Do Elites get additional minutes of premium wifi on the 2nd leg of a b2b?

[Beba-Beba]

On one of my roll calls someone posted that they believe a new recent improved perk for Elites is if you are doing a B2B the second cruise Free 90 minute Premium Wifi perk is increased to 120 minutes.  Is that accurate?  I do not see it listed on the Captain's Club tier benefits or anywhere else either.  It would be lovely if true.

Since B2B cruises are two different cruises, no. You get your 90 minutes of Elite internet for each leg. Minutes or anything else doesn't  carry over from the first leg to the second leg either.

Everyone doing a B2B gets 30 free minutes of wifi to do their survey.   They will give you a code and once you activate it you have to use it.  I think you have to do it within 2 days. 
 

I don’t know if it can only be used for the survey.   We always had wifi so it wasn’t needed and not an issue for us. 
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

That used to be so but there was no mention of any 30 minutes of extra wifi for completing the survey on my recent Back to back cruises.

 

And when theu gave it, it wasnt limited to Elites, everybody got it.  So i don’t think thats what the OP is inquiring about

Glad to hear from you.

This is correct just like unused OBC doesn't carry over from one cruise to the other. If you do not see it on the CC benefits page from Celebrity it is most likely not true.

They didn’t carry any minutes over but at one time Celebrity definitely awarded back to back cruisers 30 minutes of Internet on the 2nd cruise in order to do the survey. I got it many years ago (maybe 10?) before I ever had an Internet package.

 

it didn’t have anything to do with being Elite, and I understand that they stopped doing it because there was some concern that it would appear that they were trying to bribe people to give good marks on the survey.

We are both Elite and were on the Equinox 21st and 30th November cruises.  My wife and I did not complete any survey and were given an additional 30 Minutes on top of the 90 minutes as Captains club perk for the second cruise without asking.  It was a surprise and were told it was introduced a month ago.

We frequently do B2Bs and it is correct that each cruise is treated as an individual cruise. Just as you are billed in full for all charges at the end of each cruise, perks, OBC are closed and zeroed out at the end of each cruise. And the next cruise gets their own applicable perks and OBC and you run a brand new credit card tab for expenses.

10 years 😱

, it would have taken at least 90 mins to download and send the survey because the service was so slow 🤣

[cruisestitch]

I don’t recall needing any extra minutes beyond the 30 they gave me for the survey then.

[doghog]

@Beba-Beba, to sum it up, no extra Elite internet minutes when doing a B2B cruise(#2). 

[cruisestitch]

Beba-Beba could you ask that poster on your roll call where that information came from, please?

But it's not a CC perk/benefit for being Elite or higher. The 30 minutes is given to anyone, not matter their CC tier level doing a B2B cruise. Not what you asked.

Read post #8.  They did not do the survey.

You don't have to do the survey. Celebrity gives the B2Bers the 30 minutes with the expectation that they will do the survey.  BTW in my experiences, the 30 minutes is way more time than needed to do the survey.

Do you have to use the 90 minutes in one session or can you spread it over your cruise? Thanks

You can spread the minutes out.
