Thanks, Angie. I couldn't work out what I would use the concierge for, but knowing that it covers, priority lunch on the day of boarding, specialty events, and the expanded room service menu, is all very enticing. Liked and Subscribed. 👍🏾
I’ve done 10 cruises with Celebrity. I do appreciate the value added with Concierge Class. Especially so for the priority embarkation and extra loyalty points. But the last 4 cruises have been in the Retreat. I’m okay with cruising a little less frequently and having all the perks when I do go on Celebrity. Thanks for doing this video. 🚢🥂😎
@@TripswithAngie Hi. If I had a choose a favorite perk, I’d say Luminae was the best. The level of service and cuisine make dining extra special. Having the staff get to know you is also a pleasure. Love that on the last morning you go and enjoy a full breakfast in a relaxed environment. No worry about being rushed get off the ship. And then you can enjoy the Retreat lounge until leaving by 10AM. The larger cabin, private sundeck, and other perks are great also. Love that the price is all inclusive. Happy Cruising. 🚢
Thank you for being very informative and so straightforward…to the point. It’s refreshing because so many people that make these videos drag them out for so long, it’s painfull! 😅 We’ll be trying out the Concierge in Feb! 😊👍 Unfortunately, as of January, room service now carries at fee of $9.95 per service.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. No bullcrap graphics and music - just straight up clear descriptions of the things that matter. Ok - this will sound snobby but it's quite the opposite: Have done 10+ Celeb Cruises- *all* in the best Penthouse onboard. Times Change and now, I am in my 40's and retired (long story) with 2 kids college eventually coming up. My point: Me and mama won't be doing Penthouses down the road lol. So here's my question: Concierge Class: Did you feel like cattle? Do they still treat you ok? Embark-Debark is it somewhat orderly? Also how is Main Dining Room food and service these days? Thanks and save travels.
We've done Concierge twice now only because that was an offer through our travel agent. I would not intentionally purchase that level. The only benefit we found worthwhile was being able to go to the main dining room for lunch after embarkation. Maybe one day we'll treat ourselves to the Retreat!!
THANK YOU! You answered my question I’ve been trying to find! Going onto the helipad for a departure. We’re sailing in November. Great vlog! Can’t wait to see your other vlogs on Reflection.
Thank you for your video. It was straight to the point and very informative. We’re sailing 18th March first time with Concierge on Millenium so can’t wait!
Have sailed twice with Celebrity, both times on Solstice and Concierge. Last cruise we celebrated my 70th Birthday and our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We definitely got special treatment, numerous invites including the sailaway on the helipad when we departed Tauranga in New Zealand. Returning to New Zealand this coming December on Celebrity Edge in a C1suite after a 5 year break thanks to COVID.
What a wonderful way to celebrate. I have a ship tour of the Edge ua-cam.com/video/ned5xkFNBBM/v-deo.html and a review of my most recent sailing ua-cam.com/video/V3Io7e1wPOs/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. I prefer concierge class as well. I paid extra for Aqua class once and was not impressed. Blu is nothing to write home about. I did like the shower in Aqua but but I wouldn't pay extra for it. Concierge is fine for us .
Great video! We are excited to go on our first concierge cruise! I actually bid for it for my parents and they ended up getting it for a pretty low price. The bonus was my wife & I were booked in a separate room but Celebrity upgraded us with them!! Celebrity has been 1st class as we had to cancel our Alaska cruise last June and they fully refunded our cruise because we had COVID. They even refunded us for our flights and hotel, luckily I booked it through them which I normally do not do. We are looking forward to our Mexican Riviera cruise this Saturday and hopefully it will be as good as what we remembered during our honeymoon!
@@TripswithAngie we’ve cruising primarily on Disney because of our kids so it will be good to get back on Celebrity. Heard some of the disappointing changes on Celebrity like charging for room service and charging extra for lobster for more than one. Honestly I only ask for 2! Haha! The dinner buffet being condensed. Normally we eat in the main dining room but there have been occasions where we went to the dinner buffet. What are your thoughts?
@@teesong6801 I'll be posting a full review later this month. I think that if you go into a cruise expecting to be disappointed, you will be. I suggest waiting to see if any of the changes actually create a problem for you.
Thank you very much for your video🙂🙂-very knowledgeable. My opinion is: If you think that Concierge class is that what you need and is cheaper on some dates of your cruise-then go ahead. Otherwise, I would choose Veranda stateroom.
Only reason I’ve got this on my next cruise is my travel agent had great group rates on it and I got it with drinks and wifi for much cheaper than a standard veranda.
Just booked a concierge for Sept on the Equinox, I did it because we were able to get a cabin without obstruction on deck 9. I hope it was worth the extra $$. Thank you for the information.
Thanks for making that video! It’s only $120 to upgrade to a concierge on my cruise. I might just do it. Having a body pillow would be so nice, and the priority tender in Cabo. Our sailing will be super full due to spring break.
thank u so much for the quick informative video. i'm trying to see if its worth it for my wife and i for a short 3 night cruise. i think the difference was around $100 than a normal veranda room.
First time sailing on Celebrity in June 2023. Going to Alaska on the Solstice. A previous cruise to Singapore was canceled during the pandemic. We booked a Concierge only because we couldn’t get a cabin with the location we wanted otherwise. Still have to waitlist to get something other than 8:30 evening dining reservation. We booked relatively late I guess, only 4+ months out. This video helped point out many more perks I wasn’t aware of so thank you for that. I do find it surprising how so many UA-camrs say that the majority of people get the drinks package. I think it’s outrageously expensive. That is especially true for us because my wife doesn’t drink alcohol or tea, but it does seem like you’d need to be pretty familiar with your bartender to make it worthwhile. Even more so on port intensive cruises. Thanks again for the info.
In the US, the drinks package is included in most promotions so most people book it included. If they are booking through the website, they may not even know you can get a No Perks rate. You can also opt for Anytime dining and make a reservation for each night when you'd like to dine via the App ahead of time. This may be a good option as you wait on getting the 8:30 pm set dining.
We just got back. Was on Solstice up and down the CA coast. Our dining time was supposed to be 8:30pm, but we showed up everyday around 5:30pm and was let in the MDR. There was never any push back at all.
I just booked the concierge class for our 12-nighter on Constellation for next January. First time cruising with Celebrity and, after seeing your video, I feel good about booking that class type. Although, it was a lil over a $300 difference from the one below. Lol Aqua and Retreat are ridiculously too expensive. Smh
I think you'll like the little extra perks on a twelve night. Celebrity is great. The Constellation will be similar to the Summit: www.tripswithangie.org/2020/02/celebrity-summit-cruise-ship-tour.html?m=1
Enhanced menu no longer really a perk. Especially now that we have to pay money for room service. We used to like conceirge for the expanded breakfast menu that we would have on the balcony, but last cruise in Feb, there was no way we were paying over $12 US for room service. The body pillow was a big perk for sure. Snacks in the afternoon were toally useless. Sailaways used to be a nice perk, but again in Feb, being on the helipad was not fun at all. I think there might have been one or two staff there, some watery drink, I don't even think there was alcohol. In past years, it had been a great social time to meet a lot of staff, but no longer.
Yes, I have, it did not go well! Let me explain...first of all the "Concierge" person was a waste of space. We had problems with MDR reservations, went there, no help at all. We finally went to MDR Maitre 'D and he took care of us...just as if we had an inside cabin. The afternoon canapes were a joke, you're right...go for room service. Champagne was okay, but really most people, like me, couldn't tell the difference. We did like the extended balcony. To be honest, we are elite, and most of the "perks" we already have. So, that will be our last cruise on concierge, but NOT on Celebrity.
Your video is very nice ! Thank you. I do have a question about the shower. My hubbie wants the detachable shower wand ( not sure what it is called) - he calls it the “ under the carriage sprayer”. This looks like the shower head is fixed. Is this correct? I am going to book for next year but not sure about the shower part.( on Reflection ) We have done aqua class before and loved it. That shower - wow. it was so nice, strong pressure and he got his detachable wand.
We are taking our first ever cruise to Vietnam and Thailand in 3 weeks. We have concierge cabin on floor 9. How do you get invited to lunch and to the sail away party etc? Are they not at the same time? Thank you so excited.
Thanks for clarifying we just booked our first cruise with celebrity and the Veranda room was $409 per person and the concierge was $700+ - Based on what you said I dont think its worth it
Concierge Class is useless. I'd rather get Aqua Class or pick a premium location for a nice veranda cabin. The onboard concierge is for all Captain's club members as well. The only decent perk is the occasional sail away event, but I talked to people who haven't received that for their last 3 sailings and were pretty upset about it. The lunch is usually over by the time most people get on the ship. What is it worth? Maybe $10/day but hardly more.
We are sailing in a C1 room on Celebrity Silhouette at the end of June. We have three in our room, do you know if there three robes or do we need to ask for the additional one? Your video was very informative for first time Concierge guest. I hate to miss out on anything.
hi :) im a bit confused about the price i have seen for a concierge suite as saw on a website i buy from that the concierge infinite verandah cabin on the celebritry edge was actually 100aud cheaper than a normal infinite verandah cabin, so i guessed that it must be a lower catagory cabin, but now im thinking not. can you please advise :)
I have 4 different cruise lines I'm looking at for Jan 1st or 2nd 2024. I want the Beyond so bad but my daughter says it may not be all that great for kids. We have a soon to be 11 year old but she'll be almost 12 when we sail. Did yall check out the kid areas, or should we skip Celebrity and do maybe RC or Disney again? I stress way too much about this I think lol.
I provide a detailed pros and cons analysis for travelers who book their cruise with me. If you live in the US, email Angie@tripswithangie.com to get started. It really depends on your itinerary and what your daughter likes to do.
Do you remember which dinning-room the welcome lunch was served in? Also, will be sure not to have the afternoon snacks delivered to our cabin. They did not look to good. Thanks
We prefer concierge class... the helipad experience on a port sail-out is a great perk. Funny, the canapes would come in the middle of the afternoon and the sushi was sometimes warm so we would have to throw it out.
At up to $150 on 15 days fine. We never found it worth it otherwise. We are booked on the Apex back to back in February. Was over $400 for concierge. Not worth it for the canapés drying out in the cabin when we are still ashore. Once you get Elite status you get a cocktail party every evening so definitely not worth Concierge.
@@TripswithAngie Yes. First on the Edge class. We are a little concerned about the infinite balcony. We have done this Caribbean so much I don’t care if I get off the ship. But I love the time on the balcony.
Concierge class is absolutely not worth paying for. All those perks are useless and some are annoying like canapés in the middle of the day when you are either not in the cabin, or you are resting, and a waiter is knocking at the door; in addition, those bites are so disgusting that I did not touch them. We used a Concierge person only once on the very first day, and there was a line in front of her desk, and she did not help us at all - we wanted to change our dining option, so we went to talk to a restaurant's manager, and she helped us. A pillow menu is a nuance, and a bottle of a sparkling wine is inconvenient because it should be drank all on the same day, or else it goes flat next day. More over you can bring your own bottle of a fine wine. Save your $ 200 that you pay for this Concierge nonsense and you will get so much more out of it than those silly perks. in MHO.
We love Concierge Class. We don't get to cruise often but have fallen in love with the little extra touches so we save for this.
Yay! I love that it's worth it for you.
Thanks, Angie. I couldn't work out what I would use the concierge for, but knowing that it covers, priority lunch on the day of boarding, specialty events, and the expanded room service menu, is all very enticing. Liked and Subscribed. 👍🏾
Welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
I have booked concierge and Celebrity have our embarking time at 1.30pm which I think we will miss the special lunch.

But the last 4 cruises have been in the Retreat. I’m okay with cruising a little less frequently and having all the perks when I do go on Celebrity. Thanks for doing this video. 🚢🥂😎
What perk from the Retreat did you value most? Larger cabin? Private sun deck? Luminae? Private Lounge?

The lectures on the Solistice while in Alaska are fantastic. I highly recommend. Not boring at all.

Great idea.
I would double check if drinking package is included. Blu is great, but we only once used the persian garden, so Aqua is not our first choice anymore.

Not at all, had this on the Solti d to Alaska didn’t see any of these offerings
You didn't get the letter in your cabin?
Do you remember which dinning-room the welcome lunch was served in? Also, will be sure not to have the afternoon snacks delivered to our cabin. They did not look to good. Thanks
There's only one dining room on the Silhouette.
For the snack tray I request they bring me a fruit plate instead daily
How was it?
Fresh and good daily
Glad to know that! Is there an extra cost for changing the snacks?
We did not get offered anything but 8pm. Sucks
Nit sure what this means
We prefer concierge class... the helipad experience on a port sail-out is a great perk. Funny, the canapes would come in the middle of the afternoon and the sushi was sometimes warm so we would have to throw it out.
We didn't get any sushi. Maybe that's why they stopped.
@@TripswithAngie Our second sailing didn't have any sushi this time.
Free bag of laundry?
Bottle water?

Oh no!
Did you ask about the extra perks???
Is room service free? Or a $7.95 fee?
Continental breakfast is included. All other food has a fee.
$9.99. Must be inflation.
