The biggest tips for Celebrity Cruise lovers : If you are sailing on a Edge class ship, Aqua Class is a waste of money...Most people not all but most say they book Aqua Class for Blu...However, if you book a Edge class ship there are 4 Main dinning rooms that are great, Blu on these ships would be over kill...HOWEVER, if you are on a M or S class ship Aqua Class is a better bargain BUT consider this...If you book a Veranda cabin and book a specialty restaurant every night, it will be cheaper then booking Aqua Class UNLESS you can get a great deal for Aqua Class. Next tip, MAKE SURE if you are Elite or higher and you book spa appointments DO NOT forget to go to the Spa as soon as possible to get your 10% or 15% refund depending on your status...The discount will not apply when you book the appointment, it must be done when you are on board... Tip 3....If you request just one cabin cleaning per day instead of 2, you will get a few extra points...If you can live with the Cabin cleaning once, then more important then the few points is you give the Cabin stewards some extra time to recoup which I hope is the case.
@skeletor9121 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the detailed advise. I wasn’t aware of double points for only a one time cabin cleaning per day.
@CruiseSeakers Жыл бұрын
Great points! But I believe the go green program does not double your points. They give you points equal to one extra day of cruise. So if you were in a Veranda for 7 nights, you will normally get 21 points. When you go green you will get 3 extra points total as an additional bonus.
@CruiseSeakers Жыл бұрын
@@skeletor9121I think this might be off. I believe you get one days extra worth of points.

I'm going on my first cruise in 3 months (Oct'24), and although your tips will be useful for most of those watching, I'm not really your target audience. I'm 69 years old on a fixed income with very little savings, so this cruise is likely my first and last one. I just figured I'd go on one before it's too late. So things like discounts due to tier upgrades aren't likely to apply to me, and since I'm not a big drinker, the drink packages don't make sense for me either. Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort you put into this video, and like hearing about tips and tricks that an experienced cruiser like yourself is willing to pass on. I'm off to the Dominican and Puerto Rico on the Celebrity Eclipse before I know it!

David, you are doing the right package with classic beverage. Any beverage under $10 is free. If you get a drink that is more than $10, they just charge you the difference, so if it's an $11 drink, you are only charged $1. I also think that his reply was incorrect, you can get smoothies from the juice bar in the spa cafe if you have classic beverage to the best of my knowledge. I highly recommend booking your reservation to restaurants in advance. Normandie and Cosmopolitan are my favorites - the gnocchi and the duck is delicious.
