Does anyone else feel that Celebrity is getting a bit too "spammy?"

[Vagabond Knight]

I just logged into my Celebrity account to see if I could change the frequency of emails, but it seems like all you can do is turn notifications and offers ON or OFF.  I don't want to turn them off because I appreciate getting an occasional email (weekly would be fine) about a new special offer, but I feel like Celebrity has gotten to the point of spamming me.  I'm getting 2-4 messages a day, and most of these "exciting deals" are the same "sale" that they've been running for months and months and months.

Yes! WAAAAYYYY too many emails. Just the other day I tried to do the same thing - limit emails. Thinking I'm going to email them to complain about the number of emails sent. 

[Octavias]

I agree, far too many emails selling the same deals.  

[Flying-Dragon]

Yes, I am seeing that too.  I counted - 1,000 emails in two years, or an average of 1.4 per day.  It varies from one to three a day, and has been a complete turn-off.  I not only don't read them, but it tells me that they are obsessed with their bottom line.  We are Elite with them but don't see cruising with them any more.

Entirely too many and even though I have had my January Eclipse cruise booked for a year the fare never drops regardless of how they reword the “sale”.

[islabahia]

I don’t even bother opening the emails…just delete them.  

[PTC DAWG]

I don’t see all that many, I just delete them, the mouse ain’t heavy.

A small price to pay, at least for my DW and I, for those 140 CC points (and counting) we each got for playing their Power Up Points game for the past 2 years. 😀

It doesn’t bother me. I just speed read them and delete them if they’re irrelevant to me.

I checked my trash folder history.  When I have 0 cruise reserved and have not logged in on their website for months, I have almost exactly 1 email a day from them.   When I started logging in and check for prices on cruise, I have 1 to 2 emails a day.   After I booked a cruise, I have on average 3 to 4 emails a day.

I only log in when I absolutely need to and use private browser when price checking.  That has reduced the number of emails I get.

Well, that's interesting!  I guess it's our bonus for booking.  😉

I have 11 emails in my inbox from Celebrity over the last 24 hours. So yes,  spammy is a great word.

The emails have become a nuisance and this thread has prompted me to unsubscribe just now.  Thanks for the nudge.  I know with absolute certainty that if ever there is something worthy in one of their emails, it'll be posted here on the Celebrity boards within moments. 😉

Wow!  You "win."  😲

For years, despite repeatedly signing up for their e-mails, I didn't receive any e-mails at all.  Absolutely nothing.  I would only know about specials and so forth because I read about them on Cruise Critic.  I called the Captain's Club a number of times, talked to Captain's Club host/hostess while on board, talked to Michael's Club concierges -- and still nothing.  Nothing in the inbox and nothing in the junk folder either.

 

Finally I started receiving them for a year or two.  Suddenly stopped prior to Covid-19.  Have no idea why they ceased, but quite frankly if any thing of any importance is announced then I read it on this forum.

 

The only e-mails we receive from X deal with issues such a an itinerary change on a specific booked cruise.  We also do receive any e-mails sent to Zeniths.

 

Always was a mystery to me.

I just formed a support group

[diesel1973]

Not to mention all the junk I get by snail-mail. Not only from X but also all the other cruise lines. Almost every day I get something from one of them !

[CaribbeanBound]

Totally agree.  Yes, way too many emails as I'm getting 1-2 per DAY.  Rediculous.  Most are not useful or helpful.  Agree they are spammy due to frequency and with lack of usefulness.  Seriously, they are pushing me away.  STOP!

[retird]

Of course, if you unsubscribe from their emails, I believe that also unsubscribes you from any emails on promotional offers from the Blue Chip Club
