celebrity. I guess that should apoear online if they linked the accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat&Paul Posted July 31, 2015 #33 Share Posted July 31, 2015 No discounts or anything on the b2b we're going to be taking next year but maybe something will show up later. Sparky, You have to call the Captain's Club to get your category upgrade (or have your TA call them). The benefit is that you get the higher cabin inside to inside, OV to OV, and so on. For example on our upcoming cruise we are sailing in a Cat 9 inside but paid the Cat 10 price. The perk doesn't allow you to pay for a Cat 9 (Inside) and sail in a Cat 8 (OV). And you can't pay for a Cat 4 (OV) and sail in a Cat 2C (Veranda). Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat As one of my former co-workers used to say, "Sounds like a plan". I'll have to call tomorrow and check on that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rain_bowbrite Posted March 21, 2017 #35 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I'm going on my first Celebrity cruise later this year and have been on one 7-night RCL cruise (Gold status). I called the Captian's Club today to see about adding my Crown and Anchor # to my Celebrity res and was told that the ability to take advantage of RCL status on Celebrity doesn't start until you're Platinum on RCL. He did go ahead and "link" to two accounts, but my Gold status won't be translating to Classic on Celebrity. This is not a big deal to me, but I had read on an earlier post on this thread that it would so decided to give it a try. :-) Just thought I would pass this little tid-bit along for anyone at Gold status wondering what it gets you on Celebrity. ;-) Edited March 21, 2017 by rain_bowbrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeputyDawg46 Posted March 22, 2017 #37 Share Posted March 22, 2017 As a RCCL Diamond Plus vs Celebrity Elite, thisis what RCCL gives you that Celebrity does NOT! One free pictures per person (2 for a couple) A dedicated lounge 24/7 A full free day of wifi per person Better and more organized boardingprocess Three free casino pulls Four/Five bottles of free water inroom upon arrival and cookies Some special treats fruit/candy inroom during cruise A special pass tobridge/kitchen/backstage All you want to drink during RCCL social time - not just 3 drinks as on Celebrity In addition to all you want to drink during social hour in lounge or if you can't make it to the lounge... Three free drinks per person at bars during 1700-2030 We do not drink alcohol and so all we wanted was bottled water or sodas Celebrity Evening social is only1700-1900 versus RCCL 1700-2030RCCL has finger food"Buffett" rather than some server bringing around a few bite-sizechoices With the exception that Celebrity has more ports/routes than RCCL we feel Celebrity Elite status is treated like a 2nd class citizen when compared to RCCL.

Comparing Diamond plus to Elite is apples and oranges.....Different levels Also, Celebrity does not limit you to three drinks during the social hour, it is unlimited.

Rare cruisestitch Posted March 22, 2017 #39 Share Posted March 22, 2017 DeputyDawg, why did you compare Diamond Plus to Elite? You should compare Diamond to Elite, and/or Diamond Plus to Elite Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
