Just hit 304 (thanks to some PUP this year) ... and I have 28 days of cruising in Aqua class next month which will get me to 444 ... but with still another 306 needed to hit Elite Plus, that's more cruising than I've already done! Sitting at 733 with a cruise scheduled for May. Walk on board what may be our last Celebrity cruise as Elite and leave Elite + (after the points post). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some nice free specialty teas and coffees during the day and a 15% discount at Sushi on 5 which I wasn't aware of. Went twice. I feel I got my benefits worth. Wont make Zenith nor do I care to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we do chase loyalty levels. Before Celebrity split with Azamara, we had a long cruise booked on Azamara. We took a short cruise out of Florida on Celebrity to earn enough points for the next level on Azamara for some benefits we wanted on our upcoming long cruise. It was well worth it, and we enjoyed the Celebrity cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ground transportation, airfare, pre-cruise hotel, meals, etc. So that wouldn't be worth it to us.

So booking a knots-run aka mileage run cruise is reasonably easy for us. I can't tell from your logo where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mahdnc Posted December 11, 2023 #7986 Share Posted December 11, 2023 We finally made Elite Plus from our Galapagos cruise last month. The 360 Club Points we received from it meant that all the PUP earnings were not needed to achieve it. 2 free bags of laundry here we come! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how much did those 360 points cost 🤔😱 Still 130 points away from Elite plus , we did get screwed out of 28 points on one cruise First booked an OV than there was a price drop and upgraded to a balcony for the same price ( not with the upgraded bid) with the travel agency Celebrity opinion since we book an ov we only get points for an ov and under the opinion that since it was with a travel agency and not a bid up promotion we should get the balcony point 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
