Thread: Rumour? Michaels Club for Captains Club members 4pm - 6 pm?

From the sound of this, we may be getting the "official" word pretty soon.

From another message board:

Just back from Baltics cruise on Constellation
We are Elite members of Captains Club.

On second day we received 'Exclusive' card with letter explaining benefits, and how to take advantage.

8am - 10am Champagne continental breakfast in Michaels . As it says free champers with cold breakfast. I went one morning and only 5 others attended.

4pm -6pm Menu of free drinks, champagne, gin, wine etc and canapies served.
At 5pm each day Head Sommelier attended and gave you a glass of red and white wine and explained history/ taste . We attended about 5 days and most we ever saw was about 15 people. Whilst speaking to staff the most they have ever had was about 30 so the critics who think it will be crowded are mistaken.

50 dollars credit on internet - no catches

Free laundry bag.

Add that to trips to heliport, galley, bridge, theatre, Captains cocktail party and Senior Officers Party.

Benefits with Celebrity beginning to be worthwhile.

The Captains Club benefits till now have been less than impressive. I hope this is a sign that Celebrity isn't cutting back like it's parent company.

I'm not a bit surprised that Michael's Club isn't crowded. It's a shame they couldn't find a place to have the "Elite Club" where a cruiser could go to have a drink before dinner. Those of us that chose to have second seating, will not benefit from this perk.

I think they will have to work out the bugs. Since the above report is from a Baltics cruise maybe the reason it wasn't crowded is because folks were still on shore...or folks who had late dining didn't avail themselves of the pre-dinner drinks that early.

I agree that Michaels Club is not the best place for something like this. Perhaps the morning breakfast, but not the cocktail hour.

Plus - $50 worth free Internet.

Char - the Internet will be welcome!! Sounds more likely than open to Select.

Now that free internet is a real temptation since we do not drink. Only two cruises on Celebrity so far but one was for a 14 day cruise in a suite so that gives us a few points.....

Neal---how about the free laundry? I like that since we always use the laundry for Bob's underwear and a couple of Dockers during a longer cruise.

Free laundry?????? We missed that entirely!

I missed that too. I saw the laundry bag but didn't think it included free laundry.

Well, whatever it is, is does sound nice.
I SO wish we had a Celebrity ship home ported at Port Canaveral!
