Great ship, friendly staff, awesome casino host. But there are a few things I wish I knew before the trip.
1) On this ship you must hit cash out and get a white piece of paper. Money you won is NOT loaded to your room key, like other ships. I left money in the machines for the first two days, not knowing this.
2. When you swipe your room key to start a machine, you must see your name and a green light on the screen, if the light goes blue, you are not earning points. This happens a lot if you get a machine bonus, check your light is green after each bonus. I’m sure I missed casino points on the buffalo game each time I got 3 gold coins.
3) Machine turned off on me, during a bonus spin…. It was weird, had to wait 5-10 minutes for machine to reboot. Stopped winning after the reboot???!?!
4) They delivered free room offers, the night before our last day at sea… seemed early because I earned a bunch more points after I got the offer, not sure why they give offers so early on this ship.
I will go again with Celebrity, but I’ll be more aware of the casino rules and I’ll ALWAYS hit cash out :)
The employees were very friendly, I was under the impression celebrity was known for top quality food. What we experienced was Luke warm tasteless food, dining room or buffet. The casino had some oppressive rules for bj 6/5 pay on bj. Craps only allowed one times bet on pass line unless you placed $50 pass line bet. This is the last cruise I will take. I thought celebrity was higher quality.
It seemed like they were cutting corners and finding a way to squeeze additional money out of you.
Never again I feel I wasted 11 days taking this trip
Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. I had a hard time understanding some of the employees, though. Casino allowed you to play, instead of just taking your money. Staff were unsure of Urcomped complimentary beverages in casino. They had pending drink charges on my credit card, but never actually posted to my card. Premium drinks are not included, just well drinks and US domestic beers.
Be very careful when playing. You actually have to cash out and collect a ticket. I hit end thinking the money was on my accounts and boy was I mistaken. Luckily someone gave me the heads up. Also the casino is small so it got super crowded making it hard to get onto a machine. Be patient!
